Important Production-Date Restriction:
Do not advertise this module as fitting every 1992–1999 E36. The strongest catalog evidence indicates that this specific IHKR module was used through 09/1995 production. Some online catalogs display later model years because vehicles titled as 1996 models may have been manufactured before the cutoff.
Verify the following before ordering:
- Exact BMW number: 64118391512
- IHKR system rather than IHKA/digital automatic climate control
- Vehicle production month and year
- Electrical connectors and mounting points
- Hardware and software versions where required
Package Includes:
- One genuine BMW IHKR HVAC control module
- No switches, control panel, wiring, sensors or mounting hardware unless pictured
Important Installation Notice:
This is the electronic HVAC control module, not the dashboard climate-control faceplate. It is intended to replace the same IHKR module and is not a direct conversion for vehicles equipped with a different manual or digital automatic climate-control system.
Coding, initialization or configuration may be required depending on the vehicle and replacement procedure. Disconnect the battery and follow BMW service procedures before removing or installing electronic HVAC components. Professional diagnosis and installation are recommended.
