Fan engages when locked or unlocked
Im having an potential issue with my X5. Recently Ive had to change the battery, and I wasnt sure why it died all of a sudden. Ive noticed that when I alarm or disarm the alarm via teh remote - it sounds like a fan is coming on in the engine bay. I had a look and it sounds like its coming from the ...

Re: 6500K Angel eye upgrade
They are just your usual sidelights. So off by default and on when you flick the light switch to position 1. In case I have my terminology wrong - Sidelight - lowest setting headlight - used at night Main beam - used when its pitch black at night and no street lighting. I have auto lights on my car ...

Re: 6500K Angel eye upgrade
They were really simple - it was the first time i opened by bonnet on the X5, undo a panel on the back of a light - unplug the bulb and twist it out. Plug in new bulb and twist it in. Put the panel back, do the other side, drop the bonnet - job done. or follow this guy - https://www.youtube.com ...

Re: Help on how to use the iPod connection
I think I'm a bit more clued up on the iPod connection options now. I don't like the Parrot system for iPod control - My wife cant get the hang of it and its just too clunky. Looked at the Intravee and Alpine KCA-420i which will do what I need. Loose the CD changer and have a iPod hidden away in the ...

Re: Titan Grills
they look really good - I think titans a must on the grey or silver. Ive got a black X5, so they probably wouldnt look as good. Ive just ordered some used normal silver surround with black grill's from ebay. Ive got a friend at Jaguar that can spray them for me so overall I was lucky enough to sort ...

Titan Grills
Hi I like the look of the titan grills. Not sure about the bonnet grills, I'll probably keep those black but I'm going to go for the titan's. Does anyone know of a good clone to go for (55 facelift model). I'm going to keep my orginals in case I want to swap them out for a change, but I'd like to ...

Re: 6500K Angel eye upgrade
I got them from the hids direct ebay shop, they were priced at 46 (buy now) but now price has gone back up to 55. They are advertised as 7000K but the box said 6500K. I didnt mind as they are bright enough for me. There were no errors and the fit and fitting was really good. Link to item : http ...

6500K Angel eye upgrade
Thaught I'd share the first upgrade to my X5, I noticed the angel eyes were yellow looking so bought some cree 10W bulbs for 46pounds. This was actually the first time I'd lifted the bonnet and it took me about 5 minutes to swap the bulbs out. Was surprised that 1 bulb did both angel eyes ...

Re: Help on how to use the iPod connection
Hi Colin - cheers. I was being a dumbass - Theres also a Parrot system installed and the ipod connection was for that. I can play the ipod through there but its not great. It uses a small remote dongle for volume control - so its not ideal. I'll go through the aux on the back of the stereo and do it ...

Help on how to use the iPod connection
Hi - Ive recently bought a 55 plate X5 3.0d sport, and was told it had an iPod connection. In the glove box there is a cable which splits into 3 with a head phone jack, USB port and Ipod Cable. I hooked up my iPod 30GB (about 7 years old) with the large connector , I was expecting to be able to ...
