BMW idrive Not Turning On Or Booting, CCC Replacement FIX  

Hey man great video helped me a lot! I did exactly the same successful swap. Everything works except the navy system. The second hand radio is with navigation. Thanks

I am very grateful to you. My car radio had the same problem and I followed your instructions to the letter and it worked fine

Thanks so much best video I could find❤️

I had this issue and replacing my battery fixed every single screen error. It’s insane how crazy the car will get with a low battery

Thanks for posting - really useful

hey mate, thank you for the video and your channel! I am from cologne, germany and I have an issue with my CCC as well. Its a little bit different though, but maybe someone in the community has an idea what to do. So here is the problem. The navigationsystem in my CCC doesn't start up. And I do mean ONLY the navigationsystem. The iDrive (I think it's called that way) works perfectly, I can navigate through the whole software except the maps navigationsystem. Someone told us that the whole DVD-drive of the CCC is broke, so we exchanged it for another unit, but it's still the same issue (we only exchange the DVD-drive not the whole boardcomputer). So my guess is it's a softwareproblem. So I bought a new (original) BMW Navigation DVD Road Map Europe PROFESSIONAL 2019, but my CCC does not read the disc. It does not say there is a disc in the drive at all (we tried it with both DVD-Drives) so again I think the problem is within the software. Does anybody have any suggestions of how to do a firmware update of the CCC or any other ideas of how to fix the problem. The next BMW partner here wants 1800 € for the update and this is just ridiculous for putting some software on a boardcomputer... Thank you for any ideas and tips in advance - appreciate it! Keep up the good work!

Good video very helpful thanks

Thanks so much for this video! What’s the name of the company in the US that replaces the power unit of the CCC?

Excellent video !!!!!

I have a 2006 bmw 325iA with screen display not turning on. I will try this!! Thank you for making this video!

Hi Guys, I bought i545 M BMW from this person who took out the speaker, the Radio face mask, promising to replace them with a more batter system and after that I haven't seen or heard from him ever since that day! Now I am force to buy and reinstall these componence myself plus fix other things like the SOS and perhaps pull the CCC apart to see connection are loose because the CCC light doesn't

aha thats what i heard, it have to be coded to yout sound system!!! excellent video, very helpfull, thanks from Spain!!!

OK just a suggestion now that you have done that remove the air filters from the - under the hood remove the plastic bottom panel you will see a well look for water markings if you C water markings reached down to the bottom for a rubber grommet if there is a rubber grommet pull it up take it out water is getting in there and shorting out the systems if you pull the rubber grommet out then if water gets in there it just drains down-and-out from under the car

He, nice vid. Have you got a video regarding a cic high module?

Hi there, can you please let me know who did your coding in AUS?

I have a 2007 BMW 530I My radio will go off then It will come back on screen and work. But it will come back on and repeat. Like your video

Great job. I have the same problem and was wondering if you could please recommend a place in Melbourne to get it fixed?

Hi, graet video. I have done the swap on my wifes e91-06 with a great spec including Nav-pro except the audio (wonder why). After the swap all worked except the audio. The donator car was a -08 M3 with individual audio an updated CCC with the buttons. Wifes car has only standard-audio. Though I did not succeed to access the new ccc with NCS E I decided to let a workshop do the job. The vehicle order om the M3 diff pretty much from wifes car meaning the CCC included several modules not present in our car. The workshop succeeded to get the vehicle order fixed so now the CCC is back to stock, but the audio is still not working. I explained the issue as far as I could to the serviceman. He told that they only reprogrammed and updated the whole car to latest fw. The audio issue did he not have a clue about except suggest to buy a new ccc from BMW, huh! I suppose my issue is that simple that the power amp onboard the CCC is set "nicht active"? Though I still got the issue to not get the CAPPL ECU working with the NCS E, get fault codes and the reading is aborted. How did you solve the similar problem you had with the car in the video?

Hi, i just installed a new android 10 head unit from andream. Everything is working fine except that it seems to be overheating. Gets kind of hot where the cd player is also i can hear the cd player or dvd player still running after i shut the car off. I don't think it was doing this before the installation. So does this mean it's overheating if so what can i do?

Hi I love the video did it affect anything else I'm having the same issue but my sunroof won't work I drive is dead electric seaimts heated seats

Looks great! How much for the used unit?

Thanks mate !!!!!

Hi! I'm having the same problem on my e90. Where can I buy the CCC unit? How do I know I'm getting the right one?

Hi Mate, have got an Idrive on a 535d 2005 year, screen is completley blank, won't come up with 'bmw'or anything just an unlit screen with nothing. I'm going to try hard reset and double check the fuses, failing that, could it be the screen cable you refer to or something internal within the ccc module itself? Any help appreciated!

My CCC unit boots, but the screen has trouble displaying. All idrive features work as they should, but the screen is freaking out sometimes. Is it the screen itself? I can still navigate the idrive system, the main issue is the backlight of the screen, and occasionally it has trouble displaying as well

Hey mate you really helped me installed my new ccc as I was having the same problems with the old one.. the swap was successful however the audio quality is now terrible with distortion. Would you know why that is? I have the base sound system. Thank you again for your video!!

Thanks I’ll try that

I have the same problem on F30 2014 The radio is not working and i driver . Did you replace the radio?

Hey thanks it’s was the ccc unit on my 535 xi but I have a problem no getting no sound does it need coding or can I bypass that

Great video! Just wondering what part of sydney you’re located in? And what is the name of your shop? I’m having a similar issue and would like to have this looked into

Link to replacement CCC units on eBay - ebay.us/UibMUD

I have a 06 bmw 325i ... and I found one 328i I drive will it fit to my car?

Thanks for the video, i had a bad ccc unit, found a used one on ebay, the technician whos doing the job says he will need to program the new unit for it to work, is this true or is he just trying to get more money out of me? Thanks for your help

Hi bro... where is the polarizer located on my bmw E90 2011(CiC)? front Idrive screen or behind? right now I can see@ read all noticed or warning but it becomes blur soon...so I need to replace polarizer before it becomes completely blank😅

I just bought a 2014 338d, my display is just the bmw logo it sometimes turns into a black screen then turn back to the bmw logo. Any suggestions on how to fix it myself or get some one to fix?

So not necessary to disconnect battery . Would you disc batt to check fuses for aircon switches and temp settings seat heaters park sensors etc

Is there a way to bypass the mpm to see if the ccc unit works or not because I have 0 power to mine

Do you know if its possible for the iDrive system to function without the CCC unit? I haven’t ever used it and I hate how that is the main problem from me enjoying my car and listening to music. If not could this be fixed replacing the units with a 3rd party android center unit display?

So I have a 2013 535i that the idrive controller does not work in. The screen seems to be fine, but there is no power or ground to the controller. could this be a similar problem?

Thanks for showing without removing the key. Funny mine works when the battery unplugged overnight then when I plugged right up only works for few minutes start flicking like on your video.. idk tf wrong with it. Got new battery installed.

I have bmw 525xi I have the same problem. where can I get cc unit and around what price. Also how can I tell which model I need for my specific car. Sorry for so many questions /: but you video is very helpful thank you

I THINK this is my problem, BMW sign will show up and fade out in my 08 535i, it's worth a TRY... THANKS

Where us the link for the usa shop to have the head unit fixed?

What’s the company in the states you said repairs them? Need one fixed or replaced for my 04 530i

Hey brotha how can I re writte/ code the new ccc unit ?

my ccc idrive is completely fried and would probably need a replacement. is there anyway i can just upgrade to a carplay unit without getting another ccc or do i need another ccc idrive unit?

I am gonna replace my screen. Am I going to need to reprogram it. 525XI 2006.I tried to put a 2008 535XI on but the screen was just showing squiggly lines. My radio and audio is there but I just can't access my Idrive bcoz my prev aftermarket is faulty and I'm just trying to get something to let me see the IDRIVE.

