Hi everybody.
I'm looking for some time now specs, how to upgrade my e61 (535dT, production 03/2005) with:
- auxillary heating: which parts exactly do I need. If I read ETK correctly I need items 1,2,6 and 7 from:
http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E60/Seda...pendent_heater/
- HUD upgrade. Here I need (I presume) all of this: http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E60/Seda...ead_up_display/. But...:
- would I also have to replace the dashboard, or can I just have the hole cut out where it is already marked?
- is it necesarry to replace the front glass?

As far as the HUD retrofit, it can be done but is a major project. Take a look at the following post and some of the ones that follow it:

I think you have to change the dashboard and the windscreen,because cars with HUD need a special windscreen with a foil inside the glass.
You need also everything rewired and not to mention the costs...

Yes, there is a special windshield but if you follow the link I posted above, you'll see that it's not mandatory, just recommended. As far as the cost, that's clearly an issue but the OP may have hit the lottery or something... ![Wink](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/wink.gif)

What about auxillary heating? Can anybody state if I stated correct parts and that there is nothing missing?

It can be done and it has been done by two European members.
Hopefully I will be the third.
You can easily cut the dashboard

What? Your HUD dosen't work? Have you tried to code with NCS expert?
??
I don't have it yet Vekkuli.
When I will retrofit it, once installed everything obviously I will have to add the code in the FA then program, by NCS or by SSS+file.
Can't understand your reply
