SUBJECT
Coding Faults with Retrofitted Satellite Radio (Options 655 and 693)

MODEL
E60, E61 (5 Series)
E63, E64 (6 Series)

SITUATION

When coding a vehicle with a retrofitted Satellite Radio (Option 655) in combination with the Preparation BMW Satellite Radio (Option 693), the coding will fail with a CoApi 1000 fault. The same fault occurs when installing a retrofit Satellite Radio on affected cars.

CAUSE

Faulty coding files in ISTA/P 2.37.0

INFORMATION

Please submit a PuMA Case and follow the procedure below to load a new VO before coding the vehicle.

PROCEDURE

1. After retrieving a new VO (with Option 693 deleted) and the corresponding IBAC code, load the VO to ISTA/P in the Data Management menu.

2. Start a new ISTA/P session.

3. After the vehicle is identified, go into the "Vehicle" menu; tab "Vehicle actions"; and select "import vehicle order".

4. Enter the 15-digit IBAC code.

5. After the VO is written successfully to the car, the session will be ended.

6. Start a new session on the vehicle and proceed.

For a more detailed description of the procedure, refer to the attachment.
