This is possibly the best / most detailed review of how to handle this installation. All of your videos are outstanding. I’m relying on your CIC upgrade vid and this one to perform a retrofit of my own. I’ve emailed Nick to make arrangements, just haven’t heard back yet. Great content as always!
I did my CIC and I see the dash. My current problem is no Bluetooth, I have the setting but it’s unavailable. I don’t have the navigation even as an option. Why won’t the navigation work and with the Bluetooth since I have a 2007 that the Bluetooth module only makes calls and receives call will I need to change something else in my car. I have a 2007 525i E60 I got the cic out of another true e60 2010. I’m so lost on this coding and stuff need help!!!
hello i wonder if you could help me plz.... i have bought a bmw e92 with a retro fitted combox. the blue tooth and the aux does not work. i suspect it has not been coded. how do I get a hold of nick ? thanks

Can you do a video on how to fix crackling and buzzing noise coming out of my speakers? It happens when I floor it and I play loud music, still haven’t figured it out, thanks.
Hi there i have problems with my connected drive etc know they say thay i must reset the telematic ecu how.canni do.that do you know.that please advise great video btw

I had 335 2007 the radio is working and stop the pic of sosphone is showing on board the Bluetooth is not working ?? The same for my Bm have to change ??
New subscriber here and I think I watched 50% of your videos so far back to back! I got a few more to go. I love the car, but I watch it more for the N54 because I’m new to N54 (135i). Anyway, when I watch your DIY videos one thing I wish you do before you start is to show everything needed to get the job done. That way from the beginning of the video if I need to run out and go buy this or that I can prep the job. Just a suggestion you know. But thank you for the videos keep them coming.
Hi thanks for the upload, I am a little confused do you need to keep your phone plugged into the car to use Spotify ect? If so I don't see the point in the com box as you can plug in a Bluetooth adapter bovee ect and go hands free with steering wheel skip. Thanks in advance
Hi, great video. I have a 2013 e70 with only 2g. If I get the 4g upgrade will I need to code to get everything to function is will I need a computer to do the coding?
What does this combox even do? Can someone explain me? My Audio-Hifi systems makes strange white noise and almost never plays the music since 6 month. the salesman told me the problem comes from the combox. Because Radio and CD works, only USB and Bluetooth don't.
Hey BMW Fanatic, I just bought a 2015 Z4 from Carvana and then found out my combox was deactivated in 2017 by BMW. I emailed the dealership to find out about getting the LTE combox installed and this is how they responded, is this accurate? "A bit of bad news I'm afraid... The previous owner actually elected to have the combox deactivated and receive a $200 voucher. This option unfortunately prevents the vehicle from having BMW Assist capability entirely. Sorry about that." Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!
I notice you didn't connect anything to the MULF blue plug, you left it hanging. Did you lose any functionality because of that? Does your AUX audio still work?
Did you ever find an answer to this? My aux isn’t working, it not grayed out but when you select it it won’t select. I opened up my trunk to find this hanging mulf plug and bypass loop

Thanks guys for watching!
Yes, can't agree more. Nick is a true expert and having watched him work on my car, he is real good.

No answer from Nick... Been a couple days now
BMW Fanatic hello, where can i buy the connectic that you show in the video?
How can get a hold of nick
Was waiting for the coding section, the most important part and there was nothing. Please remove the word "coding" from the descriptor.
Completely agree
I was here for the coding as well but it’s like the 11 herbs and spices
😂😂😂
So frustrating. Right!
I'd love to see a more detailed explanation on the coding.

Love your videos. Im a new n54 owner and you have helped me out immensely. Thanks for doing what you do.
Wait I don’t get it, the combox adds Bluetooth audio, but you have to plug it in still to use ? Doesn’t that defeat the point of Bluetooth ?
