"Update your FRM!." Always, always look for the simple answer first. I am curious why the shop is telling you to replace the CCC unit? After the previous 'non fixes,' not sure I would trust them with anything electronic, or opinions of same.Īlso sounds to me as they do not bother to troubleshoot anything. I spoke w/ customer service at 4x4shop, and they assured me it would be totally plug and play.ĭoes anyone have experience with either unit/company, and can confirm it is truly plug and play and will still have the factory back-up camera etc. I don't need wifi or 4g connection, as long as bluetooth works for audio.
My only real goals are to maintain use of the iDrive knob/steering wheel buttons, factory back-up camera/parking sensors, and have bluetooth audio/apple carplay. I did also look at the bimmerretrofit option, but after seeing the price of that, don't think I can justify close to $2k at this point. I am thinking about going with an aftermarket option such as the iNav from 4x4ShopCA or BAVE70A-1025 by AVIN, but want to make sure I am getting the right unit. They are now saying I will have to replace the whole CCC unit, which is obviously very expensive and in the end will still look old and outdated. The bad news is that after the reprogramming/new FRM, I had more issues than when I brought it in originally. After I brought it back, they said they found a piece of plastic that was interfering with the close, and haven't been able to replicate that issue since. On top of that, the trunk still wouldn't close consistently. When I picked the vehicle back up a week later, the rear view camera no longer worked, and the AUX cord was no longer a selectable option through iDrive system.
They suggested I do an update on the FRM unit, which eventually bricked it, and then had to be replaced with a new one. This all started when I took my 2008 X5 4.8i to a local BMW specialist as (among a few other things) the trunk hatch was having issues completely closing (would get to the point of soft close, and bounce open). I am sure this has been covered, but after struggling to get good search results, wanted to check to see if I could get some solid info.
