M1 M2 Drive Mode Buttons on the Steering Wheel
I spent a few hours installing a set of M1 M2 Drive Mode Buttons on the Steering Wheel and installed a set of Carbon Fibre Shift Paddles while I was at it, looks great, works really well;

Got a link to the kit? I have been thinking about doing this. I would have my shop install it though.

I picked up this kit as well, but the M1 M2 buttons were not put together. I had to put the chips in and try to align everything. Of course they don't align right and when I contacted the company they said I needed coding. I know this is BS because everyone that is installing this is plug and play.
I need to fiddle with it when I get a chance. |

Just searched the hell out of Ali and can't seem to find the "kit". Even though you had issues with your kit and seller, got a link so I know what I am looking at in terms of parts?

Here you go Joe. This is not the seller I got my kit from. I paid $200 shipped for my kit, I'm thinking this is why I have to fiddle with it more. You get what you pay for I guess. |

Also the $200 kits don't seem to include the main control unit to switch the drive modes, they appear to just be cosmetic M1/M2 buttons that don't actually function? |

Can anyone confirm if you can toggle between the different sport modes.

Question for the folks who have done this. Is there anyway to code to unlock these menus in iDrive to custom configure the buttons?

Great tutorial here and this controller allows for toggling between sport modes as well as a few other features.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJLJxUrNQwc[/QUOTE Unfortunately that unit seems to only work with the 2019 G series with the older style centre console arrangement and gear shift, etc BMW. Made hardware updates shortly after when they went with the newer interior refresh. |

[QUOTE=jrstech;29158619]The kit that I would get if I decide to move forward is $400 bucks and comes with OEM buttons. It's through a supplier on the G30 Facebook group. I trust him and that's the direction I would go in. Shoot me a PM if you want his contact info.
