Hi Guys!

So lost here, hope someone can help me!

I always dreamt about having paddle shifters for my BMW

The steps I did:
- bought the paddle shifters and wiring.
- installed the paddles on my steering wheel.
- installed the software with BimmerCode (turn on retrofit paddle shifting)
But they were not working afterwards.

I have checked if the wiring is there, from the PCB cable 5 to cable 3 at the steering wheel and yes, my BMW already does have the wiring for the paddle shifters.

Then I turned to someone how could get deeper in the software then BimmerCode.
He came upon to fall codes:
EGS - electronic transmission control
CF3251 Signal (operation of shift paddle, 0x207) invalid, transmitter GWS

+

FEM_BODY Front Electronic Module
804480 Shift paddles: Short circuit to B+

I really don't know what to do know, but of course I still want them to work.

Does anybody know how to proceed? Thanks

Hi!

Did you bought the right shift paddles as they different between BMWS models (not the same resistance)?

Hi there!

Have you tried removing those fault codes and starting the car again?

I have no expertise in paddle shifters but maybe you haven't thought of this.

I hope you'll fix it soon!

Do you know where I can buy the right ones?
I have got these from AliExpress, they looked original and wasn’t cheap.
And they say it’s for a F20…

Did anyone find a solution? I've wired using the same scheme as the F30 (position five on FEM and position three on steering wheel column), and I've killed my steering wheel column in the process. Is there a different wiring scheme for the F20? My car is a 118D
