Looks legit. Wonder if the button is just a trigger or is it possible to have it permanently enabled by shorting the pins

Re: guys.. hv u seen this??

the wire is home made, so i guess if wired in a closed circuit, it shld be 'on' permanently...

Feel tempted to try.... Need to go SLT to buy parts

Re: guys.. hv u seen this??

I don't think it's a closed circuit, looks like a "toggle"?

Some bro here did it before. Go read up past threads. Cheers.

Read yesterday too, inside the clip was using a switch to turn on the function, feel like trying too.

Does it work on 320 E90?

 

[Philster]

Re: guys.. hv u seen this??

I diy.
switch = 50 cents, wires = $1.60, pins i canibalised from old pc parts, solder iron and some solder.
was a fun project.

Not sure. You may want to check out the US or UK forums...

Isn't sport mode the same as DS mode, which you activate by shifting the gear lever?

for higher spec cars with dynamic drive, the steering becomes heavier but since mine does not have this feature, its more or less same as DS but I find the shifts smoother as it shifts at a lower rpm than DS.

i suspect the pre LCI e60 is already running the same engine ECU map revision which has both normal and sport mode parameters as in LCI model.
otherwise how does the system know what parameters to switch to with a push of a button?

Re: guys.. hv u seen this??

hi philster... may i know how long hv u installed the mod... any negative side effects so far??

e.g. ecu affected.. any strange behaviours ??

no i mean electrical wise, i no expert but i mean change the toggle to a 'closed' circuit... then permanently sports mode 'on'.

Then FC will suffer like hell.

If it does work then fc is not a problem , have fun first.
