hualingan
2 Attachment(s)
hi to all:
i was talking with another technician re: my Hualingan problem, theres video but no sounds coming out. He said maybe the other installer removed my Alpine BMW iPod interface cable of which should have not been remove in the first place. I browse xoupost and saw a link of the said BMW iPod interface, but it didnt show or instruct where to put those 4 color pin into the 40 pin harness. ( http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/...ion-guide.html ) Does anyone have a link or guide on where to put these 4 colors pin into the 40 pin harness. Thanks in advance |
Wow, I had no idea you had to rewire for this iPod connector. I learn something new about this vehicle everyday. Sorry, I can't help on this one. But at least it looks like you have narrowed down the issue.
I think the other technician is wrong on leaving the iPod connector in. More than likely it is designed to only work with the MID and radio. I think you are going down the right path trying to figure out the original location of these wires. So the installer removed the iPod connector and just left these wires hanging free? :confused: |
Hi NextGen:
Yes, I believe the problem is the other technician removed these 4 pins where in fact he should not and done so. Also, he didnt make any notes on which color is for which pin etc. So when the Hualingan unit doesnt have any sound, I ask him to put back the original stereo and it was not functioning anymore ( radio not working) as he have no idea on how to put these 4 pin back. Lesson learned, don't just trust any so called " expert" on X5 even no matter how nice is their shop. Upon talking with another technician and explaining to him on what happened, seem he make more sense as he suspect the problem is on the 4 pin being removed. Another thing that concern me is that for these 4 pins, he said 3 are positive and one negative and the first technician just leave them as is without putting any electrical tape on each pin/s. At any rate, so excited to have stereo again in X5. Currently using iPod while driving *wink I hope someone will have an instruction on how to put those 4 pin back. Quote:

Larry, PM me the guy and store who did this to your X. Oh by the way, I previously had a DICE iPod integration kit, and previous to that, I also used a GROM. The wiring harness that came with these iPod integration kits were completely disconnected from my system. I just connected the Hualingan harness to the ORIGINAL wire cluster - without error. The only difference is that I did it myself. Sometime when you want it done right, we have to do it ourselves!
Also, if you are open to it, bring your X to Sanny / Victor of SNYC3. They know what they're doing there specially on BMW's. If everything fails...let me know, I have a "real EXPERT" fix your system. However, logically...it will cost you an arm. Don't gamble your BMW in Banawe or Cubao pare ko. Good luck. |
Hi fullmetal:
Thanks so much. PM sent. Thanks Quote:

If all else fails then consider taking it to the dealer. Since there are no parts involved they should just charge you for labor to put those pins back in.

hi guys:
Finally the 2nd technician was able to put back the 4 pins into their respective places and put them back into the 40pin harness. After which, he put the old stereo back and the radio is now running. 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 changed my radio country setting to latin america from china and suddenly the cd/ dvd is working :)
Now only tv and nav not working. Any inputs pls. Thanks in advance Quote:

@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...

@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... http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...o/432ee4ef.jpg I suspect that the individual volume settings for each have been altered. Let me know how it goes. No hurt in trying. |
spdif
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. |
Thanks full. Funny, i just change radio country to Latin America and everything just worked ( aux,iPod, dvd etc ). Thanks for thr inputs

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... http://tapa.tk/mu/70cd2cd3-4188-9e37.jpg |
im really stumped guys, i did the whole factory reset and switched to latin america on the radio and all i get it sound from the dvds but no video playing, i can hear the sounds but nothing else. any tips??
|
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... |
Has anyone got the Hualingan unit to work completely, with no draw backs. From what I have seen, iPods don't display, there are volume issues and volume adjustment issues, bluetooth quality issues?
I am interested in buying one, but after all the issues I have seen you boys have with your systems, I'm a little worried. |

