- Hi everybody,
Welcome back to the shed!
In this video I am going to show you all how I have had an issue with the radio and Sat-Nav on my E65 BMW.
I will show you how you can fault find the problem and what you can do to overcome it.
For those that have asked, here is a link to the tools that I used to bypass the fiber optic MOST line. Please bear in mind that you will likely have to modify it slightly to fit as I did.

@@KevsShed are you anywhere near ga?
@@MrDatvaguy No idea where ga is so i'd assume not mate.
thanks for your video, on my e65 i got a problem with the speakers because now only 1 works behind the backseat, but sometimes the front speakers work for a few minutes, same with the bmw warning BONG i only hear it sometimes, you think i can check your method or is it the ask unit which i have to repair?
Hi that’s a great video ! Be great to get your advice on something ...
I have an e66 was imported from Japan last year. The sat nav is in Japanese and showing a map of Japan as the car thinks it’s there. Also the tv is in NTSC and want to get it to PAL to pick up the stations here in the UK
Would you any idea about this ?
Thanks again
nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Ty very helpful
Glad it helped
Standing ovation!
Thanks buddy, I assume that the video helped you out!🤗
Could you not use the Frankenstein tool on the one module @ 13:37 ? Aren’t they essentially the same just without shroud ?
What was that part you ordered from amazon called ???
Dvd player cd changer stuck plus a messed up screen. Would this method help with diagnosing it.
What is the first module you tested called?
Hi, my display on my bmw E65 freezed any idea what that could be or how to fix? Thanks in advance
Hi can i have the names of the bits ordered from amazon and also the name of the tool from bmw? Thanks a lot
where can I buy the very small tester or what is it called thank you
Hi, i owned a facelifted e66 v8 2006 750li, i ve been driving it for few years alrd and this issue keep happening but it never actually cause any real problem so i kinda ignore it, but it still annoy me and im not sure what cause the issue , hope u can help me out. I live in VietNam South East Asian country , the traffic here is quite slow so most the time i drive with speed under 30 miles/hour. This issue only happen after i start the engine and drive for 10-15 minus, and it mostly happen when i start driving uphill and slowly accelerate from around 25 miles/ h to 35 miles/h and that is when the car start a series of vibration/ shaking that i feel like it come from under/below the car. The vibration/shaking come in waves, it vibrating for like 2 seconds and then stop for like 0.5 sec and then vibrate again 2 secs and repeat few times. When i almost reach the top of the hill , it stop. I really confuse about this and its been happening for years and no mechanic in my city can actually figured out the issue correctly. Please help me out on this , thank u so much.
Computer did, but the radio does not work. what else could be???
Must be a common issue with these. My satnav module stays awake and keeps the idrive screen on even after locking the doors and drains the battery. Do you know if a new module will need coding?
I didn’t code mine when I changed it and it’s been working perfectly ever since 👍🏻
@@KevsShed Cheers mate
@@GeorgeAusters I took mine to the dealership and learned that my TCU was the reason for my IDrive staying on to drain the battery. I replaced mine and so far the car starts with no problem but I'm watching to see if it fails. I'll let you know how things turn out.
Great video Kev! I noticed that you have the same telecommunication module as on my e65 2005 facelift. Can you please give me some advices what I should do since my android Samsung A9 2018 it sees the module but when I am trying to connect by bluetooth it asks that pin number of four digits and I don't know where or how to find those since are not as on 2006 modules written after PK mark. If I will replace it with an 2007 module with PK on it, it might work as well?
I’m not sure actually mate, I am totally unable to connect any devices via Bluetooth to my car, I have the factory installed telephone in mine which uses the Bluetooth, there appears to be no way to make any other devices connect. At least that’s the case with my car, I did read somewhere that 2008 on models were able to do that but have not been able to confirm or deny this! Sorry I can’t be any more help bud 👍🏻
@@KevsShed Thank you for the reply! Yes I can confirm for sure that are 2006 to 2008 models with bluetooth modules which are connecting to most of the nowadays devices.
I was told by the dealership that my cracking noise and intermittent radio sound were due to a faulty aerial tuner module. Have you worked on these before and if so do you have a video to show how to remove and replace them? Thanks
I don't have a video actually (something I could look to do) but the module that you mention is found in the left hand rear C pillar behind the trim, it can be a bit of a pain to get to but shouldn't take much more than around 10 mins. It can be replaced without any coding required though so should hopefully fix your issue! 👍
Hello,
Asking if you may know, if any of my fiber optic cable at the trunk is broken/cut, let’s say from the gps module, will I still be able to use the bypass kit for other fiber line to run the system normally without the module with the broken/cut fiber optic line?
It should work so long as you bypass before the break 👍🏻
@@KevsShed thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you, what is the name of the fiber optic tool used to bypass the modules? Just did a alternator bracket gasket on a 745li and now the navigation system or nothing is working. It displays everything but 0 sound and no stations will display .

