Thanks to the Viewers - 1000 Subscriber and Busy 2024!
I am making this video to thank all of you for helping me reach the 1000 subscribers milestone. As you see, I’m doing these videos purely out of hobby. I started the channel during the COVID-19 when we were having a lot of free time at home. Now, my workload has resumed, so I am having less free time than before. This is the main reason why I had published only 12 videos in 2023. I am feeling sorry for this because I really want to stay with my project and see you as often as possible on RUclips. In addition to my workload , I am becoming a father in next January, I need to pass two examinations on my work, I have to get another drivers license for my career, so I am expecting a very busy...

I did not do that last DSC step. Is that why my pedal still touches the floor? I was a bit confused with that procedure.
I did not leave any air bubbles nor have leaks.
Hi gabby, the activation of DSC pump is to remove air bubbles in the DSC module (there are many valves to regulate hydraulic pressure for the brakes.) I don't think you have to do this procedure every time unless your brake system is used heavily. And I don't think it is related to the pedal touching the floor. Did your pedal touch the floor before the service? If so I guess the pedal mechanism needs to be checked.
@@funcarsgoodpeople yes it touched before and I change brake pads, rotors and fluid. Also made sure no bubbles or leaks were detected
非常棒且非常詳細的影片,期待後續後鏡頭的安裝分享!
謝謝你!kh,很高興受到你的肯定!今年我當了新手爸爸,實在是太忙了。我也希望能再度有時間來DIY還有製作影片...
I followed through and got everything installed but the idrive menu has the cd option greyed out so I can’t select it. I do have the also have the 6CD player from the factory just like the one shown in the video.
Hello Gavin, do you think it’s a device conflict on the MOST circuit? I guess the interface cannot exist with the CD changer at the same time. Please disconnect the CDC and bypass its MOST connector with the bypass loop. Let me know if it helps!
@@funcarsgoodpeople After looking into it a little more the 6CD player I was referring to earlier is actually just the single disc + AM/FM player. My VIN indicates that the car should come with an actual CHANGER, but it is not in the allocated space or the trunk. I’m hoping that the car is already coded for CDC and the previous owner just removed the changer for some reason. If I can find the fiber optic that would have gone to the missing CDC and loop it should that fix the problem? Also the SAT unit in the trunk was also looped by the previous owner for some reason I’m not sure if that’s related though. And thanks for replying so quickly!
Hi Gavin, please refer to my other video about removing the CDC: ruclips.net/video/RhKOkYNZ65M/видео.html I talked about the location of the hub of the fiber optics and you can look into your to see what had been done to it. I believe your SAT was bypassed due to some malfunction. If there is still sound coming out of the speakers, the MOST circuit should be intact and you don't have to fix anything, just install the interface as I did. Like you mentioned that the car better have the CDC still coded in. (I think average shops don't do coding after bypassing CDC or SAT.)
If my MULF2 module is broken (cant connect Bluetooth) can i install this things?
The MULF is on the MOST circuit. A broken MULF may break the MOST circuit and there will be no audio. In this case the Mr12volt interface will not be able to play any sound. You will have to bypass the MULF 🤗

Would this work on my e92 ? 328i?
Hello Ken, the general flow is same but the engine is different. Please carefully check the required oil type and quantity for your engine. Let me know if you have any questions about your oil change!
Would this work with a right hand drive (UK) i3?
Hello dopiaza I think yes because the decoder is independent of driver side. However, I heard some i3 with small screen is not compatible. So please carefully check the product information and your model year!
Great tutorial. Will this work on my 2013 E92 which does not have a CD changer? Only a single CC slot at the front? Also is there a chance to keep the existing microphone? What happens if I want to make calls like before the Mr12Volts, from the regular idrive?
Hello Tefkros, thank you for the comments! You will need to code a CD changer to the car so the MOST system can take signal from the interface. Please refer to my other video about "removing" the CD changer: ruclips.net/video/RhKOkYNZ65M/видео.html Actually I installed the interface after I coded out the CDC. I am wondering why it still works. Yes you can leave the original mic as it is and place the additional mic anywhere you like. Thus just pair the iDrive via Bluetooth (as hands-free device) and connect the phone via USB or WiFi (for music streaming). The phone calls will automatically be handed to iDrive (per Mr12volt official description)

Hey Carl! How can I figure out to have the full screen. Right now is only half screen? Thanks for your help
Hello NJ, I got similar question earlier about the screen setting. The reply by Mr12volt is just play around with the DIP switches for different settings and see which works for your screen. If not working, I'd guess the LVDS cable may not be well connected. Please use the default setting on the DIP switch and then check the harnesses for display signals.