Someone posted a video that shows that the faceplate for the e90 CCC unit may actually be the culprit. When he swapped the faceplate from a used unit with the unit causing issues it worked. Someone else then figured out that a chip on the faceplate board needs to be resoldered. So basically no replacement necessary. Just soldering.

My E92 B3 Alpina's radio stations get lost sometimes, any idea ?

Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏

One question do u guys have a shop in Denver? I have the same problem I took it over to the bmw dealer and they charge a lot just to tell me what it’s wrong with it.

Where can I purchase a used rhd bmw like this I already have a 07 bmw 525i Lhd but I needed a car and couldn't find a rhd, comment for info near Los angeles

How much to replace? I have a 6 series 3ltr on a 2005 plate with same intermittent problem?

Great video. That trim level makes my teeth itch though.

Can you show us the coding process for the CCC?

I'm diagnosing a 2007 BMW 525XI 3.0L, L6, USA/Canada with the same issue, how do I prove this without swaptronics? I can see on my autel that the signal intermittently gets "interrupted" but with the unit electrical connections exposed, where should I be focused as far as the drop out? Is it to the monitor or elsewhere?

I currently have the same problem with my 2004 530i bmw, you mention the logic 7 amp at the end. Is there any way of knowing if it does or doesnt have the amp so I dont have to do extra software work? In the US by the way if that helps. Thanks!

Nice vid. Is the process for swapping a CIC on a 2011 F10 the same?

Hello! Thanks - really informative. I've been having a similar problem on my 2014 BMW 320xi... The audio works but the screen just keeps resetting to the BMW logo every few minutes. Any suggestions? I do live in Alaska, so wondering if it's the cold. When the car is in the garage/warm it still has the same problem.

I have a 535 xi 2008 it comes on some days then goes off should I replace the ccc unit

Hallo . Hast du ccc modul getauscht oder repariert? Danke

hey man great video! im still having issues with mine, the screen isnt turning on at all do you happen to know what may be causing this?

Hello, we have a signal problem, the screen doesn’t even respond when we turn the car on. This since we have tried to install a car play. Please help

How do I get a replacement like yours , I have the exact same model 06 330

Question: Do you happen to know if you need the CCC unit to work in order to replace it with the Android 10 units? I have the same unit in my E90 as this coupe in the video, but mine doesn't even turn on at all. In fact, the HU would stay on even after powering the car off, which made me have to remove the fuse. If I buy an Android unit I would like it to work with the knob (which is just spinning as of now) and the CD reader (but that might not happen unless I replace the CCC)??? I'm worried that if I buy the Android unit, plug it in, it still won't work because of the CCC unit being completely dead. Thanks in advance.

Iv installed my new idrive to my bmw 645ci everything working fine bit there's now no charm noise or audio does this need coding

Hey man, MY IDRIVE WORKS (E60) SOMETIMES THEN THE KNOB DOES NOTHING. Also no sound AT ALL. In the glove compartment, the plug has the red light, so then its not the radio ccc right?

Please an opinion would be nice, mine is not powering on, althrogh the radio works, it drains the battery and i have a feeling it does not shutdown, but the navi dosen`t power on no matter what, also it dosn`t work blindly like trying to switch the music source, might be the ccc, but my question is, if i plug another one, will it turn on before coding? im a newby so i dont know.

5:40 it’s good here to actually put some cloth or towel on the centre console to protect from scratches or damage from that heavy CD unit. 🤔

You haven't taught or shown anyone how to fix a ccc unit. Only to replace one which is easy ...

Thank you for the tip. Do you know the name of company in America that refurbishes the ccc unit?

So, did you find what the main cause was there, other than just replacing the unit? Maybe it will be not easy to find out?

This has been really useful, I just need help finding the right ccc and idrive, if I get an aftermarket one will I have to have a certain/different or same ccc? By same obviously a new ccc just the same one I have in my 05 525i rn.