I'm new to the forum. I just got a Hualingan for E46 and installed on my 2001 325. It works beautifully except the GPS has an error message of "Map file cannot be found". I purchased the unit with SD card loaded with US map, but apparently there are only .3dl files in the map folder. I'm contacting the seller. Meanwhile, may I ask you to post your working software, or tell me where can I download them? Thanks!:p: |
Hi tony1110 and welcome to the forum. Since you have an E46 you might want to check out e46fanatics.com. Although they tend to favor the dynavin, the navigation software works the same on both units. Do a search for dynavin on their site.
If all you need is maps for your software then you may find what you need here WORLD MAPS iGO 8.3.x : iGO AMIGO : iGO PRIMO |

You have to check back at that site periodically. Basically it is a cat and mouse game. The poster will put the links out there and then the host will delete them. I just went out there and the links are working again.
By the way these maps are for iGo 8.3 or iGo Primo. If you are still using 8.0 that came with the unit then these will not work. Primo seems to be the best one. If you want a version of Primo try this link - iGO Primo Issues/Tweaks/Systxt thread - Page 6 - E46Fanatics. See post 104. |

Hi everyone, another newbie joining the group. I am very interested in this plug and play unit, so I have been doing all the research that I can. I have read every single posting in this thread. It is beginning to sound like the plug and play part is fictional, given the postings about dash trimming and wire extensions, and gps not working, antenna's not working, chinese characters on the ipod functions and so on...Do you think there are quality issues here, or is it inexperience with the product? There was enough positives that I still want the unit, but I don't think I want the problems of installing myself? Does anyone know where I could have this unit installed in Toronto?

I'm looking at grabbing one of these as I await for the local auctions here to end. I have nice
Can anyone post up a vid of how either the hualingan or dynavin work with the iPhone 4? I want to know about pandora, bt phone calls, what happens when you get a SMS and anything else you can tell me. Thanks. |
external mic
I purchased the Hualigan unit from Allinmotion and had issues when I installed it. No sound, and the touch screen controls did not work properly, and the right dial felt a bit weird. allinmotion sent me out a new unit, I plugged it in the other day and everything is working great. I love the unit and a thanks to allinmotion for the great customer service!
I have the external mic [not installed yet], but was wondering if I can connect to the stock mic up, I am assuming I have one by the rear view mirror, as this would save me running some wires. My 2005 x5 has some bmw assist and phone buttons, and what appears to be a microphone slott?? [that is why I assume I have a mic.] Anybody have any experience with this? Havent totally finished the install yet, just waiting for my sub, box, and amp to arrive from Allstsrrd. I will also bed installing a backup camera thanks |
What is DSP? How would I know if a car had it?

To use the OEM mic is not possible. The OEM mic is sophisticated and designed to work only with the OEM components controlled on iBus. |

Fmugur, any idea if a new/updated version of the Hualingan is coming out soon? I really want to buy one, but after reading some of the issues here (especially the crappy Nav) I feel like I should wait a bit till all the bugs are out.

Quote:
I was told that they didn't bring enough revenue with e39 model to support the R&D to finish the e38 project and the market is not as big as the e39 or e53. They released the e39/e53 model only 6 month ago and the first shipping was in Sept/October. So, it's pretty new. So, as far as I know now there is nothing new coming out for e39 or x5. e90 is next on their plate. Not sure, though what you mean with the crappy NAV. You can install any mapping sw you wish that works on win CE. The unit comes with iGo which I find it very good with a lot of features. |
well not to burst anyone bubble -- but, hualingan, dynavin and bimmernav, so far seems to have issues, i like how the units look but i can live without the issues, has anyone seen, installed, or know if the tv-in-motion replica is on the market ???. I keep hearing coming soon -- is it or will it. or is it in the mail.

