Hey all,

I did an M Sport steering wheel conversion on my non m sport 2015 328d and everything works except the heat.

My car just has cruise control and heated wheel as options.

On real oem is says the correct part number for the heating module is 61317849393

The car is giving me an error message though and the heat does not work:



Does anyone know what I can do to get it working? Is there coding required?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you sure the steering wheel you got has the heated function? The wheel itself will have an element inside.

It's otherwise plug and play and should work. No coding required when your swapping a wheel that was already heated.

Yes, I am 100% sure the wheel I bought is heated. I've taken it apart and looked inside.

I'm leaning towards a broken/malfunctioning control unit or a loose/damaged wire somewhere

Did you get the correct wiring harness which has the connector for the heating? Or were you able to use the old?
In my car the connector for the heating had a blue wire in the harness.

Old one came with it and it didn't work. Replaced it with another to make sure and same thing.

+1. I have done a retrofit as well and I did zero coding for it. If you have another harness that you know works, you can try it out and see if that's the issue. If it's not, only other thing would be the heating element itself.

Update: Issue solved! The problem was coding.

What did you have to code? Did you have to vo code the correct steering wheel?

I wasn't present at the time so I'm not 100% sure.
