Retrofit time

Recommended Posts

Right i did a bit of a search here and a broad with not a lot of success, assumed this topic had been done to death but has anyone here done an 11 button check control to an 18 button OBC retrofit? I have aquiered an 18 button OBC and have access to all the bits i need along the way so thought i might give it ago, have heard it's easy and hard but not too fussed really, always up for a challenge.

Have done a bit of reseach on bimmerforums, there is a few topics on this, none of which have helped.

Any infomation/help will be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Yup will do cheers. Will be starting tomorrow and hopefully ending tomorrow, had to modify a plug to replace the "impossible to get" white plug, should do the trick though.

All done! Very happy with it, one or two pixels are deceased but we have a guy who repairs them so no biggy, still readable for now. Have also put the BC indicator stalk in.

Thanks Jason for the help too.

Mind the extremely shitty photos. (Not sure why they are the way they are)

The bits needed.
