I film how to unlock your dash board instrument cluster to see the battery voltage on your BMW E65 E66 745i 745li 750i 750li.
Thank you for watching the video:)
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE
Thanks for the Video, changed out my Alternator 2006 E65.. bought it used on eBay for 70.00 removal and installation took 2.5 hours.. was getting 10volts ,now getting 14.5 volts with AC on .👌
I'm happy!
Chuck SwansonO2 745i I’m getting 10ish volts I just ordered a alternator from eBay hope it fixes my problem...wat u think bought a new battery too that didn’t work now I’m waiting on my alternator..wat u think, thanks....
Correction, its actually the last 5 of the VIN
Excellent info and the clear institutions. I will give it a go sometime. Yes 11.8 volts does sound too low for a battery in regular use. The voltage while driving is determined by the power module which regulates charge to save fuel. My idrive starts to chatter and spin a bit if my battery gets low. They say only to use an AGM type battery.
I recently bought e65 and your videos are so useful thanks for loading them. wonder how and where you learnt these things.
Ne için bu
yes it is the last five numbers added up. The code counter goes to 45. which makes sense as 9*5=45. This would be the largest possible code. Cheers for the video. I am now able to see the water temp on the engine.
Thanks
Never mind I had to add up the last 5 of my Vin to unlock . useful vid .
With the engine running, the reading you are seeing is that of the alternator, engine off is the battery. Usually with the engine off, batter voltage of 11.8-12.2volts is good to go, especially if you had some interior lights and things on. I'm new to BMWs, but 13.8-14.4 volts with the engine running is usually good generally speaking. It depends on both engine speed and how many electrical components are drawing current. Sitting at 14ish volts under 2k RPM at night (exterior+interior lights alone are significant draw) seems reasonable to me...though I also understand that newer BMWs come with pretty beefy alternators. (I think I read my E90 alt is rated around 150 amps continuous/180 peak, 75%-100% more than my old Nissan). If you run the headlights and the ac on high and are still in the high 13 volts range I would say your charging system is fine.
Thanks for the video, only guy that explained it correctly for the 750's!
I was stressed out today and I just got In bed and kicked on a few of your cool videos and not only I am learning some cool stuff and it is relaxing to thanks Chris form Chris God bless :)
Love the Vids Chris keep up the good work.
Just one point I imagine your Vin code is 0????
ie when you add your last 4 digits together it's
the same as adding the last 5 digits. For those
whose vin code doesn't have a ZERO as the 5th
from last digit, you must add the last 5 DIGITS to
unlock
I tried to add the 5 digit beside the 4 and still doesn't work
Thx bro
You are awesome. Though i dont own one e66 right now. I watch all your videos to make sure i am prepared with all the info before i grab one from the used market
. God bless :)
Wonderful, I'm glad the videos could help, let me know when you pick up a E66:) God Bless you as well.:)
AGM's charge at about 14.3v, lead acid batteries are fine at 13.6v ish. My boat has 5 AGM deep charge batteries and my regulator is set for 14.7v which it never gets to due to the load. But its a great video.
Thanks for all the videos on the BMW 🙂
Can you do on on the oil pressure sensor.
Hey, if one .. one thousand dont work.. can we count one mississippi? two mississippi? :p
Don't forgett you must add all numbers to get the code. In my case they were 5, not only four. It worked. I must see my alternator. It's below 12 volts even with motor running
Great video but I had to add up my last 5 numbers.
Paulius Lie I had to add up last 5 digit also. Now it's unlocked.
Hi Chris, I came across your videos yesterday, and they are very helpful, my questions is, do you have any videos showing how to diagonose a vehicle when the steering wheel controls quit working. thanks
+Joe Martinez Hello Joe, glad the videos could help, unfortunately right now I don't have a video about fixing the steering wheel controls, it might be a quick fuse that needs to be replaced hopefully someone will see these comments and help us out:) keep me updated on the problem:)

Е65 730 3.0d reset same?
Thanks for the video I hope you upload the new video on how to register the battery because i need to do the same
Hi Chris. I solve my issue. I had to add up last 5 digit on our 745i 2004.Now it's unlocked
Yap, this works. Thanks a lot.
