Your videos are such a brilliant resource. If I was closer I'd have asked you to do my mmi install but as it was you enabled me to do it myself (not that my car is back together yet...)

Glad you like the videos, and I'm glad they've done what they were supposed to do, which is to give owners information on how to fit something. Unlike most YouTube channels mine isn't there to make loads of money, I make a little bit from the Mr12volt affiliate link which is then ploughed back into making more wacky ideas come true!! :rofl:fatbaldboy said:
I have another 7 videos that really should have come out this year, but alas other far more important projects have got in the way. Hopefully in the new year I'll get back to editing the footage I have and get some of these out pretty soon.
Just a learning curve shared. I purchased the latest version with the OEM Mic. I made the mistake of fitting the MIC into the unit Mic input itself instead of the black lead labelled OE Mic. Obvious now but in my hasty approach I plugged it into what appeared the logical. Now my audio to the recipient on calls is crystal 
I also updated the unit to the lates firmware and uploaded my own custom splash screen instead of the default Mr12Volt logo. I have included the files needed. Just put it in the root of a freshly formatted USB Fat32 no larger than 32GB and reboot.

I see BMW has taken legal action on suppliers who use the M logo on their products… :tumbleweed
My new instrument cluster has had to withdraw versions that had a M logo inset in the display..

Do you really have to unplug cables to do the update? I don't really want to take trim off if I don't have to.

Unfortunately yes. You can only update the newer unit via Mini SD card slot and you must unplug the FO and power to complete the procedure properly.
I located mine behind the centre console accessible via driver footwell panel. Three hex screws and three cables to unplug. Light, speaker for chimes and some other unit.

Finally made the jump and bought a mr12volt for my 2015 e89 28i
In relation to VO, I did not have $672 or $694
I have used NCSEXPERT to FA Write $672 to the CAS and NFRM.
Does the VO get written to the CIC as it does not show an FA write to CIC and i read elsewhere that VO does not get written to the CIC.
I assume based on the thread details here that when I connect up the Mr12volt box the cdmm_changer_3 which is currently set to kein_cdc will change automatically mp3_cdc
Question = When i recycle the power in the car and before i install any hardware, i still see a single CD, Should i be seeing something different.
Am i missing something somewhere ?

Once you have added 672 to the VO and then FA_Write to CAS & NFRM you then SG_CODERIEN to CIC.bluetooth said:
As long as it's not been connected beforehand then it "should" change the setting for CDMM_CHANGER_3 automatically, BUT personally I'd pre-empt this by changing the setting once you've coded CIC anyway, as in case it didn't then you'd have to disconnect it all to be able to do the coding (the new way of connection stops you from coding the headunit)
Hope that helps
Thanks Dave
The SG_Coderien was what I was missing. I also found your cruise control notes today and find them great as a guide for NCSEXPERT. Good to find some content that you can trust.
Will also change the CDMM_Changer_3 now that I have found it. Now to find a dry day to install the box.
Cheers.
