Upon putting the hualingan harness into the BMW harness. No sound came out of the radio. What he did was , on the hualingan harness, there are 4 loose colored cables. He put two of those cables into different pins. I believe one of those is for the radio and another for the wheel steering. Finally there is sound in my radio. I also tried the stereo control in the wheel steering and its working perfectly. Upon pairing my phone, the phone bluetooth is working as well as the other party can hear me loudly ( and vice versa).

a. What need to be done on the other 2 loose colored cable that comes in Hualingan harness? Are they of any use? Where should i put them?

b. Things that are not working

1. iPod - once iPod is connected, it can show my iPod playlists and once I click on a song, screen will show and running, but no sounds coming out of the speaker/s.

2. CD - once I put the CD, it can read the CD and track is running and seconds are counting( and i didnt put in mute), but no sounds coming out as well.

The tech said all his electrical wiring are correct, bec if not, there will be no radio sounds and phone bluetooth sounds. What do you guys think the problem is?

3. TV - there is a TV antenna plug on the stereo ( besides the iPod connector plug) but no cable/ plug etc that comes with the packaged. What do I need to buy to make the TV run. What else need to be done.

4. NAV - not sure how to make it run.

Thanks,

I just installed Hualingan on my 97 E39 non dsp. Had same problem with CD changer, no sound coming from speaker. Is yours working now?
I am suspecting there is a 10 pin white connector that still hang around, I dont know where to plug in.

My NAV come with IGo 8. I connected the antenna connector to the opposite connector coming out from HU with thin cable. This is not the one. Then I connected the antenna connector to the opposite connector right behind the HU (on the body) and suddenly got the signal. It works perfectly.

Havn't test TV (DVB-T) since the broadcast in my area is still suspended I believe.

@thecount123 - sent you PM on regarding your other problems. But regarding the NAV, I think this guy can help you. HE gave me maps and the unlocked application. Tell him I recommended him to you...

Good luck and have fun.

Can I resuscitate this issue? I installed the same ipod adapter oem with the 4 wires and same color code wiring. I have an 03 525i w/DSP and there weren't 4 wires on the adapter - leaving out the white/purple wire.

I thought I hooked the other 3 correctly but now looking at the number above I think they are wrong.

Nonetheless, I had ipod controls just no volume. The volume is working on CD as well as radio...

Any thoughts? What are the wires EXACTLY for? I know brown is ground...

@thecount123 - I forgot to suggest this to solve your disappearing audio for DVD, iPod and others. Just try this out. I'm not sure If it will work but go and click...

Settings -> amplifier -> adjust individual volumes slide switches for iPod, DVD, etc.

Go to this screen...




I suspect that the individual volume settings for each have been altered.

Let me know how it goes. No hurt in trying.

Thanks full. Funny, i just change radio country to Latin America and everything just worked ( aux,iPod, dvd etc ). Thanks for thr inputs

Greetings.
Instead of thought to connect through SPDIF. In this case questions on volume control wouldn't be. In Hualingan in the menu is SPDIF means should be and inside, it is necessary to find it only. And in DSP and in the radio module spdif precisely is.

Good to hear you finally solve your problem. Mine is set to China region.

2 quick queries:
1.How was Owen's map installation?
2.does your iPod interphase on screen show Chinese characters instead of playlist, song,artist, genre, etc.?
Please see screenshot below showing Chinese characters...
