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.
