HMI_SHIFTLIGHTS_KOMBI_ENABLE => aktiv
PIA_SHIFTLIGHTS => aktiv

Please note, you can have them either in the Kombi OR in the HUD, not both.

G80 shift lights are not codeable with Bimmercode.

Better than nothing getting somewhere! Do you think the G80 shift lights would be replicable with E-sys?

Do you think it's possible to code this M software via bimmercode? Specifically the G80 shift lights. TYIA! I know MichaelNRW is hard at work trying to debunk the different values and differences.

Yes it´s possible with E-Sys but you would need to flash M software.
Atleast for the Kombi there´s some downside like no display of the drive mode you´re in.

Not possible at all with Bimmercode, because you can only change values. M software need E-Sys and a flash of the Kombi/HU.

Not necesarry flash with Esys for enabling M shift lights

I found some information about this and that the shift lights are either shown in the HUD OR the Kombi, but not both.
I´ll try to disable the sports view in HUD and try it again.
See attached image.

I did another test today and i could confirm that the shift lights are either in the Kombi OR HUD, but not both.
You can switch between them by changing the setting in the iDrive HUD menu. You need to set the view to either Sport for shift lights in the HUD or assisted driving for shift lights in the Kombi.

Another update...
Seems like one of the codings killed parts of my HUD information.
The Driving Assistant isn´t showing in the HUD anymore.
And also the navigation won´t be shown in the HUD.
I need to check that again.

Maybe it´s the reason why my car doesn´t had shift lights, because it doesn´t work in combination with DAP. It´s probably a bug.

If I'm not mistaken, at least for me ever since coding in the M displays only thing to ever show in the HUD was the mph/kph everything else disappeared. I've had my HUD turned off for so long so I will reactivate and double check.

Just confirmed, HUD does not display anything besides speed limit in area driven and speed of vehicle. Also coded in this with no change still no shift lights

CB_SHIFTLIGHTS => aktiv
HMI_SHIFTLIGHTS_HUD_ENABLE => aktiv
HMI_SHIFTLIGHTS_KOMBI_ENABLE => aktiv
PIA_SHIFTLIGHTS => aktiv

Very weird stuff, will post pics to reference soon.

I don´t have the M display, just the MPA 330kmh display.
Everything worked until i coded the shift lights.

What software does your car have?
I´m on 11/2022.31

My software is early, I will check tomorrow but it is a very early one as the updates were turned off day I got the car back in April of 2020. Weird that everything on yours stopped working after coding in the shift lights. This stuff seems to be very sensitive as we have seen with Wet Fish it is possible to have Shift Lights remain with M displays and other people without adding in M Track module. Weird stuff for sure.

Reflashing only the cluster and MGU doesn't work.
If some of you guys need help, just let me know.

We obviously need help :-)

I still have a problem with the HUD.
Since trying to code the shift lights my HUD neither shows any Driving Assistant nor navigation graphics.

So what´s the things we need to do for M shift lights without loosing the DA and navigation graphics?

TheNine90 · 04-07-2023, 06:01 AM

This is on G30 so i dont know if there is difference.

That´s just part of flashing an ECU and when you recall him saying something around "flash complete" it´s a hint in this direction.

That could be some premade TAL file that will do the flash.
Have you check the recycle bin for the files from that zip file?
Judging by the size it´s a archive for E-Sys, PSdZData and some more.

It looks the files are for flashing kombi to firmware newer than 2019 since this is a requirement for M track module to function.

If HMI_M SWFK is flashed, you need to change in CAFD 3E52, HMI_BRAND to BMW_M. Otherwise it won't boot the HU.

Done shiftlights on G30 but with nbtevo using M track module. NbtEvo not flashed.

Here is code necessary to do for Mtrack module. Shift lights are active.

You can switch between them by changing the setting in the iDrive HUD menu. You need to set the view to either Sport for shift lights in the HUD or assisted driving for shift lights in the Kombi.

does Kombi refer to dash cluster?
can you get the shift lights on the dash cluster with M tacho?
for example coding M tacho means you lose the sport display on HUD so there is no shift lights on HUD but will it still show on dash?

Kombi is the dash cluster and the ECU is called DKOMBI4.
Haven´t tried that because i don´t like the M tacho.

Currently i don´t have the shift lights coded and got problems with the HUD not showing Driving Assistant or navigation graphics.
When had them coded you had to choose between shift lights in the dash cluster or in the HUD. This was controlled by the iDrive setting for sports view in the HUD. If you have sports view in HUD enabled, the shift lights will be shown only in the HUD. If it´s disabled, the shifts lights will be shown only in the dash cluster.
It wasn´t possible to have them in both like the real M cars.

I had an G82 over the weekend and made a backup of all the coding.
This could help but probably wont because of the different software.

FYI: MaximK never answered my PM.

MichaelNRW · 04-23-2023, 08:03 AM

I finally solved my issue with missing navigation and driving assistant data.
The problem was so trivial...
I had reflashed HU_MGU and DKOMBI, VO coded every ECU with the original VO and still had the issue.
Someone tried to help me and send me a video of his HUD settings with the M View active.
This was the point where i remembered i had this menue coded...
I had the M View enabled in the HUD menue and didn´t changed it back to standard before disabling the menue again.

I´ll update this thread once i´m back to my codings and can try something new.

lebaaron · 12-06-2023, 06:49 AM

Hi

Trying to finalize coding the shift lights I have the feeling I'm close, but not close enough 😁

Going through the pages I coded pretty much everything I could find for my 2020 M340 and here is the result

The shift lights don't appear unfortunately in any mode, if you have any suggestions they are welcome thx.

Edit:
It works I wasn't revving high enough 😅

Now what i didn´t achieved are the shift lights in the Kombi.
Neither the ones on the left/right or the G80 ones in the top area.

See attached image.

The G80 shift lights will only work with M software on the HU_MGU.
I´m not sure about every downside so i wont try that for now.

Another warning, i got a CEL after coding some of the values. It was a warning that the DME and DKOMBI4 couldn´t communicate.
The CEL was gone after a restart and i could clear the DTCs.
Just that you´re aware about this!

That second image. Is that the shift lights in that thin line under the ‘Sport’. Did you just code those four values in the subsequent post…

I saw you say that it can be HUD, KOMBI, but not both. So how do you turn the HUD ones off? Do I need to set the HUD_ENABLE to false?
