just got mine today. simple install. having aftermarket NAVIGATION i had the MID plug being useless. just chopped the connectors and managed to get the modlight 2 to work on IBUS. omfg it's great !!! i did the same install like you .
ibus is the infrastructure the car uses to communicate between modules. Think of it as the electronic language the car speaks. I forget what wires I tapped into for this module as I've long since sold this cae (sadly), but the cables I tapped into have ibus signals going through them. Hope that makes sense!
niceeeee you're back!!!! I'm bout to make a YT comeback as well just shot 4 videos and im about to upload over the next few wks. Thanks for this video and I hope we see more content from you! Love your reviews and inside industry tips
Sully Cortez thanks so much for the kind words! And yes, I'm back! I'll be making more car videos as well as videos on other stuff I like on general. Glad you're starting back up as well. Let's keep it up! Thanks for inspiring me to keep going. It means a lot.
Hi, do I need to disconnect my battery or smin before I connect the wires ? or just switch off the car before I connect and switch it on once all the wires are done? Thanks.
I didn’t disconnect my battery when I installed it, but I’d definitely recommend doing so. I was impatient and foolish for not doing so - luckily, nothing happened.
I have a problem with mine, just installed it and the only ones that are working are triple blinkers, cornering and welcome message, nothing else, does anyone know why?
@@hslhunting Anytime, dude! Good luck! Also, FYI, it's easy as shit to spray them. And if you don't like how they turn out, you just peel it off. Super easy. 🤘
Sorry, should of clarified - you can't have the mirrors fold up while simultaneously having that little light show go off. You can make the light show happen if you program it to activate on the second push of the lock button. The Ibus can't handle both commands at the same time - I guess it takes a lot of bandwidth.
first of all no m5 530i was produced. second, if you have dimming big side mirrors that have folding option, that works, then mod light will fold them for you
If this video helped you out at all, it would mean the world if you’d like and subscribe 🙏
Also, check out my other review vids!
A Must have.jus received mine today and fitted!

It's the best! You're gonna love it
@@BuenoReviews erection .
Good evening, I'm not sure I understood you very well, but you need to connect the three cables to a cable called ‘ibus’ ?

Bueno Reviews I thought you were coming back😪

@@BuenoReviews cool , cheers mate.
Awesome video bro! I love your cursing
Haha! Thanks! Gotta kept the GD swears flowin’!
have you had any problems with the car after you installed it?Something weird?
Sorry for the late reply! Honestly, nothing weird at all. SOMETIMES the auto fold wouldn’t work for one cycle, but that was rare.
Hey, when you program the functions, does the device have to remain connected or after programming you remove the device?
It needs to be left wired in.
After I do the coding is it supposed to blink red 3/4 times after everything?
I'm not 100% sure as I sold this car a while ago, but I show it in the video. I'm almost positive it blinks after you've successfully coded.
Does all of the functions works to you?
@@relaxedk1du49 they did when I still had the car!
I have a problem with mine, just installed it and the only ones that are working are triple blinkers, cornering and welcome message, nothing else, does anyone know why?
Contact Svetlin with the email in the description. He’s the guy that makes these and is super helpful.
is the IBUS cable same on every model? How do I locate it?
I'm not quite sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. The forums would be your best bet for that answer.
do you know what brand kidney grilles those are?
They're actually the stock ones that I just plastidipped. I tried buying aftermarket black ones but they fit horribly.
@@BuenoReviews nice. I had the same issue on my m5. Aftermarket kidneys looked awful. Thanks for the reply!

Nicely work bro and big subscribe ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
I have an Android radio installed does this somehow stops me from getting one of this?
Hey there! Sorry for the late reply. No it doesn’t. I had an android screen in my M5 at the time.
Will this work on 1999 e38?
I’m not sure.
What’s an L3 M5?
'03, not L3.
Ah, OK. Thanks.
“With the folding mirror option, you can’t hsve the light show for safety reasons”
Your car has both!
Plus, what are the “safety reasons”?
Sorry, should of clarified - you can't have the mirrors fold up while simultaneously having that little light show go off. You can make the light show happen if you program it to activate on the second push of the lock button. The Ibus can't handle both commands at the same time - I guess it takes a lot of bandwidth.
I was going to ask the same thing. Which safety reasons?
👍👌
I have m5 530i 2003 ?! Dose this work on it and did you bought the mirror or the mod make them fold
first of all no m5 530i was produced.
second, if you have dimming big side mirrors that have folding option, that works, then mod light will fold them for you
New type, yet cheaper and more reliable... Check this one out!