Thanks
Is the zigarett lighter under the passanger side on terminal 30g?
Hello Sven, for E9x it’s on terminal 15, which supplies power when the IGNITION is switched ON. All the cigarette lighter and charging sockets are supplied via fuse F30 on terminal 15.
I got an f30 and when i turn the car off it still got 12v
Hi Sven, I just checked the wiring diagram of cigarette lighter for F30. They are supplied by terminal 30B (same as 30g.) So when the power supply for the cigarette lighter will go off after some time the car is turned off.
we ask for many more videos like this !
Thank you my friend! My honor 😇
Thanks for creating a great DIY installation video and review. Very helpful.

Carl, if I am allowed, how important is to have 25 and 7 pins connected through that connector (min 26:37 ), negativ or ground of the heating control module and ground of switch of the controller? Can we just earth them 2 to the ground of the car? My 2005 bimmer doea not have pin 25 and 7 available and I cannot find any other available devices connected through that connector x14272 or A4010.. with options to ground 2 wires?. In a mean time, I only can find good words for you. I completely loved the Enginner crip tool. Not a single fail in crimping those small terminals! Absolute briliant tool for the money!! As well i do not know how you could find 0.75 mm square cable with insulation slim enogh to accomodate the insulation, the terminal amd the cable in those plugs. Not an eaay job. I find silicon multi stranded cable but they were a bit to thick...
Hello SD, in fact, I also grounded that two wires to the earth point below the passengers foot well carpet. I did so because I mistook the X14272 connector and there was no space for me either. But I can guarantee you that the method I showed in the video is exactly the same as the original wiring diagram. I believe your car has some other modules that is occupying these two pins. Don’t worry about it 👌🏻 And for the small gauge wire. I sourced them from anotherparted E92. If you can find a whole bundle of wiring harnesses for the iDrive head unit. Just get them and you will have a plenty gauges of original wires available. Thank you for the feedback. I am very happy. My video is helpful for your project. 🤗
@@funcarsgoodpeople your project is a bless for those who are interested to make the modification. Don't take to heart any critics. Some might be constructive.. but some, you don't know what's really behind them because no one take their time to explain. Your videos (all three) regarding electrical fuse board modifications are extremely well done! And this is coming from a hand on tools and with knowledge in fault finding qualified electrician. I will connect them 2 wires to the negative somewhere near the fuse board at dedicated point of connection. It is a bless to work with that Engineer Crimp tool! I probably said I managed to find 1mm cross section silicon insulation multi-stranded cable (with literally hundreds of wires in the core..) very specific use in cars wiring system. I stripped down the insulation just before the crimped terminal entry into the connector case... and put a heat-shrink (having a thinner insulation wall..) over it then pushed the pins inside careful. The other similar cable roll that I had was 0.5 square mm.. which was a bit to thin for 5A I was thinking, with almost the same diameter as 1mm.. Bye the way, I found out that the current pushed in the resistive side of the wheel is PWM, pulse width modulated.. Thank you again for your quick reply! Have a nice day!
Thank you! SD your work sounds so delicate! Could you please share some photos of your work? I also found a tutorial manual about crimping. Maybe you would like to read it too 🤗 Please drop me an email to funcarsgoodpeople@gmail.com
Hey Carl, did you have any issues running your AC? My AC not blowing any cold air at all?
Hi Dr2ny2nj, I had this once long ago. Please check the dial position on that parking light switch cluster in the middle of the center air vent trim. People inadvertently turn it to the red side so the car sends hot air only 😅 Please also check the connection of this switch cluster 🤗 I think the AC normally doesn’t get affected in this installation 👌🏻
Thank you! Also, which screen did you replace the OEM with?
Forgot to mention that I am doing this on my E64 04 645CI
Hello doc I was looking for the interface with MOST (fiber optics) integration. However there was no such models with modern LCD display and MOST integration. So I’m still using the OE display that I’ve complained about in the video. Your 645Ci should have the same iDrive system as mine. You have a plenty choices for the upgrade 🤗
I try two different ones but for some reason the AC doesn’t work with them. I am in Florida and need AC desperately. 😂. There is one harness that stay unplugged and I think that’s where the AC is control cause the AC works with the MR12volts. Thanks for all your help
I have one can you help me ,.
