What Sanj says and also the BMW Navigation Buyer Guide, for example the one found here.

I did that thing to connect 7 and 8 on the bmw scanner, didn't help, yes it is connected to my VM.
Then I also have the other cable with INPA that runs on my Windows 7 64 bits and also that one doesn't find my car.

Doesn't do anything, I'm not able to read with bmw scanner or INPA.
I'll take the battery off tomorrow.
I've been checking my K-line on the OBD2 with the multimeter but I am not sure if it is correct or not.
There is a bit over 12V on pin 16 (battery), and there is a little under 12V on pin 8 (k ...

Hello,
I have the "level suspension inactive" message in my instrument cluster.
So I went to look for a reader to find out more about this problem.

I started with the well known BMW scanner thing from China: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221402098403
But even though I got it working under XP virtual ...

If that was the Bluetooth antenna, it's supposed to be on top on those 2 screws sticking out.
Also the Bluetooth antenna uses very thin RG-174 coax cable with a FAKRA plug.

Doesn't look like anything that I have in my car.
Do you have any phone option installed at the moment?
I used the instructions on bimmernav.

Think I bought a broken radio because it just rarely powers on.  ::)
Checked the fuse and that looks fine.

Hi,

I am going from bm24 to bm54 to make my MKIV and 16:9 setup complete.
Today the last piece of the puzzle, the adapter harness arrived.
When I connected everything and powered on the car, there was no sound.
Also all radio info is totally missing. I cannot select any source like CD, Tape or AUX ...

I ended up replacing the mechanism first with a used one that closed easier, but still didn't close when shutting the tailgate. So I put some washers behind it and now it's closing as it should.

Although I could probably have adjusted the number 9 part, this would only be a temporary solution ...

I've gotten the whole thing to work, with my BB Q10.
My ULF module is the oldest first generation, 84 21 6 934 552, but everything seems to work initially.
Took IBus from the CD player (for now).
Paired, transferred numbers and made a call.
Don't seem to need the SES plug, however sound quality is ...

I'm using this website:

At the moment I'm having some trouble, don't know if you will run in to the same ;)
My car was fitted with the Motorola V, SA 629 ancient GSM system.

- Going from DB 25 to the ULF 54 using the adapter ...

Thank you Richard, it's indeed about the lower section.
I have tried lubrication, if I press it really hard manually using a screwdriver it will click/lock (with the tailgate open), but not by the normal way of closing the tailgate. It will open just fine when I press the button so I think the cable ...

I noticed while closing the lid, only the left side really locks.
When you pull on the right side of the lid it will open up a little bit, from the inside you can see through a hole that the mechanism is not fully locked and still moving when you pull.

The part seems to be nr 4 below, 51 24 8 408 ...

If you really want to know if your battery is broken... measure the Voltage level...
I replaced mine a month ago with the Bosch S5 019 100Ah.

You can see the Voltage through the instrument cluster (search Youtube for a video).
Or connect a multimeter to the battery.
The battery is under the spare ...

Thank you for your very clear explanation! :bigthanx:
This is certainly I can use for making a decision.
At the moment my failing bm24 radio is very annoying.  :rant:
