Bluetooth Pairing has scrambled the Computer
Hi there, I got a new phone (Samsung S9+) last week so decided to pair it with the car (E53 2005), as I have done with previous 2 phones. It took a few attempts, as usual, but eventually got the code request and paired it. However after pairing, the radio started switching on and off randomly, none ...

Tried changing ...

Re: Fault scanner / change car settings
I bought the Scanner 1.4 a while back.
Works fine.
Used it to get the Webasto heater working on the built in timer. Alarm to chirp going on and off. TV to work when moving, although this is pointless as the reception isn't good enough.
Track down faulty PDC sensors, plus a few other things.

Re: Parking Sensor System
Right hand side of the boot, in behind the fuse/relay box I think.

Re: E53 FACELIFT BUMPER REMOVAL
The straight ones are the centre 2 (and all 4 of the rear ones) and the angled ones are at the ends.

Re: E53 FACELIFT BUMPER REMOVAL
At the risk of sounding a bit like countdown, there are 2 from the front and 3 from the back.

Re: SatNav Head unit Display
Thanks guys,
it would appear to be something loose in the head unit. Took it out, had a look, reseated everything, put it back and it's working again, don't know how long for though

SatNav Head unit Display
Hi all, I've got a problem with the display screen (16:9)for the SatNav etc. It is constantly scrolling diagonally, it looks a bit like an old TV when you needed to adjust the vertical or horizontal hold. Is this repairable? If so does anyone have contact details for a repairer? If not is it worth ...

Re: Wind Deflectors?
Thanks for the replies guys, I was beginning to get a bit paranoid. Jaynana C.D. is an aerodynamic property, but it is only one small area that measures the resistance of the vehicle to movement through the air and compares it with that of a similarly sized block. The drumming I am on about is ...

Re: Wind Deflectors?
Pretty sure it has everything to do with aerodynamics Jayana ;) Given that there is no drumming when the car is stationary and it increases with speed, until at about 60 mph the vibrations actually hurt your ear drums. You are talking about Coefficient of Drag, which is how "slippery" it is and is ...

Wind Deflectors?
Hi All, There's a very noticeable "drumming" effect when I open any of the windows at anything above about 40MPH. I know the X5 isn't the most aerodynamic of cars, but I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. Any way, I want to fit some wind deflectors to try and get rid of, or at least reduce the ...
