BMW Performance V1 Electronic wheel issue

TheSt|G · 12-31-2013, 09:14 AM

Had an odd issue recently where my shift lights no longer light up. Checked the brightness settings and it wasn't turned off.

The issue started initially when I got my car back from a shop for deer damage. The wheel had been turned off(odd), but when I turned it back everything appeared to working as normal. It wasn't until a couple of days later that I noticed the shift lights were out.

I could take it back to the shop, but I doubt that would get me anywhere as they don't know anything about such things. I reviewed the manual, reset the wheel, tried it at various RPMs, and still no luck.

Any thoughts?

A few of our customers experienced the same issue. We replaced the control module and everything works

now. I'll post up the P# as soon as I find it for ya.

Just to confirm, that is for the V1 wheel correct?

Ah sorry, missed that. This is for a V2 electronic. Not sure if the same for V1.

Sorry man!

Maybe they were turned-off in the setting menu??

Damn.

This is one of those few issues where I have no idea how to go about solving it. I doubt BMW will be any help at all if I contact them.

The BMW install document clearly says no coding required.

BMW V1 parts have been discontinued for over a year now so if it's a module issue, you won't have many options.

Yeah, I'm aware. Makes this all the more annoying.
