Generally I think I made it, but I didn't check it yet, because is sunny outside. I have to wait to the evening. The problem was with FZD in my car, because I have e91 with SOS function i my roof module and the connectors look different than on your video. I have used green and orange wire to replace them by bridge. All seems to be fine, no errors on dashboard. I also recoded my modules (CAAPL, FLA, KOMBI,NFRM).Thanks a lot, your video was really helpful. I'll let you know later how it works
This is epic, thought it would be a lot more difficult than it is in reality. This goes on my to do list straight away, wanted to do this for a long time. Thanks!
Hola Jose, gracias por tu respuesta, finalmente conseguí uno de E90 con mandos de garaje y todo, ya está todo puesto y funcionando, menos los mandos del garaje claro... Un saludo y gracias JP
Hi Jose, I've been watching your video very carefully, but I missed one important thing when you are making a bridge 02:05 and where is the second connector and how it is connected? I mean this what is under your tape ;). I don't know how the wires should go from it? As far as I see it wasn't shown in your video. Thanks.
Hi, would like to ask you about the bridge at the old holes you mean connecting pin 1 and 2 old holes together? Because i did this and the sunroof and the interior lights stops working. Thank you and appreciate 🙌
Hello Jose, I did register a chanel so I can thank you ! I made already some of your retrofits on my car (e93)....))). Now I bought interior mirror FLA+auto dimming !Can you tell me how should connect the new mirror ? I am not sure if I get it corect from your two videos for dimming and FLA retrofits... Many Thanks from Bulgaria
Hi, For a 1 series, as you said, you need to install the antenna in the mirror too unless you buy one mirror from e93 or e8x. It is not so difficult but opening the mirror is a pain in the ass. Regards.
thanks for the quick answer !!! I dont have problem for the moment, I didnt start the instalation, I simply want to get the picture in my case- retrofit from simple mirror to one with FLA+ DIMM. Are the five wires going from the mirror to the light unit??? Do you know the part number of the retrofit kit??? Thanks again
Hey bro, nice video. Thx!!! if I buy a mirror base cover for rain sensor with high beam assistant can I also install this if I don't have a high beam assistant? At first I only retrofit the rain sensor and maybe later I will retrofit the high beam assistant. or if I have a mirror that can only be dimmed automatically, then I have a problem with the cover and it won't close properly because the mirror base of the high beam assistant mirror is different? so the only question is whether the covers are different. 1st version: mirror automatically dimmable with rain sensor 2nd version: mirror automatically dimmable with rain sensor and high beam assistant Thx
Hola Jose, He comprado un retrovisor interior con LED, EC, GTO, FLA. Mi coche es un E60 LCI del 2007 y ahora tiene uno manual/LED y el coche está equipado con sensor de luces y lluvia. Para reequipar este retrovisor me hace falta un conector para conectar estas otras funciones nuevas, pero no sé qué conector es exactamente y no sé dónde buscar su referencia. A ver si me podrías echar una mano con el conector y los cables que necesito y dónde iría conectado cada PIN. Muchas gracias de antemano, me encantan todos tus bricos.
So you need to connect wires to orange pin 1 (x19594) to pin 2 (x14286) orange and green pin 2 (x19594) to pin 1 (x14286) ? if I want to cut the wires... or soldered them together
hi bud,ive been busy with the retrofit and have already remove FZD module as well as installed the new autodim mirror with the FLA camera.However,i have noticed that BMW has used different colour cables on harnesses as my harness has different colours from the cables in your video.if appears that that are two connectors on FZD,far left and right which a bridge needs to be created between them,then a connector on that bridge for the FLA camera,is that correct?
Hola Jose. Muchas Gracias por el video. Lo he intentado y tengo varias dudas: -es igual el cableado para lci y prelci? -se puede instalar con halogenas y frm1? Pregunto porque lo he puesto todo pero no me funciona y no se que más hacer. Tengo sensor de lluvia y luz y espejo fotocromatico. Me da error añadir $432 al vo. Es un e90 del 2006 y ya no se que hacerle para que funcione
Hi, what do you mean "tied"- electricaly or fizicly ? FLA camera is separed fizicly and in Your video there is no relation in the wires connecting???? I dont know....
@@ertih7355 at your own risk! for the E60? It’s simple Just use the wires from the rain light sensor. There is no roof module in the E60. RLS Pin 4 ( Yellow ) = Pin 2 FLA RLS Pin 3 ( Black ) = Pin 1 FLA Pin 1 = Can Low Pin 2 = Can High But after that you have to code the FLA!
