Easy BMW e60 CCC constant reboot fix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2024
- CCC has been rebooting on the BMW logo for 6 months. I have tried all sorts of fixes on youtube and hundreds of websites but none seemed to work.
For some reason I didn't believe My CCC was toast.
Reluctantly, I decided to buy a used CCC unit. I got it, installed it and everything worked fine. But then it had the power knob missing, so I decided to remove the front panel and replace it with mine from the old CCC. Then the new CCC went nuts rebooting on its own just like the old CCC did.
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE FRONT PANEL WAS THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG.
I reinstalled my old CCC and swapped the front plates with that from the new CCC and MY OLD CCC came back to life.
I hope this video helps someone save a buck or two and a lot of stress as I didn't see any video covering this possibility, hence my decision to make this.
What! No way dude- I’ve been going down the rabbit hole with the same problems as you ! I can’t thank you enough for letting the people know to look outside the “ccc box” haha
Yo! I thought it was the HDD, swapped out for an SSD and same, it kept rebooting at the BMW logo. I took it apart again and while tinkering I decided to test it disassembled and behold everything worked flawlessly, disconnecting the face plate fixed my issues too. I guess I got an SSD out of the investment, now it boots up faster. Your video did confirm my theory, thanks!
Just did this for my 2010 320i and it's working fine now! I haven't replaced the unit yet I just disconnected the ribbon cable until I find a replacement but it still works now. Awesome video thanks so much man.!
Thanks for the public service announcement, I had same problem and bought a used ccc, that didn't work either then I found this video and pulled it apart and found the solder for the plug between the boards came right off, resoldered them and its fixed,, wish I had seen this video earlier in my search, saved me a right headache trying to diagnose it
Could you be more specific, was it obvious to see? I would be really curious to know because I'm about to repair this problem too. Any insight to what you soldered would be appreciated
@@percypig3358 there is something that connects some terminals of the top and the bottom PCB together, it clips in but the solder on the 8 feet that solders it to the board can come off and may need resoldering. Once you pull it apart you will know
My screen is on reboot for almost 2 yrs now 😅 will try to follow your video and pray it get fixed 🙏
Do let us know the outcome.
Didn’t work for me mate 😕 I changed the climate control panel unit and the screen still reboots mine is a bmw 1 series 2014 oh well at least I tried
@@ninezero9066what does climate control has to do with idrive? Why would you change it? It literally shows in the video what to change
Try the IBS sensor
My CCC was going very slow and I couldn't find the cause. The memory and eject buttons didn't work either.
Watching your video I checked the data cable that connects to the front plate and it finally works correctly.
Thanks a lot.
I am glad it worked for you. Thumbs up.
Which one is the data cable?
Best video about ccc unit , u just save for some people time and money , good job
Thank you! I resoldered the contacts between the two prints inside that frontpanel and rebooting problem is fixed!
Bravo!!!
what did u resoldered?
@@kasparsmellups5835 remove the Top circuit board from the front panel. It has two connectors. One is the flat cable on the right, that is NOT the problem. The problem is the other connection between the two boards. I'll post a picture
@@mikexdijk Wich year car do u have, thanks for replay will wait for pic, my car was just standing still for few weeks, and now I decided to sell it, and the CCC doesn't work
@@kasparsmellups5835 2008 e61 professional ccc (with double DVD drive)
Thanks for this video this just happened to me. Now I know what to legend
Awesome, mine just started doing this after I replaced the bluetooh module in the trunk. lol, will give it a try. thank you.
Mantap bro...never expected this faceplate could be the culprit!!
Excellent. I have a 2007 525i that is doing the same thing. I cannot find a replacement faceplate to save my life though! ALl the graveyards have their plates cracked or missing! But I want to upgrade (sic) to a cic anyway. great video though.
Try resoldering the faceplate like some folks here have done. Then sell yours and upgrade to CIC. 2007 should be MASK II if I'm not mistaken.
@@sharpshenk3794 I don't wanna go thru the hassle of soldering when I am going to replace the entire thing with a CIC/Android Auto afterwards anyway. But I might have to do it anyways because I can't find a cic for the e60, just the 390's.
Thank you so much! I have been trying many things to fix my issue and this was exactly what I needed to make it work again
Glad the video helped you.
So was this your issue and was it fixed
@@ehmanrasool2570 yes it was. I unplugged the ribbon connector and I havnt replaced it. I’ve left it unplugged and it’s been a few months now with the ccc working.
@@davidrowe2217 just so I understand this, correctly. You only unplugged the ccc’s radio front face plate (with all the buttons) and the ccc is now working fine no more rebooting ??
