Retrofit instructions: Installing a Sport Heated Steering Wheel, BMW X5 E39 2001 – 06
5
NOTE:
IF YOU SEE TWO PINS INSIDE THE
CONNECTOR, YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE
THIS SWITCH AND YOU MAY SKIP THIS STEP.
If there are no pins visible, you need to replace the
steering column switch. Proceed to the next step.
Using a small torx screwdriver, remove the 4 screw
holding the steering column switch.
The column switch should come off easily. Remove
all wiring connectors from the back of the switch.
Take the steering column switch off completely.
If your car is pre-wired for the heated steering
wheel, you will see this small red connector taped
back behind the steering column switch.
NOTE:
IF YOU DO NOT SEE THIS CONNECTOR –
STOP AT THIS STEP. YOUR CAR IS NOT
PREWIRED.
You will have to tap into a switched power supply
such as the cigarette lighter and run a separate
cable to the connector behind the column switch.
