///M Cruise Control - Myths & Legends Busted - Retrofit DIY HOW TO!!

[john-e89]

The first owners should be shot for omitting the £150 option of the cruise control. Who in their right mind pays £45k for a car and won't spend £150 for a cruise control?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Tight feckers..... :x

Where are you in the south east?

 

[Pastry]

[srhutch]

Miles away then.

 

[bmwaddict]

Me too! Seems there's a market for someone willing to fit this in west Herts/east Bucks for us electrophobes...

 

[Pastry]

Any excuse for a drive down to the south coast if you fancy having another go ?

 

[srhutch]

Might be able to help in a couple of weeks (sat/sun)

Much appreciated Im going to have a look myself anyway but I have no idea what an ECU is let alone what it looks like or can be found, same for a LCM Im happy with fitting the stalk though :lol:

 

[srhutch]

ECU end is easy. The LCM is the worst part. Only because I couldn't get the loom past the dash so was working behind.

TBH I think you could use the same connectors I used for the ECU to connect to the LCM which would negate cutting the two wires. You would just cut the CC loom before fitting making much easier to do.

 

[Pastry]

Excuse my ignorance but is the LCM easy to identify? Which panels/trims do I need to remove to get to it?

 

[srhutch]

LCM = Light control module, which is you light switch. Two credit cards between dash trim and dash surrounding LCM and insert screwdriver between the two cards. That will easily remove trim without risk of damage.

More than happy to surpervise if you want to give it a go but want some support.
