Tried couple of times to find the P function with different variables, but no success.
As for the big board, for the time being, I think I'll throw it under the gear console, until I found the proper crossover / connector for this tiny cable>>>
Bro aidil, I've looking this crossover (for 12pins output) over the webs and electronic shops, but couldn't find one. If you have any idea where I can get this crossover, feel free to let me know, then I can place this big circuitry board into dustbin because of the space limitation under the gear console. :rock:

Never try la bro.. Personally I think, it can be done, with correct wire tapping and diagram, it should be fine. But not really sure if your iDrive will trigger an error, or even worse than that -cause I've no well knowledge about E60's system (pre or posLCI), so can't speculate about that... (Or the preLCI E60's have the same system as E46?, then shouldn't be a problem).
If not, why not just give it a try... hehehe:rock:

I was thinking to do that as well, but the circuitry board is like the combination of 5 layers of electronic board (with logic circuit), so there's no chance for me to de-solder it - cause no soldering contact on it. To saw it, it's not easy to do I guess, cause the pin is too small (is like 1mm size). I'm afraid if the pin will spoil/break during that process, then I've no backup for that. :banghead:
Any other idea to extend that tiny wire..? :hmmmm: or else, have to install with the board attaching...

Wear and Tear replacement...
Another DIY to share.. My old E46 getting old and many wear and tear parts need replacement.
Part: Windscreen Panel Cover
Part Number: 51 71 8 189 100
Cost: RM280.00
Dealer: Bavarian, Segambut
Duration of DIY: 34.5 minutes (according to time keeper :wink
Observed the windscreen panel cover got cracked due to getting old, which decrease the car horse power to -6.7% during highway driving, and 15% during parking.
Clearly see the cracked. Eyes got itchy and try to avoid from run into this panel every morning.
Bought the part from Bavarian Segambut.
1) Take out the wiper for both side;
2) Take out the air-ventilation filter and its housing. Remove the rubber bend attached to the windscreen panel cover.
3) The windscreen panel cover is attached on top of the engine bay by clipped. Carefully un-clip the panel.
It'll much easier if start unclip it from the side, to the other end.
4) Take picture side-by-side to see how worse the old panel cover, hence the replacement event is worth for the dough :wink:.
5) Install the new part by carefully clipping the panel.
6) Install the wiper for both, then bOooommmm! I'm done!
Basically, the steps to install is easy, it's just reversing-steps from uninstalling (typical methods).
Now, the look of windscreen is much fresher, and gain the horse power back to 10% during driving, and 21.5% during parking. No more worry if somebody look at my roadtax in future :top:!!

No progression so far. Due to differential current drawn between the original gear faceplate and LCI gear knob, I accidently burnt the electronic circuit in LCI gear knob. That's the cost I need to pay because of too brave to attempt that retrofitting :stupid:.
I did tried to put the potentiometer to balance the current for both, but unfortunately those potentiometer is wrongly rating and led to burned of electronic circuitry. As for now, I using the knob as deco only, and disconnected all the wiring underneath the faceplate.
I might change it out with SMG knob which have plug n play retrofit kit as it now on the market, and it'll cost a bomb I guess :joyman:
