Re: F10 M5 illuminated ZHP install guide with photos
I've had it off since then and fiddled a little, the bunching isn't anywhere near as obvious now. I still have fold lines but they're minimal

Finally ordered this from Harry Fairbank. Cannot wait to get it fitted along with my OEM ashtray aux input!

I did the OEM aux input a few weeks ago too! Beware the endless amounts of confusing conflicting guides out there that make reference to several thousand different variations of BMW head unitJAD wrote:Finally ordered this from Harry Fairbank.

I dunno if it's common, but most of the guides said you had to lose the multi-CD changer to accommodate the aux but I managed to get them both to work alongside each other.

I got my F10 gear shifter from my local Stratstones parts dept and the OEM aux came from a BMW dealer on ebay, was around £50ish, the flat plate aux, I drilled it into the panel under the heater controls! Oh and good look pulling your air vents out too if you've never tried! Took me 2 hours to get mine out as they were stiff as balls!

Rollox, hoping mine is a quick job, as sure I've got something plastic that just needs to be clipped back into place rattling away in mine. 2 hrs for vent removal, I'm hoping you are just less technically minded than me - and I've got nothing but 10 left handed thumbs when it comes to this sort of stuff - I could be working on the dash & break something in the boot, without even trying!ncrossy1980 wrote:Oh and good look pulling your air vents out too if you've never tried!

Ah, different part! I've ordered an ash tray OEM thing from the U.S. So no drilling!ncrossy1980 wrote:I got my F10 gear shifter from my local Stratstones parts dept and the OEM aux came from a BMW dealer on ebay, was around £50ish, the flat plate aux, I drilled it into the panel under the heater controls!

And did think it'd take much longer than the videos show!

Well to cheer myself up about my bumper, I decided to finally get around to doing this I've had the knob sitting in a box in the garage for what seems like AGES, so it's good to finally get it sorted Turned out well I think, car needs a clean though

Very nice mate - did mine last week too - love it!
Re: F10 M5 illuminated ZHP install guide with photos
Finally done mine as well!! Very easy - slightly unhappy with the minor fold at the top of the gaitor, but easy fix this weekend. Also installed my Aux now they're back in stock!
Missing a screw as there was not a new one supplied and the old one has a washer stopping it being quite long enough in the new position.

How much time did you spent on recoding the car to make the software go again after this operation?
Just kidding. Nice work.

What the thing doesn't have a serial number and a cryptographic hash inside that the computer recognizes? Shocking

How come the stitching is the opposite way round to each other on these last two?
I thought the boot was attached to the knob.

I think JAD has taken the knob off and is using it with the standard gaiter, I've used the gaiter that came with it and fitted that around the Z4 hoop.srhutch wrote:How come the stitching is the opposite way round to each other on these last two?
