Is it a straight plug and play swap over from older and newer unit with improved quality even with the CCC screen?
I think the CIC version has more pins :(

Upgrade reversing camera?

Hi,

Has anyone upgraded the reversing camera on a CCC system?
It is next to useless at night.

I wondered if there was an aftermarket drop in replacement?

Cheers

Re: Replacement 10.25" screen, with built-in Android!

Have you got a Wifi Hotpsot setup? Never tried it myself....
Only used the USB cable.

Audio magically comes through as "line-in",no extra cable required. But I have CCC, not CIC :(
CANBUS should carry it, some people have had luck...others not..

Umbrella to fit in the 7 seater

Hi all,

Bit mundane I know...
But does anyone know what decent umbrella fits in the 87cm space in the boot?

Assuming that's what that space is for....  :)

Re: Tailgate doesn’t sound usual bmw quality

I have the non powered version too. Doesn't sound too bad....
What does yours sound like?
Maybe your struts are worn?

I seem to be getting about 16MPG in my 3.0SD. But I am mainly doing 2-5 miles journeys at the moment.  :-[

Re: Very noisy blowers on x5 40d

[quote="asoni"] I've had FSR issues in the past on E46's and am familiar with the symptoms which (as far as I know) were things like blower randomly blowing fast/slow or hot/cold by itself. I've never had issues with the blowers making a loud motor/screeching type of noise when the FSR was faulty so ...

Re: Basic Audio upgrade

Awesome!! Let us know how it goes!
Are the amps a direct swap? Or is there much cable splicing to be done?

Re: X5 E70 Body Face lift ? UPGRADES ?

Been thinking the same......
Maybe at the very least colour coded trim!
Also check out, the "Aero kits"  kits on ebay.
Isn't going to work out cheap though :(

Re: Driving in sport mode

[quote="Barroni"] Silly question perhaps. Is sport mode exclusive to the M-Sport or an added option? and not available on the SE? **Assume you refer to manual, was checking if there was a super duper sport button :o)** [/quote] It's on the SE too. Push the stick to the left. Moves it to Sport/Manual ...
