I finally received my cable and am working on getting it connected to the car to get a trace done on my car. Holidays are just making it difficult to find the time to work on it

What does your display show when you just push the shift lever to the "DS" mode (without using the paddles)? That's when you would see S1-S5. As soon as you use the lever or paddles to shift it will change to M1-M6.

Are you saying S1-S5 is replacing DS, thats all? That will be surprising. I am trying to findout if different EGS software is required. How hard is cabling paddling shift? Have we found that yet?

Cabling the paddle shift is easy, just a different harness from the wheel to the SZL (p/n contained earlier in the thread) and you have to connect a couple of wires from the SZL to the ebox.

I MAY get a steering wheel which is paddle shift, lane departure warning and heated as well, this is exactly what I have been looking for ages. Do I need to replace SZL for heated to work or SZL replacement is required even for paddle shift to work? I won't go down this route if SZL replacement is required due to its prohibitive cost.

Hello guys.
Today I spoke with a man who changed my firmware.
He told me he changed the firmware using the program "TOOLS".
You know such a program?
