I had a question as I am still struggling to make my navigation work. the FSC codes seem to have been accepted using the SWT patcher. The issue I am having is that when I click on navigation the message "starting navigation system displays and it just gets stuck on this screen. I am yet to update the maps and enter the code from the FSC generator as the system does not get past the loading screen. Any ideas or a solution as to what i might be doing wrong? thank you in advance

    • @bmwdiy
      @bmwdiy  2 роки тому +2

      You can see the part number for the CIC unit at 1:14, there are various part numbers for this. The one I got has the part number 6512 9239214. The "6512" is in the bottom left corner of the sticker. Just type in "e90 CIC head unit" in ebay and look for the one with the latest build date you can find. The build date is right above the the part number and is displayed as week/year so 32/10 for example would be the 32nd week of 2010. As for the screen, the one I got has the part number 65829193745. This is the best version of the screen since it has the clear plastic protective shield which only came on 2009 or 2010 model years.

    Can you explain exactly which code responsible for the sound or you just you change your build date

    • @bmwdiy
      @bmwdiy  4 місяці тому +1

      You change the build date in order to access the CIC module since the earliest model year for E9x cars with CIC was 2009. Then you have to code the CIC to your VIN which has your option list including the option code for your car's sound system option. If you don't have sound right away, it is because the car the CIC came from had a different sound system option than yours. In my case the CIC came from a car with no Logic 7 and my E93 has Logic 7. No big deal. Just follow the steps in the video at 20:20. Once you read your car's VIN, it will show you a list of all the options your car has. The option code for Logic 7 is $677 if your car has that, but you are going to want more than just sound. Bluetooth, PDC, DVD video playback, etc.

    @BMW DIY This was an amazing walkthru of the cic process, I have a 2010 e90 with the cic iDrive system (non combox aswell) it went to the body shop for a couple weeks and when I got it back from them my iDrive system is stuck constantly rebooting itself after a couple minutes of operating, I’ve been doing some research and reading forums of people with the exact same or very similar issue and alot of it points to having to replace the cic + recoding the new installed cic to my vin. This was by far the best video I seen on UA-cam describing the process A-Z but I have a couple of questions in regards to this process if I were to tackle this job on my own comfortably, is there any way possible to contacts you via any form of social media or email for a couple brief questions, that’d be extremely appreciated. Extremely impressed with your coding skills man you could be making money from this from what I just watched, great job brother. Best regards!

      Yes, and I actually prefer the CCC control knob for the E93 since it’s much more durable. I met someone with an LCI 2011 E93 that had the CIC controller, he left the top down in the rain and the controller was fried. $400 for a new one. Also if you have the top down in the hot sun it might cause the paint on the CIC controller buttons to easily peel and fade.

They are interchangeable. Try to look for the latest build date so you are more likely to find one with the latest C1A software update so you should have no issue coding the navigation. You can see the build date right above the part number. For example the build for this one below is 25/09 which means the 25th week of 2009.

    I've been looking for a tutorial like this for a long time - thank you my brother. Very well put together - i have no idea how you even worked this out, you obviously have a good understanding of the software.
    One question - i have purchased custom FSC codes from Mak Coding for my CIC with my VIN coded to them, it is the retrofit pack which activates Navigation, unlocks voice control and enables apps for combox (which i dont yet have).
    Do i programme these codes via FSTool?
    Thank you for your help.

      Do you have the voice control button on the steering wheel? Also, do you have the TCU unit? You can check in the trunk underneath the carpet behind the top hydraulic fluid. If you have the TCU, you can code in Bluetooth by adding $639 to you vehicle order and then coding that to the CIC with Ncsexpert. You can also upgrade to the Combox instead of the TCU so you can get Bluetooth Audio in addition to Bluetooth for calling.
      To code the voice control, you need to add the FSC code for voice control to your car with FSTool like I show you in the video at 36:42. The coding template is 17. You also need to make sure you have $620 in your vehicle order.
      Here is a link to the map data with instructions www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1765354

You can download the coding software here www.bimmergeeks.net/downloads its free and it gives you instructions. At 21:55 I show you how to read the vehicle order or option list of the car with NCSexpert, you can see I have $620 on the list since the car came with voice control.

      I will show you how to install the Combox in my next video so stay tuned. You can find the Combox on eBay, but make sure the ad says it's for E90 to E93, you can tell since it will say Combox BN2000 on it and the connection on the bottom will be black. You will also need an adaptor for your TCU wiring harness to the Combox which you can get here www.ebay.com/itm/324876254004?hash=item4ba4223b34:g:VfoAAOSwwCNhyOem

    This is amazing man, the most thorough video I've seen. I do have a question though, I have a plan to use an aftermarket display that has the apple carplay/android auto functions. Are there any issues you might see with that or am I good with just doing all the normal steps of the retrofit but with replacing the normal CIC display with the android aftermarket display?

    • @bmwdiy
      @bmwdiy  2 роки тому +1

      The only issue is that the aftermarket android screen can only connect through AUX audio which is crap compared to USB. Also it will come with all these extra harnesses that make it so cramped back there and prone to overheating. I recommend you just do the Combox upgrade so you can get OEM Bluetooth Audio and Spotify on your Idrive screen if you have the USB port in the armrest.

    • @bmwdiy
      @bmwdiy  3 роки тому

      All the parts are the same except for the head unit. I put the part numbers in the description. Make sure you get a head unit from late 2009 or early 2010 if you're buying from eBay so it is more likely to have the C1A software. It should say what car the head unit came from in the ebay ad (should be 2009 or 2010 E60). The screen is the same like the one in this video. The only other part you need for the E60 is the trim that goes around the head unit. -> www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-bmw-parts/center-dashboard-trim/51456976361/
