Hello, I have a 2004 E60 (530i) - once I actually install the cables, do I have to reprogram the iDrive? If so, do you provide instructions for that?

Hello, Yes, you do have to reprogram the iDrive si that the Aux input will appear on the screen as source. There are detailed instructions here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FeIIeh1TFY

Same here. Its a simple install. Plug and screw in. If you try to reset the DTC it will only come back on. Bosch o2 sensors fixed the issue. Don't know what the deal is with these. Some kind of defect I think.

Chris I would strongly recommend you take your vehicle into a qualified Viper install shop. I purchased the Security and Remote starter and my mechanic tried numerous time to get the security system working without success. Had no problem with the remote start. In the end he sent my vehicle over to a custom audio shop and they resolved the problem and got everything up and running. My advice is to let the experts do the install . It will save you money and frustration in the long run. Regards Rick

I lloked up several directions on line, and tried them, and nothing worked. It did not work on my 06. I had to purchase one fron the Chevrolet dealership for $78.00 + $29.00 to program.

The main thing is the model of the stereo head unit. The aux audio feature appeared at a certain point in the series; I am of the understanding that this feature goes back to at least 2003, so you should be OK. E46fanatics.com is a great resource and there are many personal accounts there to draw upon.I installed mine in the sunglasses storage bin above the ashtray so as not to have to reach for the glove compartment, but had to do a good deal of drilling and cutting on the rear side to get it to close (due to the way the lid moves against the bin) and even after a considerable amount of work the action is not perfect. I may end up relocating it to the glove compartment per factory instructions. The main thing is the model of the stereo head unit.

No, everything I found said that you have to take them to your dealer to have them programmed. Which I did and even though the model numbers matched the original FOB, my dealer reported they would not program. BUT I did find out that my original FOBs were covered by the extended warranty, so I have had both the original ones replaced by the dealer for free. Sorry.

Sorry didn't see "pre" obd 2. Obd 1 computers cannot be reprogrammed. You have to physically change the computer chip

This is very far from Plug &Play installation . You will revive no instructions with this just a very basic help sheet. The only one that can get the install information is a licenced directed tec or dealer because you have to go on line to there web site and put in your dealer # for install info . It can be put in without a certified installer but you better have a lot of knowledge on this type of install. One more thing is that you will not have any warranty with this if you install it yourself . I installed mine but I have been doing installs for over 30 years and it was still a little difficult without the instructions . Look on line for the installation instructions and see if you think you can do it your self . All you will find online is the quick install sheet and you can from there .

I found my instructions -- the number to call is 866-931-4207. Its been awhile, so I'm unsure if the number is still appropriate. The installation manual is just pictures, no words, and you have to follow the sequence.

It has been awhile, but I believe the programming instructions came off their web site. The instructions were a little unclear, so I re-wrote them for my own use in case I needed to order another Fob in the future. E-mail me at Rnagoda@sympatico.ca and I will send a copy of my instructions if you want.

Yes. I was experiencing the same problem. This cable splits the USB (power and control) and RCA mini (audio), and runs them through a chip. You end up with fine audio through your vehicle, control over your iPod through the iDrive controls, and save $$ by not purchasing it through BMW. This product works great!

I believe you have to take it to a dealer to be programmed. I googled how to do it and it wasn't working so that's what I did. Costed 40 bucks.

Thank you all for the responses ... I had heard that the driver's side door actuator on E46 BMWs is the "master" and that upon replacement, the CLS has to be reprogrammed accordingly. However, based upon all of you input, it sounds like it is "plug and play" with the needed for any additional work. Thanks again to all!

Have used on 2006 BMW 330i with poor success. The system required a professional's touch. Over charged showing proper charge. System "crashed" (no permanent damage). A 1/2 hour professional tuneup did the trick. Worked perfectly on 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan AND 1994 Ford Explorer. Tried on friend's 2006 Mercedes..............Same problem as with BMWHope this helps.