Hello Tycho yes what’s the question? You can also send to my email: funcarsgoodpeople@gmail.com
@@funcarsgoodpeople I got a media interface for the e90 but man Idk how and where to start I got a guide but yeah I dont get it realy
I see. make sure you have all the parts required. The installation of all the interfaces are pretty much the same as shown in this video. just go ahead and pop open your dashboard trim. You will begin to have ideas about it. 🤗
Hello ,is that the original terminal 15 behind the fusebox ? i have a problem ,if i press on my start button for ignition on ,then it goes on but after 1second iginition falls out ! So i have to push again on the start button to put the ignition on. Bmw e90 lci
Hello Ben first of all I strongly recommend you to read the fault codes with diagnostic tool such as OBD2 scanner. The fault codes are super helpful in troubleshooting. I guess you can start the car and keep it running without other problems. if so, I think there’s nothing wrong with terminal 15. I feel like the ignition/terminal 15 is turned off by other modules. For example, the power management system will regulate the availability of electricity when it thinks the battery is low. If you had replaced a new battery. Please register the battery to tell the car about full battery so previous problems won’t be stored in the memory and thus hindering normal operations. But like I said, the fault codes are going to tell us about the car in great detail. Let’s find it out!
(Please see my updated reply)
@@funcarsgoodpeople hi ,I read the fault codes but not with ista.With Some basic obd2 scanner.But no faults on that. The problem is ,I put the key in and then i press the start button for ignition to go on ,so normally all the lights on dashboard go on ,but sometimes it Goes on but immediately it falls back out ! Then i have to press again and it stays on.Not a big deal but Imagine one day it Will not go on anymore ! So I was thinking that maybe there is a relay that is not always working…you say the relay or terminal 15 relay is integrated in the fusebox ..so then if you want to change that ,you need to change the whole fusebox ?
And if you change the fusebox …can you take one from the gravejard ? From the same engine and type car ,and put your fuses in that fusebox or do you need one from the dealer with your vin number ?
@@funcarsgoodpeople is it only that what can turn the ignition /terminal 15 off ? Can you give another examples what can turn the ignition/terminal 15 off ?
where is terminal 15 located ?
Hi Ben, the source of terminal 15 is located in the fuse panel. An earlier version of fuse panel has a removable relay. But later versions only have built-in relay for terminal 15. The CAS module validates the car key and sends activation signal to the fuse panel to turn on terminal 15 when the ignition switch is pressed. And some of the fuses are on terminal 15. Please see my video about how to find them because the location may vary by car models.
Couldn't you add something to the sides the sharp support beam, like thick tape or something to avoid the cables being cut?
Hello Mike you are right about it. However, that workshop was lent to us so we were not fully prepared for this work which we never had experience about it. I am thinking about the foam cushion stickers which are commonly used for chairs/desks/doors, can be applied for this problem 🤗
I have fitted my mr12volt to my e60 CCC head unit and all the audio and everything works perfectly, however there is an issue where the screen is very dimly lit, even with the brightness turned all the way up. Any pointers as to what it could be? Thank you
Hello and congrats Jack for your successful DIY! I am not an expert of LCD displays. The iDrive screen on my E90 also looks dimmed. I guess that is due to the aged backlight of the LCD display. I see there are some DIY articles about changing the backlight. Perhaps you can make this your next DIY project? 🤗
Thank you for the excellent quality E90 content. Congrats on becoming a father and hope 2024 has been good so far!
Hi Pardeep thank you for the feedback! Yes so far 2024 has been good and I’m feeling like a blessed person, although I’ve also learned that life cannot be as perfect as I expect 😅 I have been busy with the baby and my job. There’s pretty little time for the ongoing project - replacing the 32 valve stem seals for the S65 engine. The work has started for 3 months but it’s only 50% done 🥲 So the E90 has been parked for a long time and I really miss driving in it. July is particularly busy for me because I have additionally two examinations and one license to get. I have to completely stop the DIY project and ask my wife to take over the baby caring 😭 Again thank you for your kind, encouraging regards. I will work hard and get back to everyone soon!
What was the purpose of Adaptation Reset
Hi Kevin, the engine control unit (the DME for BMW E90) does not know that O2 sensor has been replaced. So the DME memorizes the faulty values read by old sensors. Adaptation reset is like calibrating the exhaust monitoring system 🤗
@@funcarsgoodpeople thank you for always responding. Yea we followed your steps and starting to feel like we have bad ignition coils. They are SMP and not OEM.
