BMW E39 E46 E53 Android Stereo Install: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
A lot of people keep asking about 6m cable. This is a link here - ebay.us/TT22Bo
About 12 months ago we did an Android install on a E39 540i that still gets a lot questions about how to install or upgrade different versions of the OEM audio system. Hopefully this video will help everyone understand what's going on with the factory setup and how to tackle upgrading both the head unit and the amps.
Below are some links to the xtrons versions to suit the E38, E39 and E53 models. Just keep in mind with the ultra wide 10" screens some android apps don't display that nicely. Its just not made for such a wide screen, its made for narrow tall phone screens.
E53 9” ebay.us/o57X8F
E53 10” ebay.us/WB0ItD
E38 E39 7” ebay.us/9umJxV
E38 E39 10” ebay.us/j7ptlE

I've watched this video so many times, and each time I appreciate more and more how informative it is. Upgrading an X5's infotainment system literally feels like dealing with the akashic records or some other esoteric dark art. Thank you so much for this.

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 года назад

It really does take a while to get your head around how the system works. Im sure people watching it for the first time will miss certain points, that they pick up later on. Thanks for the kind words.

BEST technical Video about this subject I could find, bought a excellent example of 2006 E53 and are looking to upgrade the audio in it :D (Educated in electronics, so the lvl of tech info fitted me perfect) Thanks again as now I have ALL the info to open up the back on the E53 and see what I got and how to upgrade!

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful! If you do have any other questions please dont hesitate to ask. But once you get your head around how it all works together its pretty easy to sort out. Good luck with the upgrades anyway.

@4syth 3 года назад

My e39 had the most basic "business cd" version and luckily for me there was no DSP. I grabbed an Xtrons unit a few months ago after watching Dave install his Android unit (Erisin from memory). Mine is Android10 with PX6 processor, 4gb ram and 64gb rom. It's really been a pleasure, I read reviews of people complaining about Android units being glitchy or slow but mine is awesome, I guess that's what you get if you buy a cheap lower spec unit, I replaced all my speakers with Focal gear and it sounds amazing. Apple Carplay in my 20 year old BMW is a godsend.

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

That sounds like my old x5 haha. Focal speakers, android head unit! It was awesome.

@MichaelRoninTV 3 года назад

Great video. An easy way to explain all of this is if your car has factory navigation, you will need that 5m extension harness. If you have DSP, you will need to bypass the factory amp with an aftermarket amp. If you have the simple head unit with no screen, you're good to plug and play the aftermarket head unit without needing the 5m extension harness :)

@ethanfield5459 3 года назад

To bypass the amp would you still Need a 5m extension for the head unit or wouldn’t matter any more with the 5m extension ?

@MichaelRoninTV 3 года назад

@@ethanfield5459 Yes, you would still need that cable as that carries power and other connections to the boot/trunk

@GTP375 3 года назад

Michael, makes sense. i have an android system, plugged it in and turned on but no sound at all. Not sure what i am doing wrong? I have the amp that is on the left of the screen the standard hifi unit not the one on the right of screen. I also have the navigation unit from factory with the same head unit that is in the car on this video. I have no idea what DSP is? any reason why no sound is coming from my unit? i connected bluetooth audio and even with my phone no sound was coming out. its doing my head in now. I think it has to do with the amp? grrr.

@lukeviewservice 3 года назад

I think you nailed the explanation Andrew. I am surprised they didn't run a digital connection down from the front to the rear. I believe they started that in the later e series.

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

Interestingly some of this generation did use a coax digital signal for the DSP, however, i have never seen one in the flesh so they must be very rare. But yeah the DSP in this car has the coax digital input. But you are right the fibre optic most bus on the e series is on pretty much all hifi models.

@morrockfly Год назад

At least for the E39, the facelift (2001-2003) version is using the quadlock connector (flat pins). And the pre-facelift (1996-2000) version is using the round pin type

@gathecap5674 3 года назад

Thanks , that was quite useful. I just grabbed me on of those androids today then realized it don't come with the harness which my instincts told me would be missing ☹️. Now I have one of those front panels just like the one you have , it has an amp only in the boot and no DSP , will I still need the new harness ?

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

You will yeah, the harness will connect the android up from to gear in the boot. If you are no DSP, but with front screen, you should just connect the harness to the original radio down in the spare wheel well.

@autoSRI 3 года назад

For amps have a look at the vibe power box units they are pretty cheap and really small so easy to hide away

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

I will check them out. We have a collection of old amps, that we have been holding on to for god knows why, so will try and repurpose those instead of spending money for now. However, if we end up upgrading speakers we may need a new amps anyway.

Great video. How were you able to get it to seat well. I installed one in an X5 and there are only 2 screw holes at the top right and left of the stereo, but nothing to secure the bottom portion. Mine seems to pop out at the bottom as I tighten the top screws. What did you do to keep the bottom portion from flaring out?

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

Hey Laz, this unit still isnt screwed it, it just sits in place. Never actually screwed it in as the system was never fully finished, but its sits in place pretty much perfectly and never moves.

Hi, I have installed the Eonon one on my 2003 e39 m5. I am confused about the Can Bus installation. Do I have to plug it to get the steering controls working and where should I plug it? And the buttons illumination, I had to jump the power wire from the factory harnesd to the extension cable to get them illuminated when switching the hradlights on. Also, can I add a region in the unit to make radio channels compatible with the regional bands here in Saudi Arabia?

Hi good day, my e53 is identical to yours and I have obtained the same stereo with the cable but a few years ago I did do away with the stock amplifier it came with and tapped my speaker wired directly into an aftermarket amp. Now that I have installed this new stereo with the cable I have lost my steering wheel controls. Can you please tell me weather I need the amp or I am doing something wrong.

I think it's the b54 module. Bmw doctor should have a youtube video on this topic..

@vahvelpoiss 3 года назад

my 2002.09 E53 has also the old BC style with monochrome screens in it. It does have some kind of box in the left pocket of the boot that I spliced into to get my high level sound for aftermarket amp for and antenna power supplies also the amp remote switch. I guess that is the hifi amp? one thing though, there’s CD54 unit in the dash for me with CD player in it and it’s heavy. people on the internet claim that just replacing the dash units should be pretty much it. how much did the Xtrons unit cost? didn’t notice that in the video 😀

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

It was just over $400AUD delivered. The reason i went with it was its got the most powerful CPU xtrons offer, im also looking to seeing how the qualcom 5 bluetooth internet sharing from the iphone works. I will explain in a later video but sometimes connecting to iphone hotspots is a bit iffy, which is why i run a full time hotspot in my e92.

Hey mate I've got an 2006 E46 325ci Convertible with the same factory unit that you have, I have the EXL006 6m Harness unlike the one you have, I have tested the unit out by plugging the 40pin directly into the xtrons unit and everything seems to be working but I was just wondering if you knew what the 24 pins of wiring below the 14 do? Because they are no longer being used I was wondering what they did also the other plug has 4 wires going into it what are they for? Because of the 6m harness I have the canbus module will now be in the boot, I was just wondering if you knew of any downsides to putting the canbus adapter in the boot rather than behind the radio and having to run the chunky extension harness to the radio. Cheers.

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

The pins that dont get used are mainly for the original screen. However there are few other signal wires in them, that are no longer needed now that the factory radio is being bypassed. It doesnt matter where your can bus module is located. As long as its in the can bus line somewhere.

I am driving a e46 touring with hi fi sound system. My wide navi display is not showing anything,just a black screen. Everything work normal. To repair this screen i must pay a money almost as much as for android. From you video i understand that if i buy an android or something else i must use again the bm54 module and a hi fi amolifier, right? But what about sound quality? Hi fi amplifier and bm54 are are quite lacking in sound quality…. How i can change that?

@Shotyoudie Год назад

So I have an android unit from previous owner installed, connected with 1 blue plug to the bm54 (yes still there). My car also doesn't have the left amp (it was a option in europe ?). It is a navigation/no dsp car. But I only get sound from the RR speaker, sometimes LR for 10-30 seconds too when I just started the car. I've read alot on bm54 issues and think this is my problem. But how come every android video/topic says i need the 6m cable and delete the bm54 ??

Hey, great video. I watched the whole video, maybe I didnt get it but is there an option in which I use the existing DSP (original, it still works)? My question really is this: what is the simplest way to install android in a E53 with DSP and the head unit like you have? No need for fancy sound, just need it to work.

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 года назад

You can use the stock DSP, however you will need a device on the ibus to send the required data to the DSP to turn it on. Some of the latest androids have this built in, otherwise the Ibus dongle will do it for you.

I need help with my e38 with factory DSP amplifier. 1998 e38 with DSP (without nav - no need for 6m cable) and stock speakers I was not able to change the direction of the sound. Even if I change the balance cursor sound was still coming from all speakers. I decided to buy and install Avin Avant 4 with DSP option and focal 2-way speakers with crossovers to replace 4-door speakers (rear deck 4 speakers are factory original). Now I have very low and distorted sound from all speakers and I cannot direct sound to any speaker same as the old setup. I bought a used DSP factory amplifier to try but no luck, the result is the same. I am thinking about buying an aftermarket amplifier but not sure about what to do for a good sound quality I need your advice.

@ZeroTo60Tube Год назад

I think ditching the DSP is the way to go. The fact the factory DSP is canbus bus controlled is just a nightmare. The DSP is also a very old piece of electronics that wont last much longer. I'd go new amp and crossover setup and simplify the system.

Hi, sorry i need help, i have a BMW x5 e53 from 2005, but in the rear on the left i have no hi-fi aplifieror DSP. Do i need some cable or do i just plug in the new radio and it will work? thanks for the help !

@ZeroTo60Tube 2 года назад

If you dont have the hifi amp, the audio may still be coming from the BM53 unit in the spare wheel well. You will need to check if you have that.

Hello everybody. Recently I got a 2002 X5 with al the original sound system. It has the original cd changer, 4 speaker, 4 tweeter, and two sub-woofer. It does not have a navigation system. Now I got from ebay a Android unit with all the accesories to just plug and play. After I removed the radio and cd unit in the panel and then installed the new android unit. Not sound comes out. I found several videos and articles tha says that can be the original amp remote on problem or dsp problem. What can I do to solve this problem. Thanks a lot for any sugestion.

I’m having this same problem with my 2002 X5 bought an eBay android. Everything installed super easy and the head unit turns on and works but no sound coming out of the speakers. If you mess with it for long enough turning the car on and off it will sometimes start to work until I shut the car off again then same problem. Doesn’t seem like the amp is being triggered to turn on is my guess. I’m not sure what to do either. I dint think either one of us has dsp because the amp that’s in my car is the smaller black one which was furthest to the left in the video. Any thoughts on this for us???

A lot of people always mention the wheel controls. Do people actually use them? Lol. I have 3 cars with wheel controls and rarely ever use them. Probably just creature of habit I suppose.

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

Yeah, adding subs to a e9x is a similar mess around. I ended up using a bass enhancer for the sub feed in my e92. Do you have anything to add bass to the sub signal?

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

@chris e, yes i do definitely. Its more so due to my seating position. I tend to sit just out of arms reach of the stereo.

@@ZeroTo60Tube thanks. My 2003 Range Rover l322 (bmw make) with old school radio and I bought an erisin stereo hoping to upgrade. After fitting all the multiplugs , I found no sound output, so I think I should have connect the new stereo to the old bm53 or 54. Is right? But I can’t find the extension cable with 3 quadlock on eBay to fit. Maybe I should buy a cable and make another extra quadlock to fit….

@TalesFromTheCity_ 3 года назад

Hi mate, you’ve probably already answered this a dozen times but can you tell me where I can buy the extension cable? I just got dooped buying the stereo and and need the harness extension

@ZeroTo60Tube 3 года назад

Hey man, each of the china manufacturers use a different pin out, so you need to get the extension cable that works with that particular unit. However, xtrons do sell a cable that just extends the BMW connector. So you use the xtrons 6m cable and then the short cable that would have been supplied with your unit. Prior to this you would plug the 6m cable straight in to unit and throw the short cable away. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, best way is to speak to whereever you bought the unit from.

@TalesFromTheCity_ 3 года назад

@@ZeroTo60Tube Champion thanks mate. Yeah I only just need the extension. The head unit came with the correct wiring but was just the small 20cm length. Searched everywhere in Australia for a place but the Xtron will sort it

Hi I’m asking how to tell if you have dsp. I have the same head unit as in the video. It doesn’t say I have on the menu. If I don’t is it a straight plug & play? 🙏

Wel assuming yours isn’t faulty like ours was. Easiest way to tell is by the connectors on the amp. Dsp has 3 connectors, hifi amp has one
