Hey guys,
Here is DIY on how to install BMW Performance Steering Wheel. It is not very difficult you just need to take your time and pay attention to what you are doing.
Tools:
1. Not very big Flathead Screwdriver
2. 16mm or 5/8 socket with wrench and extensions
3. T25 torx socket ( i think it is T25 but I might be wrong)
4. Very small flathead screwdriver
5. 10mm socket
If you are local ( Bay Area ) I can install it for you
This DIY is for you just to look/read and get an idea on how it can be done. I am not encouraging you to do this installation. I will not be responsible for anything that might happen to you, your vehicle, or anybody who might be helping you, or anything else.
Before you start taking everything apart you need to read PDF Instructions in the Post#3 at the bottom and get familiar with it. Make sure you understand what goes where. After you did that, I would recommend to label supplied BMW harness with A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6, and A7 tags. It will be easier to figure out what goes where.
1. Disconnect your Battery and make sure your (-) Negative terminal will not be touching battery
2. Remove lower plastic panels on both sides (passenger/driver). I just have picture of the passenger side
Driver side
3. Read PDF instruction and unplug Blue connector
4. Release the side tabs and pop off the Black/Grey connector that is inside the Blue one.
5. Read PDF installation and remove
Blue/Red wire from
Pin1 and
Red from
Pin2. Insert
A3 into
Pin1 and
A4 into
Pin2. Now install wires that you removed from
Pin1 and
Pin2 into Connector
E