I see! What are the codes you are getting? Indeed the limp mode symptoms can be very confusing so I always suggest people start with the faulty codes 🤔
@@funcarsgoodpeople since I replaced all sparks with NGK but with SPM coils, they all are misfire codes
I see. I have another video regarding codes about misfire cylinder 1-8: ruclips.net/video/-HcMYBclj_Q/видео.htmlsi=gSkrcUmjBHHUOwEe but that’s due to the natural design of the S65 engine 🤷♂️ Consider cold start delete if the misfire codes become too annoying ☹️
Hey I know this video is a bit older but maybe you can help me. The m3 never had the heated steering wheel right? And non M models never had the option to get heated steering with leather. Usually it's always the hard polyurethane. How did you get yours in leather? Was it reupholstered?
Hello Xantor thank you for the question! This was one of the big projects so I still have some fresh memory about it 🤗 I believe that the heated steering wheel I got is from E70, although there are no part numbers on it. It’s artificial leather so the feel is not that good as the original Novillo leather ☹️, as I mentioned in the video. It’s pretty easy to find a heated steering wheel for this project. And I think it is a good idea to reupholster the heated steering wheel to match the interior upholstery 👍
@@funcarsgoodpeople but yours was with leather and M stitching right? Or did I muss something. Because the polyurethane one is just "basic" black without the soft touch and the stitching
Hi Xantor I misunderstood your question 😅 I got this heated steering wheel from eBay. The item name was “BMW M SPORT TECH 1/3/X E82/E87/E90/92/84 NEW NAPPA LEATHER HEATED SW THICK&SOFT” and it referred to part number 61316956550 and 61316944816. The seller is atlanticship and they shipped from Belarus. I chose it after carefully looking at the shape and style which suit my “stock” M3 😂 However you can still tell the difference by its texture. Looks and feels real plastic. So maybe you can get one with the shape you like and have it re-upholstered with the material you prefer 🤗
Do you happen to remember the part number of that connector you used to power the transmission oil pump?
Hello MH thank you very much for the question! I love searching for the part numbers. Please search "bmw connector 75075279 872406-501A" and there will be plenty used connectors available. I have to go back to check my raw videos for the part number. However, I could only find that this is made by Honha Autoparts in China. Seems like it's not easy to get a new one🤔
@@funcarsgoodpeople Thank you for getting back to me. I was able to find one on eBay from a used parts seller.
i see a optical loop in my trunk do i need to atttach a loop to that?
Hello Clifton if your sound system is working fine then it means that loop is already bypassed so no need to attach a bypass loop to it. Please see my other video for bypassing the optical loop: ruclips.net/video/RhKOkYNZ65M/видео.html&si=P8pgLkHs7CQxRQrb I’ve also shown the location of the fiber optic hub (E90 in behind the left rear passenger shoulder)
Great video, I have a CIC 2011 unit, I have an E93 (convertible), the OEM mic is in the steering wheel, I am not sure how to access it, have you done so for a convertible? Thanks.
Hi Ltakallen, I did not know that the mic is in the steering wheel column. But it's good news! Because we don't have to make the mic harness go that far. It's not too hard to pop up the upper trim of the steering wheel column. Please refer to my other video about this: ruclips.net/video/hIKka5dYtp0/видео.html&si=19rLDEJiCgDFetS- (No need to remove the steering wheel!) And there's some space behind the steering wheel for the mic cable. However, please expect some tedious work running the mic cable from the dashboard to the steering wheel column😅😅😅
So my CCC unit works fine but does not send signal to the fiber optic network, so I don’t have any sound, chime, unlock/lock sounds. But the screen and idrive still works. Will this fix it?
Hello 500099, adding the AC+AA Interface directly to the network will not help. I believe there will be still no sound because not having any sound means the fiber optic network (MOST loop) is broken. One or more module on the network is malfunctional so you need to troubleshoot first. (Please refer to my video about removing the CD changer: ruclips.net/video/RhKOkYNZ65M/видео.html ) I recommend using a OBD2 scanner to see the fault codes about MOST loop. It will be quicker and easier. If you are not able to read codes, please make sure your amplifier is also on the MOST loop to isolate the problems. You can do a rough test by bypassing a single module on the MOST loop (with a fiber optic bypass loop) at a time to see which one is broken. When there is sound coming out of the speaker, the MOST loop is recovered so you know the faulty part.
Hi I hope you can please help me out. I’m getting these error codes on my 2012 e70 X5; 9CBD, 9CBC, 9CAB, 9CDB, 9CDA, 9CAA, 9CB5. I changed my FRM and had it programmed to the vehicle VIN. Which helped restore a lot of things but now I have a lot of lighting malfunctions that I don’t know how to fix. I didn’t see any short circuits with protool, I also checked the fuses for the lighting and those looked good too. I made sure the battery was properly registered as well so idk what’s next?! Please help!!!
