Hey crew, this thread and efforts are amazing. Hats off to all you! I have a DCT 135 that is becoming a dedicated track car so I’ve been gathering things to make a custom removable steering wheel with buttons and paddles so I can fit higher sided seats. That got me thinking that I could just emulate the M3 GWS instead of the 135/335is and run the GTS software and then got into reading this.
My winter project is to deeply understand the K CAN and how manipulate it with a custom steering wheel controller. I want to do away with the GWS and build it into the wheel. Should be able to relocate MDM button, power button, etc. May have to make an interface board to replace the GWS to connect the K CAN to the PT CAN, parking solenoid, etc.
I’m an Electrical Engineer and do a ton of embedded systems and digital communication work so if there are things I can help out with hit me up! I love the pioneering spirit here.
Yes, making a box to sit between the TCU and PT CAN to modify the requested RPM to the ECU would be pretty straight forward.
