I have replaced the szl with a used one, new coil sprint and used heating switch. Yet to replace the steering. Had some issue with DSC getting disabled every now and then, fixed it by following the procedure to Cleaning steering angle sensor SZL.

Finally done with heated steering. The steering I bought earlier did not actually have heating. Yayy, now waiting for winter to try it out.

Hello, i have 2009 LCI e61, i have switch center with heating option, switch, i did al wirings , but i dont know if i need ECU which is in steering wheel, because etk not shoving it in this year option, its available only to Y 2005.i want to know if anyone have this in year 2008 and newer.
thank you for reply

@Hyri: For LCi you need to replace the following things:
1. Heated Steering
2. SWITCH ADJUSTER STEERING COLUMN (Remember there are two versions depending on whether you have electronically/manually adjusted steering column)
Manual steering adjustment: (61316918011, 61316947787): If you have this then you might additionally need to change the cover, as there might not be opening for the switch.
Electronic steering adjustment: (61316918020, 61316947788)
3. Coil spring cartridge (61316976395)
4. Switch unit steering column (61316968199 or 61319170225 or 61319204504)

Just replace all the parts with the mentioned parts, and you only need to code the S248A option. After replacing the coil spring and the switch unit they need to be reprogrammed to your vin and also steering angle alignment needs to be completed for proper DSC support.

Hello,


thank you wery much for reply.

i have antoher question.

i have steering wheel with heater, it has 4 pin connector. 2 wires are for heating element, and 2 for temp sensor, and if i can see , on coil spring cartreidge is 3 pin for heating or im wrong ?

i have every parts from list, im only waiting for spring and dont know where to plug these 4 pins.
because in wds is only scheme with a little box (Multifunction ecu) included in steering wheel, but in lci its not included.
i want know if i want that ecu or i only connect heater wires to spring.

thank you very much.

I think you might have a different steering. I do not exactly remember how many pins were there, but I do remember I had only two connectors from the steering, indeed one for the heating element (most likely two pins) and the temperature sensor is somehow built on that. The other connector is used for my MFL buttons on the steering and the paddles. You have another connector but that is for the airbag. On the coil spring you will see that you have only three connectors that you can connect. It might be that you have the older steering where they had the ecu on the steering wheel. Can you take a picture of the steering front and back, showing the connectors and post it.

hello, i have heater element to wheel from e65, that is another issue, but it has same numbers (heater and temp sens) as e60.

i only need this info :

plase can i ask you, if you are able to put out your airbag out from your steering wheel and tell me whre are connected your wires from steering wheel heater ? im trying to reserarch of it in all what is available for me, i have isis, rheingold and everywhere is showed old system with old ecu in steering wheel and i see old style coil spring , i also have switch center which was heating function.

many thanks for help.

Hello, i only want to need if i want extra ECU inside steering wheel for heating on LCI, i have everything on my table, only wait for help from someone from here

Sorry did not notice earlier, seems like you have the steering of E65, however, only E60, E61, E63 and E64 share the same steering and wiring, can you post a link where you see they have the same part no. I cannot take off my airbag, it is an excercise that I will not do now. But, I can assure you I have two connectors for the steering, one for all MFL buttons and paddles and another for the heating element, not three.
