Nice! Just ordered the replacement wiring harness.

Excellent Video! The idea of heating the piece seems to be the smartest one I've seen on KZbin so far. Where did you buy this razor holder? Thanks for sharing

[@vagrepaircenter]

Thanks for the comment :) Hmm, I really don't know :/, try googling razor blade holder or something like that.

Great video. My gear shift lights are starting to pack up. Seems strange that the cable is perished - hardly any movement in the gear shifter.... I thought mine may have been brought on by excessive heat from the sun

[@vagrepaircenter]

Yes it was also strange to me that the wires got damaged but they are indeed very thin because of the space constraint. I also released the original panel green/orange with included wire harness for sale if ypu want to check up www.ebay.com/itm/116083291912

For the moment I am shipping from Europe, I'll have them available from US stock in a week or two.

really thx super appreciate

Nice meticulous video. Im having issues as well and see an error code 802680 with my OBD reader. Other videos show people replacing the circuit board up top. I imagine if its a broken wire a new circuit board would not make any change. Do you know if that board is sold separately or must one look for a salvaged one nit to break the bank. With thanks!

Dear Sir, exactly as you have said. I sell both the LED panel and new wire harness together in a kit (www.vagrepaircenter.com/products/bmw-gear-shift-knob-led-panel-with-wiring-harness-msport-bmw-sport-3-4-5-6-7-x6-x5-x4). If you are sure that only the harness is defective than you can order www.vagrepaircenter.com/products/bmw-electronic-gear-selector-illumination-parking-button-repair-harness-from-usa

Great video, do you have one how to open shifter from f10 ? The one with the tape, not the wire

[@vagrepaircenter]

not yet, I am working on it.

[@krzysztofrewer8090]

If you buy used gear selector can you just not replaced or you have to programmed

[@vagrepaircenter]

It does not need to be reprogramed. The only question is when will the problem occur in the used shifter. If it's from a low milleage car then you are probably ok.

Nice tut! why the tape before the heat?

[@vagrepaircenter]

Kapton tape to protect the outer plastic from heat, maybe it's not that necessary but I did it anyway.

[@MrSprinter671]

Does anyone know if you remove the circuit board can you still drive the car and use the gears?

[@vagrepaircenter]

No you cannot.

[@antonispk6760]

Nice video! Do you ship in Greece?

[@vagrepaircenter]

Yes I do Sir. I need to make a listing for shipping outside of USA. I have it also on stock in Croatia. I can send you a paypal invoice if you want.
