Telematics Control Unit Help

Minton444 · 10-18-2021, 02:21 PM

Has anyone taken apart their TCU and fix whatever made it go bad? I was given two and yup they are both bad so now I have three of these' including my original, so I don't care about opening one and trying to fix it. Why you ask? Why not! I have three dead ones. Any help would be great.

I am also curious what impact a partial of full TCU failure would have on an early model E60, would it effect iDrive or Navigation?

Any thoughts are very appreciated.

In my car I lost the sos feature, all audio, of course Bluetooth, navigation, it's part of the most network so it cause my amp and cdc to fail too.
