Installation time
Installation work will take approx. 2 hours; this time may vary depending on the condition and equipment
specification of the car.
The vehicle must be updated to the latest I-level status by flashing before installing the retrofit. Differing
programming times may be necessary depending on the production age of the vehicle and on work
previously performed on the vehicle.
The installation time given does not include time needed for programming/encoding.
The total costs for the programming time should be taken into account when calculating retrofitting
costs (reimbursement through warranty is not permissible).

Important notes
These installation instructions are intended in the first instance for use within the BMW dealer
organisation and by authorised BMW Service outlets.
The target group for these installation instructions is always skilled personnel who have been trained on
BMW vehicles and possess the corresponding specialist knowledge.
All work is to be performed using up-to-date BMW repair instructions, circuit diagrams, maintenance
manuals and procedural instructions in a rational sequence and with the specified tools (special tools),
taking into account the relevant safety regulations.
To avoid unnecessary extra work and/or costs, if any installation or function problems occur,
after a brief troubleshooting session (approx. 0.5 hours), contact the following:
1. Either your national sales company or your regional office or
2. The Support team via the Aftersales Assistance Portal (ASAP) using the optional technical
parts support application.
Quote the VIN and the part number of the retrofit kit and provide a detailed description of the
problem.
Do not file the printout of these installation instructions, as there are daily updates via ASAP!
See ASAP for explanations of the pictograms.
All illustrations show left-hand-drive vehicles; proceed in the corresponding manner when working on
right-hand-drive vehicles.
