Will my E90 be prewired?

j4gz · 08-18-2009, 04:08 PM

Now I'm not sure if this is a dum question or not as I am quite new to this but will my car come prewired if I ever wanted to upgrade any components?

Firstly, I am looking to upgrade the wing mirrors to electric and have seen a few wing mirror and control panel packages on Ebay. Will these just be plug and play? What about CD changer options? I'm sure I will be doing more upgrades but I suppose i just want to be able to just switch components over as oppose to ripping the car apart and laying new wiring.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Even when pre wired everything on these cars seem to need coding at the dealers. Cd changer defiantly needs a coding.

It would appear that pre-wiring is being deleted on new cars. This post is from the US, but I would have thought that it applies to UK cars as well.

Do you mean electric-folding mirrors?

I'd be interested to know if an upgrade to electric folding mirrors, is a simple plug and play type job ?

Sorry yes I meant electric folding mirrors.

Has anyone upgraded a 06 E90 to electric folding mirrors at all, and if so is it a relativley easy job, and what sort of cost are you looking at to complete the job ?
