E70 CIC control wheel replacement

Skithepowder · 12-02-2019, 12:35 PM

Wife managed to get her centre console in an E70 X5 + Nav screen etc all wet. Pressed the open roof/doors button when leaving the car by accident in the rain. All working after a thorough drying/dehumidification apart from the CIC control wheel. I’ve taken it all apart and given it all a good clean with electrical contact cleaner but still not working.

The part number on her wheel is 9240956. A quick look on eBay shows some similar parts even one with that number but they are listed as from/fitting a 3 series. It is just a single electrical connector to swap out so happy to do but do I need a specific one for X5? Will it need coding afterwards in any way?

For example: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F143145360571

This one has the same part number but a different number underneath to the one in my wife’s and says it is for 3 series.

This one has all the same numbers but again says it is for a 3 series. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F163960941862

I actually have a 3 series and it looks the same as mine, but I don’t know whether there will be some compatibility/coding issues or if they are the same part essentially and should plug and play?
