Is there a definitive way of telling though my MMI doesn't have the AUX option at all displayed and I understand some 06's didn't come with upgraded MMI or ASK.
Paper--with your helpI have determined that my January 2002 E65 does not have the Facelift Ask and MMI required to have a fully integrated Aux working off the iDrive MMI and the volume controls. I would be satisfied, forgive me, with a simple input to play my iPhone through the amp and speakers. Did your prior Aux work-around work that way before you apparently upgraded to the Facelift Ask/MMI fully coded to the display? I ordered my E65 new after seeing it displayed at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show and it was one of the first delivered to our area. It is still going strong with 120K, a third party coolant pipe kit, one new hydraulic stabilizer bar and an OEM Bluetooth update. I appreciated your Aux videos.
By the way Papper...
What is the program you use to change the ASK unit firmware so it can communicate with the FM tuner after replacing to a newer ASK?
I have a 11/2003 mod e65 730D, i think its not a feclifted ask and mmi, can bmw dealer program the unit to work With this oem aux cable or do i need to get the dension module?
Hey paper
I followed your instructions and i can’t seem to get this to work.
I have an 04 745li. i upgraded the following to the facelift model, Ask unit, mmi, Tcu, Navigation,and Tuner. The mmi already had the aux when i bought it, it came off a 2007 bmw 750i, the ask came off a 2006 750i with a manufactured date of 20051104 which I’m assuming is november,4,2005 . everything works eccept the mode button, when i press it its like it goes into a unknown mode than i have to manually put it into another mode, fm and am works fine. when i plug the aux cable in it does not give me the option to adjust aux volume and i do not have any sound coming from aux.. do you think its a coding issue or ask unit issue? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long story .

no volume option ever for the aux.... radio and all others work. i got the tcu from the same car i got the ask unit and navigation from, which was a 2006 750i.
ok not sure why your talking about TCU when I mention AT TUNER ???
As for the AUX , you have the wrong Ask unit that is not capable of
working with the Aux cable . May I suggest you get an Ask unit from
a late build 07 or 08 .
yea i ment to say tuner typing to fast. yea i figured that i needed a later one, at 1st i was told that i had to get the ask unit with mode and am/fm on the front but i found out after researching that it had to be after a curtain date. so that was a $1500 well spent.., i thought maybe it was just a coding issue i was having for the aux. Thanx for the quick response Paper.
Ok so my door speakers on the driver side has no sound at all. Paper I remember saying in a past thread that it was the ask unit. My driver door speakers and my driver side sub has no sound AT ALL. paper my question is if I replace the ask unit should it be a facelifted one so I can install my aux cable to it? If so should that also be from a late 07/08 model as well. If so would I still have to get it coded to work?
If you read this topic , or even watched the
Videos . You would not be asking me these
Questions .
If your car does not have the Aux feature
Then of course it needs to be coded .
As for should you replace your unit with
A Facelift unit . well that's your decision to
Make . & if you do decide to upgrade it you
Should buy definitely get a late 07 or 08 unit
Well paper in your video u did not mention anything about speakers. It was all on the aux mod. Let's just assume I'm not tech savy, and have no idea of what your talking about. In layman terms....I have to upgrade my ask for my aux to work...correct? I need a new ask anyway because my speakers aren't working...correct? U shouldn't try to make people feel stupid when they ask you questions about something your obviously experienced in.
Ok let's see , You made some STATEMENTS about your speakers not working ...
Then you asked some QUESTIONS .
Here let me post up your questions , I will even quote them ===
" paper my question is if I replace the ask unit should it be a facelifted one so I can install my aux cable to it?
If so should that also be from a late 07/08 model as well.
If so would I still have to get it coded to work? "
Now I was not trying to make you nor anyone look stupid with my reply .
I was simply stating , That had you read the topic or even watched the video's
You would not have had to get in here & ask any questions , As the answer are
already posted in this topic / video's & a hundred other topics on this site in this section .
Also in my reply I gave you the answers to your questions .
" of course it needs to be coded "
" should you replace your unit with
A Facelift unit . well that's your decision to
Make "
For your expertise Paper. Don't want to get something I don't need.
