HI I have the orange 4x4 light on the dash. Its been on for many many months. I know it is because the SAS needs recalibration. Ive done this many time in the past using INPA but the error tends to come back after a while so I just leave it. I am about to px the car at a garage as its now done 192k ...

Re: No MID Info

No....It all happened when the battery completely flattened.

AS I say, the display works because it tells me to fasten my seatbelt.

There's just no display regarding temp, cock / date, stopwatch consumption, fuel left etc etc

Re: M.I.D infor missing.

I reckon its the TV module. Radio is displaying all stations and listing the stations OK. One thing I noticed when working in the boot on was that inside the TV module, there is a cooling fan and this constantly starts and stops about one minute intervals. Not sure what this has to do with the MID i...

Re: K-Bus down !!!

I agree but plugged into the battery there is a 4mm plastic drain pipe which leads to outside the car. The pipe had come out of the battery side and so any moisture generated by the battery (whatever that might be) seems to have come out of the hole in the battery side and just run down the battery ...

Re: K-Bus down !!!

Yes I also thought perhaps I had wiggled a wire and remade a connection. But because the TV signal has gone,....I wondered if it was owt to do with the video module. Looking on NewTIS, the vid module is located very close to the battery. When I first removed the battery to take it off the car, there...

Re: K-Bus down !!!

Would you believe it !!! So today, I thought I would rip up the carpets and get the number off the LCM to chase up a replacement. That done and photographed, I thought I'd just have a final look around with BMW scanner. Switch on ignition, start scanning,. . . almost towards the end of the first pag...
