vancouver: how to display chinese song names?

aw328 · 03-20-2011, 12:43 AM

Hey fellow vancouver members, im wondering if anyone of you got your system coded to allow for it to read chinese characters? Does anyone know if the dealership can do this for you or if there are any local shops here that will be able to do it?

I did one but it is not working... can you explain more detail? let see i missed some of the step... Thanks for your advise!

you can't. This requires coding with software and DCAN cables. check the new coding sub forum. there are members who offer this service. Patrys, Dimsum and another member in Calgary to name a few.

mkiv · 03-20-2011, 09:45 AM

you will need proper coding for this.

I did a search on the Coding sub-forum. There's nothing about making Chinese song name display working on the iDrive tho...

BiscottiGelato · 03-22-2011, 02:39 PM

I am eating my words, even tho it's really not in the Coding subforum but under the iDrive subforum instead...

Sorry, not familiar enough with the DRL Delete mod to know that it was a coding thread... Thanks anyways.

Hi, I have looked into this subject via diff forums. General idea is non-iDrive professional radio can display Chinese titles if you change the language to Japanese. I have done that but still get "???" when I play my music via USB. Any suggestions? Thanks