E53 PROBLEM
Ho installato un 8786 hualingan su E53, ma trovo i seguenti problemi, mi scarica la batteria della macchina se la lascio ferma per un po', consuma troppo anche da spento. Sicuro è lui ho cambiato la batteria e lo fa uguale, poi l'ho lasciato staccato e non so scarica più.
Ho midificato il cavo e l'ho messo tutto sotto chiave e non mi scarica più la batteria, ma ho un problema strano con l'audio che non si riesce a regolare rimane a mezzo volume e anche se i comandi cambiano la scala del volume, il suono che esce è sempre lo stesso. Qualcuno mi sa dire qualcosa?? |

Rough translation from Google Translate, Italian to English
I installed a 8786 hualingan on E53, but I find the following problems, I discharge the battery if I leave the machine stops for a while ', consumes too much even when turned off. Sure he is, I changed the battery and it does the same, then I left off and I can not download more. I midificato the cable and put it all locked up and I did not discharge the battery more, but I have a strange problem with sound that you can not adjust is by volume and even if the commands change the scale of the volume, the sound that comes out is always the same. Someone can tell me something? |
Hualingan - Radio and Illumination Key not working
I just installed the unit. I did factory reset under setting. The FM/AM radio does not work. Also, the lights on the buttons do not light up.
One thing I notice is the "Key Light" Icon under setting disappear. Can somebody help? I may erase something in the memory of the unit when I did factory reset. If you have the firmware, I would appreciate it if you can send it to me. or Do I need to connect the orange wire called "Illumination" to anything? Thank you |
why is it that most hualingan install has problems/issues, is it the product is inferior quality or are they selling bad/broken products ???. scared to buy a unit maybe i should wait for TV-IN-Motion replica and see if its any different.

I was excited by TV-In-Motion's potential until they put that negative comment on their website discouraging potential customers to contact them. They then followed that up by cutting off all communication. The last newsletter was sent out 4 months ago in October 2010. That thing is vaporware. I'll bet they couldn't get the IBus interface working. |
yea-- I did see the negative feedback on TV IN Motion and totally agree with you. maybe i should wait it out for a while. --- thanks

It was a tough decision, but I went Dynavin. I hope Hualingan gives us a mounting bracket one day as I prefer the 7" screen over Dynavin's 6.2" (or whatever it is).

No new complaints. The unit has not had any hardware related issues. iGo Primo continues to be the shining star for this unit. I really like how there is no navigation nag screen at startup (that warning message you get from all other navs). Lately I have been just streaming music from my iPhone through it.
Unlike many of the Hualingan dealers that have disappeared the guy that sales Dynavin in the US is still in business. It is nice to know that my 1 year warranty actually has meaning. :rofl: Quote:

x5 dvd nav unit - help
Quote:
forgotten sight. I have emailed the supplier and advised them that it is to big and possibly the wrong one. they replied and said correct camera for E39 but mine is E53. the camera may just fit with cutting etc. can anyone tell me how they fitted the camera into the left number plate light. also sat nav is not working correctly - doesn't give audio directions just shows map of street where you are going but no navigation instructions, and says looking for GPS signal. |
Try this link for Hualingan tips and tricks:
Car Solutions Dude Forum • Index page |
sedate_driver - I am still working on getting those pictures. I can't get a clear picture at night.
fmugur - glad to see you are still around. I hope one day to get a hualingan if they get their act together. Looks like CarSolutionsDude stopped selling them. Car Solutions Dude Forum • View topic - Best place to buy ? We have stopped selling these, too many issues and Hualigan is ignoring warranty requests. Some units are working fine still after a few months, but roughly there is 20-25% return on these. Some fail after a few weeks only, and some were even Dead on Arrival. Electronics going mad, paint pilling etc. Personally I would recommend you to go with Dynavin, especially if you have a e46. I wouldn't go as far as recommending Dynavin. Instead, I recommend that a potential buyer do their homework before purchasing either model so they know the issues and limitations. |
Since I don't want to take over this Hualingan thread I posted some (blurry) night pictures in my Dynavin thread.

