no multifunctional to multifunctional

breyton E46 · 03-13-2005, 11:09 AM

hello. today i bought a m3 steering wheel, and instaled it. so far so fine looks good feels good but here's the problem. i did not have a multifunctional steering wheel before, and now none of the buttons on the steering wheel work. they also do not illuminate. i have seen some thread's that it can be done. and al you need is a wiring harnes that goes between the steering wheel the lcm and the ecu but they are al for the cars with an electric gaspedal. but i have a m52tu engine so mine is with a cable so i think i need some other parts to tho make it al work.

has someone here done such a retrofit on a 328? and do you have the partnumbers that are requered for this?

tnx

yep i know. but tnhx anyway

i already got the lichts en the controls for the radio working. the only problem is the cruise control. i am woried that i will conect this wrong, beqause i dont have an electronic gas pedal like the 325, 330 have so i hope there is someone on the board here that can tell me something more about how it is done on a 328.

As I told you in email, I did the retrofit and it works on my 328. Just follow the .pdf

Hi, i`ve just done the retro fit but i can`t find any where to run the last wire to the ecu. any ideas ?

shd · 03-23-2005, 02:28 PM

Get the pdf and see pictures there. One of easiest diys.

mikem7709 · 03-24-2005, 01:59 AM

Have the pdf but as i have a rhd car its not very clear about where i can run the wire.
This probably is one of the easiest diy`s, I did the nav retro fit 2 weeks ago that was a bit more difficult.

As I understand you are talking about wire going to box with multiple harnesses under the hood. If it's on left side you just need to route longer wire to it. Easiest to do is run it under the hood than dissasamble everything inside.
