Hi, i also ordered the three parts and I'm installing over the weekend on my 2020 X5. Thank you for the pictures and instructions. Regarding the battery, do we have to disconnect two batteries? Are both located in the rear of the car? Reading some of the posts, there is conflicting information: some say a small battery is in the front of the vehicle and another commenter said that both batteries are in the rear.

Waiting for UK customs to clear my crystal set so haven't yet looked at battery disconnection. Though looking at this link : https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/g...der/1VncunMarg : sent from Martin @ Car Analysis, it shows part of the process involves disconnecting the windscreen wipers and using a special tool to do so lol. I'm guessing you would only need to do this if you are removing the battery......I hope

Almost a disaster....
I was trying to be careful of removing the multimedia knob but while trying to pry the ring off, the whole top came off. Which make it easy for me to remove the two adhesives (top one with the arrows and another double sided piece).
That was pretty easy, but while attempting to put it back (i did not remove the battery). While trying to slide the ribbon cable back to the touchpad, i saw some smoke, So I stopped. Got in the car, start it and see if my center console still works. I can change the gear, go forward and backwards. So, I stopped. Now i don't have a touchpad. Rotary knob still works (thank God for the touchscreen). Removing the battery connection in the back of the car looks like it is not a simple task and it is way too hot outside now. I may have to wait until this coming weekend so i can install the shift knob too. |

I followed Martin's instructions and see attached picture. Second one, he just remove and it is on his fingers (hand). First one is top middle pic near the controller (inside up or upside down depends how you look at it). I saved it though, but we will see once i put them back in if the touch pad will work. Instructions said that if you don't remove it, it is not going to be flush.

I think that i've found the fuse that can be removed rather than the car battery connectors. Fuse "F262" See attached pictures. But will tackle it this weekend have to go to work tomorrow til Friday.

So I installed my idrive controller & start/stop button - sorry not a very good picture but they look fantastic in the flesh. Installing them was a breeze. The SS button came out in one tug and the controller was easier than I thought it would be, although I did find it easier to disconnect the controller rather than do it with the ribbon still attached. Really the hardest part is lining up the crystal touch-pad arrows with the arrows on the printed circuit board, it's as simple as that to be honest. I had to return my gear shifter as it had a small defect, though Martin at Car-Analysis has been fantastic, the best after-sales support I've experienced in a long while! Now really looking forward to my replacement shifter to complete the mod. Oh by the way, I got fed-up looking for a second battery so I called my local BMW dealer and spoke to the Parts guy who asked me for the vin number, he then was able to confirm that I had only the one battery. Steve. |

I installed my set (all three pieces, shift knob, rotary wheel and start button) last weekend and it wasn't difficult at all. The rotary wheel took a bit longer and it was the more difficult one but anyone who can follow instructions can install it. I would recommend that you disconnect the two batteries. The batteries are super easy to disconnect (you only need to disconnect the negative side)

There was a couple of minor things like the time & date etc, (I can't remember the others) but my profile was still all intact.

Sorry for the long delay. I did not lose any of the car settings. The time was date/time was correct once I plugged the negative terminal back as I had it to automatically set.

10mins mod - took me longer than expected with couple of tries before I could pull it out.
Seems like this newer button with 3 clips has a tighter catch compared to the older version where there is only 2 clips (had the red start/stop for my G30). |

Failed touch replacement
Hello,
I tried to install the itouch glass replacement and had a bad outcome. I disconnected the cable, replaced it with the glass (per the video instructions), reconnected the cable and and everything was working escept the LEDs. I figured I had to tighten the connections so I disconnected the knob and tried to reseat the ribbon but was surprised with some smoke. The controller board for the touch pad I think is fried now. Anyone know if I can get a replacement unit for the controller board? Wife is not happy |