Great video man I have replaced my ccc just today and there was no audio I guess I need to do the coding but I have never did coding before how was the process done? Please thanks u

Hi there , i got the radio working fine in my e60 but the ccc screen doesn’t turn on what would be the problem ? Thank you

was the coding difficult? i need to do mine but i don’t have any reputable shops near me so i’ll have to do it myself

Hello good afternoon, I just replaced CCC on my 2006 530i all the functions work except for the audio, to have it recoded is it something I can do on my own or I have to take it to someone to do it.... thanks in advance

Hey quick question I am going to send my CCC unit to a third party for repair on 2006 bmw 330i so I will take it out and ship it. But it will take about two weeks before I get it back. Will I still be able to drive the car without the unit? I need to for work. Also how much would it cost to just buy a unit and replace the CCC.

I would like to know how to program the ccc unit with the new stereo head, is it just pressing the buttons ?, or with any special code? Tnks

Hey Zero to 60! FINALLY!!! Been searching for a video like this for the longest time haha I have a similar issue. When I power on my ignition, my screen flashes white for a second than off. Maybe 10 minutes flys by and it happens again. Goes on as long as the car is on. No sound. No functionality in any buttons. Tried the hard reset with the 3 buttons, and still nothing. Tried the hard reset with the battery. Nothing. Got a quote from a BMW workshop of roughly $3000 for a new CCC headunit haha Just wondering if you'd know of anything that may be the underlying issue or if this would solve my problem. Thanks again guys (2005 BMW 325i e90 MSport)

hey so i bought a used e90 and im pretty sure i bought a used unit for the back and installed it and had a mechanic go over the car witha reader and told me the head unit was dead and was likely the problem my screen doesnt turn on at all all i get is door chimes when its plugged in. any ideas ?

Can I swap from a ccc to a cci ?? Or up . E60 525i 2008

Hi brother,i have 2006 e64 the screen comes on perfectly,just that audio play and stop play and stop imagine driving convertible without music geeeesh what might be the problem ? thank you,,,,,,,from South Africa

I have an 04 530i and my only issue so far is the I drive constantly restarting and lagging or not outputting stereo sound. Would this be it or is that more of the micro power module at fault?

Hi guys I wanted to ask you a question. Practically I'm doing an update from a CCC bisness to a CCC professional on a BMW E90 but when I mount everything I hear the CD player that works but I have no image on the screen nor does it seem to sound practically dead. Can anyone tell me an answer to the possible problem.

Hi mate I’ve got a 2011 BMW f10 520d the IDRIVE screen does not come on at all also the radio and volume doesn’t work either any ideas on what it can be?

Where can I find one for the low

Hello! I’ll currently will have to replace the ccc unit in my bmw 530xi (2007 e60) does every ccc have to be decoded?

So you dont need to code anything if you replace? Or should the replacement be coded?

I have just ordered a new CCC for my 2006 330i it is same model modul 1 PL2 so will it be plug and play once I swap it out for my non working one? Or will I have to get it coded at a shop

I’ve got a 2005 E60 525i. The I drive tries to come on the screen and falters. The knob seems to be very free moving ( don’t know if that’s how they are) . Any ideas ?

Mine is doing exactly the same as this one in the video says BMW then a line through the screen and just keeps looping. any idea where i can get a unit for a 2007 E60 525i ??

I swapped mine with a different ccc unit off ebay and everything works fine just most important thing the aux isnt working

A bit dangerous replacing electronics with power on?

Reminiscent of the scene where Hal is disconnected from the spacecraft in space 2001! That went badly as I recall. 😳. I was waiting for the car to say it was scared.

Would changing out the head unit fix this issue or would you still have to change out the CCC unit as well?

Hi sir I would like to know the micro power module need to program or not. Thank you

Did you have to do any kind of programming with the "new" ccc unit, or you just take it out from another car and put it in your car?

Was hast du gemacht bei meiner ccc ist das gleiche problem

How do you code the radio to your vehicle?
