Do we have any sort of a list of the upgrades BMW did to the parts on our cars , but Land Rover never had ?

I'm thinking ;

1) Mk4 DVD based Sat Nav

Is DVD based, so much faster operation and has more areas covered on a single disk. With later updates, you can have a 3D map perspective view and postcode search. You will lose the Off Road Navigation facility though, and the Navigation voice changes slightly.

The units have "DVD" printed on the front of them.

2) Digital hybrid TV Tuner

Allows you to receive Digital Freeview television in your car. You will need this as the analogue signal gets turned off in the UK.

3) Crankcase Breather Filter

The original foam based filter can get blocked and cause turbo failure amongst other things, if not chenged regularly. BMW redesigned the unit to just be like a plastic cone vortex, so can never block.

I think you can just replace the filter part, though you can replace the whole unit if you prefer.

The part number I have is BMW 11127799224

For the filter only, its BMW part number 11127799367 "Oil Seperator"

4) ULF Bluetooth phone module

Allows your car to automatically connect to your mobile phone using bluetooth, you then have a very expensive 4 wheel drive hands free kit !

Dont bother with a 1st or 2nd Gen ULF, get the newest one you can.

5) Upgraded microphone

The newer unit has noise cancelling built in, so your voice is clearer to those who listen to you speak on the phone.

there must be more ?

i dont think there is ..maybe you've just started one..  ..............................




this is handy

As Scarey said

Stick Part numbers on as well and what the upgrade has that is better than the standard unit  FFRR 2005 facelift With an SC Grille and that's it!

I have just re-edited my original post with the information I have.

Obviously, more detailed specific information can be found using the search facility.

I understand there is an upgrade to the BM54 radio/amp module, but can't see much about it.......

(UPDATE 7/3/12) I have had my amp upgraded and done a thread here ;

I know it's not electrical, but one of the best bang for buck BMW sourced mods I've done is the BMW storage/first aid bins under the seats....

More details please  FFRR 2005 facelift With an SC Grille and that's it!

What, of the bins?

See this thread:

http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/6-range-r...d-box.html

auto lights with rain sensor  V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.
1976 Harley Davidson Iron Head Sportster

Mine has the first aid storage bin under the passenger seat complete with unused and sealed Land Rover first aid kit in it, I thought they would have all had this? Reformed

I think mine has, too.

Auto lights and rain sensor. I like that a lot! A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

I'll have to check that first aid kit but mines half ford bits  FFRR 2005 facelift With an SC Grille and that's it!

Here's my underseat first aid box.

Nothing in it, though. Luckily, I have a few new travel kits that I constantly nicked out of my Australian HiLux 'ute when I was working over there last year...

Hi

I'm interested in the mic upgrade.

See my post here;

http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post106984.html#106984

Did you have the same round ford mic as i have to start with - or did you have the older BMW one and replace it with the new BMW one?

Thanks

Hi mate,

I have the BMW microphone, as my car is pre-touchscreen.

I don't know much about the Ford system, but as your thread states, a brand new microphone from the Ford dealer has the same issue as the original one, so I'd imagine it has not been upgraded at any time.

Perhaps others with Ford parts can help.

The BMW unit has 3 connections ;

Positive input signal microphone (voice input)
Negative input signal microphone (voice input)
Shield wire connection

If the Ford setup uses these, you could in theory interchange microphones perhaps ?

Cheers

Hi

Thanks for that.

The mic i have has only 2 wires - red and black. Not sure what a shield wire is.

I've just ordered the crankcase breather filter too!! Now see what you've started.

I fitted the egr bypass last week, and got a new hybrid tuner the week before - so keen for another project...
