Post by Smeeagain » Fri Mar 25, 2011 3:00 pm

Is it possible to retrofit this to a 2004 E53 3.0D Sport X5 ?

The answer is yes - complexity depends upon what pre-wiring is in place.

Nope - that's the one - X5Sport has it nailed.

I followed that pdf and did mine. Steering wheel hardest to get, the other two bits are the relay and the slip ring. Have to get that to get the connectors - PITA as they come in at about £80 for the two. The steering wheel is £330 new from BMW parts or eBay (if you can find it). :(

But definitely poss.

What about heated door handles? Or maybe the boot handle?