:) I keep seeing the question asked throughout the 26 pages of this topic but as yet no one has actually clearly answered it.
To what do you connect the loose wires? The pink, illumination etc? The ones to light up the buttons and the unit itself when you switch on the headlights. yes I did see the picture showing 12v etc but not what you connect to where. Thanks ! :) |

I just got my unit from CTOBAY...
It took almost a month to get it but its finally here. Hope to install it maybe this weekend. I have 03 X5 with OEM Navigation, no DSP Unit looks really solid, I am surprised that the outside quality is so nice. Screen looks HUGE :) I also bought rear view camera. Anyone knows if the camera just plug and play or do I need to do some extra wiring/relays/??? |
Hopefully everything works. The camera should be plug and play although I don't know which one you got. You need a fakra cable but I guess you know that.
|
sorry, no idea about fakra cable. Can you give more info?
Googled it but saw different cables/results |
Quote:
You can do it yourself by extending the harness they gave you but you have to twist the wires the proper way. The supplier should have told you or asked you. Hualingan offers that as an option but the reseller has to help out. PM me if you need one, I might still have one. You also need the radio antenna extension cable. |
Thanks for responding.
Actually I retrofitted my OEM navigation (my car had only CD player before...) so this will be a 2nd time for me taking out the drivers seat, lift the carpet, etc...:D I saw they included long wire loom so looks like I have all the wiring I need. Cant wait to start this project, wish me luck and I will post questions (hopefully not many ;) |
Hey fmugur,
you probably know this system the best. Can you please look at the pictures and tell me if I am good to go with installation or if I am missing some wiring. I was told that the unit I received is the latest upgrade, hopefully its true. If you have any ideas, advices for the installation let me know, I really appreciate it. Wish me luck guys. This will be my 2nd NAVI retrofit in this car.:D http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o...I/DSC_0147.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o...I/DSC_0148.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o...I/DSC_0149.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o...I/DSC_0150.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o...I/DSC_0151.jpg |

Received my Hualingan today and connected it in the back of my trunk on the cable that normaly connects into the BM54. The Navigation MK3 cdplayer is disconnected and also no cd changer is arround. Switched it on and got sound, but the dvd wouldn't play, got some message about blah, blah, master ... but again still sound! Removed the Alpine 16:9 boardcomputer and buildin the Hualingan. Still everything works. Switched off the car and after finishing my lunch came back and ... NO SOUND???? Also the amplifier setting were set back to zero and every change I made no effect. As soon as I turn my key in the ignition off/on these settings dissappeared and got back to zero. Everything seems to work except for that master message when trying to play a dvd and radio channel gives good signal all without sound ...
- did a hard reset with the button on front -> no effect - flashed the device with the latest firmware -> no effect - no light effects in the button -> ??? - amplifier settings are lost after reboot and switched back to zero - when pressing reset button I get some noise from the speakers, so they are still alive ... after that nothing ... Also what do these cables do? (see picture marked as red arrows) also noticed that you can connect these together, but is this needed in an BMW X5 2002 model? Whatever is wrong I don't know, should I send it back to de dealer? Maybe amp in Hualingan blew up? Anyways I don't have any dsp or whatever so please if someone know how to help me. Many thanks!!! Car: BMW X5 nov 2002 model 3.0d |
Can you guys check the pictures and let me know if I have all teh wiring for this retrofit...dont want to tear everything apart if I am missing something:dunno:

what's the best price with the rear cam these days?

