They will fit just fine. I have done the retrofit on my pre lci car which is a 2004 model with success.

Doing a Pre-LCI here, finally which pins did you use on 11011 connector on the fusebox?

Thanks.

Actually BMW didn't use the 11011 connector from the fuse box. Instead they used a pin shown from the picture below and also added a 40A fuse in the slot.



Unfortunately i don't have any pics of it, since i haven't done it by my self but instead BMW for me (following Hermann's - Alex guidance).

Thanks for the reply, so we are getting direct power from battery with a 40A fuse in between, this simplifies things a lot for me, as i already have power routed from battery to the dashboard for other purposes.

Why not just use the x11011. Then you dont need the 40A fuse. The fusebox is ready for it.

I would never install anything in my BMW E60/E61 directly from the battery

I agree with you, don't know why they have chosen that position instead of x11011. Maybe BMW didn't have pins for the x11011 socket hehehe Taking power directly from battery is really dangerous and there is no need to, since there are many places from the rear trunk fuse box where you can acquire power(+12) while the car maintains "sleeping mode" unaffected.

Hi Hermman!

Would you mind reposting them? It seems they are no longer available on the server!

Hello buddy, unfortunately bmw has "downloaded" every online diagram like wds or tis and there is no longer available of that kind of information anymore. I have a wds version on a cd but it's on my region language (Greek). I'll try to upload tomorrow the diagram you requested.
