Paddle shifter retrofit
I successfully completed retrofitting a heated Sports steering wheel with paddle shifters to my 2012 LCI X5 without the factory Sports Package.
Based on my research into this retrofit, I was concerned that it wouldn't work because I didn't have the Sports Package. I had previously confirmed that the wiring was in place (5VDC between pins 4 and 6 of connector x01003 in the steering wheel). Basically, I just swapped steering wheels, added $2XA to the VO, and went out for a test drive. The paddles worked exactly as I had hoped. I'm pretty sure the steering wheel is BMW part 32306797911. I paid $225 plus shipping from eBay, and $38 for a knock-off airbag cover. I'll replace it with an OE airbag cover as soon as I can. |

Had to jump it again, but zero issues running the last two days. Still need to recalibrate the seat, but otherwise no warnings. I drove around watching voltage using an OBD2 adapter (also ordered a cigarette lighter voltmeter) and things looked normal to me. Still possible there's a battery drain but seems like now that it's warmed up car is happy for now.

As far as what I did, I drove it through heavy rain and puddles on the highway with the new 235/60/18 blizzak dm-v2 and transformed the car to a winter warrior lol although, there was some steam coming from the front kidney grilles as I was parking it. Next night found some coolant splash residue that I thought was fixed after replacing the expansion tank. I hope it didn't fail after 2 months. I had added a few ounces of distilled water to get the level between min and max.

Connect DVR red plus wire to one of the ventilator plugs... now my DVR starts when I open door! Goes to sleep together with units. Good to not forget every time after driving to switch it off and see in the morning increased battery discharge

2XA is the option code for Sport steering wheel with paddle shifters. The dollar sign is the prefix indicating a single option. I used NCS Expert (a coding tool) to add this option to the Vehicle Order (VO) stored in the CAS and FRM modules in my car.
I'm pretty new to coding, but from what I have learned since, it is not necessary to do this. It's only necessary to add an option to the VO if there is additional coding required to support the feature. For example, when I retrofitted the heated steering wheel initially, I added option 248 to the VO so that I could enable the heated steering wheel (function LHZ) in the IHKA module. This was necessary because I ran the control wire to the climate control rather than simply grounding it. There are separate threads here and on other BMW sites that will get you started with coding. |
