Retrofitting MF Steering wheel and cruise control in a '96 e39
Hi All,
I have a e39 523i from 1996 (September). The car does not have cruise control or multifunction steering wheel. I wanted to have both installed in my car, so I contacted my local BMW dealership. According to them, I can only get the cruise control with a control arm sitting next to the windscreen wiper arm, and it is not possible to retrofit the multifunction steering wheel. I know that it was possible to get the car with the multifunction steering wheel controlling the cruise control factory installed back in '96, so I think it is strange why it shouldn't be possible to install it afterwards... Any ideas/input? Is it true that this can not be done? Any help and input is appreciated, Thomas Petersen. |

I would have thought to retrofit a multifunction steering wheel would need a
substantial amount of rewiring and I could imagine a dealership and manufacturer declining to get involved.
