Hi buddy, nice video, but the title is a bit misleading as you didn't do the retrofit of bluetooth, which I am at now. Replaced my business radio on e82 2010 for the professional radio, to find out my car has no bluetooth yet. Is there some other video where I'd get info on that please? Thanks 👍
Hi, I’ve got an F20 with the usb & Aux in armrest box but l want to add another usb in the glovebox, can it be done ?l have business radio and have a blue port free in the back of the radio.
Hi Dean, Thanks for your video. I have done all the retrofit as my radio did have the plug for usb but it’s showing the usb option in the screen. Do I need to coded?
Hey I have it installed from factory on my E87 2008, but USB is not shown in my BMW Proffesional audio sources, there are only FM, AUX and CD. What can it be?
Hi Dean, my BMW E90 Alpine Radio CD73 pixels are faded, have you done a video on how to repair dead pixels on a non iDrive E9X E8X BMW with the Alpine radio aka professional radio CD73?
Great video Dr. Dean! I love this level of technical content! I wish I had sound via USB in my 135i. Interestingly my US spec '09 E82 came equipped with a dual Aux/USB connector, similar in appearance to the one you've got, but the USB port only supplies power for charging; no sound input. I've been getting by plugging in a Bluetooth transceiver to the Aux port all these years. I gather my head unit is probably the same as the one you've got. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. In any case I'm very interested in seeing which head unit you'll select to finish this retrofit. Thank you!
Hi Dean my radio died on my 59 plate 330d coupe so replaced it with exactly the same radio part number but my satnav option is now black and aux and usb isn’t working. Any idea what I need to do?
Another great video bro, I know the AUX on my e92 fell through coming problem, just had an idea can you show a video on how to use the paddle shifters 👍
😅 I don’t even use them on this car as it’s not needed. I don’t know if it’s me but these 130i are very slow for me. I don’t know if it’s because I’m just used to it because of having so many of them or it’s because I drive my Porsche a lot I love the paddle shift on that that is incredible compared to this crap from bmw. But I really believe it ain’t as fast as people make out I think they come from a 2.0 and think it’s fast but the 130i just is the same as my E60 and E63.
I have an E88 2010 135i M Sport Convertible and have been using the auxiliary into a Dragonfly Cobalt D.A.C. Into the Lighning connectivity for my iPhone 13 Pro using the Sirius XM App. Sound is great. It’s digital conversion upgrade using the dragonfly cobalt which is a $325.00 micro-amplifier. But it’s a lot of maneuvering and having to take eyes off the road which is not all together ideal. 😬😳 but the sound quality is better than average. My question is if I upgraded the USB & AUX to a stereo or high definition USB and then run the cable to my professional BMW radio wondering if that particular radio has the USB connection on the back of it. Does anybody know?? I also looked into retrofitting my car, which is already pre-wired for satellite radio but the cost was off the charts. I think somebody would know how to do that here in the states but these dealerships don’t want to bother with all the labor intensity. I really enjoyed your video by the way and sorry for the long message. I tend to get very wordy, but I have great need for cruising and listening to music. I wish BMW had made it easier and included everything upfront with the one series from 2008 to 2010. I prefer the N54 over the N55. My mechanic who works on lots of different models have said stay away from the N55. He fixes one or two weekly. The N54 (which has it’s own issues, but not as many) is my preference. In a perfect world I would pay three grand and just have it already done professionally but I’d rather do it kind of like what you have shown in your video. I would just like to know if the current BMW professional radio that came in my model has that USB input on the back of the head unit? That would definitely save some time. Of course the guy who sold me the car and older gentleman said don’t worry about the damn radio just drive it like you stole it and enjoy the weather and the cruising ability because nothing drives like a BMW. Well I’m a music for the . fanattic so I need my tunes. Gotta hear my RUSH, Van Halen, and Pink Floyd..! No BMW/No Car 🚗 😎🤟🏻
es fácil, hermano, adelante. Obtuve toda la codificación. Ya instalé una nueva radio y bluetooth ahora. Mostraré la codificación en el próximo video. Es bastante complicado.

When you buy an aux and usb kit and halfway through you realise there's no plug for the usb at the back of the head unit $%&# 😫😤😡
Likewise, where can you get the stereo with the USB port is it even available?
Why not go for the newer USB-C type sockets?
Hi,
I’ve got an F20 with the usb & Aux in armrest box but l want to add another usb in the glovebox, can it be done ?l have business radio and have a blue port free in the back of the radio.
Please share the Amazon link for the part or the OEM part number
Hi Dean,

Hi Dean when you fitted your pro radio with bluetooth did you have a code fault ABEC for incorrect aerial ?

Boa noite, pelo que entendi ele vai ligado na entrada da antena do rádio?

Another excellent video mate, which many owners will benefit from
Brilliant again Dean 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Hello!
You solved issues?
On E60 is the installation easy,but the decoding is complicated 🙈
Nothing to it on E60 it’s easy
@@BMWDoctor can you explain it in a video? I found different video’s,but they explain it different.
It depends on your year that’s why coding is different dependant on if it’s pre LCI or LCI
@@BMWDoctor it’s a pré-LCI. 525ia N52 build in 2005
Another great video bro, I know the AUX on my e92 fell through coming problem, just had an idea can you show a video on how to use the paddle shifters 👍
How to use the paddle shifters ? Just shift with them 😅 it’s easy press down to down shift up to up shift
@@BMWDoctor lol I know, but u got dumb people lol 😂 jus lil humor , keep up good work 💯
Dead joke

Do you have contact details such as website ?

My E90 330xi has AUX from factory
This one had aux but no usb or Bluetooth or DAB (Sirius) radio which it now has. Usb music is much better then aux
Voy hacer eso al mio 👍

Hi, I've sent you a question on IG, I would appreciate if you help me out with an issue I'm having. Thanks 🙏🏻
