Post F30 Physical Switch for stock Valve Actuator?

I have a 2015 328i with a Valvetronic Exhaust that re-uses the stock valve actuator. I currently use Bimmerlink & the CG Precision valve controller system, but personally don't like either.

Is there a way to install a physical switch to open or close the exhaust flap on my F30? Thanks!

any reason why you don't like the cg valve controller? Just ordered mine in default setting to be auto(factory) and activated to open.

It doesn’t seem to work for me when the engine is off or when the car has been running for a while. I have to have BimmerLink open at all times cause of how unreliable the CG Precision controller is, but even then I have a lot of connectivity issues with BimmerLink and my obd2 adapter (curiously no connection issues with BimmerCode). I’d rather just have a reliable 3 position toggle switch (Open, Auto, Close).

Which ob2 adapter are you using?
