then there is only 1 way

getting the unit fabricated by copying from another control unit

what do you think?

I don't need one per say, but I'm all for this. I have a working unit that I can possibly send out to get copied as the only way to get a new one is to buy the whole damn kit.

Well if you can get a copy that would be awesome and i don't think we are the only ones looking for that control unit.
tell me if i can help

bmw manufactured this steering wheel till 2011, and how come they discontinued the part on 2012?

I escalated the issue to local dealers management, and guess what?

they confirmed that V2 control unit and harness will be ok for V1

now I will order the new parts (around 450 usd!) and will see what it turns out to be

if they dont match, then I will be a big issue for the dealer

[Hg]

by the way, I made a research for the fabrication

Engineering time will cost much more than new complete steering wheel as they say...

Sorry to threadjack but does anyone have a part number for the control module?

- 61 13 8 364 664 - Connector, 12 pol. female (socket), (Tyco 965776-1 B) (to PSW Control Unit) (A6 on BMW installation diagram)

I home made the wire harness, and bought the control unit of V2 for my V1

it worked fine except the rev counter

it reads 10 times less than actual

[Dat Aus]

Thanks for that. So there is a Performance steering wheel for sale locally but the seller says it does not come with the control module. How do I know if I need V1 or V2? And where would I be able to find one?

[Hg]

if the PSW is V2 then you need V2 control unit (61 35 2 212 797)

if the PSW is V1, then walk away
