Hello,
On my 2017 750i, I recently swapped out the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Sound Amplifier with a used functional unit. The sound is back now and the "Warning - No Tones" error on the display is gone. However, I noticed the Ambient lights on all speakers and the Sky Lounge are now off. The menu checkbox options are still available in the Internal Lighting settings but I am not able to check the option.
I used Bimmer Utility to code the amplifier to the vehicle. BU automatically identified the un-coded amplifier, applied a CAFD, and saved it to the AMPT ECU.
Searching forums and the web, I have come to understand that the CAFD file should have the following options to activate the ambient lights after an amplifier replacement but I do not see these entries in the BU Editor or E-Sys:
If anyone actually has the CAFD file with these options, would you mind sharing it?
Any assistance would be appreciated in to identify what may e the issue.
Note: The amplifier failed due to water drops coming down from the left side trunk trim plastic clip during a rainstorm.
Thank you,