Avesuccess same for me last 5
First, my 03 requires me to add the last 5 numbers in my vin as the code. Second, an AGM battery should not be charged at more than 14.8 volts. I've read that over 14.8 volts you'll fry an AGM and destroy the battery. Third, all that said............I enjoy your series and have benefited from your video's. Thanks bunches.
thanks your video really help me out. i have a E65 2006 and you've help me save a lot keep doing what you're doing
The best videos EVER
Thank you for the kind words:) Thanks for watching.
Grate video I enjoyed the HELL out of that because of this video. I am confident I can do the front and rear brake I have coming up.
Just a quick question, if your voltage is minimum 11.8V like the video (I didn't do my test yet) should be ok? Because I have an AGM battery, looks new but as soon as I leave the car off but key on and radio on it keeps showing please recharge battery. I wonder if it needs to be registered or what happens.
hi Chris was wondering if you ever have a meet and greet to have some convo about these cars and go from there let me know thanks
Hi! BMW 745i
1.Brake and drive control systems malf..Parking brake without emergency braking function. Avoid hard braking. Please contact the nearest BMW center
2.Dynamic drive failure, anytime
3.DBC Failure stop lights always on
its a alternator problem?
You should be have minimal 14 mv car is working fine if not then start problems with your dynamic driver and gearbox
Looks like from the menu, there is a lot we can do. I need to research more for other options.... and I was hoping if the engine coolant temperature can be shown?
Hi Chris thanks for all your you tub videos, i have 730d , 2008. my i drive have three languages,Italian,dutch and english, i changed the i drive language to english but the voice command speech is still Italian, how can i change that to english. thanks
Awesome video. I subbed... did u ever make the video on how to register the battery?
Hi Chris,I like your video. They are very detailed. You've helped me a lot. I was trying to check the voltage and when I reset trying to reset the code I do exactly as you're saying and my Vin number add up to 10 and I go to 10 and then the screen disappeared. I held down for a few seconds then come back and it still locked. Please help
dynamic stability from your hard drive nav.
your videos are very helpful. Thanks, really helped a lot
Thanks for the awesome info like always. So I took my 745 to get the dreadful alternator gasket fixed and the battery died out on them. Anywho now I got the red air bag light on. I'm wondering if that's what caused it. How do I turn off the air bag light off ? Lmk please. Thanks
I guess this comment is too late to really be useful. But for the record, a lead acid battery should never exceed 14.4 volts... Generally while charging 14.2 - 14.4 volts are considered the fully charged voltage. I'm not a battery or BMW expert. But I have worked a lot with cars and to me your battery voltage looks perfectly acceptable.
Hey Chris I'm also waiting on that video on how to register the battery
Does this videos help with e65 before facelift? Or I didnt watch enough videos that I could reach this point? Thanks in advance :)
It depends one of those fuses in the glove box controls that also not sure which one
JERRY ROBINSON I was wondering about that..
If you me to record a video and post it let me know thanks
last 4 number- example : Vin number 5551= 5+5+5+1=16
or Vin number:
1702= 1+7+0+2=10
Hello. I have 5648 and 23 doesn't unlock it... Any idea?
Last 5 number
(2006 750i)I added up last 5 numbers. battery went low, charged it overnight started it in the morning and airbag light, seat belt and dsc lights came on. steering wheel controls don't work.
great video man, thank you!!!!
Do you which control module would be bad if new battery new alternator and still doing it and when I put tester on keeps coming up with voltage regulator failed??
Hello i have 740Li E66 2007 and my last four vin numbers are: 2546, i just have a question how did u get 16? Now i need 2 numbera to enter and do unlock thing
+DIY I'm having trouble with my I drive screen it just shows BMW. Every now and then the screen boots up but nothing responds when I click my knob. I get no chime,radio or cd player not responding either can you help me please I have a 2003 BMW 745I sport!
Hi it's not the battery problem you have a problem with alternator I have same situation like you and I change my Battery and everything was the same I driving BMW garage and then testing alternated and told me your alternators done make enough electricity you have problem you alternator from BMW cost about £500 I buy from Euro parts I return my old one and get hundred pound cheaper so it's cost me £300
Hi guys
I'd like to know if there is way that I could upgrade my system,radio,settings etc as some of the options doesn't work when I click on them.
