Another happy customer here. My UK dealer got the fascia panel in a couple of days (£45) and I thank KTE for his excellent suggestion of an alternative and very cheap cable: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=813

Try the fourth line of your unnecessarily long quote. I also used this and the seller is a first-class guy.
If you can't work this link, go back to the original post here: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=810 |

I received my £1.89 Y connector yesterday and tried it out. It works a treat.
The male fits into the BMW female perfectly. With the females, pry off the outer sheath of the connector to reveal the body of the connector and exposing the pins. These then fit perfectly into the BMW males perfectly. A little insulation tape around each will ensure they all remain in place. Top stuff. |

I order a Y cable from ebay (£30) and the trim from BMW (£34) yesterday. Should all be here Monday
There was loads of Y cables for around £1/£2 from china, which are probably spot on but I didn't have the balls to risk it lol. |

If anyone’s interested, I have the LCI trim panel and Y cable available for sale out of my F36.
Also got the LCI AC panel with white/orange illumination. (uk) |

I've just retrofitted the LCI climate control panel including stereo and climate display.
I already have IHKA3 so just need to code the colour change. I'm planning a software update at an independent in a few weeks. Can I leave the old panel installed for this or does the original need to be fitted? |

I just did the retrofit and I made my own Y-cable. Everything works but I find that the light around the trim appears to be more white then orange even though the other ambient lights are orange. Do I need to code that it should be orange? Thanks Tony |

Is it possible that there is a problem with your home-made cable? Try setting the lighting from Classic to Sport (assuming you have that option) and see what changes. Coding should not be the cause, if it's wired to the LED under the dash, above the cup holders, and should work in exactly the same way..

Roll the brightness dial up and down at night when the dash is orange and this should change the climate panel to orange. |

The LCI controls only work if you have IHKA3 Module, which was used from 03/2014 builds onwards.

I did this mod tonight, jeez the radio/air con controls were PITA until I figured it out.
I have plastic trim tools which made the job pretty easy eventually. Nice mod. |
