When youplug in a Resler USB-based ibus interface, WinXP has to load and configure the drivers so that a virtual COM port is established for the resler interface

Only after the Com port is setup, can you use NavCoder over the Resler interface.
ie: plug in the resler interface, let windows find the new hard ware, wait till its ready (takes a few seconds thefirst time) and then use NavCoder

Good work Jochen, tried it on E46 330Ci Convertible, MY2002/11. Works a treat. I used Resler's interface, v5 (USB version). Gonna try it on my brother's X5 with hybrid tuner and will let you know the results (looks positive so far).

For those of you asking about connectors, don't bother with a "BMW" conector.

You could make your own using a 3 way header & housing

If you just "tap off" for the interface then you can leave it in permanently and saves having to rip the internals of your car out to get to the CD Changer.

I used the cable used for internal PC CD-ROM's audio

I have a TVonNAV cable so have just wired it into that permanently (I need the last used audio feature otherwise woyld ebay it!).

Does it matter if I pick up the CD changer ibus connector in the trunk or in the center console? Id like to leave a "quick link" in the trunk section.

Incidentally, here in US, hookup parts can be had here at your local Fry's, Digikey.com, or even eBay.

Great explanation. However if one is running windows XP shouldn't the operating system auto install the appropriate driver's for the hardware? The write-up from where I took that quote has a link to a page with drivers. I don't get it?

Yes you are right. WinXP does it by itself. But it takes a few seconds :-)

Win2000 i think you had to do the drivers manually...?

I still have a 'runtime error 380 : void property value' on vista.

Well as you think KiwiJochen we shall solve a problem with a unblocking tv on hybrid modules of 2007-06 of release?

NavCoder works with hybrid modules in ibus cars (E38,E39,E46,X5,X3 etc)

I do not have a MOST-based vehicle so have no ability to work on them

I have understood that it is a question about i-bus modules, but I tried to do a unblocking on the module of 2006-7 of release, the TV in movement does not work!
