hey guys was wondering about something when I do test this one is there a reset progress I gotta do or program it to work?

Wait a minute here! I'm confused.

Did you buy a diagnostic tool that plugs into the OBD II data port and talks to your smartphone and/or tablet to display operating parameters of your car? If so, then none of the suggestions so far have anything to do with this.

The scan tool module can connect via bluetooth or wifi, some can do either but most do one or the other. The module connects to your device to display OBD II codes, and lots of information on the parameters of your car. Depending upon the app you load, the module can display far more information than you have any clue what to do with.

Yes, you need to program it to work with your car. There are a few options and if you have BMW scanner you can have it working but not the one you posted from kijiji.

honestly, if you want bluetooth, just buy this unit or something similar
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00G...f_rd_i=desktop

i just installed (aka, plugged in) in my 06 X5 and it works fine, the quality is really good too. And it lets me connect 2 devices simultaneously. Which is great because I can have my ipod playing music via bluetooth and if I get a phone call, the music stops and my phone rings through the speakers and allows me to take the call....

well the whole thing is for my wife to have it and to stream music from her phone, the x5 has an ipod hook up but we don't have any kind of apple product and don't plan on buying any lol

is there a connector I can change to take out the ipod hook up and put a normal usb outlet?

Bouchedag84 05-28-2015 08:33 AM

Do you have an aux in? Cigarette lighter? That's all you need with the product I showed you. It streams music beautifully

A mediabridge is not visible and changes nothing. The stock appearance does not change and it is operated with existing radio and steering wheel controls.

I don't think you can do Bluetooth music with the stock units

so I ended up getting one from a 2004 x5 that supported Bluetooth I hooked it up to the x5 and was able to connect a phone and make calls, but the problem now is that I do no have a mic in the x5 in the head unit

I took the light panel out and there was a loose plug with a white end to it doesn't look like ur normal mic plug tho
