Thanks, this is a good start. Any chance you can give me a location to center of port.....x inches above bottom, y inches from front side?
I don't want to make a hole at the wrong spot. |

I personally would never trust the measurements from someone else. Why not go and "look" at the used BMW dealer? Drive up there and ask if you could test drive a used one; go down the road, take all the pictures and measurements you want, go back to the dealer and drive home in your vehicle with all of the information you could ever ask for.

One step further, go to dealership and find one you like and drive it home, done.

Hi,
Did this retrofit to my 08 4.8 already 2 winters ago. Here's where I put mine... For me, there was no science to it, just where it fit and there was clearance for it. Enjoy!

Thanks for the pic. Looks like that's in the left wall of the glove box....correct? I agree location isn't critical, I just wanted to know where the factory put the port so I could try there first.
There's on other aspect of the retrofit I'm not clear on, did you have to change the connector on the iDrive harness to mate to the late iDrive controller? I've bought the connector but I'm getting different stories on whether it's neded or not. Last edited by pshovest; 04-22-2015 at 03:05 PM. Reason: forward to left |

Correct, it's on the left side wall of the glove box. I centered it front to back and just above the ridge that is about 1/2 way down the side wall.
I don't remember to be honest, but I'm pretty sure that the "kit" that I bought (from a donor 2012 X6M) came with the correct cable/connector included... Sorry.
