Received my cable tonight, hooked it up with NCS Expert, and after a bit of faffing around with the dates so it actually recognised my car I have programmed the 'Sport' light on the display (as well as other goodies like digital speedo, door locks releasing on car stopping, heated seat on I drive etc) and I am well chuffed, thanks dbond for the pointers.
I have decided to buy the original 'sport' button and drill a hole in the existing plastic gear gator to give it the OEM look and feel. The more I think about it, I just think the best place for the button is on the gator!
Anyway I'll keep you all posted on progress.

Sport Button mod works well to stiffen up the steering on my 2009 535I. Installed a Z4 Sport Button on the center console. Had to modify the circuit board on the button to get instrumentation and on/off LEDs operational.

Im going to use this button on my pre lci. Did you get an oem plug for the button and do you have the partnumber for it? Not the button itself but the connector

I bought it off ebay used. The connector was on it but all wires were cut (didn't have a part #). The circuit board had to be modified IOT have both LEDs and button functional. You can solder wire direct to the pins if you disassemble it. This would allow you to modify it all at the same time to make it operational.

So...
I want to do this mod on my 2008 E60 with manual transmision and no active steering.
In order to activate that SPORT indicator on dash what do i have to code?
From what i've read, in kombi i must set the following 2 parameters:
FDC_VERBAUT - aktiv
FDC_ID_MONITOR - aktiv
Is this correct?