@@aimized1460 yes, that is correct. On the ccc head unit itself, I unplugged the small ribbon wire connector from the plastic faceplate with the buttons. it didn’t completely solve the issues but it did make it usable. Every once and a while the ccc will get stuck in the reboot loop but if I just tap the plastic front plate with my fingers, it gets unstuck. The volume knob still works somehow.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if I didn’t explain very well
Man thank u so much for making this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sharp Shenk for president!
😁😁
Thanks i have same problem now i know where it’s coming from
It could be from many other things not only this…
Thank you for making this video!!
ill try this as i am out of options but seems like a very overloooked problem so i thank you for that
No harm in trying. Kindly let us know the outcome of your experiment.
Thank You for sharing, that is very informative!
Interesting!
And you say you have tried without any facia and it does boot up?
Removing the faulty fascia does not stop it from rebooting, I tested with my working unit. so its not a good way to diagnose
@@kaisersosak2371 Yeah, I agree.
Great dude! Thanks a lot! 🙏 just saved everyone here a minimum of 400€
My pleasure. Glad it helped.
@@sharpshenk3794 so I took mine apart and there are 10 pins on the lower board right near the 8 button and the button for „next song“. These are normally soldered and connect the two boards on this module, but in my case they were loose which caused very probably short circuits or something like that. I cleaned them and soldered again. Now the CCC works perfectly just as it should.
@@Md-br5fn Good Job! Maybe I will try that with the one I removed. I never really got the chance to take it apart and inspect it. It also would have been nice to make a video of it so others can learn. Folks are really fleecing people out of a lot of cash for this CCC fix when its easy for the most part.
Hi after watching your video and reading the helpful comments I took apart the front plate and underneath the two boards the connector was very loose. Pushed it back into place, reassembled everything and for the past month it had been working flawlessly. Now the issue I am having is exactly same as before. Would you recommend I soldiered it? How would I do this? Thanks
@@AutoluxDesignUK yes, i soldered mine and haven‘t had any problem since. Solder the connector on one of the boards and it will work perfectly.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm going to try this.
You are welcome. Do let us know if it works.
Hi
Was wirking for changing the face?
Excellent video but how much did you pay for used CCC ?
It was about $150 or something like that. I ended up not using it.
@@sharpshenk3794 Used ccc is never the solution. Reballing only 😂😂
Well done, thanks for making the video
Will try this, either way top tip m8
Thank you.
Thanks a lot your life saver
I have the old ccc. What do you think, will it work on it too?
Thank you sooo much my ccc is starting to do that
I will try this out, my '12 m3 has the same issue constant i dribe reboot every 10 min
Will it work for you, same issue?
sheeeeeeesh i almost bought one, gotta try this first
Let us know if it worked for you
So is he saying to replace just the black part or the box panel aswell?
thanks dude!!!
I wonder if this would work for my 2014 4 series because mines keep going g through the reboot cycle as well but won’t get any further.
Will try the faceplate on my F30 and see if that will work, thanks.
did it work?
@@josepadilla3236 bought a spare one, will try it in couple of months when I return to my country.
You just saved a minimum of 1,000 bucks, ily
Oh hell no! I've bought 2 used CCCs on eBay with no luck. It just keeps rebooting and I'm not even seeing the logo.
But now I'll try this out since I have the extra faceplate right here. PLEASE LET THIS BE IT! I've been driving around with no infotainment system in my car for over year.
This means, no second dates.
Please let us know if it worked for you.
Thank you for the video man. I have same problem in my 530xd 2008. Rebooting over and over again. When i press next song button ( right arrow) with all my strenght it lighten up all numbers on the board and then idrive comes back to work. Its really frustrating. I will try to take the board off just to see if this is the problem in my case. Can you tell me will it work without board attached? Or I must first find another board to try it? Thank you once again
I can't say if it will work as I didn't try it but I'm guessing it shouldas long as the unit has been turned on already.
The problem usually progresses from hard-pressing some buttons (4&5) together to stay on, then to not responding at all. So I guess you should find someone scrapping their car or try a junkyard and get one really cheap. If you are handy, then you could pull the circuit board on the panel and inspect or repair. I will try that someday with my old one, I just haven't had the time yet.
@@sharpshenk3794 i dont really know how to repait that electrical stuff but i will search for board on junkyards and also i will try to get mine off and see if rebooting will stop without it. Then i will know. And i will let you know here. Thank you so much for this video once again and for answering me. There is doesen of CCC videos and lot of stupid videos but nobody did what you did!
