The latest IOS6 should support MAP? I think I will try to pair an iphone 5 to see if the sms and email options will work on office menu. currently there are only contacts listed.

What will happen when I flash the latest bluetooth update from bmw.com/bluetooth ? Do I have to code some FDL again?
Updating the bluetooth firmware doesn't require any further coding. It just handle the devices you connect to it better/support for more devices (at least that should be the case)

Tried, no video play yet. I'm guessing this is part of 6NR BMW Apps, which require hardware changes (and/or FSC code) to make this work

s866a language version, trad. Chinese
s866a language version, chinese simpl.

In order to make the car register the change in FA do I need to VO code some unit or ideally it would just enables language support??

You will definitely have to code HU_CIC (kombi & CMB_media will be optional)... but since you're just "testing to see if the font exist", i guess HU_CIC will be sufficient. If doesn't work and have to revert you have less to undo.

I am doubting Aupeo! knows this problem and deliberately tweak the encoding of those characters to make them display correctly on the CIC - so my guess is for our EU/US spec CIC the system uses ANSI or ISO as character encoding rather than utf8. but further tests are needed to verify these theories.

I am getting frustrating about this as it is deemed to be a very very basic functionality and since in the NBT it does support CJK, BMW certainly has realised that the necessity of this.


Finally @kon, you mentioned about removing country controller in FA and set the country flag to Hongkong sometime ago. Could you please kindly shed some light about how this could be done? After you have performed this what happened? Many thanks.
The part prices are ex.taxes (e.g. there's no tax in HK) & priced in euros. It assumes u're ordering the part at a German dealer.
AFAIK the PRC-spec CIC has a higher GPS margin of error (due to laws in China), plus it's not available with DAB+ (even tho it's on-air in PRC & HK).
Don't even think abt adding HK country controller to the VO, it disables album art & office. Wht the guys did was removing HK country controller & then changing one of the ecu's locale to HK. The aim is to re-enable office & album art (removing VO) & re-enabling chi support when idrive is set to eng (changing locale, necessary after removing VO), & it works on HK-spec non-nav F10 & F30 (Asian fonts support already built-in regardless of language setting before coding).
Kon already tried changing locale & it didn't work for him.

I have 6NH, 6WA and 606 as options.

I thought, I give VO coding a try even the car is leased. So I added 614, 615 and coded to HU_CIC. I now see some new menus available in iDrive, however BMW Live still says I have inactive browser so I shall contact dealer to activate.

Also, by adding 614 and 615, ONLINE_BROWSER remained nicht_aktive while ONLINE_BROWSER_LIVE is switched to aktiv.

Do you guys think if I enable ONLINE_BROWSER to aktiv, then 614-615 related functions start working?

In belgium, online configurator shows 6WA, 6NH as prerequisite to 614. 6AL (BMW Live) requires only 6NH, so in theory this should work...

Thanks.

Thanks @clarence. what a sad news.

I tried everything i could, no avail.

Looks like you are right, the difference for asian and eu/us CICs is in the system level. i was so confident that it could work was because i remember a while ago when i looked at the system architecture paper for QNX and learnt that unicode and international localisation is outofbox in the kernel level so there must be a way of enabling it, it is unfortunately we probably can't do it via changing FDLs.

@shawn, do you still have the info regarding telnet or ssh into the cic terminal? lets be hardcore on this shit.

thanks everyone.

You also need to code CMB_MEDIA, this is controlling what can pass through bluetooth, HU_CIC is just what you see on screen.

For BMW Live, you can also add 6AL or fdl code ONLINE_BROWSER_LIVE will give you the same result.

There is a language update menu currently disable, i didn't try enabling it as i have no clue how to proceed from there...

If CMB_MEDIA is another ECU, then I don't have this.

Yes, indeed. My above post wasn't completely correct. I also added 6AL, and now have ONLINE_BROWSER_LINE = Aktiv

your option is similar to pixelfreak (1-2 pages earlier) as he has 6NH but he has CMB_MEDIA, can you check in your boot if you physically have the combox located in the boot right behind the seat (you'll have to lift the floor board to unveal all the goodies lying beneath them. If you do, I cannot understand why you cannot see CMB_MEDIA (are you sure?)

you have business nav (606) instead of prof nav (609), so maybe that is the difference that maybe results in you not having the combox.

I will have to leave with in the good hands of other similar to your config/spec to advice. Sorry!

No probs, and thanks for all the advise!

In the meantime I did a few other changes based on what I could gather fom previous posts and I'll see if anything gets activated over night...

ykau just confirm enabling MACRO_PIM will bring out Office menu, but not sure if the HKG unit is coded correctly by default to take office. For Singapore car at least, even with Country Controller in place, which disable the Office menu, changing MACRO_PIM alone will activate office function in full.

And I'm pretty sure there is just 1 or 2 settings in CMB_MEDIA to enable album art although doing it by removing HKG country controller will make things easier and faster.

I think if we remove VO then when the good guys at Sime Darby decides to update software the coding will remain afterwards. I will probably give it a go later when I get the cable, I mean using MACRO_PIM alone.

I changed my VO from 6NH to 6NK and got the Bluetooth audio and album art working but whenever I go to office, I do see the messages option but it just keeps saying "Updating list" and when it's done, I get "No Messages".

I'm using the iPhone 5 on IOS 6.0 so not sure why it's still not working. Just about any combox should have this functionality right?

As already mentioned, I successfully went from 6nh to 6nk. My next plan is to activate BMW Online Browser and pass the data through bluetooth. Which FDL must be coded to achieve this?

Thanks a lot for the great help already
