The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[justinwilson77]

Also interested in this! I want Bluetooth!

I know which module you are referring to and I don't think that is the Bluetooth module, but I could be wrong... The reason being it looks quite big to be a Bluetooth module and the Bluetooth module should have a sticker which shows the pairing code etc... I'm assuming yours doesn't have the sticker with the pairing code etc cause mine doesn't too...

This is what mine looks like I believe.

This end is facing the rear of the car.

Interested in the Bluetooth discussion. My car has nav, but no Assist so no Bluetooth, and not interested in spending $678 on it. Might have to be an eBay pickup at some point.

OK, so two random ZHP questions....

1) What's the consensus on the guibo/flex disc? My car only has 44,000 miles on it, but it's also going on 12 years old. I know rubber gets pretty hard over time. The reason I ask is the car will be on stands on a week or so getting wheels refurbed and I'll be under the car doing FCABs, and I was think of a couple of other easy things to do while I was under there. I don't want to just throw money at stuff unnecessarily, though. Has anybody changed it and noticed a significant difference in NVH?

2) When I get out of my car, there's quite a creaky sound coming from the left-rear suspension. I know it's the suspension unloading, but the creaky sound sounds like a pie tin or sheet metal. Any thoughts on mitigation? I should probably do a rear suspension refresh at some point, but it's down the list a little.

Thanks!

I think you have bluetooth as well. Look in your owners manual for a card like this:



It should also have a manual like this:



The bluetooth receiver is on the driver side of the boot, behind the lining. Should look like this:



The next question is how to reset it. Every time I try to go through the pairing procedure it starts dialing using the original owners phone number, which is out of service. It takes me to a Verizon error message that repeats but it doesn't let me rest it or pair.

I thought that isn't the Bluetooth module and there should be another module next to or on top of it, which should be the Bluetooth module, no?

Negative, that is the bluetooth module. theres two different types. This one is the TCU and is the standard bluetooth module for vehicles with BMW assist.

The ULF is the standard module for vehicles with nav:

Just realized that the vin on that bluetooth passkey card is not my vin. I used vin decoder and found out it came from a non zhp 330i that was made in 2004 as well. However, it has the same tech and connectivity packages as mine. I suspect that the previous owner bought this manual online and it came with that.

I don't think I have BMW assist based in the vin decoder but I do have the same module as you in the same location... Now I'm confused... Here's a pic of my option list-



Im guessing that the PO installed it...

Very interesting...I'm confused as well. What happens when you press the sneezing man button on your steering wheel? Also, could you take a picture of your module to compare to mine? I'm curious if it has the same cables hooked up.

When I press it first it yells out "sorry" and when I press it again it yells "system off"

That's not very German.
