If you mean that I need to always use the old PNRD module and that I cannot bypass it, then :

No- you don't need to use the old blue module- check my pics Im using the manual shift boot with no module.
Your wiring needs to be correct from the blue harness plug and the white harness plug to your DCT shift knob. If you have anything shorted the DS mode won't work, there needs to be connection between the blue and white harness. |

well, I checked again everything and no shorts ... ??
This is my config for the mode/led: R --> R N --> N D --> CENTER ARROW M/S --> D/S and the - / + Is it allow to do so? @big_c I see you have +/- and center arrow lighting up together. I will try this combination. |

Sooooo ...
Answer to myself... on the very first schema, instead of using the "power connector" to have illumination, you can use the pin 2 & 3 of the blue connector. (pin 1 is not connected) If you have DS not working then you have to connect pin 4 (M/S) to pin 6 ... which is not shown in the schema but mentioned a bit after in posts related to LCI car connector... and that's it ! It works like a charm ! |

well, some feedback and questions...
So everything is working fine BUT I just realize that when the car goes into sleep mode then the blue #5 pin (+12v in EU) (USA is pin #1) will switch to 3,5v and connect pin #6 which will light up my + and - leds... on the first schema, pin 6 is not used ... but on my car I need to connect pin #6 ou pin #4 to enable DS mode... Again no shorts, everything is fine except this issue. Any ideas guys? The problem is the car putting 3,5v on the blue connector when going to sleep between pin 4 and 6 ...

What Gives?
Has anyone else had issues with this shift knob staying secure? I only noticed one other poster mention the knob would spin once installed?
I did notice the stick portion of the shifter did not match up. Meaning the tongue inside the knob was different than the grove on my shifter rod. |

When the car is in sleep mode, I also get the +/- lights activated. This is similar to how the P would light up on the old module. |

The P light is lighting up for something like 25 min when car is off and in sleep mode. I rebuild the whole wiring ... but this time I decided to use the blue module... So I think now everything is ok : I tried every mode and all seem to work as expected. Then when the car goes off (start/stop engine button goes off) only P is lighting up as normal. I tried to wait a bit but it's too late here (1am!) so I'll see tomorrow. With the blue module I use the very first schema and didn't connect pin 4 & 6 ... wait and see I'll post some pics once finish |

With all of the guys that have done this upgrade one would think the solution is known but was not listed in any of the diy's I read. |

Quite difficult to shoot the led when they are on but result is really great.
I don't find them too bright for now... ohh and I wired the knob like the new 6 series with arrows on when on P. |

Nice well done bro.
Definitely agree that its a must do mod on the E90. Just feels and looks so much better...transforms the interior. The stock knob really does look like dog sh*t |
