Great idea. Will do.

Hi,

I've got one of Hutch's looms spare, as I sold my car before I got round to fitting it. Not sure if Hutch is still making them?

If Hutch doesn't mind, I will sell the loom if anyone is after one. It's brand new, exactly as was delivered to me.

Hi all

I have just tried to retrofit to my Z4 2007 2.0, which I believe is N46 engine. I purchased a new stalk and wiring kit from 2 different sellers on eBay. Both are genuine BMW items. I have completed all the wiring except for the connection to the DME, as the BMW instructions don't add up.
It states for N46 or N52 engine 'Disconnect and open plug X60002, black 26-pin, from the DME control unit' 'Connect the Blue cable (from switch) to plug X60002 PIN4'. This is where my confusion starts, both plugs are 26-pin, the Black one has an existing White/Blue wire already in PIN4.
I can see that these BMW instructions were released 10/2006 and I'm guessing that there has been a change after this date, but I cannot find any later releases of these instructions.

Does anyone have any knowledge as to where I connect this wire?

Thanks

Here is an extract from srhutch’s magic instructions:
N46
Just an update on this old thread from someone who has just fitted this retrofit CC kit to a 2.0
(N46), E85, 2008 version of the Z4. All went as planned until I came to join the DME wire. I
attached the blue "repair cable" as per the BMW instructions (which was indeed the correct one
for this vehicle). However, I then removed the black 26 pin plug from the DME to find that there
was already a wire in pin number 4 (this is the pin that the BMW instructions say to connect to).
There was no mention of this fact in any of the instructions so I spent the next few hours
hunting the net for more details with no luck. I then noticed that on the first page of the BMW
instructions it does say that "if any pin chambers are already used, to use double crimps or twin
terminals". I also checked the wiring diagram for this connector which simply says that pin 4 is
for the cruise control (only). So I removed the wire already there and connected the new (blue)
wire to pin 4 in its place (and left the other loose for now). All seems to be working perfectly .
The CC is working as it should and I have no other errors or problems I can see at present. I
have left the original pin 4 wire loose for now (safely). If anyone knows what this "spare" wire
does please let me know. I hope this helps to make the job a little easier for someone else with
a 2.0l version.

So, just take out the existing wire from pin 4 and put the new wire in.

Hi I’m just in the process of purchasing a 2007 2.0l sport and am very interested in fitting cruise control. I’ve clicked on a few links but they don’t appear to work any more. Is there a more recent page than this one (apologies still getting to grips with the search engine)

Hey all,

I recently bought a BMW Z4 3.0 2005 with the m54 engine and tried to install cruise control on it. I followed a instruction manual, that I found somewhere. I would add the pdf, but I don't know how that works on this site😅.

what the instructions describ is:
To connect 2 wires to the light switch on pin 27 and 31,
And the last wire should go to the contact x6004 pin 27.

I did all that and the car has been programmed for the cruise control option, but is still does not work.
Did I forget something or are the instructions incorrect?

Edit:
Turns out I can't count, and put the pin in the wrong place. Corected my mistake and it is working now🥳.

Jouke.

Welcome to the forum.

The pre-facelift E85 is already wired for cruise control. The cruise control stalk (assuming OEM or equivalent) should be plug-and-play. All you need to do is make a cut out in the lower steering cowl (already marked on the inside) and plug it in.
