allan 295 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 Way off is it a Japanese import guessing electronic toll collection or similar would require a scan and turned off or pull the fuse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allan 295 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 it appears that it is a device for collecting tolls on Japans roads so guess was correct.

NZ BMW 368 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 If the message is audio, as in the car speaks the warning to you then it's the same as my X5 was. I had the dealer remove the system (or at least disconnect the speaker) as part of the purchase. I realise that's not a solution as such but it means that you can at least have a competent auto electrical person remove it for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a word with the dealer fir BMW here and they said that the only option is to take that mirror off and put a new one in and that would be very expensive so i thing I will leave it like this as there is no sound but thanks anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Omni Carlo 3 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 No Allan, I did that my self as I was going through all possible options in the morning today. They quoted $1600.00 for a new mirror Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 Good on you for finding a solution to the problem. Only my opinion shame on the firm concerned surely they know their own product range isn't that what a dealer ship is all about and then to say it will cost $1600 for a new mirror. Urrr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Omi Hi Omi, How did you find an ETC menu in idrive? I have an NBT system so it may be quite different but i am looking to do the exact same thing. I realise this is a few years old but if you still have any pictures of the menu that would be very helpful. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
