Read here how to remove the seat.. Those connector I don't know for what is it for also..

 

Thanks for the link. The bolts on my E60 are directly behind the seatbelt locks. I'm trying it now.

 

FYI when I route the wire from trunk to the backseat I taped the wire with the wire hanger and feed it through the back seat. Hope that helps

 

Thanks for the suggestions and tips

Sorry posted at wrong board

 

I have been reading this thread for quite sometime now. I recently bought a 2009 E61 with all the options available for that year except for Active Cruise Control and Night Vision.

Options that are applicable here are
PDC, Logic7 HiFi, USB/AUX input with iPod/USB adaptor, HD Radio & SIRIUS, BMW Navigation with Voice Command/Real-time traffic.

Could someone suggest me on what I need to get to do this CIC retrofit. The CCC looks very outdated so does the DVD based navi.

thanks in advance

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks

 

I see there's still some action in this thread so I might as well post here to see if there's any interest.

I bought all of the actual CIC retrofit gear that schpenxel (OP) used in this tutorial after he got rid of his 5-series. With the help of this thread I was up and running pretty quickly in my '07 550i. Now, a few years later, I'm getting rid of my car too. I have everything from this tutorial thread for sale (CIC, CID, Combox, iDrive Knob, USB Port, A/V Port, Wires, etc.). Again, to be clear, I have the actual exact hardware pictured all throughout this thread that I bought from the original poster when he sold it. The only piece I no longer have is the emulator, which can be found online for ~$40.

I'll have them up on eBay soon but I'd much rather sell to one of you good like-minded folks from Bimmerfest. If you're interested, PM me and we can discuss details.

 

Anyone know if I can have the firmware flashed via ICOM or OPs Head while i have an emulator connected or do i need to remove it first?

 

Can anyone help me....

My wiring on the car is as follows (car had TCU only before):

1 yellow
3 blue
15 red/black
17 red / yellow
19 black
21 clear
31 light grey
33 yellow
36 brown
37 yellow / white
38 white / blue
46 green
50 blue / grey

Seems to be different to everyone elses?

I have power there as the optical comes on when plugged in, but Tool32 says cant find the combox.

 

does anyone know if the head unit would need to be out of a M5 or can it just be any 2010 5 series? I have 07 M5 want to make sure I dont lose M mode

 

I've successfully retrofitted/coded CIC in my '08 X5, so I'll offer my $.02.
I don't believe the CIC has to come from an M5. It may not even have to come from a 5 series. When you code the new CIC you will have to change the build date in the VO. NCSExpert will code the CIC with the display features an M5 with that build date would have. These features may or may not be different from what you currently have with the CCC.

 

Hi guys,

I have sucessefully retrofited CIC on my BMW 535d from 2004. Everything works fine except a warning messages related with microfilter service that appears everytime I start the car. In CIC, under car status, I have 2 messages without any text. One is the DPF and the other one is about microfilter. Anyone knows how to disable this message ??? I have searched and saw something related with services on KOMBI module.

Thanks.

 

Have a quick question, does the multimedia options list (for example Logic 7, HD/SAT tuner, Professional navigation) from the donor vehicle must match with yours to do this retrofit from CCC to CIC or those options can be coded in at the time of installation? Also what is the proper version of CIC that allows BMW online and BMW apps without buying the license?

thanks

Anyone selling a combox with E60 plug in play harness ??

For anyone that has done a retrofit--is there any reason to keep the CCC? i am thinking of selling it, but I had heard I may need it to have the car programmed. In reality, this car is a bit old, what programming would it need? If i get a new transmission or something, would the lack of a CCC prevent it from being worked on?

I cannot find those old threads....

Don't worry about it. When they say that they mean like if your configuration string remains with CCC and it would plug into the dealer computer it may try to program CCC and not find it and fail but that's all non relevant. First you can edit that and put in the SA code for CIC and never have to worry about this again. WinKFP yourself is the other option.

 

need to update VO for this retrofit

I just tried retrofitting CIC in my 09'E61 (fully loaded) that came with $6VB option (CCC with updated iDrive controller) and many more (see list of options for both vechicles attached). I also have an emulator to activate navigation and voice control. THe donor CIC is from a 2010 E60 535xi. I just followed CIC retrofit guide and updated VO in CAS and LMA with #0909 and $6VA and checked them again and are udpated.

At first, the cic started up and my navigation is locked to the donor vechicle's locaiton in east coast, probably this might be fixed by driving the car around. Then there is no audio and I dont have my logic 7 settings anymore in settings (because the donor one has only HiFi speaker system 676 vs my HiFi system professional DSP 677), voice control doesnt work (nothing happens when I press voice button on the steering), passenger climate control doesnt work.

I am probably missing more features that I havent checked/tested for. For now I swtiched back to original setup. Before I retry again, could someone give me the proper VO update string that I have to do to get this functioning properly.

thanks in advance for your time.

 

Did you make the changes needed for your special requirements (not the simple case) in the VO and save them.. Its been a while since I did this but i had a couple changes in VO that related to the sound and then had to run through module reset in the same order they appear in the system....not sure this is much help but its a shot...good luck
I learned I had to reset a couple times...saving each backup....and the order was important. Also, you have to allow the car to shutdown completely...power off for at least 10 min.

thanks for your reply. Could you elaborate on this as your memory permits?

and about this as well?? by reset you mean resetting CIC by pressing the volume knob ?25sec?

thanks

 

You did not finish your coding, you just edited the VO but you didnt code the cic thats why there were no changes

 

Sorry, forgot to mention about that. After updating the VO in both CAS and LMA, still I was not able to see CIC, I can only see CCC even the FA shows updated fields. I followed this procedure.

I will giv eit a try by removing 6VB while having 6VA in there.

 

You cant have two at the same time, it will not work, just $6VA
$6VB is only if you have CCC with CIC controller

 

I thought about that at the end of the day and I had CCC back int he car by then and didnt feel like removing it again at that time. Will definitely try it this weekend.

thanks,

 

No, it means to reset using INPA...just have it run through each program in each of the modules - I think there are 4 or 5 of them as I recall. I think the reset you are referring to is really a restart or boot. What I am referring to is actual run through on the coding. It realigns these these like KOMBI and others to ensure they are coded to work together...kind of resync. This is the finishing of your coding....along with the 10 plus min to allow the system to shutdown and put things in a safe configuration.

 

Apart from resetting transmission adaptions using INPA, never used INPA to reset modules. Will check into this though, meanwhile if you can remember what modules you did a reset on using INPA, would relaly appreciate.

thanks

 

i just finished my CIC upgrade in the e61. everything is working fine. i need to do a quick coding thing to get Night Vision working again. i have swapped the wires, but forgot to change the code for it.

the only thing that is odd, is that the steering wheel buttons on the right side do not seem to work as i think they should. i know that on CIC machines the top button(diamond icon) is to switch between sources, this is not occurring. it really seems to be doing nothing. is there another module i need to code? also the track forward/track backwards buttons are backwards. to go to the next song i have to click the down arrow, to start a song again i click the up arrow. the opposite of what it was with the CCC. the lane departure button is working as it should, so not all of the buttons on the ride of the steering wheel are misbehaving.

i also upgraded the drive in the CIC to a 256GB SSD,

is there a list of modules that i should also update after this upgrade?

Thank You,

G~

I believe that button is programmable, so maybe it's not programmed to do anything. You should be able to set what that button does through the menu.