Hello Ardit, I looked these codes up and they can be related to the FRM, LM(light module, but E70 may not have this) or IHKA(air con module.) I am just curious that are these codes solely related the FRM or are they coming from other systems? e.g. 9CBD FRM (frm_70): short circuit at rear door contacts 9CBD FRM (frm_87): Communication with step motor controller on the left disrupted 9CBD IHKA: Independent heating, switchover valve 9CBD LM: Battery exhaustive-discharge protection: deactivation, side light Could you please let me know your ECU variant (frm_70 or frm_87?) to help me decide which code to study?
@@funcarsgoodpeople Hi there! Thank you for getting back to my comment! I have FRM_70 and I wanted to clarify all the codes some other ones that might be connected to the FRM. I know I listed the 9CB5, 9CDB, 9CDA, 9CAA, 9CBD, 9CBC & 9CAB. Just wanted to add my comfort access doesn't work on the driver side front and rear door handles on the left but the right side of the vehicle works as well as the push start option working too. The power windows don't go up for both the front driver and passenger but the rear do as well as the control of the mirror and closing of them. I also got these code from the DME/DDE.... 3847: LIN/BSD, message; alternator: missing & 387F: Power management: Standby current violation. For the DSC (DXC_70) it got code 6EC9 saying: Interface FRM (status, door sensors): signal invalid. For the EGS the code 5125: Signal (door contact, 0x2FC) invalid, transmitter CAS. There's also two codes for the KLIMA2 (FKA_70) A1F1: Footwell-temperature sensor, right & A1ED: Seat heating, rear right (but I'm pretty sure I don't have rear seating).Also the JBBF (JBBF70) has codes A72E & A6D2 (both are in regards to the water valves for the driver and passenger sides, respectively) Yet I don't believe these codes have anything to do with the battery and FRM_70 issues, but I could be wrong. My plan of action are to change the belt tensioner because I've seen that moving a bit too much, along with the belt. That way that can solve the alternator message, because I'm pretty sure the alternator is in working order. On top of that I was thinking maybe the negative battery cable with the IBS sensor needs to be swapped out cause maybe that's giving those weird issues with the different terminals & battery discharge. I already changed the relay for terminal 15 but that didn't seem to do anything. Hopefully I've provided you enough information to help me get her running properly.
You fix it by never buying one 😂
Hi Chad yes that’s a precautionary measure 😂 I didn’t know that a lot of people have this issue until I published this video. I’m pretty surprised.
@@funcarsgoodpeople BMW you know what it stands for. Buy More Warranty
Haha thank you Chad for the joke. I did not know that! 🤣
Need some help! Installed my Mr12Volt for my Mercedes SL550 (2016) and followed the instructions carefully and while I now have Car Play which is great, the AC is not turning on at all (maybe when I put back the panel with the connectors on the back one got loose, (will find out in a little bit), but the main problems too are error messages.. It now has a phone icon and SOS Inoperative on the dash come up and the other error message is Auto Lamp Function Inoperative .. So frustrating to decide to use this Interface versus a few others and have these problems.. And there is no room behind or under the radio for anything so I had to put the wires through the side and to the glove box…. Waiting for help from customer service but they are 12 hours ahead and when they messaged me at 1:30am , all they said was if I had CarPlay working (which I do) then its wired correctly and focus on the AC connection.. It also sounds like the engine or fan in the engine compartment is revved up when I start the car which it never did before either.. man I am concerned this is messing up all the electronics. Was told for my version it should work with no problems and the DIP switches should all be off, which they are.. Any thoughts??
