Hi,

I am new to the BMW world.

I have just got my 2012 3 series (F30) sport and am delighted with it.

The only thing i wish it had was a sat nav.

Can anyone enlighten me as to how easy they are to fit and what is needed.

The first one i am looking at is:

Secondly:

Any advice would be welcome.

Hi Jamie

Welcome to the fray.

If you can get the full OEM kit for your car the only snag I foresee is it then needs coding to the car (I believe) if you have diagnostic software (INPA or similar) you may be able to do it yourself. Check www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model then search the Nav section to make sure you have all the parts and part numbers. Also check www.newtis.info for fitting information.

I had the Dynavin N6 in my 4.4 truly plug and play and a great bit of kit the only down side was it lost the OBC functions but I believe the new N7 platform from what I have read is fully integrated. As it is an aftermarket unit it won't need coding.

I hope this is some help

Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi, Yes The air bag light is on. I have not heard of an emulator? It must be a device to turn the light off? The person that owned this before me was an older lady but maybe she had a mechanic do something to this? Thanks for your help, JayMe

      Connectors in the boot next to the battery

      Hi Dave - Thank you got the excellent advice and information. Could you tell me where the main fuse box is (never had a BMW before)? We have a friend coming over to scan the car on Thursday so hopefully sort out the issues or at least know what to fix first. Thanks once again - Kind regards Andrew

      Connectors in the boot next to the battery

      Morning Andrew Welcome to the Forum looks like your missing a module rear camera or PDC could be a Towing Module Not sure about BCM (I assume this is Body Control Module?) BMW 1.4.0 or ISTA/INPA should/normally show Greyed out Modules as not communicating allowing indentification of Failed units The Footwell Control Module was a common issue on several models and a simple change whether you go new or recycled it will cause a Tamper Dot by the mileage, so your new unit will need to be registered to your chassis and the mileage matched to your car. Junction Box Electroncs is the next biggy mainly due to where it is situated. Dont forget check or better still change the Fuel Pump Relay one of the common faults Also disconnect the modules check the connectors for signs of corrosion on pins give every thing a clean and spray of electrical contact cleaner and put it back. I have fixed several this way. Good Luck Dave

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi. Do you have a light on the dash? It could be that someone fitted an emulator ?
