I am a total newbee to retrofitting and coding. I have read about it for quite sometime in the last 2-3 months or so.
I have an F26 (2016 production) 35d with no heated steering. I want to retrofit heated steering from X3/X4 (G01/02).
I need help with retrofitting the wheel.
1. After looking at the steering wheels and stalk/switch, there are pins 9 and 11 on the rear 12pin connector. Is there a step by step guide (idiotproof for me) to hard wire these pins into junction boxes. Or will it work if I hardwire these two pins to the cigarette lighter in the cupholder section in front of the automatic trans lever. I believe the cigarette lighter socket sleeps in a couple of minutes of stopping engine and locking the car.
2. Similar situation with the extra pins on the second connector on the stalk/switch which I believe controls the LD, cruise control etc. On X4 switch pins are present at 1,3,4,7,9,11,12 whereas the G01 stalk/switch only has pins at 3,4,7,9 and 11 - pins 1 and 12 are missing. I do not know what to do about missing pins and if at all this can be achieved. But if the Lane departure does not work, its not the end of the world, as long as steering heating is working.
I have attached the pictures of both steering wheels and stalk/switches - the first two are the current (X4 - F26) steering wheel and stalk and the bottom two are the G01 steering wheel and stalk - having arrows marked is the G01 stalk.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
