Bluetooth and DAB retrofit

[AnubisZed]

Ah I see, I was using the SG_CODEREIN, but I assumed I needed to code the HU/RAD2. I'll focus on coding CAS and NFRM.

I suspect my sp-datens weren't set up perfectly either, which is more likely the reason.

Finally, I'm honoured to have a response from @BMW Z4 Mods. I've been inspired by your youtube videos to try some retrofits on my car. I was really tempted to do the CIC but went with the Android screen instead.

Thanks,
Nick

Yes code the CAS & NFRM and see how that goes, RAD2 is difficult to do, but see how you get on.

I'm glad you like my videos, I try to make them informative as much as I can
Yes the CIC retrofit is a big complicated and time consuming job to do, and to be fair it was installed over a number of sittings, what with test fittings and pre assembled wiring looms. It's not for the faint hearted, but I love it and am happy with it. I'll be finishing editing the Combox retrofit video soon to go with it, along with a few others this year as well.

I've been having a go at coding in the sunshine. What I'm trying in ncs expert is running sg_coderein and adding the VO $654

The radio has updated but is no longer showing the DAB option. I think I'm making progress, but I'm wondering if I will need to do more as I'm adding DAB with a DAB HU rather than adding the module in the boot.

Am I right in understanding that the NFRM contains the bulk of the configuration? It took much longer to code than the CAS.

Thanks,
Nick

Always code CAS and NFRM as FA_Write, only SG_Coderian for RAD

If you have coded CAS & NFRM with $654, and with FA_Write, then I can't see why it would remove the option from the headunit. $654 works with the built-in headunit as well as the boot module.

Yes NFRM has a lot more coding within it

Thanks Dave, I’ll give it another go. Reading the other forums I’ve read that a sg_reset on RAD2 and a wait might be necessary. The battery was starting to run low so I didn’t do anything after the fa_write.

I was reading the fsw_psw file and that module has some very interesting options.

Update: After reading the file the DAB options are active so it looks like the VO option has generated the correct trace file. It is just a matter of getting the radio to apply it. I'll get the battery charged and try again.

Thanks,
Nick

I think I understand what is happening now. My Z4 has a production date of #0609 and the radio was only released in 2010. I’ve probably got to adjust the date or go for another option. Is this worth trying or would I be better off waiting for the combox video and keeping the dates as they are?

Arrr yes, change the date. Then once its all working change the date back for CAS & NFRM (FA_Write) but not RAD
