DIY - M5 SMG Shift Knob Wiring Retrofit Kit
DIY - M5 SMG Shift Knob Wiring Retrofit Kit
by a l l an based on ironic's initial design DISCLAIMER It's your car, not mine. CREDITS Thanks to ironic for creating ver 1.0 of this kit. PARTS Total Kit Cost $240 to $320 (incl shift knob, wiring parts, shift boot, and heat shrink tubing) plus your own time Where to buy Tischer BMW / getbmwparts.com Not in any way affiliated with Tischer but the parts were bought from them. Part #1 - M5 shift knob Shift knob "buy" link (Tischer) http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...logid=4462&tab Note: The knob on this picture has the E9x auto shift boot pre-sewn. The actual knob you'll be getting will have a different shift boot that you'll have to replace with your E9x boot. Part #2 - Harness components Part #3 - Shift boot (either you use your existing or buy a new one) Part #4 - Heat shrink tubing (optional) TOOLS 1. Scissor or wire cutter 2. Wire stripper (for 20 and 16 AWG) 3. Hair dryer (if you will be using heat shrink tubing) 4. Electrical tape (if you won't be using heat shrink tubing) TIME REQUIRED A few fun hours PIN ASSIGNMENTS, HARNESS CONNECTIONS, and WIRING SKETCH M5 shift knob pin assignments 1 = Zone Reverse (GND) 2 = Zone Neutral (GND) 3 = Zone Drive A/S (GND) 4 = Night Illumination (GND) 5 = Switched +12v for Night Illumination 6 = Switched/Constant +12v for zone lighting Pin connections M5 pin 1 -> White connector pin 2 (or 3 if you look at it as a 6-pin connector) (R) M5 pin 2 -> White connector pin 3 (or 4 if you look at it as a 6-pin connector) (N) M5 pin 3 -> Blue connector pin 4 (M/S) M5 pin 6 -> Blue connector pin 5 (Zone illum) M5 pin 4 -> Power connector pin 1 (Night illum - ground) M5 pin 5 -> Power connector pin 2 (Night illum - +12V) Sketch KIT ASSEMBLY The wiring sketch is all you need really to build this kit. Here are a few guidelines/tips that can help you out.
INSTALLATION Step 1 - Disconnect the stock shift knob wiring connections (blue, white and power connectors) Detached female stock connectors Step 2a - Connect the wiring kit female connectors to stock male connectors Get your badass wiring kit and make these connections. The male/female pairs can only be hooked up one way so there is zero chance to mess up the orientation. You'll here a "click" when the connectors snap and lock into place. Tip: Be careful still inserting the connectors to avoid bending the male pins. Step 2b - Connect the wiring kit male connectors to stock female connectors Step 3 - Neatly tuck in the wires and install the M5 shift knob Tip: Route your wires to the top of the center console so they don't get in the way of the shifter. Tip: Don't permanently close your center console yet as you still need to test the knob and gear functionality. I just can't wait to show you how awesome it looks right now. Step 4 - Test your super knob Check that the knob illuminates the selected gear and make sure the gears are working properly. Now it's time to celebrate!
