Yah, a friend of mine bought one and installed in his new X7. After a month, the controller top has stopped working which means he could no longer control anything on the infotainment except for scrolling up and down. So he switched back the stock control top and brought his car to a BMW dealership, there they noticed that he modified the controller top and to fix it; It will cost $5000 and on top of that the warranty of the car also got voided. I mean the warranty for the whole car was voided because of this $100 modification. So be carefully everyone when you modify this part.
I believe this would be illegal in Europe, i.e. they can't void the warranty because of such modification. (But I might be wrong, I'm only quoting something I heard in a youtube video.)
@@beigefox6579my friend pulled off the OEM touchpad to install the crystal touchpad and dealership noticed that the touchpad was pilled off and put it back on when they inspect the knob.
Does the lighting in the shifter work? I've seen other videos where they put a cable in the passenger footwell just so that the lighting in the shifter works.
I wish I had the M50i as well, but I needed a more reliable version of the car it's for my WiFi and kid to drive most of the times. I had the 550i with the N63 (4.4L twin turbo V8) and it was so much fun to drive. I miss it. Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for the video clip, I replaced mine on X6 but after connecting the batteries I have park assist malfunction message, any idea how to get rid of this.
the infinite autowerks cyrstal kit retains all OEM function including the touch ability on the control wheel. not that I personally use the touch that much but figured I would provide an alternative solution i found to work on my x5
@simpleCarGuy still no issues with this install in terms of electrical with the car. Even if you install correctly by turning off batteries in the long term does this shifter had any issues for you? Also can you do a video with the puddle projector install for bmw x7 or provide the correct part number? Thanks car guy
The original also changed the power button on the head unit, but I don’t THINK anything else. At least I wasn’t able to find any other info. Thanks for watching!
Nope, I showed all steps in the video. Just start the car. You MAY get an error message or two, but they go away as soon as you start driving. (like car not knowing the height level or ABS sensor position).
@ do you really had cero cero issues ? I’ve seen that making this wrong really fucks the car up. I’m going to make it to and I’m a little bit worried of making this wrong. Didn’t you were afraid ?

@@jaromor8808 wow!
They can't void the whole warranty. Read the small print.
How did they notice he modified the controller if he already switched back to stock? Something not adding up with the story.

Great vid. Followed it and did the install. Thanks for posting
Awesome to hear. Thanks for watching!
Did it all work OK do you need to code to get light on in shifter?
@@barrieford3522 no the shifter automatically lights up no code needed
“My bmw has 2 batteries but yours will only have one” just called me broke in a million ways 😢
thanks for helping me i just bought 10 of this along with 10 new bmws and i was lost so thannks
Does the lighting in the shifter work? I've seen other videos where they put a cable in the passenger footwell just so that the lighting in the shifter works.
Love these kinds of mods
Excellent instructions thanks!
Great Job!
Thanks for watching!
Great video 👍🏻
Finally, my X7 won’t look so basic
Great video. Nice jewelry.
I wish you had the M50i, you have great, very well explained videos. But I don’t see many in the M50i

My idrive controller is not a touchpad so can I simply stick the new sticker over the old one without disconnecting the wires?
Awesome video! Thanks for posting, seems like it would work on my 240i, although I don't have the shiny center console
Give it a go, i think it makes a nice upgrade
Imagine your wife thinking you bought sex toys on bang good 😂
She didn't mind this one at all!
hey, is it compatible with 2023 bmw m340i it looks damn cool and now i feel thats the only thing my car lacks lol
I thought the 2023 had the rocket switch gear selector. That would not be compatible, but your original one looks like mine did, then yes.
@@SimpleCarGuy ya it has rocket switch gear but nvm i still love my german beast
you can buy a pre lci gear shifter and install it on your 2023
really? wow @@RiceGuy
Thank you very well explained video, does disconnecting battery resets any settings ? Like clock/time/date etc?
No, the car gets that from the internet and the rest should be saved under your profile.
Thanks for watching!
fav car

Hi! No issues at all, it’s been working perfectly.
I think my car already has puddle projectors, but I’ll look into that!
Thanks for watching.
I think the crystal kit does cover other parts with glass on the original fit kit..... But I may be wrong?
The original also changed the power button on the head unit, but I don’t THINK anything else. At least I wasn’t able to find any other info. Thanks for watching!
You should of removed that top part on the touch pad!! Very simple to do, and your new cover would 💯 work touch pad 👍
I did! A minute later in the video I explain how I redid it later.
Can it fit in i20 car
I’ve never disconnected the batteries on my X5. Are there any steps you need to take after reconnecting the battery?
Nope, I showed all steps in the video. Just start the car. You MAY get an error message or two, but they go away as soon as you start driving. (like car not knowing the height level or ABS sensor position).
My mom bought this package just for this shifter ughhh the speakers suck so bad
lol. Only $135 on Banggood 😂😂😂
I got a coupon from the company, so it’s even less now, check the description
When u click on link simplecay guy which model for x7 theres a “x3” and a “x5” one which one is the X logo?
It should be the X5 one. Leave a note when ordering specifying that you want the X logo one as well if you can.
Is it still working
Yes, it’s been great

@@SimpleCarGuy how much time did you wait when you disconnected the battery?
Is this still working on your car
Did you code new VO 4A2
Not needed. I showed everything I did in the video.
We making it into a Volvo with this one.
This is an option from BMWs on higher trims. Thanks for watching.
Same thing cheaper on AliExpress
Bro. I know OEM parts cost more and whatnot but why would you mess with Chinese fake parts? Please people, stay away from this.
I cannot believe you spent Such money Just for some pointless mod I have seen ever en my whole entire existence..
Well, people pay $1000 for this option from BMW
@@SimpleCarGuy Bro Well they are dumb exactly 💀
