Thank you! Personally I'm having the same thoughts! Cheers!

I have done the wiring years ago....maybe I did a mistake or anything else is wrong. Guess I will need to go trough a full wiring check!

Which pdf is that You're refering? The one from years ago from neurocil, wpg and navarrone? I do not remeber that picture You are showing. If You do not mind, please share it via mail

If you're paddles work in regular drive mode. then everything is wired correctly. It must be a software issue. Did you default code the EGS and KOMBI?

The paddles do not work in any mode!

What do You mean by "default code the EGS & Kombi"?

Maybe have another look at the SIB - SIB 25 03 07 - Paddle Shifter Diagnosis.pdf

SITUATION
  • The customer may complain that the steering wheel paddle shifters ("sport transmission option code 2STBA") are inoperative.
  • Also, the GWS gear shifter will not stay in the manual/sport gate (left side), but moves back immediately to the D center position.
  • When diagnosing with the DIS/GT1 testers, fault code 5087 ("Hardware, inputs one touch function") is found to be stored in the EGS transmission control module.
CAUSE
The direct communication input line between the paddle shifters and the EGS transmission control module is interrupted.

Also my version of the M5 steering wheel upgrade - BMW-M5-E6x-Paddles.pdf

Yeah, guess I have to check the wiring correctness first!

After you FA_WRITE both the CAS & LMA.
You use Factory Coding Profile and SG_CODIEREN to the EGS & KOMBI to load all default values/options as per the VO .

If you are using Manipulation Profile (used for coding) then make sure you empty the .MAN file before you SG_CODIEREN.

Or this - SAT Retrofit Coding and Programing.pdf

Pages 4 & 5 may help loading "default" values...