Hi Barry, I got your message and woke up on 3:30AM to see what I can help... JUST KIDDING! (The baby is sleeping nice so I have to use this free time for my hobby 😅 1. Air Con panel and cooler fan: I guess the cooler fan is in protection mode that it is assuming a hot climate because temperature information from the AC panel is lost. I believe that things don't break so easily but troubleshooting can be really frustrating like you said. I would isolate the possible causes as the first step. Please try to fix the connection of the AC panel. If not successful, restore all the connections to see if the car can be like before the installation. 2. Error messages: I read the official product page and think no particular coding (modifying the software configuration of onboard control modules) is necessary. BUT there may be some conflict between the modules after installation of new ones. So that's why I would disconnect the interface to see what's the cause. Before messing with the harnesses again, please try clearing all the error codes. Usually when we work on the car with the battery still connected, the car knows what modules/harnesses have been disconnected and logs that error. Sometimes the error codes stored in one module blocks the other modules from working normally, although the modules/harnesses have been correctly restored. So I recommend using a OBDII scanner to clear all the error codes (there will be hidden error codes!), reboot the car and see what still exists. 3. Take a break! You are very close to the finish line! And you are not alone! My engine is still taken apart but I hardly find time to continue the project 😭😭😭
@@funcarsgoodpeople thank you. I decided for now to remove the Mr12 Volt and put everything back the way it was. Man that was painful. Even after doing that , the AC isn’t working , the fan is definitely in overdrive and the error messages are still there . Maybe I should have tried to clear the codes but going to talk to the dealership to see if they can get the codes cleared and the AC working . Afraid to put the module back though it was nice having CarPlay
@@funcarsgoodpeople success at last !! And after removing the Mr12Volt unit and harness and putting everything back to original, the AC still was not working and the error messages were still there . Was going to bring it into a Mercedes mechanic but decided to again open everything back up, put back the Mr12Volt wiring , harness, Fiber Optic cable loop and plug in the module. Then once I saw there was still no AC and the errors were still there I decided to check the fuse for the AC. It’s under the hood and a 7.5 amp fuse. Pulled it out and yep- the fuse was bad. Replaced the fuse and that did the trick- AC working and no more error messages or problems. Thank goodness ! Buttoned everything back up and can’t wait to enjoy having CarPlay ! I chickened out on adding a front camera but I know I have the option in the future. Thanks for the encouragement!!
Wow! Thank you for the great news Barry! I’m so happy to know this! Please come back and let us know how you like CarPlay!
Just installed on my 2010 E90 M3 with CIC and to me the sound is amazing compared to the AUX cable. I was using just the AUX cable for awhile and when i switched to this, the sound quality is really high, way better. I had the same initial reaction when I had the phone just paired on bluetooth, sounded muddy and not very good quality, but once I connected via WiFi, the sound and the interface experience was way better. I think it uses both in case the wifi kicks out, bluetooth takes over, which only happened to me once so far. I haven't tried using the USB yet, but i imagine the sound is the same as on wifi. Another point is when I was just connected through bluetooth, the navigation sounded like it was coming out of an old game boy, once connected to Wifi, it was crystal clear. I guess the point is don't use just bluetooth, use WiFi to connect to the Mr12volt system and the experience will be a whole lot better.
Hi Knight Rider Redux thank you for the feedback! Do you have any setting for the EQ on the iDrive or on the interface?
Still playing around with the sound settings, though not an expert at all in eq settings either tbh.
I see. If you see further improvement with the EQ settings, please kindly let me know how to do it 🙏🙏🙏
According to faq section of CarPlay, the lossless audio in CarPlay is only supported through usb as of now. Its is only available at 16 bit 48khz. So yeah please let us know when you try this. As of now apple only supports wireless lossless streaming Vision Pro when connected with 2nd gen AirPods Pro. All the above of course doesn’t matter to most ppl, but for audiophiles or ppl like us who invest a bit more on these systems tend to hear a lot of difference when using lossless compared to lossy ones.
Thank you@@Vibhavrao for this information! Do you have any recommended tool/software for doing such test?
Great instructional video. I just ordered the Mr12Volt for my 2016 Mercedes Benz SL550 and there were no clear instructional videos like yours . I have been a little confused about the fiber optic loop and other connections once I get into it so between a few other videos that show how to access the existing wiring and yours I can figure it out correctly.
Hello Barry thank you for the comments! It’s my pleasure! I completely have no experience on Mercedes but I’m very happy to hear that you’re completing your own DIY! You are also very welcomed to share the tips and your findings about installation for the Mercedes 🤗
@@funcarsgoodpeople thank you. I am going to photograph or video as much as I can mostly to make sure I put everything back in its proper place . Besides getting all the connections correct , the wood trim around the unit is my one of my biggest concerns as I have to make sure I don’t damage or crack it as I doubt I could even find a replacement and if so it would be very expensive. I’ll just take my time and figure it out . My car already has a rear camera but I would like to add a front camera in the grill but not sure what would be a good camera and how to secure and wire it without removing too much . Have you installed the wireless charging pad? Curious about that .. Thanks again .
