Hi
Is there a difference in the satnav computer drives (the DVD drive in the central cubby) for pre and post facelift z4s?
I think when I installed my Intravee I buggered the nav computers ram somehow - maybe I disconnected battery too quickly after ignition off and cut power before it shut down properly? I dunno, result is the computer/drive is goosed.
(Original thread here http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=88573&p=1323189#p1323189 )
So anyway, got what I thought was a bargain 2nd hand unit from a breakers through eBay. Was described as coming from a 2003 z4 and working order. I have a 2007 coupe.
Indy tried to swap them over yesterday but said couldn't as it is different from my existing one. It is visually the same mk4 unit with I think same connectors, but apparently it is not compatible with my coupe. (?)
Old duff unit says France on the sticker on it and has a number along the top 9590 9 154 052-01.
Also has 12-06 on it which I guess is a build date?
The incompatible unit says Germany on the sticker and a different number 65 90 - 6 920 182-03.
(this one has 04-03 elsewhere on it - tying in with it being a build date and supposedly from a 2003 car).
Indy says that I need a unit with the same long number on it for it to be compatible.
So. Was there some kind of difference between the nav computer/drive pre and post facelift which is causing the problem? Or more likely seller not being truthful about where it came from and maybe coming from a 3 series or x5 or something?
(Could maybe be Indy not knowing what he's talking about too of course - but I trust they know their stuff so surprised if he was fobbing me off).
Sorry for long post.
Rich.
