OK, after reading other comfort kit threads a dozen times, I bit the bullet and ordered the comfort kit for my 08 XT today. Looks like it should arrive Monday. Still debating on doing the install myself or paying local dealer. Want to get it on before a trip next month. At this point I am leaning towards just doing it myself. I am fair with mechanics, and do most of my own maintenance on my BMW (oil changes, valve adjustments, added led running lights to front signals, etc.) So I am guessing this should not be too much harder ? It appears the consensus is that the front ECM screw does not need removed only loosened ? Any other things I should know before diving in ? Thanks ! | ||

Just takes a little time and patience. We need a tool throwing clip art.  | ||

The install is not difficult or complicated. Just take your time, don't force anything, and snap a pic or 2 with a digital camera or cellphone if there are any areas of reassembly concern. Took me about 3 hours, but I also did the ground wire(s) and cleanup while in there. Yes, the ECM screw closest to seat only has to be loosened - not removed. Good luck. | ||

PS - you obviously need to unclip the 2 connectors and swing the ECM out of the way. while in there, check the bottom of connectors for any cracks. |
