@gabeitch1487 4 года назад

before the installation did you have the cruise control buttons anywhere in car, or you couldnt turn it on at all?

@BimmerZen 4 года назад

@@gabeitch1487 No, i did not have any existing cruise controlls. You only need to retrofit the buttons on the steering wheel and it will work. All E46 have electronic throttle controll so you dont need to recode the car or add any additional hardware, only buttons and 3 wires.

hi there, i have e85 z4 without a multifunctional steering wheel and im interested in purchasing one with the multifunctioing buttons. However im not sure if it will work. Do you know what that cable with the various colours that makes the steering wheel work called?

@BimmerZen 4 года назад

From what i have seen on the internets, it should be similar procedure. You have to use 2 wires and connect the slip ring to the light switch box. The e85 have separate stalk for cruise controll, so there is no third wire. I think the OEM code for this cable is 61120394848. Just search for "e85 multifunction retrofit cable"... z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16422

On my bmw e39 facelift m54 engine my LCM is located on passenger side under glovebox and it looks similar to the e46, but on pin27 there is no cable and on pin21 there is one but not same color. I do have same wire colors but on another pin number, should I use those with same color? I have connected the cable on pin27 in the ECU but CC won’t work, or Does it work whenever I connect the two other cables to LCM?

@KundaCro 3 года назад

Hello, so i ordered buttons for my steering wheel, and the same wires and connectors you used. I did everything as you, step by step.. But nothing works, neither the buttons for radio nor cruise control (because I dont have electronic gas pedal so no worries there). Only thing that does work is lights of buttons light up orange like everything when turning on the lights.. I have E46 Coupe 2001 87kW 2001 with M43B19 engine.

@sk8dude112 3 года назад

@Rns555 2 года назад

So the connection to the wires for the multifunctions comes pre installed from the factory? You just need to buy the multifunctional buttons? If so do you know if the E39 is the same, thanks!

Hey bro , one question. I have same steering wheel on my e46. Every time I press the “ volume down “button, but results in next track when I listen to the radio. What might went wrong on my media control? Thanks in advance.

@BimmerZen 3 года назад

Sorry, I don't know what your issue is. I would check that the wiring on the slip ring connector inside the steering wheel is correct (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eD3j1VFM-dY.html). Maybe some pins are mixed up...

@erikzagric4605 3 года назад

Your PN references a steering wheel: For vehicles with Interior trim finishers, matt chrome S439A=Yes 01 Airbag sport st. whl. lthr multifunction SCHWARZ/CHROM Parts catalogue also states that: Cover panels for wooden and aluminium sports steering wheels do not fit on sports steering wheels with plastic covers and vice versa. If you are just replacing the complete steering wheel it should fit. All upper covers with buttons fit on all E46 3 spoke sports steering wheels. But not all lower covers fit on all steering wheels.

@ivanparedesramos4568 Год назад

hi BimmerZen, i was succesful at installing all commands and it all worked, i changed the airbag with a new one with the same shape and make sure all the connections were snug and tidy and i worked always with the disconected battery, but i get the airbag light on... i'm soooo afraid that the thing could explode on me... another thing is that while i'm try to remove the cluster to repair the clock the daylights turn on, is it normal? please help... i'm getting obsece with the thing... thanks

Did you turn on the ignition on to test before you installed the airbag? If so, error will be stored in the ECU and airbag light will turn on until you reset the code.

Check the wire going to the ECU box. Check for continuity form steering wheel buttons connector to the ecu wire. Check if you used the right pin in the ecu connector.

Hi! Will this work on a 2006 M3 CS? I'd love to have radio controls on steering wheel.

@BimmerZen 3 года назад

Yes. MSS54 ECU has pin 27 for MFL on X60004 (40 pin) connector.

but the i/o controls M sport mode on the cs wheel... instead of turning cruise control on or off. How will it operate in this instance?

Hi what wires size and lenght is this, how can i do it without mfl adapter

@AladinTechnology 2 года назад

did you delete comment for wire size, what was it

@jernejmencin4617 2 года назад

@@AladinTechnology I don't know what you mean by "how can i do it without mfl adapter"...? I don't know exact wire length and size, I bought a MFL kit from ebay (link in description). I think 0.50 - 0.75 mm2 on the size and two wires are about 1 m and on that goes to the front ecu box is a bit longer, probably 1.5 m.

@davispupols2984 4 года назад

I have a question. My bmw is year 1999 , will this work as well? Because all of the MFL wiring kit that i can find comes with only 2 wires, not 3, so im a little confused by that.

@BimmerZen 4 года назад

@@davispupols2984 from what i can understand the 323i with the M52TU engines come with a drive by cable/bowden throttle controll, but they still have electronically controlled throttle. This means you should be able to retrofit MF steering wheel, but you must still have 3 cables: two go to light switch and one goes to the DME unit at the front. You should be able to find some useful forum posts if you google multifunction retrofit for your car model.

You didn't mention the switches on the brake and clutch pedals... what about R/T and talking guy buttons? On my e39 I have factory installed cruise control but no R/T and talking guy, I put a complete panel but unfortunately is not working...

@BimmerZen 3 года назад

Sorry, I don't know what you mean with the clutch and break pedal... I don't know if this works on E39 and I never looked in to the R/T functions. I assume you need some other hardware like microphone and phone to make that work.

@florinlepadatu5648 3 года назад

@@BimmerZen R/T have to act like Mode button circles through Radio/CD/Tape/Phone - like a source selector. The talking head button normally will work if you have the phone module (witch I don't have). About cruise control - when you hit the brake or the clutch the function is suspended, the green light remains on the ike but will only resume to the selected speed if you press again the button on the steering wheel. Test if it does like that - press the brake or the clutch and see if the speed is decreasing if so press again the button to see if the car is gaining again speed and stays at the selected speed. The I/O button shuts ON or OFF the entire system. There are 2 switches at e39 that triggers the suspend state - i guess the same should be at e46

@BimmerZen 3 года назад

@@florinlepadatu5648 Yes, the E46 already has those switches on the clutch and brake pedals, so the cruise control function just piggy backs of those and disables the cruise control if you press them.
