Coding to display gears in D

Hi,

Does anyone know how to code to display the current gear at all times while in D, similar to Alpina flash.

My car only displays active gears while in S sport mode, but I would like to code it to have in D mode aswell.

Thanks

I think the only way is either to flash your gearbox with the Alpina map or use xHP

There is a long thread and a support thread on the xHp. Not sure about the alpina. I think it is not as easy as it was for the e90s.

Search the forum I am sure you will find your answer.

Flashing Alpina is not for all models.

You will need xHP.

I have a 335xd as Alpina diesel is based on the same car. Not bothered about XHP to be honest.

But yeah, I found a guide on how to do it with ESYS as alpina comes with PSZD data aswell so I'll hopefully flash the map this weekend If I can get the psu first.

Thanks

If you only want to flash the Alpina software you don‘t need the power supply.
The Alpina flash takes only 3 minutes.
The battery can do this even without a power supply.
I've done this several times.

Didn’t saw you had a 335xd.

Then your cheapest and best option would be Alpina flash yes!