And I have one more question regarding my radio...My radio is working but when I look for stations it doesn't find any,only if I look manually. What is annoying is that radio plays fine while I'm not moving but when I do , sound is going up and down like someone would play with volume control up and down ,up and down constantly.. Any ideas? Can I reset it all?!
Thank u
do you know what a bar light inside my gauge to the left is it goes up to 5 then slowly goes down to 6 and disappears im freaking out lol first time bmw owner I have a 2003 BMW 745i
OK I had to do the last 5 #s
Update: saw some comments and it's last 5 numbers. Not 4. I got it unlocked
hi I have a 2002 bmw 745li and I tried this but it says... Reset not available....? and it has this same reading on all of the options... what would cause this...? I did change the CASS and the DME
Swapped my module today with a new abs unit, all lights finally gone..disconnected battery before swapping
Great news, did you buy a new one? or did someone fix your module? glad your result were good:)
DIYsavecash
I bought a new module from Ebay by the seller "euroasiaparts" and it was $476 free shipping, to swap it out all i did was disconnect the battery, take out two screws holding the coolant tank in place, and to pull it out all you do is lift it up and there's a coolant sensor to remove by twisting off, then i set it aside on top of the engine bay, pop the clip holding the 30 pin connector in place with a flathead, remove the 6 torx screws holding the module in place, replace with the new one, put everything back together then reconnect the battery everything works perfectly fine...i have a little write up on bimmerfest just search "genc50"
DIYsavecash
Usually your supposed to recode the abs module at a dealer or indy but I think i didn't need recoding because I removed the battery so when the new module went in, the DME recoded the module for me (y)
Genci Cenobafto Awesome, thanks for letting me know the results, those lights have really been buggin me. Thank you again.
Diy how you fix the traction controll ? I have problem With this.... IT was abs sensor ? Or ? Have you some idea ? Somethink more ? Battery voltage ? Abs modul ? Or ?
Pawel Mosakowski in my case it's the ABS module which is causing those 3 yellow lights to come on. I'm going to send mine away to get repaired by a pro, they are very complex to fix I wouldn't recommend it, this way you'll repair your same module and then put it back in so you don't have to re-program your car to a new module. I'm hopefully making a video of this soon.
Pawel Mosakowski its ur module
mk w mast buy a new one? You think is ABS module?
Pawel Mosakowski i dont recommend buying a new one because they are all rebuilt its better getting one from the junk yard thats what i did. any other issue with this car i can inform you whats the problem and how to fix it
Pawel Mosakowski i am almost sure 95% its your alternator. dont buy a rebuilt one!!
Hey everyone, my dad is having trouble with his 2005 BMW 745li , it keeps saying that his tank is low even after filling it up. What do we do?
how much is a diagnostic tester for a bmw e65 e66
Hey
I followed the steps but it tells me reset not possible
So what should I do at this moment ??
my 2006 750 li have oil sensor malfunction any suggestion ?
11.3 v good ?
I need to know how to register mine too! Does it matter if it's not a AGM battery?
After doing some research folks are on the fence about AGM battery's some folks say only get AGM battery's and others say Walmart type battery's are fine as long as the cold cranking amps etc are the same, and it looks the same with the same size, to be honest I'm going to buy a walmart battery and give it a try, if you plan to keep your car for 10 years you might want to buy a AGM battery, there probably longer lasting. I'll make a video when I buy one.
DIYsavecash The charging system may over charge a lead acid battery the charging sequence for AGM is different than lead acid, keep a close eye on the water level.. it will boil off. The alternator is 180 amps, thats huge for a car most are around 100 amps.
Smart charging systems (pretty sure the E65 has one) have a millivolt shunt to measure the amount of charge going into and out of a battery to keep the charge level at a maximum.
I replaced a part and went to reset and now I can't use my key to unlock , is it something in there so it notices.the key again ??
Over 14 . Is saying over charging . your alternator might malfunction
I can't open my hidden menu any more, and have no idea why I can't anymore? Can anyone help?
just have a question have 03 745i the factory cell phone pop i replaced the battery in the cell phone but it doent come one any more im trying to program my cell phone to can is there a nother way to hook ur cell phone to ur car
please where is the RDC module for tyre pressure ?
