Great Video 👍 You will need ISTA to fix the rest of the problems. Might as well pick up INPA and NCSexpert to easily code the exchanged parts. ISTA is necessary to relearn the motor positions used for active steering. Be sure to find the right ecu (SZL) that lives under the headunit, otherwise seats will not work. Good luck 👍
I think you said the cluster is from a 545i parts car so at least it’s coded to recognize active steering and ars through the dsc. That’s a huge plus for you considering you’re not dealing with a cluster that’s dsc did not have active steeeing.
Yes, I did run both Vins through Mdecoder to match up the options. Somehow the navigation slipped through, but I was able to adapt the parts car’s nav system by salvaging some of the parts car’s harness.
Just a thought - the steering warning light might indicate that the steering wheel sensor is not calibrated or off. If the car did not have its steering rack damaged/replaced/fiddled with, try rotating the steering wheel from one position to the opposite and back about 3-6 times (do the full rotations, of course). Turn the engine on, put the steering wheel into the far left position, then start turning right until it stops, then go back till it stops and so on. Sometimes, it works after 5-6 full circles, sometimes - after 1 or two. However, considering that you replaced the steering column, I would go with checking the cables to the steering wheel angle sensor together with checking the sensor itself. And the replacement column should be in the list of the suspected devices, too. Good luck!
Great watch! Looking forward to part 2!
Glad you enjoyed it, part 2 coming soon!
Subscribed! Welcome to TH-cam man, looking forward to your next one.
Thanks for the sub!
Well, I like what I saw so far, so you got a new sub! Looking forward to the next installment!
Cheers from Argentina!
Thanks I appreciate that! Next video will be uploaded shortly!
Great stuff, just subscribed👍 looking forward to part 2
Thanks, part two will be live later this week!
waiting for a second part ❤❤
Part two coming very soon, stay tuned!

Thanks for the tip, appreciate it!
Excellent! Great video man!
Appreciate it!
Cool video! Keep the good work!
Thanks Felipe!
A great car need some love ❤
Yes it is!
Goodluck with the channel!
Thanks I appreciate it! Stay tuned!
Really nice video. You earn way more subscribers, i subbed!
Thank you!
Subscribed! I’m working on my e60 545i, i also have a code for the active steering. Looking forward to seeing what you find out.
Awesome! Stay tuned I’ll get that situated soon!

It runs 💯
It runs now!

Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't looked into it yet but will soon.
Amazing work. You didn't mentioned how much you purchased this vehicle for?
Hey, thanks. I wasn’t planning on it but it was about $1,000 not running.
you can recalibrate the active steering
I’ll look into that in one of the next videos. Thanks!
You have to turn the steering to the left and right and then that light would be disappeared
Why would they make it so hard to replace the battery in the key fob?
Hey Alex, it’s very annoying but the battery is supposed to recharge while in the ignition in this type of fob. Thanks BMW!!
Good mechanical instinct. Will you be my mechanic?
Sure bring your car anytime!

I think its lower than it should be
Suspension looks good and feels firm so I think it's where it should be, nice and low for sure!
@@rebuildrevival I meant lower than it came out of factory since you asked.
@@Desmodromic916 Oh got it, yes I’m sure it is!
