No, it works as per the OEM one and turns the rears off, you also get any warnings via the dash display as the module is all linked via the canbus. Have a look at the site below, English company and very knowledgeable and helpful, can't recommend them enough http://www.rightconnections.co.uk/towing ...

I fitted a removable bar to my M sport, no bumper cutting required, I fitted the dedicated wiring (plug and play) and it all works great, cost was around £300 all in. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vertical-Detach-Towbar-7p-Electrics-for-BMW-X5-SUV-F15-4WD-13-on-06028-VM-H2-/111736333298?hash= ...

It was in for the films to be fitted on the doors and seals and have the rear bumper replaced, I wish it would just stay on then at least BMW could find out what is happening atm they won't accept there is a problem.

Hi Richard Its very strange as all those warning lights stay illuminated while driving, the service indicator on idrive doesn't work while in this state and neither the check control, the service indicator on the clocks reads 0000 & 00/00/00, the idrive screen goes dim and no lights illuminate in ...

I have the following lights come up every few months, once i stop the car and lock it up they clear, anyone got any ideas, the car went into BMW but no codes had been logged.

It should just play, if the dvd screen appears with the controls then its having problems reading the disc, it doesn't like some writable discs

For E90's e90 post is great, lots of good guys on the uk site

Admittedly he is not the best driver and I have a racing past as well the 4.0d is remapped, yes the cars are massively different and on a track the M3 would leave the X5 for dust but on our english lanes with their uneven surfaces the M3 is not the most forgiving so you can't drive it 100%, I owned ...

I do find the M sport suspension hard and have never drove a SE so can't comment however when I do feel the need it amazes me how it handles for a 2 ton vehicle, I came from a modded 335D and a E92 M3 before that so used to hard rides and good handling cars, my friend still has his M3 and has ...

The standard system uses gprs which is painfully slow, you can code it to tether to you phone and use whatever connection you have on that, personally other than a gimmick I don't really see the point its a lot faster just to look on your phone

Mine is rubbish in London, I have had my diversity box changed over and its no better apart from my FM is now worse >:( once i've finished doing my own upgrades I'm going to look at it myself, can someone confirm that the aerials in the rear windows and also where are the amplifiers or are they ...

If you get a software update on CIC then you will need activation FSC codes for things like apps which are not cheap, my advice would be don't have the update unless you really need it!

I have v49 if you have no luck let me know and I'll see if I can host them somewhere for you to download

Ok heres where I'm at, I have 6NF working which is nice but I having trouble with the Connected drive as I can't get the menu to appear so don't know if I need a FSC or not ATM.

I'll keep you updated

So CCC Idrive, yes it is difficult and expensive for OEM, the reason I asked your date as some later CIC units already have DAB so you only need a cable and new diversity unit.
