BMW F30/F series Functional M1/M2 Buttons Kit Installation 

Great product, delivery was delayed because of Covid but excellent communication from the seller. This well thought out instructional video made the installation process a smooth affair. My the final two wires in my vehicle were black and grey as some other commenters had also mentioned. The blue clips were a pain to open, but being patient with them was worth it, love the new functionality of my steering wheel!

worked great on my 440i. Got everything done in under 20 minutes and had no troubles. Like another guy said, my wires were grey and black instead of green, but the process is exactly the same if you pay attention to the placement of each one.

Works perfectly on my M240i. Thankfully, all my wire colors were the same! Super helpful video

Hi! Just installed mine. Great tutorial! Everything works except my m1 and m2 buttons. The CC and LIM buttons works just fine. Gone through the video a couple of times, but everything is done in the same way.

Awesome video! As I said in another video I thought about the concept of this mod a while ago and its awesome to see it come to light. Kind of a nerdy thing, but it would be cool if at some point in the video you went through a sort of wiring/circuit diagram of the mod to explain how the passthrough works. For instance explaining the operation of the read wire to the right bottons and the new harness in the center console? It seems pretty ingenius that rather than running 2 new wires ALL the way from the steering wheel to the drive mode rocker switch that new harness creates some type of passthrough to the iDrive system. Will be definitely buying this in the future...when the e36 track car is sorted...

You gotta market more man. Such a underrated product. I can’t wait to order mine soon

Great kit to fill up the blank buttons on my F30 AH3 steering wheel, plus I do not have to keep looking down at the mode button on the console anymore. The instructions were spot on, and it was great to be able to zoom around in the video to revisit some points. The only problem I ran into was removing the button console; it is really hard getting your finger below the console to get access to the clip. I nipped my finger a bit doing that. I do not know it that was a technique issue, physiological issue (I need longer, thinner fingers with double joints), or just bad luck, but that was almost a show stopper. As some feedback, the “click” of the M1/2 buttons is quite different from the original BMW buttons. I am not sure if this is due to using button slots that were previously open, but having the same feedback to the pushing of the button would be nice.

Absolute legend been waiting for a vid of this

Awesome mod!!! I just ordered one for my 440i

Thanks for this video. It was really as easy as it seemed. 🎉

Thanks for your video~ I have helped my bmw to clear button. I was able to easy

You'r the best Bro ! 👍

Just installed this kit on my 2015 F22 M235i. It works flawlessly!!! The hardest part of the instal was removing the factory clip from the iDrive controller. That was a bitch!!

Damn man, this is SOLID engineering. Gotta get one of these on @thicwhips channel. He'll blow you up.

Great Video !!!

Great video thank you

mine is ordered , just taking a while to land in the UK

Edit: guys, highly recommend the seller and the product. This guide was fantastic. Note that on some cars the harness under the mode selector by your shifter will have different coloured wires. Mine were gray / black. But the wiring positioning is still the same. @MNlasercutting: How do I unplug the 2 position plugs? (time stamp 12:35 in your video)

@MNlasercutting i see you removed the positive terminal from the battery before working with the airbag, I thought it should be the negative? I ask because in my f31 it’s a pain to get to the battery I have to remove a lot of trim in the trunk but if removing the positive terminal is enough there is one also under the hood I could disconnect and that would save me a good bit of hassle 😅

Awesome video and great product! So does the sport mode button selector on the center console still function after you install this? Or does it only work using the M1 m2 buttons on the steering wheel?

Well presented......

I just bought mine! 😁

Is there anyway to make it m1 comfort and m2 sport+, or m1 sport, m2 sport+ and revert to comfort on the controls on the shifter? It just makes more sense having the buttons directly correlate to a specific driving mode

Could you of just attached on to the can bus at the wheel with a module to send the commands. Would avoid the I drive part

Does anyone know if there is a way i can use the buttons to open and close the valves on my exhaust instead? I have a 2016 340I manual with the M performance kit

Good evening, can you tell me which cables i need to have. And where i can buy or order them? 

I just installed this on my 2019 BMW 440i xDrive Gran Coupe. I follow the instructions perfectly, and didn’t damage any wires. However, only the M2 button works not the M1. So I can go down to Eco pro, but I can’t go up to sport or sport+. I’ve taken it apart three times now trying to figure out what went wrong, but I can’t figure it out. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how was it resolved?

If you have the m4 wheel with the m1/2 buttons is it just the final cable you need that runs from the idrive selector to the different modes

Beautiful video. Very informative.

Fitted mine following this guide but had a cruise control error pop up so I've had to remove it for now. Any ideas?

Hi, if I already have M1 and M2 on my steering wheel, do I still need to install your PCB? Or do I straight away install the wiring harness to gear selector will do?

Hello guys, I have the BMW F25, will it works with my car?

can you provide installation guide on bmw f10 pre lci

does it work in bmw x4 f26???

Waiting for black buttons!

Hi, great video! I was wondering whats the eta on orders? It’s almost been a month since I placed my order.

Just out of curiosity.. how would the new buttons react of you dont have the new PCB installed as well?

Do I need board which goes into the wheel, since I already have M3(with M1 and M2 buttons) steering wheel in my F30?

Hi. I have a 650i with a retrofitted original M6 steering wheel already with the original black M1 and M2 buttons. Can I use this kit and just switch the internal board? Or it has to be the M-sport wheel with the blank buttons??

Will this work in a F10, specifically a CIC unit with the 10-pin connector for the iDrive controller?

Hi, excellent video :) how do I order this product please?

Are there problems with the bus system or the like after this conversion Do I understand correctly, this kit can be retrofitted if you don't have any working (fixed) keys=?

Hi my F30 has the normal cruise control, if i fit this kit will my cruise control no longer work? What is difference between adaptive and normal cruise control?

Hi, the buttons M1 M2 light up? Thanks

I just replied to your email. I’d like to see if this kit works on the F22 chassis as well. 2015 M235i 👍🏼

Do the buttons light up in the dark after installing these?

1. will this interfere with any other modules that are connected via CAN? 2. will I have issues when flashing software to the car? eg. some software tools like MHD and xHP require you to disable/unplug data displays and exhaust flap controllers as they block the CAN bus, I believe. 3. I see that this is the only BMW related product on your page and your channel. Can you tell me a little bit about your credentials? No offence, but I'm worried about adding a hobbyist module (assuming not a lot of experience, not well tested) into my car.

Hi, if my car doesn’t have cruise control can I still do this and code cruise control in? Would I have to first buy a cruise control part and code it in?

Any difference in installation for a manual?

Would this work for my F25 X3 (2013)?

What is the name of digital device in the left air vent?

what to lubricate the buttons with?

Fit to BMW F15?

I just installed this on my f21 but now my I drive button controller doesn’t work anymore….

Will this work on the F15 X5?

will this work on pre lci f10’s?

Is this kit avaliable in the UK?

Hi I subscribed to your channel #Hi my name starts with L

Everything works great but I now have a Driver restraint system malfunction

Who the he'll has time to do all this for 2 fancy ass blue buttons !!!!
