Retrofit instructions: Installing a Sport Heated Steering Wheel, BMW X5 E39 2001 – 06
6
Remove the power steering stalk from the old
column switch
There is a small plastic tab on the opposite side
holding it in place. Simply lift this tab gently and
slide out the stalk.
Picture shown is with the power steering stalk
removed.
Next remove the indicator stalk and the wiper stalk.
These simply snap into the column switch.
You may have to hold down the plastic tabs with a
screwdriver to remove the stalk. Be careful not to
break the plastic tabs!
Transfer all three stalks to the new steering column
switch that you purchased.
Be sure the new switch has the two pins required
for the retrofit before proceeding!
BMW has the same part number for the steering
column switch however some came with the pins
and some did not. Be sure you have the right part
before proceeding.
Plug in all the connectors just as they were on the
old switch. Here you see the new connector for the
heated wheel. Plug this into the back of the column
switch.
