Hard disk on CIC unit failed
Discussion
Hello,
The HDD in my CIC unit on my 2012 BMW X5 has failed, its frozen on the menu screen. Ive tried rebooting many times but it looks like the HDD has broke.
I dont think any info can be retrieved off it, so cloning may not be possible.
I can buy a new TOSHIBA HDD 80GB MK8050GAC from amazon for £29 but obviously its not formatted to work.
So the question is, is there any person or companies that can format the new HDD to allow it to work with an E70? can they be coded if i give the VIN?
I found a company in Romania that can supply a new formatted and coded with my VIN HDD for approx 250 euros.
My knowledge of modern electronics is very poor, I struggled to even search for specialists.
Any pointers greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Alan
