I retrofitted a CIC head unit into a 2006 E60.

It worked once the install job was done. Everything was good except I had no sound.

So from the research I did, I removed $694 from the VO and added $672, wrote the modified VO to CAS and LMA and coded CIC.
I used the default profile in NCS.

Now the CIC is gray and nothing works.

Can someone please help me out this mess?

Thank you very much.

I have done all of that, including using Expert Mode except change the build date.

Do you or anyone else know why my CIC displays a gray screen though?

I am worried it is permanently damaged.

Both $672 and $694 have nothing to do with retrofittig cic so...just curious...as you never change build date to a cic one and also did not add $5VA...how did you managed to code cic???

Thank you so much for posting.

Is it possible we are discussing two different things?

How did I code CIC? I typed up the steps I took in my original post.

That's based on all the info I could find on the internet on various forums.

Are those steps and the ones included in the manual kindly posted by member @lalaura wrong?

Please comment.

I really was hoping you'd see my reply.

If you could help by reading and responding...

Thank you.

You should change the build date to a cic one and 5VA doesn't exist its 6VA.

It sounds like you are thinking I am doing this to a F chassis car?

Hi SuddenlyFast ,

Since you didn't mention vin of your E60 so I'm not sure is there an amplifer(HiFi) or not , to my experience , sound from CIC always got something to do with the MOST , IMHO. I would suggest you check the MOST to see if anything was interrupted in the optic loop , there won't be any sound if any member (bluetooth , amplifer, Kombi.. etc) was down .

You mentioned your CIC is gray out , may I know is it the screen (CID) was black or there still is something but you just can't control it by i-Drive ( still bootable )?

Talk about retrofit the CIC , may I know have you used the emulator or you did virginize the CIC and import FSC by your own ? if it was the first case than there's a chance the emulator may got connection problem (low quality from China ?) , anyway , verify if the hardware is working should be my first step to deal with this .



Good Luck