Hello Jose, I did a retrofit on my 2009 LCI e90 as you said here. Everything was ok until the end but when i push left stick the Auto highbeam icon dosent show up on instrument cluster and nothing works. Everything acts as before retrofit. I manage to read the module and also to reset but i had no succes. Managed also to code the idrive so the option to show up. Any ideas on NFRM or why it dosent work?!
I have e84 x1 and it is simple 522 Bi xenon.What are additional hardware requirement if I want to add FLA and Adoptive lighting. headlight need Swival unit?,SMC module and Xenon Light control module ect?..
Yes, you can apply most of my DIY to your e87. The 1-Series and 3-Series share the same software and ECU's so everything will be working on your car ;) Cheers!
Do you know how to adjust sensitivity? My FLA sometimes is not reacting fast enough especially when I am following other cars from a distance or if their tail lights aren't bright enough... is there any coding for sensitivity? I am driving e60 pre-lci 2006
hola jose tengo un m5 2005 e60 y le queria montar FLA y mi pregunta es solo necesito el espejo y montarlo? o hay que ir a la bmw a que te lo activen? un saludo y gracias
Hay que activarlo. No hace falta ir a BMW (de hecho dudo que lo hagan allí) Solo necesitas tener los conocimientos de Coding necesarios y la interfaz de programación DCAN o ICOM. Un saludo!
Hello jose, First i want to thank you for your videos. I have a F11 2012. Wants to replace/retrofit rearview mirror. My mirror have nothing, no autodim, no HBA. But i have a rain sensor. I bought a used on fron ebay That has the autodim and HBA camera/Light sensor. Please any help with wiring ?
I am sorry but I dont know Fxx series as much as Exx. But you can check wiring diagrams in ISTA D/P software that can be found on the internet. I suppose that it should be the same. Can BUS, power and autodim signal but I dont know the exact wires. Best regards.
I was referring to the software. If you want FLA working you have to select the 'Auto' position at the light selector. I don't know if you could get it working without RLS but I don't bet for it. - Auto position -> you can choose if you want FLA by enabling 'High Beam' - '2' Position -> FLA is not working at all, you have to switch between low and high beam manually. Maybe you can set some parameters at your FRM in order to get FLA working in '2' position. I don't know.
Please i am new in BMW retrofiting ...if i understand correctly FZD is connected also by CAN High and CAN Low ...right ? Can you send me extact ISTA D reference ? Thanks
i installed and coded but it doesnt work. if i push the lever once nothing and twice the hih beams come one. so i guess once activates fla but nothing happens
Maybe you also have to code the KOMBI .MAN file .... somewhere there FLA is mentioned which was set to 'nicht_aktiv' on my car -> you have to set it to 'aktiv'
Ok has anyone done this to 2006 and higher e90? I have the complete kit and wired it exactly the way everyone has been saying to wire it and no power to mirror at all. Thank you in advance.
Yes, it do. It works like a charm :) There are known some issues with halogen but I think they have been solved. I have retrofitted many xenon cars with no issues. The only thing is that the car has to have RLS (rain light sensor) if not, FLA won't work.
Hi, what is your problem? You have to add two wires for CAN Bus (between the mirror and the FZD) Also you have to add other five wires for autodim (there is a retrofit kit available at your dealer for 25€, you can also download the diagrams from my channel, see my other video) Tell me what do you exactly need.
Hi, If you see the diagram at 1:28, you will notice that Im connecting the mirror to the original CAN bus line of the car. You can see the results at 2:25.

Is it same for BMW X5 e70?
I am not sure but I don't think so since the FLA is tied to Rain Light sensor :(
Good description
Yes, that is.
You can solder them but I prefer to use pins and not to cut the original wirings.
Hola Jose...ya hemos hablado en otra ocasión, sabrás si el retrovisor con FLA, autodimm, etc... de un e70 valdría para los e9x?
Gracias.
Nice DIY! Do you know if there is such a module in the E46?
I got the FLA mirror, I can pass the 2 wires, but have no clue where to connect them.
So you need to connect wires to orange pin 1 (x19594) to pin 2 (x14286) orange
and green pin 2 (x19594) to pin 1 (x14286) ?
if I want to cut the wires... or soldered them together

Great retrofit Man👍😉⭐
I'd love to know if this would be possible on my 2016 F06 640d? Any tips on this greatly appreciated😁

¿Para un e90 lci vale cualquier referencia para el espejo?.
Gracias Jose.
Hi, what do you mean "tied"- electricaly or fizicly ? FLA camera is separed fizicly and in Your video there is no relation in the wires connecting???? I dont know....
I installed the FLA today in my E60 and everything works.
Do you know if the e60 mirror fits the e9X?
@@matt.108 it’s a completely different mirror so it should NOT fit.
@@B58B30 can u tall me what wires u retofit to conector in the mirror?
