DAB installing + Coding - BubbleB - 06-01-2021 Hi Guys, Proud owner of a E60 520i (2004, business navigation) here Like several of you might experience, FM bands on the radio are going to stop. So I was checking out the options. Found this one and ordered (expecting it to arrive): https://cartain.de/index.php/de/produkte/dr700bmw Anyone installed already? Installing will be no issue (hardware); installation (software) will be challenge. My car has no DAB so I have to add $654 I was told. Anyone who already did it? Thanks!! RE: DAB installing + Coding - BubbleB - 07-08-2021 Hi Guys, thought I might update you all since maybe other members are going to be interested. So I bought the Cartain DR700BMW DAB+ module and installed it in my E60 5Series (2004). https://www.cartain.de/index.php/en/produkte/cp700bmw-mp3-music-player-en I have a MASK Navigation Business in my car (yep, the one with only arrow navigation). Recently I already installed the AUX input by installing the hardware cable to the MASK system connector and VO coded via NCS Expert, the +NAUX to my car and activated the AUX by coding in the MASK module. So I had some experience. VO: (F1-F3-E60 --> F2-E60-ADD "+NAUX" -OK-F6 --> F4-CAS --> F2-FA WRITE --> F3 --> F6) Coding: (F1-F3-E60-F6 --> F4-MASK --> F2-Codierdaten Lesen --> F3 --> NCS_dummy .... TRC file... AUX: nicht activ change to activ .... Export MAN file --> F2-SG Codieren --> F3 --> F6) Cable itself I bought on Amazon.de --> All working like a charm. --> Tip: do check where to mount the connector, since depending on your E60series and Navigation computer, the position might be different, even compared to some youtube tutorials ! Next up was the DAB+ installation. VO: adding $654 (same as above for +NAUX) to MASK Coding: same as above, activate digital radio Parts I needed: 1 x MOST Y-cable going from 1 connection (to Mulf) to 2 connections (to MULF and move on to the DAB+ Module). The final MOST plug needs the power supply as well for the DAB+ module, so I ordered it here (since MOST cable does NOT come with the Cartain module): https://shop.elektronikidee.de/en/product-65.html 1 x Cartain DR700BMW (it comes with a DAB+ antenna, so I installed this one and routed the cable by the speaker under the rear shelf to the side pillar) Took me about 1,5h: Coding and Installing. Remark: A special leaflet of Cartain added to the package said there was also a possibility to "auto code" the VO needed by the cartain module itself.... I only saw it later, so can't say if it worked. However, I have no reason to believe it does not. All is up and running fine!! |