So you Had the same issue, that the lights are sometimes completly off and sometimes are flickering etc?
Thank you brother 👏
Well done!
Did it had iDrive unit? Thnx
Good job 👏
For example i have ccc on 2007 e87 so if i try autoradio of same car same year it will run , if panel fits in its place even if it is little different i think the connectors from back are same anyway i will try to find one for me i will go for crushed cars .
E91. 11/2008 M-Ask2 withe the bootloop problem. Don't know how to solve the problem
is there a way you can replace the ribbon cable with out replacing the whole ccc unit? my dumbass ripped it out of the radio player in accident
What? I don't have another front panel to test with but I unpluged the ribbon cable to see if it woud work. It didn't work.
Anyone else have any luck with this method?
Thanks for the input!
You are welcome.
That will work on bmw e90 2005 ccc system?
I have same problem it rebooting again and again ….plz help
You'll have to try it first. You may want to disconnect the front panel and turn ignition on.
Hey bro this is the closest to fixing the same problem I have but I bought a ccc unit and replaced it and it worked for about 2 hours....any tips??
Does your CCC reboot in a loop? If it worked for only two hours, maybe something else is responsible for it. Have you checked your MPM in the trunk? Inspect the wiring harness too near the CCC for any damage. Do you get any warning or errors?
My ccc unit just started restarting by itself but it’s affecting the rest of the car. Whenever it starts going bad i get a 4x4 and stop assist light that they’re diasbled. It was doing a weird thing last night causing my headlights and tachometer to flicker with it. Almost as if the whole car was loosing power. I could drive normally at first but now even switching gears is jerky and acceleration flickers with the lights
You need to get the car scanned for faults. This is not likely to be a problem from the ccc. Get a $40 scanner and start with that or take it to the Autozone or the shop for proper scanning.
Turned out to be the battery and a faulty positive terminal, now again I’m back because it’s actually in a bootloop
I have a 2007 bmw 550i my ccc is acting up I'm pretty sure the screen keeps trying to boot then kicking off the part is 1500 dollars is there a way I can use a different face that doesn't match my old one
$1,500??? Man! Someone's trying to fleece you of your hard earned greens! You can swap out the front panel for far much less if that is the issue in your case. What's your location? If you are in my area, I could help you take a look at it.
My idrive keeps waking up thousands of times while the car is in my garage killing battery after battery and will not keep power after a few days to a week on a new battery. I have a 2005 545i and I am getting this same thing where the idrive will cut on and off repeatedly however, sometimes it will eventually stay on and work for hours. I've already spent over $3000 replacing the alternator, water pump and everything else they've suggested to be killing my alternator and ultimately my battery....still the same issue! Please help! I had my headliner replaced and once I went to pick up my vehicle, my car was completely dead and this is where all the issues with my idrive started!
You have a nasty battery drain and need to find out what's draining the battery. You need to run a drain test. There are videos on youtube that treat this issue. Dealers and lazy mechanics will recommend changing everything but the problem will still persist. Basically, you need a multimeter and spanners to loosen battery terminal for your test. That's all. It's an easy test. Don't spend anymore money until you identify the exact cause of the parasitic drain from your test. Good luck.
Pareil que vous avec ma 530d vide la batterie.radio reboot voiture fermée.
@@sharpshenk3794 I got it squared away! The problem was, I'd had a headliner job done and the company who done the job didn't reconnect the right plugs. The guy had plugged the domelight up to the wrong connector....Once he came back to the states after the Christmas and New Year holiday, he took the headliner down and noticed it immediately. Unbelievable, he cost me an extra $3k buying batteries and taking the car to specialists to run tests and change out parts that weren't even faulty.
Hello I have a 2011 bmw 550i and my screen works when I turn on the car for like 1 minute then it goes black screen, but I can still hear the radio. Would you happen to know what’s wrong or any tips to fixing this ?
Check your display settings. Click settings>>display>>uncheck turn off display. If that doesn't solve your problem, then inspect the wiring harness that goes to the display.
@@sharpshenk3794 thank you fixed it
@@luisfuentes269 Can you share what you did to fix it?
hello please help me i have same problem on my e87 can you give an advice where i can find only panel to buy or what should i do, i do not want to buy whole thing just for panel. thank you so much
You should check fb marketplace, or a junkyard or find someone with a bad ccc. You can also try changing the ribbon cable that connects the faceplate to the ccc. That's usually the culprit. Sometimes if you press the faceplate in a little, especially around the eject button, the ccc might become responsive.
