Seems like there is a misconnection. Check your pin assignment according to my scheme in post #2.

I've personally never done that nor have any experience. So I'm not able to provide further information.

Folks
I have a RHD (not sure if that even matters) 2012 F30 328i and recently had the LCI gloss black trim installed. However - post installation I realized there is a gap between the trim and the buttons . See picture here : https://ibb.co/bKJQdA I checked with the installer and he says that : 1. He had installed the original LCI panel and all his customers have the same gap 2. The reason there is a gap is because the radio buttons had changed (for what I am guessing the later LCI models?) Can anybody confirm Thx |

There are small guides for the control buttons to slide into the LCI panel. He missed those guides, which causes this gap (see attached picture). He needs to reassemble it.

May be a bit over my head with FEM module .. Was thinking of getting power for footwell light from roof light circuit Don’t think this will be adequate for the illuminated LCI AC/radio trim ? |

You could do that, but I think the overhead ambient lights are always on an not switched with the lights. Not sure though.

If I'm not mistaken those $55 cables are almost identical to JST male to 2x female connectors, with 3 cables between them?
Wouldn't something like this work? If I find the trim at a reasonable cost here in the UK I'll try this cable out first, can't find the harness cheap anywhere but China (slow delivery time). Otherwise it's under £40, which is almost the cost of the trim... Last edited by KTE; 11-12-2018 at 06:28 PM.. |

How do you remove the climate control and the radio buttons from the previous trim to put in the new trim? I have a '14 F30 335 and it's all one piece and I don't see an easy way of removing them.
Thanks EDIT... then I found this link https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=468 Last edited by rayfl; 11-12-2018 at 01:12 PM.. |

Ok, to confirm my suspicion any cable similar to the above will work with a very minor modification. Was quite busy lately with a business trip so couldn't visit a BMW dealership as I really did want to piece this together my self (just for the satisfaction ). Gave the above cable a shot as it meant it was here on my return alongside my 8.8" screen and new dash trim . Had it failed, I would've detoured to BMW to/from work some point during this week. Here's what I did... As I had 2, I wasn't too worried about dismantling/exposing the 3 pin connectors (within female connector shells/covers). So for the steps:
NOTE: This is something I did without much research, so as usual as written across the forum, the above is merely for educational purposes and if you undertake/follow the above you do so at your own risk! If anyone has reason to believe the above setup can cause problems, do let me know of your concerns and I will amend pics/info accordingly. For something that cost £2.29 delivered next day, I found it a very good find and wanted to share, as eBay is full of "official BMW" cables made similarly for £40, so if this helps someone then great .

Did this mod a couple of days ago, cheap and simple. Went in blind and found the only real time consuming part was removing the Radio/AC units from the existing trim.
Thanks for the guide, wish I saw it before doing mine. |
