New Idrive controller upgrade
So what I'm trying to achieve is going from old boring idrive knob to new cooler looking controller with amber illumination!
2007 pre lci 530 with M-ask (no CCC or CIC)
I already know not all buttons will function so its only for the BLING effect.
Here's the new controller and plastic bezel clip ........

knob
I ordered the knob yesterday. Ebay. Used for $99.
The trim is a picture someone posted that they cut to do the COMPLETE ccc upgrade.

Idrive controller
OK, so I had time this weekend to remove the center console and connect the new controller.
Surprisingly it lights up but only some short cut keys worked.... Which is fine since all I really need is the menu button. What didn't work is the knob.....doesn't scroll spin or direction up down left or right.
The guy I brought it from says to have the M-ASK updated and it will work. Anyone know how true this is?
