And installed, thanks OP for the diy. Hardest part was the reconnecting the connector for the hazards and disconnecting the connector for the radio faceplate initially. What a bear.

I do actually prefer the preLCI screen font, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

There may or may not be wires already connected to pin 10 and 11 depending on if your car has HU_NBT Professional with Navigation or not. Make sure to properly connect the H to H and L to L when reconnecting and wires are not reversed.



4) change car build date (Zeitkriterium) up to at least a 2015 Model Year (07/14) in VO.

5) update car to latest istep level

6) Performed a "TAL-Calculating" and then a "TAL-Processing" to update the IHKA3 BTLD, SWFL and CAFD files.

7) Run Rheingold to clear all warnings and errors before starting your vehicle.

8) Start vehicle and run it until the A/C LED stops blinking.

Hello. I have NBT Professional in my car. F30 2013 december with IHKA.
Pins (10 & 11) on FEM A173 * 10B I have already taken.
Do I need to connect together wires from pins 22 and 23) on FEM A173 * 7B to pins (10 & 11) on FEM A173 * 10B ??
Then in one of the pins will be 2 wires ??
I think right
Best regards

You need to move to wires from where they are now to the new pins, no matter how you do it.

You can splice the wires or use a Scotch Brand T Wire Tap Connector which is what I would suggest so the KCAN2 wire is not cut.

I have to take the cable, connect the 10.11 A173 * 10B KCAN2 quick connector pins. Connect the other end of the cable to IHKA3 to pin 22.23.
Cable from old IHKA (pin 22.23) I have to disconnect from conector and connect my new cable
Am I right??



IHKA -> KCAN_H Pin 22 to Pin 34 FEM A173*7B
IHKA -> KCAN_L Pin 23 to Pin 33 FEM A173*7B

IHKA3 -> KCAN2_H Pin 22 to Pin 10 FEM A173*10B
IHKA3 -> KCAN2_L Pin 23 to Pin 11 FEM A173*10B


Best regards

I would not use those vampire taps, I would (and did) cut and solder the wires together. And yes, on the FEM connector pins 10 and 11 there are already wires there, I cut those and spliced in the wires from the IHKA3.

Hello.
And I can replace the pins, mount IHKA3 and a new climatization panel. Start the car and go to the mechanic for coding.
Something bad will happen ??

Nothing bad will break if you install the parts and don't code it but the panel may not work. I don't recall what happened in between installing and coding for me as I coded it right away.

Hello. Today I was to encode IHKA3, but esys can't see it. Everything connected. New panel attached. The blower is working, the rear window heating indicator light is blinking, the airflow directions are on LHD, I have RHD, the seat heating reverse works, the air conditioning does not turn on, the color change white and amber works.
What do you recommend ??

I changed ihka 64119311850 to ihka3 64116820235-01

and climate panel on 64119363546-02

Follow the instructions.

4) change car build date (Zeitkriterium) up to at least a 2015 Model Year (07/14) in VO.

6) Performed a "TAL-Calculating" and then a "TAL-Processing" to update the IHKA3 BTLD, SWFL and CAFD files.

I think the most important thing here is step 5, if your car isn't up to a certain level then the IHKA3 may not be visible. When I retrofit IHKA3 my 2013 production year car had already been updated to a late 2015 i-step so the module appeared in e-sys, I did not have to do step 6 (aka flashing the module). I only had to inject cafd and it worked.

At the beginning of the year, the car was refined to the latest version. then the mechanic coded a 6wb speedometer for me. I think it's newer since 2013

Hello. How will the production date change to 07/14, update the car to the latest level, then there will be no problem with the rest of the modules ??

I have the same "problem". My F34 is from November 2014, BimmerCode also shows IHKA_VA02, not IHKA3.
Can I try use LCI panel (64119363546) or is not possible?

Same here, nothing on this? I believe I'm the 3rd or 4th person asking this from reading the thread. Can any of you gentlemen from Bimmercode chime in on this? I tried this with pn: 9363545-02 as my 328 didn't come with heated seats since I'm in Miami, could it just be the part number I'm using? I kinda didn't want pointless buttons for my non existent heated seats, tbh it would just really bother me if they didn't light up which is why I opted for no heated seats button. I have a build date of 11/2014 so it should work but it's still just white, no amber

Turn the lighting down and it will change to amber... until you can code it with bmwai or eSYS?

You don’t, and this isn’t about that.

You need to retrofit all the lights to have that and vo code the light package to get the option is my understanding.
