Retrofit electric tilt steering wheel
My 06 525i came with standard manual tilt steering wheel and semi-electric seat. I recently retrofitted the comfort seat already and now want to have the electric tilt steering wheel as well ( I don't need heated one cause its hot like hell where I live).
I have searched up and down but only to find DIY on those heated wheel only. Nonetheless, I gathered the below and would like to have your advice for me to proceed
Thanks for your help and I'd love to have this as Christmas gift for myself.
I have searched up and down but only to find DIY on those heated wheel only. Nonetheless, I gathered the below and would like to have your advice for me to proceed
- I have to buy an electric steering column, not just a pump as I see on realoem the movement mechanism is different
- I need to buy the whole lipsrping underneath the wheel, not just the button since the connector goes with the lipspring, not directly connected to the pump on the steering column
- I need to adjust/calibrate the SZL module and steering angle sensor to the new steering column. Would this be doable with WINKFPT and tool32?
- I need to wire the pump to to canbus and the button via LIN Bus at center console module (A169) ?
- Coding with NCSExpert for this option and automatic lift upon engine off?
