Ummm... that's real nice, Nelson.

 

I did get a chance to rewire pin 21 on the blue connector and swap to the CLI Climate Control.

Here are the pics of the process:

Cut wire going to pin 21 on the blue connector:



The power connector where I will be getting GND and 12V from:



Extension wires soldered on and heat shrinked:



Blue hood slid back on:



Power connector wires exposed (I didn't have any wire tabs laying around that would fit):



Everything soldered together:



Electrical tape added to power connector wires:



CLI control unit all plugged in:



CLI control unit bolted back in place:



Job complete:



Basic functions now work (A/C compressor comes on when calling for A/C and the engine cooling fan doesn't run all the time), but communication between CLI and CIC is not very complete right now.

Patryk, I'll be contacting you soon!

Nelson, sweet job on the headliner!

My ride came w/ alcantara from the factory (full leather option) and I think I get more comments/complements on that than anything else. Here's mine:

Old trim + New I-drive

 

@MEN
Looks great.Does it require any parts required that we are not aware of?

 

Old Trim and OLD I-Drive

 

Did you get a new center trim? The idrive trim also looks different.

 

Old Trim + Hand saw and rat-file = New trim

 

contact Patrys

 

Could someone confirm for me that this is the right part number for the US CIC?
