2009 E70 AUX/USB not working
Hi Everyone,
I bought my 2009 X5 30i in March 2022 and the AUX icon on the media screen has always been "greyed-out" in the Entertainment tab while using the idrive knob. The FM, AM, WB & CD icons are all lit and able to be selected. I never really cared because I never had a need for the AUX or USB ports within the center console….until now. I just installed an aftermarket 10.5" Apple CarPlay unit that replaces the OEM screen and has a look similar to the newer X5's. It's plug and play and works great but, unfortunately, in order to get sound, the unit requires a 3.5 aux cable to be run from the screen to the aux port in the center console. Neither the aux port nor the USB port work; I've tested them both and I've checked fuses. I've even replaced the aux/usb/cigarette lighter unit that goes in the center console and that didn't help. I did some research online and found some similar situations where the AUX jack/USB hub unit has gone. I'm not a fan of throwing money at parts, but I found one on eBay for $23 so I figured it was worth a shot. Waiting for it to arrive. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and, if so, if a bad hub unit would cause the AUX icon in the media screen to be greyed-out? Any info would be greatly appreciated! |

Hello, had similiar problem and bluetooth was not working. I replaced the video module and it worked for me. Check if you see water inside the compartment where the video module is (in the trunk on the left there is a panel. Behind the panel under the plastic tray.) If you see water, then its probably the video module. Sorry for the broken english.
