Ok. I paid attention when I was driving. I had the radio on and pressed the diamond button 6 or 8 times as I drive, turning the Euro MDM on and off. Nothing happened to the radio. I retrofitted my car with a later szl module (column switchgear) and had a friend code it. My 08 M3 has basic audio, with only an aux port and no usb.

I do have nav. Since I did not do the coding I don’t know what was done. I gave my friend the details I learned here and he also talked to a friend of his. I watched but did not record exactly what was done.

I don't suppose your friend recalls what he did to code it? nevermind, if you have NAV then there is a setting in a TRC file to change to inhibit the issue. I'll look to see if I can find it. *edit* Found it: MDRIVE_RUEKO must be set to nicht_aktiv, but this apparently only applies to CIC navigation systems.

There must be something else that needs to be coded to inhibit that behavior, if at all possible. I have yet to find anything, but I also cant seem to be able to extract my radio's TRC. I guess I really do need the $$$ optical MOST interface. |

In fact if you don't replace the module in the steering column you can't activate M-mode on a car not already equipped with the correct module (and the appropriate coding). And based on the statements in your above response, you have exactly the same problem I've been investigating. Last edited by GtiGyver; 10-15-2019 at 08:59 PM.. |

I don't think the M button is "just a button". I suspect its something to do with the PCB inside the button set.

I thought it was the szl module, which seems to be the column switchgear.
My idrive equipped 08 still has the diamond button not an M button, but later module/switchgear and no issues with radio source changing. |

Seems though that as the M button has never existed in M3s without iDrive, and the radio source-change feature cannot be inhibited on our cars.<-- INCORRECT. The only way to be 100% sure would be to swap steering wheel as well as the steering column module and confirm. One thing that puzzles me, the M3 GTS doesn't have iDrive as far as I know and most likely has an M-drive button and an optional radio according to the interwebs. How do they get around this issue?

Do you have such a car? and if so, what is your FA if you don't mind sharing? Last edited by GtiGyver; 10-16-2019 at 12:48 PM.. |

Here's a VIN for a GTS M3. WBSKG91090E568170. Side note, I'll look into the button problem.

Thank you for that VIN number.
Looking over it, there doesn't seem to be that much that I can use (for coding) except some options elude me :
the last 4 translate to (no FA code): ? scope climate ? Only required for control ? Scope radio ? Only required for control Last edited by GtiGyver; 10-18-2019 at 02:41 PM.. |

Just finished swapping in the switches from an M3 with iDrive (M button and star), and the behaviour has not changed.
The M button still calls for a radio source change, and the star calls for (re)circulation mode. Damn. Thought this would work as the circuit boards inside had a slightly different component configuration (resistors and capacitors of different values and present in places where in mine there were none).

Lol this topic is an endless circle. It can't be coded. Otherwise, somebody would know how.

Using an M3's iDrive's steering angle sensor module and steering controls with the M and custom star button are not enough. There is something else. Just not sure what. Knowing that the GTS doesn't have iDrive, but does have an optional radio, there must be a way... |