Hi Barry trust me you will be good at disassembling and assembling the trims in a short time. The car makers have a logical way of putting everything together so it shouldn’t be super difficult 🤗 To install the camera, you can look at how modern cars do to have an idea about where to position it. I see there are a lot of aftermarket light kits for Mercedes so maybe the front emblem can be a good choice? And for the wireless charger, it still pending 😅 I want to install it and film the video at somewhere with good lighting. But now I am doing another project at the basement with the engine opened so the car cannot be driven. Will keep you updated in this reply!
@@funcarsgoodpeople thank you. They are shipping the box today and I should have it to install this weekend. I’ll try and do some research on a front camera as well in the meantime . Thank you for being so quick and kind to answer me. All the best !
Best walkthrough
Thank you Erik! I’m doing my best 🤗 come back often!
@@funcarsgoodpeopleI just got a 08 328i and am looking at options. This is the second video on using that module. I'm more tempted to do this then use an aftermarket radio.
Hi Erik yes I like this module too. But there are viewers reporting success, and as well as problems with the installation(in the comment area!). Please carefully read the product description and requirements. Best luck for your DIY! You are very welcome to come back anytime!
Hi, i am getting these faults with my fem 804094: KL30F relay front, internal fuse 2 defective 8041F0: headlight driver module(tms) right: coding error D90D2F: headlight driver module (tms) left: missing LIN slave 2015 bmw m4, recently i got theSe aftermarket headlights and was playing with the module cause one side was dimmer. And now the driver side headlight wont turn on... Where is the KL30F located ?
Hi VK, I checked the wiring diagram/fuse map of the FEM(A173 Front Electronic Module) of 2015 BMW F82 and found that the fault code 804094 should be: 804094 Voltage supply, terminal 30F Fuse F11 defective (Same code may have different meaning on different version of control modules) The FEM is located at the bottom of the right A pillar. There are 14 fuse slots on it. Fuse 11 connects to the driver side headlight and Rear Electronic Module (are the rear lights working properly?) So please check if the fuse has blown. By the way, KL30F is a built-in relay inside the FEM. I hope it's not broken otherwise the whole FEM has to be replaced and that's gonna be a sad story. For the other two codes, coding error may due to aftermarket lights. You can turn off the cold/hot monitoring of the headlight by coding the FEM (please be careful with coding works!) and that code should stop coming. Missing LIN slave is becasue of the headlight has no power (Fuse 11 blown.) I could be wrong. You are very welcome to let me know the results. Best luck!
@@funcarsgoodpeople thanks ! I changed the fuse and now only the signal works on the driver side light. I think i might have damaged the light
Just a quick comment on the navigation volume problem you mentioned. I've encountered a similar issue on a different system. I use Waze for navigation. As a work around, you can open Waze on your phone directly (not connected to the car) and lower the volume of the guidance directly in the app. While this won't fix your issue of adjusting volume independently of the audio source while driving, it should allow you to "rescale" the navigation audio relative to music so the prompts aren't so loud. This at least worked for me using Android Auto.
Hi BalanBro thank you very much for the tip! I looked up in GoogleMaps but there weren't such setting available :( I'm happy there's a solution anyway! Cheers!😀
Thanks for the vedio.. I need your support my friend I have e38 bmw 740i 2001.. getting code IKE: voltage supple, terminal 15, fault It is running ok and i am driving it daily.. after warming or driving it will shake little, means not engine stable and a v. black smoke comes after driving but sometimes it stops smook.
Hello Abdul, the IKE means "Integrated Electronic Control Unit" and it is actually the instrument cluster right in front of the driver. There are three power supplies to the IKE; terminal R, terminal 30 and terminal 15. Terminal 30 supplies IKE constantly. When you turn the car on, terminal R tells the IKE to light up. And terminal 15 tells the IKE the key is in ignition position or the engine is running. So if terminal 15 is faulty for IKE, it doesn't affect the driving. And you can drive the car as usual. If you want to fix this code, please check the wiring harness behind the IKE. And I think the engine shaking and smoke are other problems. Do you see other fault codes? You are welcome to send it to me! Carl
@@funcarsgoodpeople highly appreciated.. your comment is so informative and specific.. The shaking and smoke resolved, it was vacuum hose blocked, and oxygen sensors bank 1 and 2 not working.. I replaced all of that and it is working v smooth.. engine light gone.. Now The power supply terminal 15 is pending, i will work on it this weekend and Keep you informed about what i might find over there.. Thank you again my friend
That's good news! I'm happy for you! My bad to forget to mention in last reply; the three fuses for the IKE are: Terminla R - Fuse 43 (5A), Terminal 30 - Fuse 26 (5A) and Terminal 15 - Fuse 18 (5A) You can send me your VIN to funcarsgoodpeople@gmail.com and I can send you related information about the IKE, e.g. the wiring diagram and connector pin assignment table, to you. I believe you are a professional faultbuster and that code will be cleared soon :) Cheers!
