The folks at canDO+ have sent me a doo-dad to test that will listen on the canbus for an M1/2 command and then send a mode command for the gauges. In theory, it should allow an owner to hit one of the M buttons and get the gauges to come up with it.

So far I've only verified that I can read the canbus and updated the module to the latest firmware. Tomorrow I'll see if we can get it to actually work. For today, I used up my annoyance allowance on the two hidden screws that are not in BMWs official R&R instructions for pulling the center console, but do have to come out before you can pull it.

In any event, time for a beverage, I'll update as we figure things out.
