Yeah, one thing I learned when I started coding my F80 is that typically, several parameters are interdependent on other parameters across multiple modules in order to turn on a new feature. Typically, one parameter is tied to a display (i.e. showing you a new option in an iDrive menu or a dash light, etc) and another parameter is actually necessary to "turn on" the feature.

A good example of this is turning on rear fogs in the F3x/F8x (and I am sure the X7 has rear fogs hidden in there too....).
I've been trying to activate the rear fog lights for some time now.
The issues are assuming they are located in the bumper and not the tail lights assembly
1) there are hardware limitations as in the US these units are merely reflectors without the actual bulbs.
2) the physical switch is missing from the lights switch unit left to the steering wheel. The place is actually blank and missing the button.


Waiting for someone to crack that to copy
