This is great! Thanks!

So do i burn the ENTD_000002E8_001_014_001 to the root of a DVD or the Gracenote 2014 folder to the root of a dvd?

guillaume.db · Jul 1, 2014

ENTD_000002E8_001_014_001 is the name/root of DVD

shawnsheridan · Jul 1, 2014

No. Write the Content.xml file and the Gracenote folder to DVD.

nabego · Jul 1, 2014

Is it for?

shawnsheridan · Jul 1, 2014

What?

nabego · Jul 1, 2014

not for serving this dvd?

shawnsheridan · Jul 1, 2014

Sorry. I do not understand what you ask.

nabego · Jul 1, 2014

I do not understand what you say in this post about this: Last Update for BMW CIC Grace-note 2014

shawnsheridan · Jul 1, 2014

This is the latest release of the Gracenote, formerly called CDDB, Database for CIC Head Units:

Thanks for the link, was able on my 05-12 built to bring GNDB from 2-11 (?????) to 1-14.

Was actually surprised to see a Feb 2011 GNDB in a May 2012 built car but hey, the CIC had to be made earlier than the car...

BTW, do you know if there's a way to remove the Service Info menu, other than Code the HU_CIC ?

shawnsheridan · Jul 5, 2014

I think after car goes fully to sleep, and CIC reboots, it will be off again.

335i_4D · Jul 5, 2014

Yep, exactly.
Doesn't show anymore on my Settings menu.

335i_4D · Jul 5, 2014

Thanks Shawn, as always.

I'll check this in a couple of hours, while washing the car !

DBV · Jul 5, 2014

Sorry if a dumb question, but I have a a 2014 328d that I purchased in April. Should I update the Grace-note database and if so what will that change and what will be the advantage? Thanks and again sorry for not knowing the answer.

shawnsheridan · Jul 5, 2014

The Gracenote database provides album artist and track info, and in the case of newer NBT Head Unit, album art as well.

If you have a 2014 F30 though, you should have NBT Head Unit, in which case this update will not work for you as it is for CIC Head Unit only. The 2014 NBT version has not been released yet.

nolonyc · Jul 6, 2014

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before. I have a NBT head unit and I was browsing and noticed these:
HU_NBT>3000>ENT_GRACENOTE_INSTALLED
HU_NBT>3000>ENT_GRACENOTE_USB
HU_NBT>3000>ENT_GRACENOTE_MLT
HU_NBT>3000>ENT_GRACENOTE_SERVICE

Maybe someone interested in could look into these.

RomeoOscar · Jul 5, 2014

Thanks for the link! Worked perfectly!

Hi there,

maybe I'm a little slow here... I can't find the actual Gracenote file (which should be some GB of size!) - just the torrent file and the instructions.

What am I missing??

shawnsheridan · Jul 5, 2014

Umm...what exactly do you think the .torrent file is for?

You use the .torrrent file to download the actual GRACENOTE-DB VERS. 1.0, 01_2014 1 database.

shawnsheridan · Jul 6, 2014

Gracenote should be enabled on all CIC and NBT Head Units by default.

So, what is the reason to look into these? I don't understand.

buckeyewalt · Jul 7, 2014

Guys, I have got to be the slow one here, sorry. Anyway, having a new 2014 X5, I don't think that this update will apply to me. Correct me if I am wrong! And hoe do you tell what kind of headunit you have?

That said, if Gracenote is already installed on newer vehicles, then why is it not displaying atrists when music is played via cd? Even if your radio is not turned to an HD channel, should it still display artists and or album cover??

I guess generally confused on what Gracenote can or cannot do!

shawnsheridan · Jul 7, 2014

You 2014 F15 will have NBT Head Unit, and you are correct, this update for CIC Head Unit will not work for you.

buckeyewalt · Jul 7, 2014

Thanks for trying to educate me!:thumbup:
