BMW F-Series Shifter

F-Series shifter integration is available in firmware v0.35.0 or above.

Wiring

Only CAN 1 is required.

Important

The shifter operates at a CAN bitrate of 500K. All devices on the bus must operate at the same speed.

Enable the shifter by setting an available CAN Channel mode to BMW F-Seres Shifter.

The F-Series shifter will appear to the TCM as a collection of individual switches rather than a Shifter Position Input.

Each of the following switch inputs must have their input source set to CAN (Preset).

Switch	Note
Park Request Switch	Button at top of shifter. Available from Neutral or Reverse. Unlock button on RHS required to exit Park.
Reverse Request Switch	Active when pushed fully forward (2 notches) from Neutral. Unlock button on RHS required.
Neutral Request Switch	Active when pushed forward while from Drive or pulled backward from reverse.
Drive Mode Switch	Active when pulled backward from Neutral, or fully backward (2 notches) from Park with Unlock button.
Manual Override Switch	Active when shifter is pushed left into M/S position. Must be in Drive first.
Up Shift Switch	Active when pulled backwards from left M/S position
Down Shift Switch	Active when pushed forwards from left M/S position

Info

If Drive/Manual is exited while the shifter is in the left M/S position, the shifter will move itself back to the centre rest position.

The brightness of the shifter’s illumination backlight is controlled by the CAN Shifter Brightness table found under OEM Functions.
