Ugur Ekim says:

how do you have white background color on your instrument cluster?

arlind ballazhi says:

Great job very prof. 

Iyad Nasser says:

is there any contact between the two wires i conect for light and bottons
control? thank you again?

BMW 3 Series says:

if your car isn’t installed with the buttons for controlling radio and
cruise control, the car hasn’t the wirering harness that it needs. I guess
BMW saved a few cents by leaving out the 3 wires for the cruise control.

Iyad Nasser says:

yes i use OEM BMW radio i will take a picture for it and send you to be
sure if it’s the kind witch work and thank you so much

BMW 3 Series says:

To be able to control the radio, all you need to do is push in the two
connectors behind the airbag. Well actually one is for the LED light in the
buttons on the steering wheel and the other connector is for all the
buttons on the steering wheel. You don’t have to connect anything else to
control the radio (I asume you use the OEM BMW radio)

Iyad Nasser says:

hi i try that on my bmw 318i 2002 but i didint conect the motor wire and
control the radio didint work i must conect the motor wire? thank you

mhansford74 says:

Why did you have to tap into the wire harness? I did this on my 03 e46 and
I only had to remove my old wheel and plug the new sport wheel in. Just
curious.

Mark Seth says:

Hi, I can do this for BMW E46 (facelift) 318i from 1999? Thank you.

BMW 3 Series says:

I think you will also have to upgrade the throttle body

PavilloN says:

when its givin this sound RPM goin down 🙁

BMW 3 Series says:

ok, sorry but not easy to diagnose without beeing there. Hard to localize
from where the sounds are comming

PavilloN says:

thank you soo much for ur answer and i have problem for my bmw.(help
please) /watch?v=INNomTh4oPs have u any idea?

BMW 3 Series says:

I was told you need also to change the throttle body before you can have
cruise control.

PavilloN says:

Have u cruise control before or not. bcouse i have 2000 model 3.20i. if i
make this can i use cruise control?

BMW 3 Series says:

it sounds like the heat shield on you exhaust has gotten lose. Worse is if
the catalytic converter has broken inside and you will have to replace it .
Of cause I can’t be 100% sure, but so it sounds to me

BMW 3 Series says:

I ordered it directly from my BMW stealer

Malik Shakur says:

ich danke dir für dieses top video! schau auch mal meine an 😉

Faraz says:

What an orginal piece of work. You motivated me for doing it on my 2005
model 318i. I am back in UAE so I can’t say if I can buy this facelift
steering. (we don’t have ebay yet!).. I didn’t skipped a single part of
video but I think you never showed the main cruise control module getting
connected. Lastly mine is Gasoline, while your model seems Diesel, would
that make difference? I mean where can I find DDE equivalent. (sorry for a
stupid question)

BMW 3 Series says:

Hi, The plastic insulation for the connectors is contained in the BMW
wiring harness kit you will need from BMW. No. 61 12 0 016 012 Kit contains
3 wires with sleeves, male and female connectors and sleves for old and new
versions to the DDE connector. Just all what you need.

BMW 3 Series says:

You need to cut the VI/GE and the WS/RT/GE wires Sorry that Youtube is
blocking the link to the MFL stearing wheel manual, but its easy to find
using Google

SashKo says:

i have BMW 318d 2003 !!can i put a Cruise control and other??

DenHond says:

Would love to get the cruise control on my E46, but seems to be to much
work for me 🙁

Bojackal says:

Hi, Is it the same installation on a 2002 318Ci ? The part I need for
cruise control has the number 61120016012 : you can buy it from anywhere ?
I’m thinking about doing it thanks to your great video :p

Gabriel Gobolyos says:

nu am niciun fisier remaped. Eu chiar as fi curios daca o sa mearga
schimband ecu, si eu m-am gandit la varianta asta. Problema esta ca trebe
schimbat si EWS si cheile, sau ma rog cipurile din chei.

Gabriel Gobolyos says:

in ce program ai vazut asta?

BMW 3 Series says:

Yes I’m danish 🙂 Ty

teebeaubobo says:

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe you’re Danish. Congratulations on
this very detailled tutorial!

Kal Lutato says:

Hi Mondeo984, In your video from about 14:36 until 16:10 you are plugging
the cable connectors into some black plastic housings. What are the black
plastic housings called and where can I get them from? They did not come
with the steering wheel that I ordered from ebay (it was second hand).
Thanks in advance
