brought a new towbar for 2003 e39 touring from towright in christchurch delivered overnight for $300 total to the north island,bolts and towball inc fitted in a couple of hours with only a drill ,(2 holes in spare wheel well) and socketset and slight cut to bottom of rear apron Big ups to them.great bar cheap price and fitted perfectly.

jvc kdr 905 and 805 both have adjustable lighting,got bluetooth as well i'm basically looking for: rear or rear+front usb or an SD card slot direct control for ipod lights that aren't blue or are adjustable. i've basically come down to the pioneer deh-4250 (sd card slot, red lights), JVC KD-R716 (front and rear USB, but hideous bright blue lights) or JVC KD-616 (adjustable lights so can match them but no SD card slot or rear USB). basically i'm not keen on a front USB because i don't want a cable hanging over my dash, i'm guessing everything's gone front USB these days thanks to iphones etc and having an SD card slot means i could just load up a card with music and leave it in there with no fluffing about plugging in ipods etc. anyone know of any other units that might suit?

thanks jochen you were correct regarding the light and 15mins,I will wait till weather clears and can leave window open to check the fan goes off as well, not sure what causes car to wake up randomly unless im bumping key remote accidently in pocket but that should resleep again I would have thought so will monitor this further not sure why satnav needs disk access when car is off but will remove the disk and monitor the traffic as suggested

2003 525 model jap import Why is the transmission park light on 24/7 when not going is this alarm related? why is there a faint fan/electrical noise coming from inside aircon dash controls area when key is off,all buttons are dead but something is going still? japanese satnav dvd spins/grinds away 24/7 in boot when disk is in,(not thats it useful anyway but why when key is off?) do e39s have an alarm,manual describes one,how do you check possible gremlin have noticed few random times now that after locking car and returning later interior lights and satscreen are on, (went off when locking as expected)screen is grey and shows clock only,unlocking and relocking with remote fixes lights but screen stays on unless ignition is turned on and off again,

looking for a universal garage door remote please, euro version prefered but anything in a pinch

why did I not think of that cheers Actually in the wagon there is a much larger version of a similar looking audio video plug sitting bare under the floor just behind the radio, any ideas what this is for

Im trying to add a reverse camera trigger to pin 17 of the audio video module and also hook up the camera feed to the inputs, is this 61-13-0-005-197 the correct part for the pins and are they availably locally,can they be ordered from bmw directly or is ther something local available cheaply from computer parts or the like

fantastic information,great help thanks,camera is supposed to be ntsc,

after viewing many reverse camera install retrofit diagrams Ive fitted an aftermarket reverse camera to an e39 wagon but have suddenly realised when going to fit the relay for 12v+ reverse wiring trigger that the reverse lights are actually in the tailgate. DOH,,Is there anywhere in the RH rear of car (video module corner) that I could tap into the reverse signal,cant find where the tailgate light wires go once they enter the roof space above the rear roof speakers but suspect they dont return to the rear of the car. other option is to fit the relay inside the tailgate itself next to camera and extent the video module reverse ground trigger pin17 back into the tailgate and relay anyone with any wiring circuits that show access to the reverse light signal 12v+ Ive also read confusingly that the reverse signal polls for bulb failure and would connecting a relay upset this or possible cause video signal dropouts

not sure if compatible with other models or sedans but looking for touring e39 please

Hi can anyone confirm towbars are the same for sedans or touring or perhaps same across different model tourings. see a lot of 2nd bars around on trademe etc but not sure how suitable they would be

never met or dealt with Ray but when asked Ray about a replacement door barrell damaged by vandals trying to break in and he found and sent me one to Hawkes Bay,no charge,no freight. Amazing Service and will be recommending to anyone Big Ups to you Ray Much Appreciated Cheers
