Mediabridge with Bluetooth will stream your music from a Droid phone. Plus it will give you handsfree calling. PM me if your are interested in knowing more or getting one.

I'm in Browns Bay and have a scanner for the e39 5 series, with both OBDC connectors. PM me if you want a hand.

Hi 3 Series, just PMed you re a solution for Andriod devices...

I may be interested in purchasing them....

I have a 1.4.0 unit and it works well....IMO it's a bit more versatile than the peak device.

If its the gent I know, he used it to tow his boat which was a fairly heavy aluminium cat, and the Suburban has the highest towing capacity. I think the engine is a diesel though.

Hi Andrew, I've pm'ed you regarding the Navcoder help.

The Display is call a Board Monitor and yes it is fairly easy to swap out with a larger screen version with some caveats. The car may have the older Video/TV module that only supports the 4:3 display so you would need to replace that out too. Plus depending on the build date of the car you may loose some of the minor functions such as the ability to choose "scan" or "preset" channel changing via the Steering Wheel up/down buttons. When I did the change out on my YOM '96 E39 540 I ended up keeping the small fomat screen just to do the changes. There are plenty of resource on the web and here in bimmersport, just search boardmonitor

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for 20-30 minutes and the reconnecting it? If the fault returns with the battery reconnected you've got a fuse or module fault, if it isn't, it was just a software hiccup

Thanks

Same as Hotwire, straight into the park lights and remove the park lamp. I've had no problem with wof

FM-RDS-PRO from AudiovoxDice will work in your car. All the control of the music will be from the iPod/iPhone but with Track ID on the radio display. www.gadgets4u.co.nz

Classic, LMAO

I'll be in for one of those too.

Thanks Ron, Didn't find the date codes but running 2.5 front & back. I'll drop them to what you've recommended and try.
