It is a conversion cable for pre-LCI halogen to LCI halogen, because function-wise, the only thing that changed was 2 wires to AE were consolidated to 1. However, pre-LCI xenon to LCI xenon is not so simple because projector high beam became the default, and corner lights bulbs are powered at much lowered wattage than pre-LCI's high beam bulb. Theoretically, it is possible to have most of the functions work and suppress iDrive errors, but it's really not worth it, just too much work and still not get all the features.

Tempted to get the dealer to finish this bit off, I'll ask how much they will charge when I go in later this week.

looks like there are a lot of people waiting for the LM1 retrofit ( I appreciate your PM's ) ... I wont let you down , but I apologize it's not gonna be free but also not that expensive comparing to the market .
you have 2 options to buy :
1- Retrofit cable + coding = $130 + shipping.
2- coding only + retrofit cable preparation instructions = $80
for option # 1 : Shipping to USA is $30 and to Europe is $20 ,
I offer 2 versions of retrofit , ( picture is for reference ) .
Attachment 127534
1- OEM LCI style : ( LED bars at full bright 12V , Bulbs # 1&2 only on when braking , Bulb # 3 is FOG light as usual ).
2- Ehssan LCI Sytle ( Upgraded ricky effect style
) : ( LED bars at full bright 12V , Bulbs # 1&2 are FOG light bulbs works only when press the rear fog light button , Bulb # 3 is brake light bulb full birght when braking and dimmed without brake , or it can be set to completely off without braking )
anyone has any question , Please PM me ..

Sorry , the packages are no longer available for sell overseas , sorry for late replay as I was out of country .
my cable will work on both LM1 and LM2 ,, I posted the LM2 coding for free already for all the members ,, LM1 coding are not available for public ( at least from my side ) , I have sold the solution for few companies around the world who are famous in doing retrofits , and they do it for their customers ,
I have the rights to use my solution on my customers in my country as well ... that's all

Hello Ehssan,
As far as I understand, you are in Dubai. I have a friend living, so he could help me with that. Do have the cables at hand so we could make the deal locally, and if so, what would be the price for local pick-up?
Thanks in advance!
