Help: Multimidea And Idrive Installation 320i 2010

rage_br · 04-25-2018, 02:01 PM

Good afternoon,

I'm from Brazil, and I bought a bmw 320I 2010 recently ...

This model does not come with GPS, MULTIMEDIA ETC ..
In recent research I have seen that this car does not have Whip CAN ...
I have the screen and idrive as well as all the sound cables for installation.
Which whips do I need to change to make it work? Has anyone ever experienced this? Adapting an original kit to a bmw that did not have multimedia?
I got a whip that fits the screen, many told me that the whip of the CAN network is still missing.
I appeal to you because they are much more advanced than the personnel here in Brazil.

Thank you ...

Erico Braga

You need to splice the CAN high and Can low wires that come from the junction box, like it's done officially by BMW. The official splice is normally behind the HVAC motor or thereabouts.

You will also need to tap for power from the junction box, for the screen.

Some guy did a retrofit from a non-idrive. Do a search for it. I think he's name was Booster