I paid 680 shipped for the unit and 35 for the camera

subwoofer connection with the Hualingan
Hello,
Im new here.Im using the Dynavin and im going to change it for A Hualingan. With the Dynavin i have some bad experients with the navigation part. It isn't possible to use it and to repair anymore, so I bought the Hualingan yesterday. On the Dynavin I had connected a subwoofer. Its a Pioneer TS-WX11a. The subwoofer needs a signal when the Hualingan turns on and off, so I safe the battery. With cable can I use from the Hualingan? Have I make a connection with the the pink/white cable 12V switched in the picture on page 26 for the subwoofer? For the Hualingan e46 models I guess it will be the red cable (same position as the pink/white cable) in the plug Thx guys for this information topic, just where Im looking for.:thumbup: JJ |

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. |
Rear camera retofit
Quote:
|
OK, sorry for the big delay but I am swamped with other stuff. Here are some pics and I will add the comments as soon as I can.
In a few words you have to run power to switch the HU to use the backup camera and the video signal. Power for the camera you will get from the backup lights in the trunk, not in the trunk gate. You have to go with the wire in the trunk lid where you place the camera. Mine is a different model, I will change it with the new one but for now I can live with this one. I hope it helps. Take the front seat out. Four bolts and the connector. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0052Small.jpg Pull the covers off and and run the video and power wires from the central console under the front seat and under the side panels to the trunk. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0056Small.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0055Small.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0054Small.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0053Small.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0051Small.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0049Small.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0048Small.jpg Tap into the wires that power the reverse lights. Pull the plastic cover to find the gate harness. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0046Small.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0045Small.jpg After you tapped into the revers light wires (12v and Ground) run two wires from the 12v wire, one to power the camera and one to the front to the HU to the wire labeled "Back". This wire switches the HU input to the backup camera input when detects 12v on it. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0047Small.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...Y0050Small.jpg Since the camera is placed way off the center you have to make sure you take this in consideration when you back up. You can find different models that are specially designed for X5 and actually can be installed in the left licence plate light. |
Great pictures. Your X looks like mine at this moment...
Can you be more speciffic about the wires your used to get power to camera and also what wires go from camera to the unit? Looks like you used brown wire for ground and looks like white wire for positive? Do you need to bring Power from camera to the unit or is it only Video signal? Also, Everything works on my unit except unit illumination - what do I need to do to make it work? I was reading previous posts but cannot find the solution, maybe I missed it. I have pink, orange, blue and brown wires on the harness. Fmugur do you know which onesi suppose to connect and where so I caget illumination :rolleyes: Thanks again for your help! |
I also noticed that you positioned the camera slightly to the left of the license plate light, how is the picture looks on the screen? Is it centered?
I was thinking to put my camera in the same spot, don't want to touch the lights, due to error messages... |
Just finished my install. All the options work. Connected orange illumination wire to my old power/stereo harnes and all the keys have light now.
I compared them at night to my BMW interior lights and they match perfectly. Some questions: Passengers front speaker has minor vining sound during car acceleration. Any idea how to fxi that? My camera had 2 power wires - positive and negative which I connected to rear drivers back light and one video cable which I connected to the units video in input - but when I put the car in reverse, nothing happens. Not sure how to fix that, ideas? I will try to post some high res. Pictures this weekend. |
Depending on your camera. They come with 4 or 3 wires (the ground is common). The HU needs +12 to the wire labeled "back" to switch the input to the camera. Do not use the video input for the backup camera, use the right RCA connector.
If the camera is not powered or there is no signal on that input you will get a message on the screen about that. If you don't send +12v to the "back" wire your HU will not switch the input. |
Quote:
Thanks for responding. I found out yesterday about 12V to the unit from carsolutionsdude forum... What "right"RCA are you talking about - I dont think I have one...I have several inputs for RCA audio, one input that says "Video In Back" and thats the one I used for the camera. :dunno: |
Fmugur - right now I have my positive and negative connetect to my reverse light. I also need to bring 12v to the unit. Is it possible to take it from the reverse gear instead of going all the way back to the trunk?
If yes, do you remember which wire to use at the gear? Thanks. |
Ok, when I connected camera and a wire " back" from the unit to reverse lights I got nothing... When I connected camera and " back" wire to my old audio harness which had Positive and negative wire I got picture from the camera so I know it's working it's a constant power and I want it to work when I shift the car in reverse....looks like reverse wiring cannot switch the camera, not sure why.
Anyone knows what I can use to power the camera and back wire from the unit so it will work when i shift in reverse. |
Philly, I don't understand what meant when you refer to the old radio connector.
All you need to get the camera working is power, and to have the camera powered only when you backup you need to connect it to the reverse lights. To do that there is no need to got to the bulb socket, you can do that on the trunk and tap into the wires from the gate harness. Hualingan system switches the input to the "back video" RCA (yellow rca with purple wire) when you put 12v to the wire labeled "back". So, if you use teh same power wire that you power the camera with to go to the front of the car where the Hualingan system is and connect it to the "back" labeled wire you should get it working. Here is a reference to a oem camera retrofit diy that might help you. http://www.xoutpost.com/38007-post4.html There are a few types of backup cameras but there is one that you can find probably from your supplier specially designed for your X that has the power wire on the rca extension so you can plug the rca and to the backup camera and you only need to tap into the 12v revers power. The ground is from the HU/RCA. |
Does that say 14 Degrees C, mine only goes down to 16...?

Hi guys
I am brand new to the forum, very informative forum. I like it. I have also purchased the Hualingan for my E46 330i, and was wondering if anyone has any of these problems and if there is any suggestions or fix that people have come across. 1. The music player will start from the first folder. Let’s say you have 10 folders with 20 mp3 files in each and you were listening to song 3 on folder 6 for example. If you change to radio or you switch off the ignition, when you go back to music player it would start on folder 1 song 1, then you will have to skip all folders to get to where you were. Another; if you are listening to folder 9 for an example and all the songs in that folder have all played. The hualingan will not go to folder 10 instead it will go to folder 1 song 1 2. Silence If you are playing music player again and you receive a phone call, the radio would mute the music so you can use the phone via Bluetooth, but when you finish the voice conversation the player will start and you can see it counting on the screen but there will not be sound until you quit music player and go back in it, even if you press the mute button nothing happens, or you turn up the volume. Which this time you go to folder 1 song 1 again 3. The AF (RDS) The AF button only works for the first time after i change the radio country until i switch off the car, when i later use the radio the AF button is now disabled, like greyed out. To get it to work again i have to reselect the country under setting and then re-tune all my favorite radio stations, well until i switch off again... and so on and so on 4. Phone book function I have an Blackberry Bold 2, the address book function will just hang with an hourglass forever and i cannot use the phone-book function on the hualingan, i have tried also a Nokia n97 same story. Firmware I just think that most of the my problems are firmware related and can possibly be fixed via a firmware upgrade? is there one somewhere? Please help anybody.. |
any update on the tv-in-motion head unit? these people are starting to really piss me off
|
Hey everybody so I've had the unit about 7 months now and everything was fine but today I hit a bump and the radio stopped playing. Everything else works fine its just the radio. I did a factory reset, took out the unit and clean the connectors but still. Any help would be appreciated

I went to settings then factory reset. U mean disconnecting the truck battery? And it worked?

No, no luck unpluging the battery.
|
Sounds a bit like a newbie question but did u try checking the fuse?

Tried the fuse too and nothing. What I don't understand is everything else works its just the radio function. Any firmware updates that might fix it?
|
no clue.ive been searching on this myself.when u disconnected the battery, did u disconnect the pos and neg or just the pos?i only did the pos.my only other idea is swapping out the business CD, no clue if it will help tho
|
I only disconnected the negative. I actually did swap the business cd and the radio works fine. I'm actually thinking about taking the haulingan out and figure out a way of putting back the business cd. It's pretty boring driving with no radio LOL
|
Really?guess its back to ebay for me... And i really hate ebay.hopefully i can find a business cd thats plug and play.im not lookin forward to slicing wires again
|
Your telling me I might have to buy a pioneer avic. I hate the way that looks. I might sell my business cd if I get a good deal

