Coding M-Drive/MDM

Does anyone know how to code the M-Drive/MDM feature on our cars? I have coded my car before to do many things but I cannot find the coding instructions for retrofiting the M-Drive..

Anyone cares to share what needs to be coded?

Thanks in advance

Code this to DSC module.

Search MDM retrofit. I just purchased the hardware which is inside the steering wheel from a donor e9x that was totaled. I'm going to have Alex at Alpine code it.

Locate the a part out thread on here and PM the seller. He buys totaled cars and sells parts.

I searched all over the internet. I know what part to get and how to install it but the missing piece is coding it. I can't find it anywhere

Yes I am a DIY-er and know how to code the car but I just need to know what to code. Unfortunately, BPM and Alpine wont share this information.

No, but there are very accurate breakdowns of the coding required on this forum and the BMW coding forum.

Add $2MD to the VO and then code the complete car. If you want EURO MDM, code it manually as descriped in DSC modul.
