m performance electronic steering wheel

Hello,

Does anyone here know, or have any experience with coding the m performance electronic steering wheel, if even possible? Specifically, I'm looking to to turn the LCD display on when the car starts, and keep in on until I turn the car off. I poked around in the software a little but failed to find anything that references the wheel.

Thanks!

I can't help with you question, but since you're looking for the wheel to come on with the ignition, how does it turn on now? Is there a power toggle? In sport+ mode?

There are two buttons on the wheel (10 & 2) and need to be held down for a second for the LCD to come on. The two buttons then become a "menu" and "select" for the different screens. After 10min of inactivity the LCD turns off.

It can't be coded due to safety provisions for the steering wheel. Meaning, during extreme weather (very hot or very cold) the steering wheel will not work to protect the electronic board. It's actually stated in the owners manual.

^on another note, will F32 electronic steering wheel fit the F82? I was wondering if I can transfer the one from my F32 over.