Here's a good thread from a British website.
xdrivers.co.uk • View topic - Hualingan Replacement Headunit (Tested) |
Hi guys, it's been quite some time since I last posted on the thread. That was a year ago when I was still happy with my Hualingan unit. Now, my unit hangs, lost the mic/audio for the Bluetooth function and lost the picture for the DVD - I get an error message saying - you should not operate DVD While driving. I'm planning on getting the same unit but an UPDATED one. Does anyone have an idea on these updated ones? Are they better? Is the windows 6.0 OS Much better than the 5? I'm afraid to get one because I do not want the OLD OS Ofcourse!
What do you think about this? I'm planning on getting this if it's really UPDATED... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DVD-G...item3cb79fe2a8 Let me know what you think, cheers! |

Get a tape measure or ruler mark the measurements out and you will be about right. :stickpoke |

but what will be from up / down :stickpoke thats the question... |

I fitted a Hualingan unit over a year ago and it is still good. The 7" screen and GPS function itself is good value for money and the setup looks good too. |
ya,you right friend
my bad :stickpoke, is not much difference in between the 2 units from 6.5" to 7" i guess... thanks, |
Hualingan Unit for 2000 X5
OK. How do I order one?
Have the old style Small Screen Nav/onboard Computer. 6-disk CD. No Sub-Woofer, no DSP. What do I need to buy? Thanks, SkidmarkX5 |
anyone ordered a replacement ipod wire??? mine went caput
|
Hey PhillyX5, do you have a link and installation pics of your backup camera? I've seen the same little pod looking style like you have, but I was never sure if it would fit and still hide under the lip (unlike fmugur's installation), if the resolution is good, has the red, yellow and green lines (which I want) in the image, etc.
|
Sorry, no installation pics I just used instructions from the forum but I will try to post some pics of the camera later, it's fits perfectly under the lip, looks almost like it came like this with the car, has colored lines and resolution is very good with day light but at night you won't see anything...but on eBay they advertise it as a day/night camera...
|
I'm guessing it's this one Car Rear View Reverse backup Camera for BMW X3 X5 X6 | eBay since it has lines, mentions night vision and is in the same price range. I did a search for "backup camera x5" and there are about 3-4 different ones that I've looked at, either round or square and look very similar in size. I just want it to have the distance lines and even though I rarely tow, some actual night vision would be preferred for that one time I'm hooking up at night.

hi,
can anyone point me where to get a camera,for the x5 01 , are they color ? night vision ? what will be best? thanks, |
Don't do it. It is not worth. Most of cameras are advertised as plug n play but they are actually not and quality sucks. You will spend lot of money and will never be happy.

i some 3 cameras here plus ebay are some,but dont want to wait to buy from china,takes to long to come, and also ,from what i heard they say they are color and they not... well will just try on from the link above,to see what happens . thanks |

never heard of the product but based on the features it looks like another product similiar to hullingan/dynavnin units. not a fan of the finish for these products though
|
i just read through 33 pages most ifnot all info is first thread. has anyone else done this does it work with only this deck? im was lloking at the dynavin.
ive got a non navi dsp x5 i keep seing posts saying need to bypass theamp and install new amp speakers ect. i just want a navi deck dont wanna redo the stereo |
May be wrong but when you order the dynavin they make you select whether your X has dsp or not. If so they send you another cable so that the whole setup remains plug and play
|
they they say dsp dont work as does hooligan.
that extrea cable is for if it had a navi deck before not dsp |
Anyone ever replaced the business cd and mid with Alpine double din unit ?
|
Is there a alpine double din with navi if so I'd get that
|
Was told the dunavin will work wit dsp. Has anyone done it and if it's any diff parts stuff needed than the hooligan. Dint wanna buy it to fibdout I need to replace the amp speakers ect.

