Dct shifter retrofit f30

[coasts]

Hi all,

While it is not the biggest update, I have gotten in contact with ccfj1. He is very busy currently which is why he has not been active on the forums.

Currently the emulator (information from ccfj1):
a.) Is pretty much finished, but needs long term testing.
b.) Is as close to plug and play as possible, but needs a bit of DIY to becoming fully functional.
c.) It is compatible with any GWS.

Here are some attachments he has shared with me:

Hay, any news on the emulator ?

Dang that's so close.... I hope Sport will be available too. I'm so excited...

@ccfj1 if you want to get info for CAN DATA to/from GWS feel free to ask me. For example we can raise led light when in auto mode drive sending other drive mode code to gws.

Hi, can you help me with this in f10 preLCI? Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks

Still waiting for this emulator, hope the sport mode works!

I hope it’ll be finished soon. I would like to reach ccfj1, but can’t find how to send a message….

Small update.

I have pretty much finshed the adapter.

Its all working perfectly on the bench, just wait for a small adapter board to be produced and then will post up.

There seems to be some discussion on gear jumping (as in out of gear).

If you are getting this then you have the wrong gws shifter, you are trying to use a dct shifter in a non dct car, this wont work, (and i suspect will never work), if you are getting this, then get the correct shifter.

AFAIK (and happy to be proved wrong), only the f85 (x5m) gws shifter works with the auto box. any other gws shifter (dct) will not work).

even the f85 has its porblems.

1: no park button.
2: no d/s led light when in drive
3: so sport mode (normally right shifted) on non M gws.
4: no manual shifting on GWS directy, but paddles work 100%

1 not an issue.
2: is fisxed with adapter
3: still looking at this
4: as above.

Will post up as soon as its installed and working.

HTH

P.S the f85 gws shifter does not kick you out of geat (ever)....

Hey! I couldn’t find how to contact you… but super interested to get adapter/emulator, likely a few of them . Could you share your contact email, please?
Thx
