Evening all! Hope your all well and having a good weekend So something strange my screen returned and come on… did nothing However I did notice the tv module didn’t load in straight away… when it did I thought cool I’ll see if it works then soon as I did 5 mins in screen goes again… can’t be linked ?

Thanks for that ! Gonna look at the plugs Friday during the day, wherever the break is it’s gotta be minimal. Was thinking like you said match the cables in each end and check with a meter. If I find one that ain’t playing ball ( which could be causing my issue with the video being could always thro...

Check for any sign of water in the electronics module in the rear of the car by the battery. Which version of the sound system is fitted - there are several! - even what engine and production month. It matters as there are multiple modules with different year spans and therefore different looms! It...

Just a quick one, thinking of making a video loom to bypass the factory loom.. is that even possible ? Pretty sure one plug does video on both ends

If anyone had a diagram or key layout of what pin does what on both connectors at both ends I’d much appreciate it

Hello mate yeah I was told by a friend that it may end up being a dash out job ouch.. I was hoping center console would show enough of the wiring so I could see a break Turns out radio I had in. Had a dodgy ribbon. Got a good working one with some dead pixels And the menu would appear then go, seems...

Hey all! Good evening again - so update LCM Is fine, found a issue with ( towing wiring ) causing a the lights to act all funny since disconnected them they are now back to normal ( I’ll have to sort a module out for that ) Lights fixed ! Yay Update with radio Ordered a new mk4 nav unit which arrive...

i shall try that too. worth a go, i mean if it dont flash? and voltage turns out to be incorrect would suggest LCM would be the next thing ill be looking at. What voltage are you getting on the left side? All the pins should show 12V. Are all the bulbs 12V/21W? It’s not unknown for someone to fit 5W...

What voltage are you getting on the left side? All the pins should show 12V. Are all the bulbs 12V/21W? It’s not unknown for someone to fit 5W bulbs instead. i'm going to test this tomorrow after work ~ bulbs are all correct first thing i did haha! thought the same - Starting to think its the LCM b...

This may or may not be of help with the satnav issue, if it's the version that uses a DVD ROM drive......... In my E46, I managed - twice - to kill the laser head in the DVD drive by disconnecting the battery without first ejecting the DVD disc. Because I'm a forgetful sod, after the second replace...

Good evening everyone. I've been playing a game of chase the faults lately with the x5. I thought id come back here and open a new post as people seemed very helpful. Lets start with the radio. So radio works fine. We loose the screen, sometimes it would come back for 5/10 mins then go again. now la...

Hello everyone just adding a reply. Cars fine, injector was issue for start. Glowplugs now also working. seemed a dead batttery brought up the codes. cleared charged and now no issues, tested in cold temp too. started marv. thanks for the help! probs going to need everyones help with another issue i...

If the plugs do show an error after clearing then it needs further investigation. With an Ohmmeter check each plug is showing between 0.2 and 5 Ohms. If less than 0.2 = short circuit. If no resistance reading (infinity) = open circuit. In both cases the plug is faulty. So would there never be an is...

To everyone who’s replied it’s running now ended up being the injector at fault, new one fitted and coded running spot on Wondering if anyone can shed a light on something so it’s got 6x brand new Bosch glowplugs and a brand new hitachi relay from fleebay.. anyway all fitted codes cleared and didn’t...

Could be air still trapped in the system that’s causing a low pressure alarm. Might sound daft, but are all the connectors fully home as well? It wouldn’t be the first time that an electrical connection got overlooked. Diesel is not a conductor so should not affect the function of the glowplugs. No...

Hello everyone. I've recently ran into a little snag with my X5, We had a leaking injector which we suspected was leaking from the copper seal. We proceed to dismantle the car. to get access, removed the pipes to the injector, connections etc managed to remove it replaced the rubber ring, and the co...