@@ertih7355 at your own risk!
for the E60? It’s simple
Just use the wires from the rain light sensor. There is no roof module in the E60.
RLS Pin 4 ( Yellow ) = Pin 2 FLA
RLS Pin 3 ( Black ) = Pin 1 FLA
Pin 1 = Can Low
Pin 2 = Can High
But after that you have to code the FLA!
Does anybody know if the E60 mirror with FLA and lane departure warning fit the E9X car. I have a 2012 335i.

Hello jose,
First i want to thank you for your videos.
I have a F11 2012. Wants to replace/retrofit rearview mirror. My mirror have nothing, no autodim, no HBA. But i have a rain sensor.
I bought a used on fron ebay
That has the autodim and HBA camera/Light sensor. Please any help with wiring ?
I am sorry but I dont know Fxx series as much as Exx.
But you can check wiring diagrams in ISTA D/P software that can be found on the internet.
I suppose that it should be the same. Can BUS, power and autodim signal but I dont know the exact wires.
Best regards.
Thank you i made it. And the HBA work just fine
Can you please tell me what program I need to access a 2012 E70 to add/activate the FLA code $5AC
Hi, you only need NCS Expert and update FA Order of your vehicle.
Regards
is this a similar procedure on a 2011 BMW X5 diesel? I have the proper mirror but not sure how to do it ? Thank you
Same procedure (with some changes in coding) for E70.
Not sure for F15.
Can you tell me how to do this on a 2017 mercedes GLE350?
Sorry but I don't know Mercedes as good as BMW...
Could I do this on a 10/06 build E92? I have already converted it to the FRM2 module.
Can you post a video on how to code it.....
I was referring to the software.
If you want FLA working you have to select the 'Auto' position at the light selector.
I don't know if you could get it working without RLS but I don't bet for it.
- Auto position -> you can choose if you want FLA by enabling 'High Beam'
- '2' Position -> FLA is not working at all, you have to switch between low and high beam manually.
Maybe you can set some parameters at your FRM in order to get FLA working in '2' position. I don't know.
Please i am new in BMW retrofiting ...if i understand correctly FZD is connected also by CAN High and CAN Low ...right ?
Can you send me extact ISTA D reference ?
Thanks
***** yes but my car do not have fzd and in e60 is possible to have rls connected to kcan but also to other bus
My have only 3pin connector instead of four and connection is not kcan
Yup i have to take connection from behind glovebox .. i think
I think you cannot retrofit this feature on a e46...
The light module is not prepared for this.
Regards.
i installed and coded but it doesnt work. if i push the lever once nothing and twice the hih beams come one. so i guess once activates fla but nothing happens
no it stll doesn't work, what your country code? cause im from Belgium
Maybe you also have to code the KOMBI .MAN file .... somewhere there FLA is mentioned which was set to 'nicht_aktiv' on my car -> you have to set it to 'aktiv'
Appreciate the parts list.
Ok has anyone done this to 2006 and higher e90? I have the complete kit and wired it exactly the way everyone has been saying to wire it and no power to mirror at all. Thank you in advance.
Hi. I have 2006 e90 and im at the same situation. Mine does not work not even the signal at kombi but i can read it using ncs and inpa shows its ok
Does it work with xenon hid on e90 ?because that don t work on halogen
Yes, it do. It works like a charm :)
There are known some issues with halogen but I think they have been solved.
I have retrofitted many xenon cars with no issues. The only thing is that the car has to have RLS (rain light sensor) if not, FLA won't work.
Jose_Jn BMW HiTech Retrofitments & Coding now i have halogen, do you confirm that Fla will work? Thanks in advance
Hi, what is your problem?
You have to add two wires for CAN Bus (between the mirror and the FZD)
Also you have to add other five wires for autodim (there is a retrofit kit available at your dealer for 25€, you can also download the diagrams from my channel, see my other video)
Tell me what do you exactly need.
How do you do the coding??
Add $5AC to VO and recode FLA, FRM, KOMBI and Navi modules.
Best regards.
Hi,
If you see the diagram at 1:28, you will notice that Im connecting the mirror to the original CAN bus line of the car.
You can see the results at 2:25.
The wire has 3 parts.
- One of them goes to the mirror
- The 2nd one goes to he FZD connector (you have to remove the original CAN wires and plug the new one)
- At the 3rd part you have to plug the 2 wires you removed at the previous step.
It is only a way to connect it without soldering or cutting wires... But you can do it in other way.
Why don’t you change SZL (steering column lights switch)? I know it is necessary
Hola Juan Pablo,
Pásame el número de referencia y te lo compruebo.
Pero todo apunta a que sí valen.
Un saludo.
Sorry, I forgot to answer you.
Please, check my videoretrofit for autodim mirror posted at my channel.
