Important information on the installation of the on-board monitor and navigation system

Only for use in the BMW dealer organisation.

Installation of the on-board monitor and the navigation system may only be undertaken by a specialist
workshop which has available the necessary special tools and the required manuals (maintenance, repair,
diagnostic, etc.).
When installing cables/leads ensure that they are not kinked or damaged.
Additionally installed cables/leads should where necessary be fastened with cable ties.
Item numbers refer only to the overview drawings and to the texts next to the appropriate figure.
All the work is shown for a LHD car, the same procedure should be used as appropriate on RHD
cars.
Electrical knowledge is required.

The module holder for the on-board monitor and the on-board monitor radio are equipment-
dependent and must be ordered separately in accordance with the Electronics Parts Catalogue (EPC).
The bracket for the video module does not form part of the installation kit and, for installation of a video
module (TV function), must be ordered separately in accordance with the Electronic Parts Catalogue
(EPC).
The on-board monitor radio / CD changer control cable is not supplied with the installation kit and must
be ordered separately for cars with a CD changer without a DSP amplifier using the electronic parts
catalogue (EPC).
The boot trim panels at rear left do not form part of the installation kit and must be ordered separately
in accordance with the Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) only for vehicles without Top HiFi system and
without CD changer (in vehicles with Top HiFi system or CD changer, the existing boot trim panels at
rear left can be cut out)."

The existing aerial amplifier must be replaced with the aerial amplifier (part No. 65 25 6 906 082) for
new generation on-board monitor radios.
The new aerial amplifier is not supplied with the installation kit and must be ordered separately using
the electronic parts catalogue (EPC)."

14. Coding and concluding work

If you also wish to install the video module and TV amplifiers for TV function, the coding and the
concluding work should not be completed until after the video module and TV amplifiers for TV
function have been installed (connection description for the TV function, see section 15)."

Coding
This system requires coding.

To ensure that the retrofit system

- is fully functional and
- prevents malfunctions and errors when combined with other electrical systems in the car, this retrofit
system and, possibly, other components must be coded and saved in the central code of the IKE.
This coding process is automatic using the current coding program in the “Retrofit” path.
The procedure is user-guided, simply follow the text instructions to complete the various steps.

Procedure

- Connect DIS/MoDIC to the car

- Switch the ignition “ON”
- Select “Coding ZCS”
- Series: “E38”
- Path: “2 Retrofit”
- System: “8 Navigation”

The “Navigation operating software V16” CD ROM is required to load the operating system.
Caution! Do not insert the “Operating software” CD ROM into the CD drive yet. Do not insert the
“Operating software” CD ROM until asked to do so by the instructions on the on-board monitor.
At the same time, this “Operating software” CD ROM also encodes the language."

- Start automatic coding (confirm with “Y”)

- Follow the instructions on the on-board monitor
- Print out the new central label for the amended coding key and affix it to the car on the right-hand side of
the boot near the battery.
- After the message “Coding complete” appears on the monitor of the DIS/MoDIC, switch the ignition
“OFF”, wait for at least 10 seconds and then switch the ignition “ON” again.
- Print out error memory
- Insert the “Road map” CD ROM into the navigation computer
- Conduct a function test

Retrofit / Installation kit No. 65 90 25,170 (others see cover sheet) EN/39
Installation Instructions No. 01 29 0 027 075 Issue date: 01.2002
14. Coding and concluding work

In vehicles with DSP amplifier, the DSP amplifier must be re-coded in addition."

Procedure
- Connect DIS/MoDIC to the car
- Switch the ignition “ON”
- Select “Coding ZCS”
- Series: “E38”
- Path: “1 Recoding”
- System: “82 DSP”
- Start automatic coding (confirm with “Y”)
- After the message “Coding complete” appears on the monitor of the DIS/MoDIC, switch the ignition
“OFF”, wait for at least 10 seconds and then switch the ignition “ON” again.
- Print out error memory
- Conduct a function test

Language coding
The language coding can be repeated using the “Navigation CD-ROM operating software V16”.

Concluding work
Connect battery
Conduct a function test
Print out the error memory
Assemble the car again following the instructions for dismantling it in reverse order

15. Connection description for TV function

This chapter should only be taken note of if the vehicle is to be additionally equipped with TV
function."

To complete the upgrade the required parts (video module, TV amplifier and small parts) must be ordered
separately using the electronic parts catalogue (EPC) and installed.
The relevant branches of the wiring harnesses also have to be connected as follows:
Undo the tied-back branch A4, angled coaxial socket casing, of the on-board monitor wiring harness A and
plug it on to the previously mounted left TV amplifier in the left C-pillar.
Undo the tied-back branch A13, angled coaxial socket casing, of the on-board monitor wiring harness A and
plug it on to the previously mounted right TV amplifier in the right C-pillar.
Disconnect branch A11, blue 18-pin socket casing, of the on-board monitor wiring harness A from the
navigation computer.
Undo branch B5, blue 18-pin socket casing, which is tied back on the navigation system wiring harness B
and connect it to the blue 18-pin socket casing on the navigation computer:
Undo branches A10, white 18-pin socket casing, A12, offset coaxial socket casing, and A13, offset coaxial
socket casing, which are tied back on the on-board monitor wiring harness A.
Then route branches A10 to A13 to the video module and connect them to the video module as follows.
Branch A10, white 18-pin socket casing, to the white 18-pin plug casing of the video module.
Branch A11, blue 18-pin socket casing, to the blue 18-pin plug casing of the video module.
Connect branches A12 and A13, offset coaxial socket casings, to the two coaxial plug casings on the video
module.

Should the vehicle be equipped at a later date with TV function, the system must be re-coded. For
further details refer to section “14. Coding and concluding work”."
