I bent some brackets, but the next owner will never notice… 😉 You guessed it: I left the CD inside again. And I knew that in the living room I only needed my mains tester and a T8 (or T9) screwdriver (this is the 4mm mini bit version).

Now I could at least order the right spare part. The unit made strange noises, but maybe this would help a bit until the spare part arrived… (It didn’t.) The QR code on the laser unit? Says exactly what’s printed besides. After demounting the CCC the type designation of the CD drive was easily found. The circuit boards use certain shapes to stay in place.

The CCC is built, like a PC, from interlocking sheet metal parts. Secont tip: don’t pull out the cable of the front panel (as depicted above) out of the interior zero insertion force socket! Or you end up dismantling the whole unit.

I started by taking apart the whole “car communications computer”, because the dealer I asked for a spare needed the part number on the drive. They have a combination torx/slot head, so my mains tester did fit. My version of loosening the trim is a bit different however: the screwdrivers are used to un-snap the clips from the top (not the side).Īnd -at least on my unit- there was no need to use a special screwdriver for the screws at the front. This was more helpful: how to replace the capacitors in your “CCC”-unit. Here you can read how to change the DVD drive (in german). …after all this was the only option of listening to MP3 CDs while still using TMC traffic information.Īs always there is information on the internet – but not exactly the same and mostly text. My 2005 535d Touring had no “EUROPlus”, so I had to do this myself. When I bought my ’04 BMW E61 545i there was a warranty, so the CD drive was replaced by the dealer, when it startet to make strange noises.
