Installation information
Ensure that the cables and/or lines are not kinked or damaged as you install them in the car. The costs thereby incurred 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 pictures show LHD cars; proceed accordingly on RHD cars.
In most cases, after installation of the retrofit, repairs or a software update of the car, an image misalignment appears on the Control Display. In order to correct the picture offset the LVDS converter M must be initialized.
The initialisation is to be carried out as detailed in the separate initialisation instructions 01 290432 055.