@@sharpshenk3794 ok thank you so much i will try to search on Facebook but i have one more question if i buy another ccc or cic it doesn’t need reprog ?? Or it will automatically run?
@@ss5corpion900 Sometimes, it wont need reprog. Especially if you get same type, but buying the whole thing is just a waste of money. I still have not sold the one I bought, it's just money tied down. Do not waste money. Go on FB and look for some accidented car for scrap.
@@sharpshenk3794 yes i search on fb but the panels are not same i think others will fit also because it is for same car same year i will try thanks bro
@@ss5corpion900 if panels are not same, then it's different. There's MASK, there's MASK II, there's CCC and then CIC, then there's EVO/NBT. Check pictures online for comparison and know which one is yours. The stock one may have been changed along the line so checking by year isn't advisable. I've seen multiple times where say a 2009 e60 had MASK II as replacement.
unfortunately didn't work for me, i unplugged my volume panel ribbon and it still reboots :(
thanks for the confidence to take this apart though
did you find a fix mines the same
@@BradLeviLagus I had to buy a new / used ccc unit.
@@lSTEEF i bought one and it still doesn’t work
@@BradLeviLagusBest getting a repair that way you have warranty
I have same problem but After i seen this video .. I just reject the CD desk from the ccc and the screen is back to work 😂😂
If I remove the faceplate and turn it on with it removed will it stop it rebooting?
Instead of asking go in your car and try it man
I’m going to try to do this and I will let you know if it worked I will comment back later this week
@@aimized1460 did it work?
Does that work on e61 2005?
@@SonnyLT Does it have a CCC or MASK II unit?
Somebody had this problem with e63 645ci, how to fix it?
I guess this should work. It's the same CCC on both cars. Like someone here suggested, you can take the front plate apart and check for loose contacts to resolder.
Good video very informative but couldn't hear you too low
So my question is what on that face unit is causing it to do that?
Same here bro
Will this work on 528i
I did the swap on a 528i, so it would. It should work on any idrive system.
So I have had no screen and sound stopped. I have another ccc unit that needed coding. So just use the new faceplate on my original body?
Yes. That's what I did.
@@sharpshenk3794 it worked! I still haven't gotten the screen on but it's not in sos at least
@@jeffgombosi6837 Your screen might be turned off. There is a setting for it, I don't remember how to get there on a blank screen but I think I or maybe someone else mentioned it here somewhere.
@@jeffgombosi6837 Try the buttons on your steering wheel to see if it turns back on, or the buttons on your radio unit too. Goodluck!

@@adrianromero4091 Maybe you should get a used screen from Ebay for less than $50. It is an easy fix that should take you 10 minutes.
Is this job expensive
No
mine still doesn’t woro
This problem is very rare, 90% of the time it's software or hardware problems with the motherboard
unfortunately didnt work for me. Cost me $220 to get the motherboard rebuilt from a guy in uk
You could have bought a used one from your nearest junkyard for much less.
@@sharpshenk3794 I looked into it but after getting it recoded to my car it would have been more expensive plus you risk the same thing happening again anyday. where the rebuilt motherboard has the weak points upgraded and i got a warranty so im happy
You don't need to recode it. Just get the one that looks like the one you have already and it will fit nicely and work perfectly without any coding. In case anyone else is facing similar choices.
@@sharpshenk3794 no how these work bud each unit is coded to the vehicle order. So unless you get it from the exact same spec car youll end up with options greyed out or no sound etc
This trick working with CCC facelift 2008 but no need to chenge front panel. It's very easy to repair it. Before that like BMW from 2004 2005 2006 not working.
How?
I’ve just got my car back from being painted and now I have this problem
How did you fix this without replacing the panel?
how do u repair then?
I live how people like you say it’s very easy to repair but yet there is no footage showing it or any proof, so get your facts straight.
ok
And I have a 05 e60
05 E60 should have a MASK II I believe and not CCC.
It only left a message on the display screen that says “head unit not coded correctly” and yes it keeps on rebooting and freezes for most of the time
@@nicholasfearon5435 Then it needs coding it to the vehicle. But if you get exact type using the number on the front panel, it will work without coding. What type does your car have? MASKI, MASK II OR CCC?
@@sharpshenk3794 I’m not a hundre percent sure but I think it’s ccc
@@nicholasfearon5435 If you have a picture of it, I can tell which.
anyone got fix for flash and black screen? the ccc was fine but i tried to add apple carplay box in and I unplugged the CCC unit and when i took out gps/radio black blue cable the screen faded and never came back thanks
Carplay/andriod screens/boxes kill ccc units they just can't handle the extra work.
