idrive controller connections a167a

Nixer · 10-19-2015, 02:41 PM

Anyone retrofitted idrive on a non-idrive car built after 09/2007?

I have an issue with connecting power (PIN 1) on idrive controller (A167a/X10387). As per WDS and Bentley for cars built after 09/2007 the power connector goes to PIN 7 (RT/VI) on x11003 which is on the back of the JBE. I already have a wire connected to PIN 7 on x11003 which I believe is for TPMS.

F27 5Amp fuse used by
iDrive controller
Tire pressure control (RDC)

I don't want to splice and solder-heat shrink idrive wire on it. Anyone?

The diagram looks like it has the two circuits spliced together and like you said the fuse is used by both TPMS and iDrive controller....so I guess you have the splice the circuits together?

Yes, that's the right way to do it. However I added a fuse to x11003 on PIN1 I believe and it works just fine.

Can I message you privately? I’m going through the same ordeal trying to wire an idrive controller for power . Is this x11003 and is pin 7 empty ?
