Sorry for resurrecting an old thread... But...

I have just bought a 2006 320d with CC S540A. I think I'm right in saying that because it is a 4 cylinder car, I cannot have S544A with brake function..? But I really like the function of the stalk for cars with S544A in that it allows you to increase speed by 10km/h with the 'firmer' click of the stalk. So, if I retrofit a stalk from a 6 pot car with S544A, whilst I understand that the brake function won't work, would the 10km/h increase decrease function work? Thanks

Hi everyone

Resurrecting an old thread as well.

I'm planning to install CC to my 2006 E91 330d.

However, the problem I'm facing is that while there are a number of second hand steering columns with CC for E90/92/93, there really aren't many for E91 (the one with a rear window wiper control) and if there are, they are quite expensive as well (almost twice the price).

Now my questions is - has anyone tried to retrofit the wiper lever of an E91 to the E90 steering column and will it work so I could purchase the E90 column with CC and install the wiper lever from my E91 to get this thing done with a bit smaller budget?

With kind regards

M.

i also tried to find a way to istall DCC (dynamic cruise contro) into my car E90 325i 05/05. through my research so far, if your car is manifactured before 09/06 you need to have LDM (longitudinal dynamic module) to make it possible. of cause you need to have other parts as well and coding for a certain modules. current my problem is how to install the LDM module into car... i need to know if wiring and connector are already in the car...and where the module is to be located/installed.

have you already resolved the issue?

thanks

LDM connection diagram is in WDS or Rheingold software
if you have svg plugin you can see

if your car had'nt this option or module before, car will not have connector for it
you need evaluate schemes, determine which fuse circuit covering this module and wire power, ground from nearest modules on the same fuse, then search bus wires needed on nearest modules and wire bus wires from them

2005 325i already has ldm preinstalled if you have cruise with brake (544).

I know. I mean I tried to retrofit my car to install the cruise control. I got combination switch with stalk for this function. I know I need to install LDM but I wonder if car already has wiring and connector for this module???

No the car isn't prewired. It fairly easy to install and the location of the ldm is on the back of the bracket where the cas module is.
I've done it a couple of times. Send me an pm if you need more info.

i apprecite your comment. so it is not easy, right? eventhough i can find the wiring from wds which are only five cables to be wiried. i have no idea on the connector as well. i really want to find where each cable should be...

Guys, I read the topic very carefully, but wanted to clarify. 330i 2005 without cruise control. After installing new switch cluster with CC, is it possible to get normal Cruise Control without breaking, avoiding LDM and wiring hassle?
Have anybody succeded? If so, how(coding CC with breaking but without LDM would do the trick)?

To bring in some closure.

I got my CC working as regular 540 (without any extra modules or things).
To get regular 540 CC working on 330xd, you need to do some hardcore ECU programming - in the end it is actually really easy coding, but needs a good specialist to know where to look for.

Problem - On 330xd the regular CC 540 is forbidden in the ECU, so just installing slip ring and activating CC wont do it.

Solution - Changing some binary numbers in ECU in specific place to allow 540 CC function. Could be done within few minutes, if you know where to look. But even for my friend (badass ecu programming ninja), it took many days and several hours to figure it out. So I cant help and tell you where to look extactly in the ECU.

-----

But the 330xd got sold quickly after, had an A8L for a short time and then got another e91, this time 320d m-package, manual gearbox, without CC. And installing CC for 4 cyl engine is ridicilously easy. Just slip ring and activation (that could all be done by youself with correct tools).

Offtopic: Well, then I tuned my 120kw/340Nm 320d to 182kw/535Nm (injectors, hybrid turbo, 535d IC) and sold it few days afterwars

I have the correct slip ring installed (working, tested through INPA).
As you know, e9x 6 cylinder models came with only 544 or 541 (Dynamic or Active cruise).

----

Post above claims that it is possible to program regular 540 cruise for 6 cylinder - is it true? The parts for 544 are not expensive but i really don't care about the braking function.

We coded DSC and everything else for 544 but we didnt try 540 later on - would this make it happen?


Hi,

If it is anything similar to diesel, then yes it is possible - but possibly needs ECU programming.
But my esxperience(es) are only with diesel engine e9x

330xd in no way similar to 330i 2005 because xdrive cars have DXC unit instead of DSC and can do 544 option without problems
330i 2005 can have old DSC and require LDM for 544 option

Ok, I'm still confused for my situation.

I have a 2007 323i, with no cruise at all. I have rain sensing wipers, but halogen non-adaptive headlights.

I'd like to retrofit ANY cruise control, no need for active / dynamic etc.

I found a steering wheel column with the right switches, but it came from a 2009 335 with option S544 (CC with braking). It has rain sensing wipers, but also adaptive xenon headlights (not sure if that's relevant).

Can someone confirm that the column with switches, and some coding, is all that I'll need to get basic CC? Is that option S540?

thank you!!!! Really appreciate all the posts already.

Would love a response sooner than later (want to secure that column), but of course any response is appreciated.

well usually all column switches work with S540
some problems are with pre>2005 e87 cars and if S544 cruise needed

If someone is interested in buying a wiper-stalk for a E91 and/or LDM, I have one for spare as my car was wrecked right before I had time installing the parts and the return period expired.

The only plus is that I'm now in the hunt for a new car with CC installed from the factory .

I have a 325i E90 from 04-2006. I wanted to have Cruise Control on it so I installed CC stolk today but came to discover that its not a matter of installing CC stolk and do some coding to enable D(CC). I need LDM apparently but i dont know what to do next. A friend of mine does the coding but he also doesnt know how to wire the LDM, where can we find info?

this guy wired up LDM for active cruise control, but I think you will also find this helpful

I know you posted this a long time ago, however I need all the help I can get right now.

I have an e91 330xi (05/2006) from Europe without any cc options. I'm trying to get 544 working. I bought the right SZL and then had someone code it for me, however the system asks for a LDM module. Based on your post above I was hoping I wouldn't need one..?

Then I found your reply on this post: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1530925 stating that European 6 cil. always need a cluster upgrade. Is that correct?

Based on your expertise, what do I need to do to get 544 working?

hi
1. you may need software upgrade for whole car
2. the cluster have to either replaced or low-level coded to support cruise for 6-cyl cars.
