HELP! - Just installed the M3 Wheel but problems!

Miliceman · 04-13-2012, 08:50 PM

Hi everyone!

I finally got my M3 steering wheel installed today. It tooks me about 3 hours to do, but somethings go wrong I think.
First, when I hook up the battery back, it says that AWD, DTC and something else doesn’t work. After a short run, it seems to be back, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
Second, the paddles shift correctly, even from D position, but DS position doesn’t work at all, and when I use the paddleshift, after maybe 10 sec it returns back to D. The shift lever indicator doesn’t illuminate anymore too.

Thanks for your answer!

Check your wiring seems likes you wired something wrong. Did you follow diy from here.

Yeah, my harness from the steering wheel going to the shift lever was disconnected. maybe it was a little bit short.
