WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2014 BMW Alpina B7L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Shielded lines
Contact points in the shield can cause problems with regard to noise radiation and interference immunity. Consequently, distinctions have to be drawn between the following types:
Coaxial line
- Shielded RTK031 coaxial lines may only be repaired with special crimping tool for repairing the coaxial line RTK031.
CVBS lines
- CVBS lines may not be repaired.
- CVBS lines must be replaced in their entirety.
HSD lines
- HSD lines may not be repaired.
- HSD lines must be replaced in their entirety.
Optical fibre cable :
NOTE:
Optical fibre cables are colored differently as follows:
- Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibre
- Yellow = ISIS (I ntelligent S afety I ntegration S ystem) optical fibre
- Orange = repair optical fibre cables
IMPORTANT:
- Optical fibre cables are permitted to show only one separation point (bridge), replace optical fibre cables if necessary
- Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
- Avoid influence of heat = 85°
Treating cables and optical fibre cables
FlexRay:
It is possible to repair the FlexRay. In the event of damage, the cables can be joined with conventional butt connectors.
NOTE:
- The line is a twisted cable. If possible, maintain twist in line after repair.
Airbag lines:
Repairing airbag cables
Ribbon cables:
Repairing ribbon cables Z
Shielded lines (coaxial lines):
IMPORTANT:
Shielded lines may not be repaired!
- This may lead to indifferences in noise radiation and interference immunity at contact points in the shield
- To satisfy the requirements of the type approval, it is essential to replace shielded cables completely
Fibre-optic cable:
NOTE:
Fibre-optic cables are colored differently as follows:
- Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibre
- Yellow = ISIS (I ntelligent S afety I ntegration S ystem) optical fibre
- Orange=repair fibre-optic cables
IMPORTANT:
- Optical fibres may only reveal one separation point (bridge); renew optical fibre if necessary
- Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
- Avoid effects of heat = 85°
