Good luck!


(Pls Ben correct me if I'm wrong)



And now?
I think dealers must have guides/instructions to replace the unit in case of failure. (+ we need PDF to unmount the dashboard)

 

Are you sure, you don't need new LM?
Light module

 

BenAnd said no, because a friend of him did it without changing the LM. And it works.
Which is your experience? Pls share with us!

 

OK, nice to know...

I just need new rain/ light sensor and then programing FA-list. But who can do this programing???

 

It's like my heated steering wheel: just ask your FA-list to your dealer, use and XML editor and add "<option>610</option>" in it.
Then save the file and load it on the car (you have to have the latest Progman) by dealer's computers.

I will confirm the procedure in some days - I hope.

It's pretty simple, if you know what are you doing



PS:
I thought you already had the HUD

 

Hi Alex

Fine list you have made , it look's Okay to me , it's right you don't have to change your LM ( Light Modul ) when mounting HUD , only rain/light sensor have to be changed ( and light-control switc ).

Here just a pitcure of my latetes mode , build I-drive controller in the arm-rest at the rear seat , have just to hook it up now , and then I'm also the "boss" when sitting in the rearseat .

 

Do you remember how you proceeded?
Would you be able to write some lines to explain what to do once removed the dashboard?




ROTFL Ben, you are absurd! Completely mad

 

Hi Alex

when the dashboard first is out , it's quit easy , put in the 2 blind nite's , stick the holder a-round the pipe , now put in/down the HUD unit , screew it in with the 2 6mm bolt's and the 8mm , now re-fit the dashboard , all wirering to the HUD can be made from underneath the dashboard/steeringwheel afterworths.

Please see pic's

 

Ben, are you able to provide a list of all little parts?
As that 07147121926. When you order this kind of part it has to arrive from Germany (except USA I think). And we need to have everything on the table when we start

 

Hi Alex

I have allready posted it in another thread , but here you have them again.
