Herbmiester 931 Report post Posted June 19, 2018 I have a BMW Vics Antenna which I suspect is for Japanese Traffic updates. it is a pain as it the mounting plate is broken and keeps falling off the window. Do I need it in NZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 546 Report post Posted June 20, 2018 No, serves no function in nz. I experimented with using as a Bluetooth antenna (2.4 gigs) for my hands free ulf. But range was poor. Went in the bin shortly after as did the vics module installed in the boot. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbmiester 931 Report post Posted June 20, 2018 Thanks Neal, do you have to do anything with the wiring or just snip it off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 546 Report post Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) For the windscreen end I’d wrap it in tex or cloth tape so it doesn’t rattle and pull it back into the area above the map lights For the trunk module if you have an ibus (e39 and e46) based car it can be unplugged and the car will forget the module. I took the harness out of my e46 loom, but spent hours studying circuit diagrams before doing so. For a fibre based car such as e60 / e90 I’d be inclined to leave the vics module alone.