Dude, thanks for sharing al your knowledge, I have an 03 745i and I'm burning oil, blue smoke after being in idle. Anyway, it's a good idea to check every 2 days my oil level, I can't monitor it like you can via I drive, but, in this video, when are going to access the hidden menu, way before the 10 seconds, it appears a first menu, in that menú is reads something like ENG OIL ... And then some readings? Is that maybe a measurement of oil level? Thanks in advance. @diysavecash
Guys...
I have replaced my alternator( with used) that gave me 10.x volts. Now all volts are 13.8v and all int lights are full brightly lit and car really feels powerful...but after driving 45 mins voltage slowly started dipping untill it reached 11.x.
The indie then replaced the voltage regulator and now it sits at 13.872 (13.9) with no load and 13.370 with all load i.e ac + full fan + headlights + front fog + rear fog lamps + interior lights on (door open).
IS THIS OK?
vehicle does not seem to be lacking voltage visibly...i.e no flickering...dimming etc.
How you getting on now 3 weeks later? When you say indie replaced voltage regulator ... Do you mean the Power Control Module in the boot under the fuses?
I have similar problem that two garages have failed to fix....
Previous owner must have had a problem, put a Lion battery (lead Acid) in. He obviously never registered the new battery and a few months down the line it is so confusing as to what is at fault.... Alternator? - pronounced good. PCM? - replaced. Battery - changed for BMW AGM and registered. But it died on me 3 days out of the indy.
So is it not charging? Or still not getting to the battery or is there some module draining the battery when I park it?
OH problems problems.
Robert Walton-Sharp
By Voltage Regulator i meant the one that contains the 2 carbon bushes touching the alternator copper rings. The VR is replaceable and is found directly on top of the alternator held by 3 nuts/bolts. BTW all good untill now..getting 3.9x v at idle at no load. With load 3.7x. Also i never registered my cheap KOREAN battery that i installed before 365+ days.🤓
Glad to hear you're sorted. Mine is an 06 E66 so must have AGM that must be registered, has a PCU but no IBS. It drove out of the repair shop on the new AGM but it can't have been charging while I drove as it died. I tried charging via jump terminals under the hood but after 40 hours CTEK MXS5.0 hadn't been able to push past stage 3 (bulk to 80%) [The charger is fine as the day before it had charged 07 e61 which had been left in sub-zero with the charger stuck for a month in the boot of the e66 in the repair shop].
Now, I have disconnected the AGM and after 4 hours it's into stage 4 absorption. Progress!
So, I am suspecting there is still something wrong with the PCU 9 132 581.
I will check the on-charge voltage when it gets to 100% and when taken off charge. ((Hopefully, 14.4 & 13.#ish))
I will load test the battery straight after to make sure it is good.
I will reconnect and go for a test drive measuring the voltage across the battery terminals, at a cigarette lighter and across the engine +/- terminals. ((Again hopefully 14.4 ish))
This may help me to figure out what is wrong.
I have a 06 750i my battery keeps dying after I use the car and park it for a couple of min I have to jump start the car and it work for some days and it would do the same thing again I check the alternator and works good puts out 14.5 running and ones I turn the car off my battery drops to 12.5 but then it would drop to 12.3 and like I say it would drain my battery please help...

In my case its only tractioncontrol coming up in dashboard one Day i drove and just Come this shit i dont think at it is ABS modul becouse its working but if i put a max acceleration so i have wheelspinn... What du you think first? Sensor? Battery? And when i want to look for woltage i cant... Last 4 nummers in my LIA750 is 6091 but 16 doesnt work...
Pawel Mosakowski try the last 5 numbers added up instead of the last 4, see if you can get into the menu that way?
Thanks but What du you think about my last post about tractioncontrol???
can you send over a picture of what your dash board looks like which lights are on?
Its only the triangle with the arrow around, idrive till me : destabilization in acceleration and curves drive moderately bla bla bla... After 17.30PM Swedish time i can sent the Picture If u want but its only triangle nothing more its happend when i drove in sunday morning and then comes up. I have big problem with this in BMW dealer says if i can leave the car but i know when i leave the car only check cost me 300-400 USD... Reparation mayby doubble... mayby its not a big deal. ABS working i think mayby preassure sensor in ABS or some sensor, battery? I wana ask som have MORE expirience like You
yes if you see in the video I have the same thing top left yellow symbol. my ABS is also working fine it's just the module thats gone bad somehow.