That is the tool that I purchased, bear in mind that you may need to modify it slightly in order to use it as I did in the video, good luck 👍
@@KevsShed thank you
@@justinyoungstown You're welcome buddy
@@KevsShed i had the customer go elsewhere. pretty sure he come in with the radio messed up already as we did a alternator gasket repair within the engine and never touched the audio system. I worked for a high end European shop so if he was willing to pay I'd be willing to diagnose the problem. 😃
What's the name of that jack you set up. THANK YOU
Marko Ilic I didn’t have the correct one for the connector that I needed to bypass. There wasn’t as many of the MOST bypass kits available at the time as there are now. However if you take a look at this kit on Amazon then you should get what you need to carry out a bypass.

Good luck 👌🏻
Where did you get the Bmw Frankenstein tool?
That 1 is a genuine BMW tool but with the insides pulled out. I got that one on ebay quite some time ago.
I’m trying to do the same thing on mine, it has the same problem as your car but I don’t know if I’ll be able to sort it out because I can’t find the Frankenstein tool from bmw
@@KevsShed Superb video. I've bought the MOST pair on ebay but as you said in the video that doesn't fit the gps and that's the unit I suspect isn't working. Any idea what search terms you used to find the BMW one so I can similarly dismember it?
Really good video. However, everything for me works but the sat nav just stays on the loading screen and i'm unable to remove the disc...At least I know now its not the module and just the actually Sat Nav unit.
Hi Kev.I have a bmw e66 730ld 2006,i started to get a crackling sound from the right passenger seat speaker,it went to the back speakers and now im only geting sound from the driver seat,what could be the problem?
That sounds like it could be an amplifier problem to me.
@@KevsShed Thanks for answering,the thing is i only have navigation and phone bluetooth module in the boot,i know i dont have logic 7 so i have the hifi amplifier,but where is it if its not in the boot,maybe the problem is the ask unit ?
Kev I’m having the same problem. After watching you fuck paying bmw 165 for a diagnostic. You got feeling like I can do this. So guess what I am. So wish me luck mate all the way from the states. Memphis TN...
Good luck dude 👌🏻
Hey I order the same piece and it’s the sat nav module. Radio came right on. So could you recommend a place, I could order one with the newest maps to go with it?
my e65 navigation dont accept fm/am commands and there is no sound comes from the audio system , even the the alarms alerts are only displayed on screen but no ding sound comes from the speakers,shortly every sound is muted, can this help me on my car issue
It sounds like the same problem, you just need to find out which module it is that has failed by using the same method that i used.
👍👍👍👍☑️
I did all of this and still nothing also center console electronics down too
Then your issue is more than likely a faulty ASK unit.
MST
I don’t get no red light on my connections 👀 I wonder what it is ??
If there is no red light at your connection then the problem is at a different point in the system. Perhaps check the CD changer in the dash as this is a common failure point! You'll know when you find the problem area as you should see red light in the connection.
What if i just unplug the gps module?
That will achieve nothing mate, each module within the MOST circuit requires power as it acts as a bridge for the last module all the way back to the ASK unit. if one of the modules is faulty or has no power then it can't transfer data to the next. If I remember correctly I did explain this in the video though!
