Hi,

Here is a challenge for you guys:

I have a satnav mk IV system that I'm thinking of installing as a stand alone system (i.e. installed in a non BMW vehicle). It seems like this might be a bit of a challenge as as far as I understand, the satnav system is controlled by the IKE (whatewer that is)?

I have tested the navcoder against my system, and there is no traffic on the I-bus except when I try to scan for devices. I then see I.bus activity, but only the one sent from navcoder (as long as I don't have the IKE);

01.08.2007 16:27:14: Audio scan started
01.08.2007 16:27:14: 80 03 F0 01 72
01.08.2007 16:27:14: IKE --> BMBT: Device status request
01.08.2007 16:27:15: 80 03 F0 01 72
01.08.2007 16:27:15: IKE --> BMBT: Device status request
01.08.2007 16:27:15: 80 03 F0 01 72
01.08.2007 16:27:15: IKE --> BMBT: Device status request
01.08.2007 16:27:16: 80 03 F0 01 72
01.08.2007 16:27:16: IKE --> BMBT: Device status request
01.08.2007 16:27:16: 80 03 F0 01 72
01.08.2007 16:27:16: IKE --> BMBT: Device status request
01.08.2007 16:27:17: 80 03 50 01 D2
01.08.2007 16:27:17: IKE --> MFL : Device status request
01.08.2007 16:27:17: 80 03 50 01 D2
and so on..........


Question 1:
Is it possible to confiogure the system to run as a stand alone system? If so; how?

Question 2;
Is it possible to implemet the IKE unit to my system without having to add the rest of a BMW as well?
If yes, how/where can I get a IKE unit??

I'm looking forward to hear your suggestions...........
