Hi,
Very interested in doing this - does the BMW switch come with the required wires with the correct pin connectors?
If not where have people been sourcing the wires and connector pins from?
Thanks
James

Huge thanks to Cockers for figuring this out on the LCI cars. Anyone have any suggestions for a US source for the PCB pins, switch, and wiring?
Also, is the switch momentary or static?

I still can't find the answer if this mod works for cars with manual transmission and where you can buy the cable? Can someone comment on this mod with manual or point me to the link. very curious
Thanks
Thanks

Have you read thru the thread ... in detail ... carefully ...? 
The 1st post by the OP stated his car is '07 manual.
You have to make the cable ... the p/n for the short wires socket available in pieces from the dealer also described in this thread.

Refer to my previous post (#385) here -> https://5series.net/forums/e60-discu...9/#post1501626
Part listed are for pre-LCI auto & available (or at least you can order) at any local BMW dealer(s) so you have to find the LCI specific parts at realoem.com.
The switch is momentary.

fitted it today "sport" now available ,so from the previous 44 pages
yes it works on auto and manual but is more noticable on the auto
on the manual steering feels a little diffrent acelerator seems more responsive but doesnt make the car any quicker,
i mounted the switch above dsc in the part with the rubber tray right at the back so its "hidden" too ,easy mod took 10 mins after watching roskinc's vid now if only there was a hidden "M" button lol
sorry for the craps pics but you get the idea!! ,thanks to Roskinc and dbond and for the past 44 pages of questions
dearest part was switch at £5.50 (nice solid chrome one) ,wires i made up myself

I got another question on this mod... Can I switch it on and/or off when the car is moving? Seems like Roskin did the demo when the car is not moving....
