Concerning the IHKA modules, I found this one on E-Bay :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-IHKA-A-C-AIR-CONDITIONER-BRAIN-525-530-535-540-E34_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46094QQihZ005QQitem Z150039401537

Vines auto are O.K., I've bought from them before. My question is :

Is this the right part for a 95 525i? I can't seem to match the part number on realOEM.com

Is this plug and play? I've read somewhere about coding the unit... Is this something I should worry about?

Thanks in advance...

Jeff

I didn't see a part number in that auction listing. They say it fits your car- but maybe ask the seller to confirm, and make sure they will refund your $$ or provide a replacement if it does NOT fit or does NOT work properly.

I've never heard about coding an IHKA

Thanks Bret... It's just that the part number they give out in another auction, they have three IHKA, doesn't seem to compute on realOEM.com. I put the wrong link on... sorry...

Try this one:

I'm also waiting to see if you can pull the one out of your part car...

The number i have here is 64.11-8390122.4
It comes from a TDS Diesel.So it seems that there are different numbers.
The airco was a manual.