太详细了,谢谢你!

Hi this video is incredibly helpful thank you! I have one question.. I am struggling to route the original LVDS cable back down to the center console (11:15 in video) . Any further advice here?
Hello Ashwin thank you for the commentscomment’s too! I understand how painful it is to working in the dashboard 😂 Since the LVDS cable has an L shape, it may be stuck easily. You can try to remove the mid-range speaker in the top center of the dashboard and reach for the LDVS cable. The other approach is from the top of drivers footwell, beside the steering column. There’s also some space you can reach for the cable. I also recommend wearing gloves and sleeves to protect your hands and arms from the contaminants inside the dashboard. They can be quite irritating to your skin 😨
I can not switch to the Orginal Car System…..
Hi Two-one, How about pressing the iDrive Menu button on the center console? You can also assign the iDrive “mute” shortcut to the multifunction switch on the steering wheel. When pressed, the original iDrive can be switched. Let me know how it works!
@@funcarsgoodpeople the mute button dosent work, and i can not switch to the Idrive sytsem, i select the Idrive B (Ccc) version, but still dosent work
@@funcarsgoodpeople i found the problem, reselution was to high
Thank you for the feedback! Could you share again your iDrive version (screen size) and the DIP switch setting for all the viewers? Appreciated!
Hi pls help witn O2 sensors! My codes 2729 and 274B. They appear all the time. After installing a new O2 sensors, they appear again after 10,000 km. Exhaust system tuning
Hi AlexSib, you are talking about the codes for E9x M3 right? I checked on bmwfault.codes and the codes imply broken harness or short circuit of the O2 sensor before cat on bank 2. Please see below; 2729: DME: Oxygen sensor, coast-mode diagnosis before cat., bank 2. Check plug and wiring harness to pre-cat oxygen sensor LSVK B2 (focus on opens in wires for virtual ground and pumping current). 274B: Oxygen sensor pump current calibration fault before cat. converter, bank 2. Check plug and wiring harness on pre-cat oxygen sensor LSVK B2 (especially trim circuit wire IA). Since you have replaced the O2 sensor, there is possibility that the harness or wiring got broken, as indicated by the fault codes. Please come back and let us know your progress!
@@funcarsgoodpeople yes
@@funcarsgoodpeople I checked the wiring, everything is fine. maybe this is due to the installed ESS firmware
Thank you AlexSib, I'm not sure if the aftermarket firmware sets a different standard for triggering the error codes. This has to be verified by ESS. I am thinking of installing a supercharger to the S65 and that requires a new firmware too. I will respond to this comment if I find anything related to the error codes. See you!
Please do more Videos👌🏻
Hello Dominik thank you for the feedback! Yes I want to do more videos! Today I will take video about valve stem seal replacement DIY. Hope see you soon!
Great informative video. I see that apple CarPlay automatically starts up when you have the Bluetooth pairing set up. Does the audio automatically work as well? I have another aftermarket solution with apple CarPlay that requires you to navigate back to the original CCC screen, select aux for the input and then navigate back to CarPlay (4 steps to navigate to select aux and 4 steps to navigate back). It is a bit annoying to have to do this every time I start the car if I want any sound through apple CarPlay. How does this unit work? I am guessing that going through CD allows it to keep that audio setting / input whereas aux can’t be the “default” audio source when you start the car.
Hi David, Thank you for the questions! The audio starts (becomes ready) automatically. It is because the iDrive plays CD automatically, and the Mr12volt interface emulates a CD in the optical drive, so the audio system automatically plays any sound from the interface. For the first time use, just select the iDrive media source as the CD, and press the iDrive Menu button to switch Mr12volt user interface (the black top menu as shown in the video) on the display. Then the interface will be the default audio source when the car is started. (The interface powers up when you unlock the car so if you use wireless connection, Carplay will be ready before you start the engine!)
@@funcarsgoodpeople thanks for confirming! My follow up question is: does anyone know of good aftermarket screens that can replace the OEM screen and work with the mr 12 volt? Too bad they don’t offer a screen solution.
Hi David, I did searched for the aftermarket screen+interface that can integrate to the MOST bus, but so far I haven't seen one :( I'd like to have someone telling us about it too!
