Part 1 Part 2 enjoy .... I sure did

Hold up.. What UART output does your automation controller have ?

It was you who I saw yesterday past burger king constellation... Looking hella fly man. Made my head turn that's for sure. That doesn't happen that often for e30s ! Bloody good effort!

Lol

Just use diodes and a logic level converter to convert the lines from 3 wire to 4. sparkfun.com is your friend. RE: Project. Both .. but not the same as Jochens yes it is isnt it. Have spent a year learning all of this stuff down to bit level and it is truely an amazing system when you get into the nuts and bolts of it all. I have also had a lot of help from Jochen to get started. So credit to him

It's just even parity .. you can do this on a computer EG 9600,8,e,1 not 9600,8,n,1 On top of this Jochen's software and my yet to be annouce product also calculates the checksums in the ibus messages. This is the only two forms of error checking the IBUS and DS2 protocols use.

Hi Guys, I have my BMW OEM e39 16:9 / MK4 Satnav / TV / Intravee II ipod / Reversing Camera system up for sale. I will fire some photos up tonight of everything. Its taken me a long time (and money) to put this system together. I am selling because its surplus to my requirements and I dont need it any more. I'm trying to keep this all together and not part it out at this stage. * e39 16:9 display with cage * MKIV DVD Nav Computer with (latest model with 3d nav and latest software installed) * Radio Module (Japanese) (you can replace this with a BM54 or BM24 for NZ frequencies, I never got around to buying one of these for the 540i) * Intravee II for Ipod with Alpine KCA-420i and all cables is the only true full featured / menu driven onscreen ipod control for BMW e39/e46/x5 16:9 NAV screens. (google it) * 16:9 TV Module (TV in motion restriction removed ) * Boot mounting brackets * e39 reversing camera As my car was pre-wired for this system you would need to get a retrofit loom. These are availible (here) you need to specify if you have the upto 99 plug or the 00 on wards plug. I can help you choose the right one. http://www.bimmernav.com/store/catalog/bmw...s-item-162.html For bimmersporters i'm looking for $2000 firm for the lot which if you where to add this up yourself or to try build it will cost you near 3k second hand. Before the price goes up and it goes on trademe. I would prefer it went to one of you lot! instead of some random. I'm also happy to code the modules once installed if your in Auckland/hamilton areas (not needed to have it running 100% but is a nice to have) Contact me via private message and I will hand out my personal contact details to you to discuss.

Saw this yesterday coming down onto constellation drive... looking fly and s**t Is that yours in the country now ?

As jochen said you'll need to do it in software. The resler is just a max Tft converter. It does some logic level conversion from 12 volt down to serial.

I cant help with a DB9 version sorry. Are you running this on a computer ?

uh oh ... sounds like you have a copycat

Was quite simple after I got going except for my bloody head unit space. For some reason it was tighter than a nun. Anyways, here it is in pictorial form. Pull the unit out like so And remove these screws to get it off the frame. Pull the bottom trim down and outwards. Its a bit of a bitch to do but it needs to be done to remove the stock 16:9 frame. And out she comes with a bit of coaxing So the instructions are pretty much useless at this point. If you fully construct the frame with the middle bridge piece, it just won't go in .. so put it in a 3rd at a time. This is the right hand side installed .. Install the left then bolt in the middle section. Next remove all the trim down the left hand side of the car to lay the loom for rear amp connections. You only need this loom if you have had factory TV. If you just had the MID / controller then your connections are up front. Lucky you. Out comes all the the old stuff. A bunch of stuff thats probably going to be up for sale soon Soooo one of the got yas, the looms came with a mistake ... The ibus control wiring is back to front for the RS485 connectivity. So the white and blue wires are reversed like so. This will allow proper MF steering control via the IBUS -> Dynavin micro controller box (see black box below) ibus 'blackbox' that allows dynavin to talk IBUS protocol and read the OBC stuff. Although I dont think it askes the 'right' questions to the car personally as battery voltage doesnt work on the dynavin OBC So this is where things got really hard .. this thing is NunSpec The dynavin display on my car didnt quite fit as you can see. So I got inventive with the wifes chopping boards and a can of dryglide. Dryglide ftw. In it finally went Trim back together and every looked zen again. I tidied up all of the stuff in the rear properly. Also as a side note, I taped up some of the plugs (usb / arial etc) as cars are a high vibration environment, saves fault finding later Ill do the video up tomorrow. But everything on this thing kicks ass! .. I need to go get a nice 32GB micro SD card to store maps and other larger apps on. The first impressions of the DVB-T / TV unit is great ... digital TV rules.

For anyone attempting this. The cage and dash install isnt as straight forward as first thought. Im glad I have another day tomorrow Learning as I go. Here is a link into the trim removal needed to get the cage in. So of this is a bit obsolete as its an another product, but give the general idea. http://www.bmw-planet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=57

lol yeah ... haven't bought a proper soldering hand yet ... should do actually. anyways .. all done

getting it done..

I hate it when this happens ... I own a face lift car, but the amp wiring is pre-fl ... dam NZ dealers Bit of surgery needed to fit the new loom. Easy enough.

Well I shelled out the $$$ for a new D99 / E39 Android computer. I also purchased the DVB-T box. Its going to take me a few hours ill try document the install a long the way including a half way decent video at the end, Im sick of looking at phone cam or low resolution / out of focus shakey noob cam video on youtube! compulsery carpet shot

Check on the Rieger site who their dealerships are. From memory there is one in aussie.

Enjoy

Using silicon based products is what causes the cloudy and greying in the first place. They last only a few days and are really only good if your needing a quick dirty fix Revive isn't silicon based and is a paint on protectant that was developed for the housing industry for anodised and painted oxidised surfaces that see a lot of weather. You can also use it on interior too. The smell goes after 2/3 days

What are putting your s50b32 into?

The product the pros use is call resene revive. Sold in paint tins.
