Retrofit instructions: Installing a Sport Heated Steering Wheel, BMW X5 E39 2001 – 06
8
Reinstall the airbag connectors to the airbag that
goes with this steering wheel.
If your current steering wheel is the same, then
your current airbag will work perfectly fine.
Congrats, your new steering wheel is installed, but
you are not done just yet! You still have to connect
the other end to supply power to the heat function.
You can reconnect the airbag fuse at this point and
start the car to straighten the wheel if you choose.
Open the glove box and disconnect the light. The
light should be on the inner side close to the latch
and should easily snap out. There are no screws in
place.
On the left side there is a plastic arm that slides
down. Lift the glove box just a touch and remove
the plastic rivet holding it in place. This should just
slide out to the left.
On the right side there is a small rubber stopper.
Pull it outwards slightly allowing you to release the
glovebox and lowering it.
