Excellent video...my issue was on a 1SERIES (E81). There was a recall in May2018 and the dealership disconnected my aftermarket stereo nearest the front battery (while I believe they changed this part nearest the back battery). I've had 3 separate mechanics (including ex-bmw mechanic) confirm they didn't need to disconnect my stereo for the recall. Now I have to pay for stereo to be reconnected - this video lets me talk specifics from visual knowledge. Kind Regards Dr S you explained very well your repair.
Best video I've seen about this so far but would've been nice to see you taking the cable apart and explaining that a little bit better. The radio is distracting also.
Nice, the airbag light just pup out randomly on the dashboard, after OBD scan and investigation the code error, I figured out that the issue is with battery plus cable. Need to do the same. Thanks for very detailed manual🎉
Good video thanks, Dealer wanted $900 to fix got part from dismantler from car that hadnt been hit $150. fixed problem seat belt/ airbag fault lights , Thanks again
Thank you sooo much I have only had my car for about 2 weeks I have a 2011 335i and I love my car I got in it to leave and it would not start I changed the starter with I did not need because my starter was already brand new but I did not know that at the time so when I changed that and it still would not start I was at a loss but because of your video I now know exactly what is wrong with my car so thank you so much!!
Make sure you wear safety glasses when you pop those rivets because they come flying out of there with enough Force to split the eyelid. Sharing because of a friend.
Hello. This video is very useful. I'm thinking about trying it on my 2009 BMW 328i. My question is - what year BMW was the car in the video? I'm trying to figure out if the cable I need is the same as yours or not.
Hi! Do you know the correct size for the bigger wire going straight to engine bay? 25mm2? My cable has been replaced near the terminal by cutting. The jointing is a total nightmare and I don't want to remove the connection to check the cauge.
Awesome video. I never thought you could change the end of the cable that has the battery terminal. I now have something to do. Thanks for uploading the video.
I'll have to look and see if that connector is loose because I'm messing with someone's where there is a lot of heat in that cable and high resistance I don't know if it got pulled on it wasn't even charging the battery it was at like 12.9v and up front it was 14 v I'm actually surprised the car started with that much resistance I was just barely cranking but the battery was low and with a jump box it did start but barely
Question;What happens if I just replace that safety positive cable ,but not fix the blowout airbag(crash in my car),?,Ther is no possibility of that safety positive cable blowout again?.Thanks in advance for your response.

Does this process work for a 2010 GMC Acadia? Your Video is the only one I’ve found that I can follow or shows how to replace it
