I have been told that it should be a direct swap (minus the heating part), but it is not. All buttons work, minus the ones related to cruise control and driver assistant plus auto-steering thing. When pressed, they pop an error in iDrive.

Any ideea what this is about?
Have made a small video of it too
Does the skipping songs buttons work too with CarPlay? I would like to retrofit the LCI buttons if they do, since I hate how the pre-LCI in order to skip songs you have to move the wheel up and down and then press (not very ergonomic).
