Check out my related SAT retrofit thread. Terraphantm was a lot of help in getting the firmware sorted out.

Did I read somewhere in the thread, that one can use the original surroounding with the insert of the SAT? Why I'm asking is because the version with leather is not available anymore and the one I have on the standart atomatic is a leather version. Once I disassemble everything I will see that, but decided to ask upfront

@timiboy: You can buy the one without leather as you will need the silver part where your shifter boot is going to lock and the hole for the sport button. But you can replace the side part by slowly prying the silver part out. There are latches at the bottom. I have matt black, but I bought the one with gloss black, as in the future i might replace to gloss black, that is why I replaced the side portion with the one from my matt black.

@ likhan_s & leew88
Thanks guys, that's exactly what I wanted to know
@ NoQuarter
I will check Your thread more precisely these days when I start the whole retrofit. The major trouble is that for the moment it is not clear if an "official" VO can be obtained for a 530dX featuring SAT. If not, we will have to change the VO "manualy".
