Retrofit kit No. 65 90 0 306 977

Installation time
The installation time is 5.5 hours, but this may vary depending on the condition of the car and the
equipment in it.

Important information
These installation instructions are primarily designed for use within the BMW dealership organisation
and by authorised BMW service companies.
In any event the target group for these installation instructions is specialist personnel trained on BMW
cars with the appropriate specialist knowledge.
All work must be completed using the latest BMW repair manuals, circuit diagrams, servicing manuals
and work instructions in a rational order using the prescribed tools (special tools) and observing current
health and 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), an inquiry is to be sent straight away to
the technical parts support via the Aftersales Assistance Portal (ASAP), quoting the chassis
number, the part number of the retrofit kit and a precise description of the problem.
Ensure that the cables/lines are not kinked or damaged as you install them in the car. The costs incurred
as a result of this will not be reimbursed by BMW AG.
Additional cables/lines that you install must be secured with cable ties.
If the specified PIN chambers are occupied, bridges, double crimps or twin-lead terminals must be used.
All the figures show LHD cars, proceed in exactly the same way on RHD cars.
After the installation work the retrofit kit must be programmed / coded using DISPlus or GT-1 via the CIP
path.
