We are talking about e60 LCI with OEM high AC.
I don't have picture but i checked everything and what I say now is 100% verified in my friends car.
no wires in IHKA pin 10; 11; 12 ;13
no solar sensor in the central grill
condensation sensor is installed and wired
both sensors are coded as ACTIVE
no DTC stored in IHKA

Just to let others know this.

I had troubles doing my preLCI AC Basis to LCI IHKA High conversion. Mainly this being to my AC not working after the conversion.

I did the 21 pin mod with + on the pin into the panel and - (ground) on the wiringloom side. Did not work.

Then i read another thread saying that i would have to recode the entire IHKA (maybe it did in this thread as well, i didnt see it).

I read the trace file, found two things wrong:

E61
aktiv (my car is an E60 so it set this to nicht_aktiv

Kompressorkupplung
aktiv (pre-lci cars does not have a clutch in the same way as the LCI does, so this was set to nicht_aktiv).

This solved the troubles of AC not working.

A coding with the expert profile of the ihka might have worked just as well but this was just what i saw was different. Nothing else changed in the trace after the coding.

Anyway. Just thought I would share this. There are bound to be other people just as stupid as me when it comes to reading things completely.

Have a nice day fellow forumers.

Going to switch it off of also, doesn't work anyway as it is impos to predict how dirty the air is.

How do i turn this function off? :)

BMW reset the microfilter service for me last week, but it came back the next day.

I have done the LCI ihka retrofit, but not sure on how to remove the function of microfilter service :)

Hi guys , retrofited CCC and LCI climate control on my non lci 2006 E60 . The only problem i have now is my Auxiliary heating (webasto ) doesn't start either manually or by remote even if i can see the option in CCC , is there any other coding necesary for climate control so my webasto heating actually works ? All i get now is the regular ventilation with cold air if i press the remote . Usually if it is bellow 15 degrees outside heating should work . Thanks

So I added it as night_aktiv and no luck, its there when I read the module but the error 'no signal error from the AUC Sensor' is stil there.


Got this AUC error fixed yet Tom? According to NCS Dummy software version IHKA_60.C09 and later revisions have the AUC_MKIV parameter. Earlyer software versions dont have the parameter. Maybe you should flash it with WinkFP

No not yet, Personnaly I think its a wring problem. I connected the sensor directly to +12V in the enginebay like is described in the LCI wiring diagram as I am using a LCI AUC sensor. But since I am using a Pre-LCI control module this could not work, as in the Pre-LCI wiring diagram the AUC sensor gets its power from the AC control module.
As I don't want to open up the dashboard just for this it has to wait.

Hi
I have Automatic air conditioning S534A and Auxiliary heating S536A in my car from 11/2004 CCC and I am considering to upgrade with an LCI high (the one with auto function).
The middle socket behind the control panel is 12 pin.
Will I be needing any rewiring or is it just plug & play and coding?

Why? I wouldn't do this if I where you. It isnt't a real upgrade, and isn't plug and play. Front bezel also doest't fit anymore. Def not worth the hassle.

..deadly right, mate
btw, originally this thread was about pre-LCI retrofit but now is full of LCI 'rubbish', personally can't see the point of stuffing pre-LCI car with LCI controls as its totally not-OEM and probably won't work correctly as there were differences between wiring and other stuff but... thats my opinion :)
next week going to retrofit CCC Professional and advanced ac as well so wish me luck :)

peace, folks
