Manual swap reverse lights not engaging

GianniN54 · 09-07-2018, 10:18 PM

We swapped over an automatic 08 335i to a manual transmission and the car has been driving perfectly since we finished but when we put it in reverse the lights won’t come on. Any ideas as to how we can get the reverse lights to work?

Did you change the VO to reflect the change from automatic to manual (remove $205) and re-code the vehicle?

Don't know how many modules will need recoding but I'm fairly sure NFRM will.