How to connect wires

Hi All,
New to this forum. I'm trying to help a friend install the Hualingan in his x5. He has the oem nav with DSP. I have read all 34 pages. I was wondering if a dsp converter could be used instead of moving the factory radio to the trunk. There are a number of them out there for aux, usb and ipods. Here is an install video of one of them; DICE BMW iPod Kit DSP Adapter Install: E39 5 Series, E53 X5 - YouTube Thank you Bill |
Romeo kc10 that's what this tread is about the original post was a guy who did it with fact dsp, it works. He told me the dynavin will work just like the hooligan no need to bypass the dsp amps ect. He seems like only one to do it anyone else had sucrss??

Oh, got it, try these two links. http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...rough-diy.html http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...placement.html |
The second link is for bypassing the stock dsp amp and wiring your own amp which this thread isn't about. The first thread is still using the stock dsp amp however has low audio levels
|
Just finished reading this - in two hours!
I just bought this to my E53 2002 with Navi screen no DSP. I'll let you know if it's a plug & play or not. By the way, is this Hualingan 4th gen? |
Although I was a big fan of Hualingan when it first came out with good support from the local re-seller I would consider reading this before buying.
Hualingan in car touch screen DVD Dynavin came out with an ugly design with 6.2" screen but they have a few versions now with 7" screen. Both are Chinese companies but Dynavin seems to honor the one year warranty in case you have problems. |
Hualingan installation problems
I just bought a Hualingan 4th gen for my X5 E53 2005 with 40 pin connectors (no DSP). Obviously I had to stretch a 6 meter cable harness from the trunk to the HU.
Before I installed it i read a couple of the guides in this forum. Directly upon installation, still being in the garage, it seemed like I had been successful. There was sound from from the various sources (Radio,DVD, iPod, iPhone via bluetooth, SD, USB), I could play video from DVD and the iGo8 GPS system functioned. Then the problems started. Sound from from all sources comes and goes. Mostly goes. The user interface freezes and hangs. No more video or pictures, and the bluetooth Iphone connection does not work. All the connections have been checked and rechecked to the best of my skills. Conclusion: I have found that when the engine is off and I operate the unit everything works fine, but as soon as I start the engine the system malfunctions, i.e all sound vanishes, I can´t play videos and bluetooth malfunctions etc. I have to admit that my electrical skills are far less than average. Still it strikes me as strange that it all works while the engine is off, but as soon as I start up everything stops. The HU was bought from cars-electronics.com in China. I´ve emailed them about the problem and the have asked me to take pictures and video to help assess the situation and the connections. I have not attempted to connect the "illumination" wire anywhere and as such I do not have illuminated buttons. To be honest I have no idea where to connect it. In addition I have also not attempted to connect the HU to the reverse camera (original) for the same reason. I would deeply appreciate it if anyone in here could be of assistance. The whole thing has become really frustrating, and I am seriously considering putting back the original HU and keep burning CDs. Check out video on filecloud.io here: download - filecloud.io or youtube: Hualingan installation problems - YouTube |
Quote:
I doubt there's a problem of connections. I remember that the illumination wire has some relation with the POP sound I used to hear when I click on ipod icon before some electrician fixed it for me. If I were you I'd go to a really-experienced electrician and have him checked all the connections. Let me know when happen. |
Thanks for your prompt reply, nezarnuaimat. I think you are right: I need to get an experienced electrician to have a look at it.
By the way - have you connected the illumination cable on the back of the HU to a power source? In case you have, do you remember what source/cable? And the same with the reverse camera (I have an original one), do you remember where to locate the power cable for the reverse lights? Is there anything that can be connected to the cables of the original HU. Now I have just stuffed those cables aside inside the dashboard. Thanks a bunch for sharing. Very much appreciated. |

Make sure you take this photo with you. Its different brand but has similar connections http://www.eonon.com/UserFiles/image/D5124-06.jpg Good luck ;) |
I know this is an really old stream.
My hualingan has been great, but recently the firmware has gone haywire. Does anybody know where I can find a download for the HL-8786GB WINCE 5.0 firmware. Thanks in advance |
I didn't find an exact link to what your wanting but this is a good place to look :
