Pre installation; Old setup Mounted new LCD - BEFORE CODING AFTER CODING THE SCREEN
Hey all,
I am new to MB altogether, was always a loyal BMW driver, but my last car was so problematic that I decided to switch.
The local dealer where I got the Beamer had this W213 and i liked it, some paperwork and we swapped keys.
There was just one thing, IT DOESNT HAVE A LARGE FULL SCREEN LCD?(WHAT WAS MB THINKING?)
Oh well, retrofitting time.
So far?
- Full screen LCD
- NTG 5.5 High
- New multimedia Module with a phone symbol(so i guess its high line)
- Cable for the Multimedia module
- wire harness for the ambient lighting
- Did the coding
Results so far:
Screen left side (LCD) working properly, responding to steering wheel, speedo, rpm and everything is working
Right side(LCD). pitch black, i hear a sound for 1 sec and then nothing?
Does anyone have the slightest clue? because i'm out of idea's...
PS i dont even know for sure if the NTG (navigation computer is on)
That bit at least should be testable on the main screen (at least in terms of whether a map is displayed), or even through the voice control from the steering wheel. Just press and release the voice button, wait until it beeps, and then say “navigate to..” and some location.
...and really stupid question: is the on/off switch (in the centre console) working? I tried mine out this morning; it's COMPLETELY black when switched off, but there is a backlight glow when switched on, even before the splash screen appears.

You mean the large standby symbol button? Just under the scrolling wheel right? Yes, it works. Problem elsewhere im afraid.
Did you buy the panel new, used?, is it confirmed working?
Do you have the possibibilty to borrow and swap panels from another vehicle?
I’m afraid we lack brave souls who are willing to co-operate with my madness😂
new panel, used one would be a hassle. Its weird, all fakra cables 12v. The canbus high/low is 2.2 and 2.6 so thats good.. but no reaction from the right screen.
Im searching for a donor vehical, but as you guys can figure, no one is willing to help.
Description is
x30/35 telematics CAN potential distributor?
w34 left footwell grounding point en w34/3 right footwell grounding point
But I really dont know what they are? And i'm assuming that K40 are the original factory wires, I don't have to modify them(as i'm converting from analog to digital)?
X30/35 is a CAN group connection point, usually located under the footwell carpet.
W34 simple ground points.
As far as I can see the connections are all the same regardless of screen type, does your old screen work?
If it does my guess is that the new one is defective.

old screen works, but thats with the old setup: ntg 5 audio 20, with small 8 inch lcd.
left side screen is functioning perfectly,, it makes it really hard to believe the right side is defective.
Does the attached photo help at all? (Look at it in a mirror if my RHD car confuses the issue!)
The unit is turned off (button on centre console), but the ignition is on all the way. It shows a couple of potentially interesting things:
(1) When you flick the temperature control as I did just before the photo, the HVAC system displays its settings briefly at the bottom of the (otherwise blank) display. Does yours do this?
(2) The screen behind the steering wheel is telling us the unit is off because it says (Radio off). If the system was on, it would be displaying the current radio station and playing it. Can you get yours to reflect this change of state (by tapping the button on the centre console) even though your screen remains stubbornly blank?
I don't know whether any of this is of any use to you, but as an engineer I'm an inveterate debugger!

Doesn’t do anything. Sorry guys this weekend I was abroad for business.
