Just an Update, I have had an ongoing issue since I picked up my new X5 with the instrument cluster and the heads up display going dark. Probably happened 20-30 times. (Happening before and after I swapped for the pre-lci gear shifter) Finally dropped the car for service, and just received a call that in order to diagnose the dashboard problem, first they must program the X5 to recognize the pre-lci gear shifter I installed. It's 265 an hour and will take 1.5 hours. Then once programed, they can investigate the dashboard going blank.
I thought of uninstalling the pre-lci, and putting in the LCI shifter before service, but decided not to. So it's my own fault, but just a heads up to anyone who did the swap, or is going to do the swap! If you need service, they will charge you, and as far as I know, there is still no software that is compatible with the LCI 2024 X5. |

I agree. Hey, I did the mod and was aware of the risk. And there is piece of mind going forward.

Latest update, They have had my X5 since Monday, and now they are telling me that the pre LCI crystal shifter can not be programmed to my vehicle. They wont move forward with diagnosing the blank dash until they have me drop off the original shifter, charge 4.5 hours to install it (took me 45 minutes) and then 1.5 hours to program. Once this is done (6 hours at $265 an hour) then they will look at the dash. Until they fix the alert for gear shifter, they wont be able to see the alerts for the dashboard and driver assist errors.
Questions. Why would the original LCI shifter need to be programmed again for 1.5 hours? Isn’t there a book or manual somewhere that would lay out the approx time to install this shifter and show it doesn’t take 4.5 hours? Cant they also see any errors or faulty alerts related to the dash going blank and driver assist not working in addition to the alert that it is not the proper gear shifter? |

When you remove the carpet trims, the next step is to remove the 2 small black star shaped screws from either side. FYI, make sure you disconnect the battery before doing any of this. If you don’t, you can completely Brick your car and have to get it towed to the dealer |

but I can still answer your question. My BMW dealer told me at first that for me to use the crystal gear shift console that I installed, they must charge me 1.5 hours to program it before they look into the actual reason I brought my X5 in. Okay I’m fine with that. They then called me back and said that they can’t program it, and instead need to charge me 2 hours to uninstall it and reinstall the original, plus an additional 1.5 hours to re program the original. Then they could look at the actual problem I was having which turned out to be sensor related. So I don’t know if they really couldn’t program it, or ultimately charging me 3.5 hours of labor was more attractive to them than 1.5 hours. But yes, they told me they couldn’t program it, even though it was working flawlessly. I already miss it |

I’m not very good at typing out instructions but I do want to help. I’m happy to speak on the phone, maybe through WhatsApp at a day and time convenient for both of us in different time zones and go over it with you. I could also try to track down the videos on YouTube. Last, if the gear console I’ve posted doesn’t sell, I may reinstall it, and I just bought a GoPro so I could video my install and share it. Send me a PM and we can discuss! |

Problem is I swapped my stock 22”s for a set of Alpina 23”s. I don’t want them to see that because they aren’t spec to the X5. If it’s all a money grab, who knows what they may say. If my console doesn’t sell, I may ask a different dealer when I put the 22”s back on next winter. Overall love the car, but wish Bimmercode, or one of those coding programs worked on the LCI. |
