What exactly is happening when you say your BM54 is going sideways?

Good day Awntchi!!

It is a figure of speech meaning that the BM54 is just not doing what it should be... Could be anything... Like your printer or TV... It's just not working correctly...

Cheers!!

William, that made me crack up! My X has been going sideways for quite some time now...despite all my diagnosis tools and this educational forum, that's all I can come up with. Sad!

Acidgreeny, all joke aside. My question still stands. What exactly is happening, are you losing sound or are you not able to turn the screen on...?

wpoll will become famous soon enough
Does the video state the unit is a BM54? Maybe it is a DSP module?

The speaker connections are back there in your car, so that covers one side of the connections (the plugs removed from the BM54 to the loom) but I'm not sure what the other connection would be for (the loom back into the BM54), unless it is to pickup signaling such as the data bus for steering wheel controls, aerial power etc.

You've made me curious now - I'll chase this up later and post back here if I find anything. Links to the video in question and the replacement to head unit you are considering would be helpful. :-)

*edit* - you beat me to it with the link! :-)

I guess he doesn't really specify what it is but my understanding is that dsp is not plug and play but requires some cutting of wires etc. I really want to give the Eonon a go but am a little confused. As for the radio down to 1 speaker occasionally 2 but never sure what your going to get. Everything else is fine TV cd stacker etc all work great. Is the GPS plug and play and are the monitor cars pre wired for it , the GPS drive can be bought cheaply and would be a nice addition if I get the radio repaired.
