Please excuse me if this is complete ignorance...but what does the wiring to the clutch switch look like? In older cars, this would be a simple 2 wire connector, signal in/signal out with the switch completing the circuit. Could one not simply unplug the switch and place a jumper in the connector on the body wiring harness? I don't have MT so I don't know what this switch looks like.

OP, I know you said you don't leave your car in gear when parked, but I hope you fully understand the ramifications of this mod should the car ever be left in gear and you hit the remote start? When I did have MTs I always left it in gear, especially on any inclines...and what if you ever have to lend the car to someone else?

Thanks fb2017 u da man. Emilime75 great points and thanks for the concern... will consider them. My frame of reference is coming from driving e30s up until recently and not having that feature with the clutch depression. Also I think it's important as our car ages the electronics will fail and we need to have a workable solution to those electrical components there are tons of users coding out adaptive headlights because it's just too expensive to fix etc.

you will notice that you have to hold the start button while the car cranks unlike before where you just had to tap it. Alternatively you can enable the need to press the brake pedal to start the car and it will just fire up as before. If you want to do this just make sure you code the following in addition to what's above...

have a good night!

looks like it can also be done in Protool, there is a setting for clutch and also for brake pedal for automatics

What is protocol interested to learn... Any links is this reference to ista p

If anyone else ever drives this car, or if you're forgetful, I'd really recommend against this. I had a car without clutch-to-start and let my friend borrow it. The electric starter has a ton of torque. It was able to crank the car right over the curb until the wheels left the ground.

I agree about the safety. What I did to minimize the risk is I ran the hood pin wire from the starter to ground with a toggle switch. Anytime anyone else drives the car or if it goes for service I hit the switch. Just an extra safeguard on top of valet mode.

I am trying to figure out a similar switch setup using a motion switch that grounds the starter should it detect movement as a backup as well. If anyone has ideas please do share

[Fb2017]

I can't comment on if anyone should or shouldn't do this mod. If you are someone that leaves the car in gear I advise against it.

There is a compustar DAS module available that might be the answer to what were looking for however.

If anyone is able to give it a shot it can't hurt. Would also eliminate the ability of the car being driven away while remote started

[Jselv]

Is there a guide on how to do this

[Willy Sea]

Anybody with advice how to perform this on 2007 Z4M E86.
With INPA or NCS dummy, all advice appreciated.

I just want to say thank you. My E81 118d came up with error of clutch switch error. Thought the modules are mostly same. Used BimmerCode to code it as you did and perfect. Fired right up. I’ve screenshotted in case I ever need to do it again. Atleast now I can get to the garage not on a recovery. Change the switch and revert it back should I wish

Is there any backup engine cranking method for clutch-to-start?

[k90]

Side question for another potentially dangerous coding:

I have noticed that the casette key doesn't always eject immediatelly after ignition is turned off. It's locked in place.

I think the CAS keeps the key until there is no wheel speed for a period of time, but I'm used to pull the key and exit the car while it comes to halt by ebrake. Altought the ebrake in this one doesn't like to be used when in motion - it seems to get stuck at times. With this car exiting the car feels like a procedure. When the car is running parked the key can be ejected immediatelly after switching off ignition.

Any adjustments for wheelspeed sensing?

Combination of disabling steering wheel lock and omiting wheelspeed would be rather non-dangerous.
