So I did your check. Looks like I've got SW 10 02 42 Does that mean I'm not compatible? If so- what do I do to upgrade the firmware? My radio is SA661. Here's the pic Last edited by mcfee03; 04-02-2017 at 07:34 AM. |

There is a fellow in UK who knows so much about these radios, you just do a google search for Boris and BMW radio, and his website should come up. There should be enough info about the versions of the hardware and firmware... EDIT: correction - search for Baris Carphonics - Car System Repairs and Upgrades

So you're saying my model number for my radio must be wrong? I used a VIN decoder, which told me: http://i.imgur.com/RBV5OXA.jpg As for Baris- this seems like an expensive, lengthy and unenvironmentally friendly option. Shipping my radio from Aus to the UK just to have the firmware updated? Is there no other option? |

the option number on the decoder is the order by which factory installs various options. The radio model is a number of the radio device, which is not same as option code...
it's like a paint code for, say black... black is black, code is the same, but over the years, the chemical formula of the paint is changed, and formula from 20 years ago is not same as today... |

Yours does not have a monitor, so all the connections would be made at the radio itself. I do not know about the radio firmwares and various versions, but assuming that your radio can handle the AUX, you would remove the pins from the 3-pin connector on the cable, and insert the free-hanging pins into the existing connector housing. Your colors are not factory colors - the factory always uses brown (or variations of brown/other color) for ground, as per German DIN standard. The Radio determines that the AUX cable has been attached by sensing a 300 kOhm resistance between the Left and the Right channels. there are only so many combinations for the 3 wires that you have - basically only 3 - the ground wire can be in position 1, 2 or 3. The other two wires, even if mixed up, still would work, either with correct left/right channel, or reversed, right/left channel. I would suspect that whoever built this cable (from the picture that I saw in this thread), might have used the regular left/right coloring from the RCA cables... the metal parts of the wires must not touch each other, as they will be shorting the signals. What is the manufacture date of your radio? from the picture it looks like model CD53, made in May of 2002... in that case, your radio simply might not even have the AUX option... But I don't know enough about the radio variations to be conclusive...

To add to the confusion (and to totally contradict myself!) I've just found a thread where someone with a pre-09/02 CD53, running firmware version 42 actually got the AUX input to work...!
CD53 with SW42 and aux - Bimmerfest - BMW Forums The quickest way to be wrong is to state something publicly on an internet forum...
