Blank buttons in your interior are a reminder that the original owner skipped some options. This innovative button kit replaces the two blank buttons on your steering wheel with functional M1 and M2 buttons. It’s essentially a wiring kit that allows you to change drive modes right from your steering wheel in addition to the toggle switch on your center console. Best of all, it doesn’t require any coding or soldering. It’s 100% plug-and-play and fully reversible if you ever decide to go back to stock.

I just came across your channel. As an old-school BMW enthusiast, I am always intrigued by what people are doing with these newer models. It saves me the hassle of trying one myself. For sure, the build quality hasn’t gotten better 😂. Anyway, I’ll subscribe and watch what else you’ll be doing-cheers from the UK.

[@ryancaso]

I was a beta tester for these buttons for Greg. It's a very well made product and he's a nice guy.

[@The_journeyy]

I have to say this man has made me want a BMW so badly after seeing some of the mods he's done Justin is killing it 🔥

[@JamesF36]

Right as I stumbled across this mod a few days ago you make a video perfectly detailing how to install it! Perfect timing!

[@johnklenke4931]

Really appreciate this video Justin! Had to replace my steering wheel controls and had no idea they could be removed without having to take the steering wheel off! Made the job much easier!

[@illestprincessforeve]

Those add such a cool splash of color to the wheel that match your seats!

[@Danny_Fernandes]

Great video man love the sound effects when your popping off the connectors! Great to see the production value in your videos keep going up and up!

[@justinbuice]

Thanks! I put a lot of time into this one!

[@TheHomie024]

I was looking for this jus tthe other day!! such good timing, I ordered a Carbon fibre LED steering wheel so am stoked to get the button kit

[@othmankammah382]

Amazing as always! Ordered my set and this video is gonna make it a breeze!

[@justinbuice]

Glad I could help!

[@TheRussianRoma]

Been watching you for years. In depth detail and your video quality 👌. Keep grinding.

[@justinbuice]

I appreciate it!

[@Mertzy63]

I've been wanting to do this forever and figured it was only a matter of time until a kit was made! Thank you for the video Justin!

[@justinbuice]

Glad I can help!

[@Mertzy63]

@@justinbuice similar to the rear fog light video you uploaded, can the black "blank" steering wheel buttons be altered to be functional? I think the maker doesn't offer black buttons anymore, and they aren't offered anywhere (ebay, etc.). Thanks for your help, man.

[@m-tech1816]

Love your content! So well crafted, video style is on point, looks nice and very informative💪🏻

Pretty awesome little mod that I’m sure makes that interior feel just a bit more fun!

Great vid ! glad I can DIY this

[@alancheung9430]

Love this video. Mine is a m240i (f22). If I only enable the two buttons on the steering wheel and don't change to the new computer board, will that work?

[@richwhite2302]

Ordered. Can't wait to try this. Thank you.

You’ll love it!

[@tristianbilly001]

The popping sound when you remove connectors is so good

[@justinbuice]

😂

[@GodKing804]

Still pretty cool. Honestly wish it did more than just up and down on the menu. Like m1 was set to comfort and m2 set to sport+. I'm 50/50 on getting this.... the blank buttons on my M wheel do look annoying.

[@MeSs2007]

Could you make on of the buttons to turn of traction control completely?

[@Woah_e92]

I have a bmw 550i with the same exact steering wheel you think I will be able to do it?

[@112rorz]

Hi. I have a 650i with a retrofitted original M6 steering wheel already with the original black M1 and M2 buttons. Can I use this kit and just switch the internal board? Or it has to be the M-sport wheel with the blank buttons??

[@Remyp388]

Thank you going to order this today

[@KiesMotorsports]

Yea buddy 🔥🔥🔥

i have changed the steering wheel, can i just buy the cable for Center console wiring?

[@peterkukolik8402]

Thank you.

[@maskboyman]

What about adeptive cruise control? I want to install that.

[@tylera5010]

Great video ...the information you provide is great. I find similar issue when working on our BMWs. Do you still have your original m sport steering wheel? Would you be willing to sell it if so?

[@justinbuice]

Thanks! Unfortunatly it's already sold.

[@4x4forlyfe]

Are there any other buttons that can be installed in the same location?

[@john_does_stuff]

I love the choice of shirt color. You, sir, know what’s up.

This is dope

[@addictionsremindmeofthesum5137]

Why did you disconnect positive terminal? Aren’t you always supposed to remove negative on a battery first?

Just fitting mine and had to remove it as I got a cruise control error message.....

[@ItsAlive111]

Can you post a video on how to program a spare key for a BMW with the comfort package? Would ista be the best option?

[@justinbuice]

Hey I’ll look into it, I need another spare key myself

[@obsessivedetailyorkshire7907]

Where did you purchase the kit from?

[@TheHoodiman]

I have always thought ofthis in my f20 but wondered if i could codethe buttons to skip tracks instead

[@justinbuice]

From what I understand, it comes down to the design of the button circuit board rather than software. Although a board could probably be designed to skip tracks or control other parts of the car

[@keithbillings3649]

Still waiting on the black buttons!

[@J2dad5389]

Digital dashboard next?!

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

That's pretty cool. They should have made it this way from the factory.

[@justinbuice]

I agree. Blank buttons on the steering wheel are lame especially considering how much these cars were new

[@B58J]

Does the buttons light up at night 7:22

[@antoniocarrion340i7]

How does your time and date look like that? Looks really modern I like it

[@justinbuice]

Does yours look different on your f30?

[@typejlb]

I hope they come out with a remote start kit that uses a factory key. I'd like to have that feature on my F30.

[@viciousninja7053]

That would be awesome! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

[@JB-li1gh]

Don't they have a remote start kit already for the F30?

[@typejlb]

@@JB-li1gh I believe they do. However, it's a separate remote. It's not integrated with your OEM key.

[@JB-li1gh]

@@typejlb screw that. I wouldn't want to carry around an extra fob just to have remote start. Yeah, id prefer if it was functional on OEM key like the new G-series.

[@viciousninja7053]

@@JB-li1gh I agree! I wouldn't want to carry around two remotes. I'm sure some company will make one, one day. I wonder if gatesinnovations is in the making of a remote start key for the F30.

[@grammat1k98]

What exactly do you use to lubricate the buttons?

[@riaz4030]

Vaseline

I order it but now every time i enter my car he doesnt recognise my key. So i need to put the key to the steering column and hold start/stop untill it regonize it. But when i leave the car and close it and open it again i need to do it again….. F30 2019

[@cb500]

nothing to do with this harness but with your battery which must be replaced

[@domaust7605]

I don't have a m sports steering wheel like you. I have the two blank spots and m sports package on my 2015 330i f30. Does that mean this won't work for me

You need the M Sport wheel, otherwise the new circuit board wont fit

Not gonna happen unless you have an actual M car

you seriously need to do a 6wb retrofit!!

thats like the only thing your interior is missing. those base model gauges got to go. otherwise ur interior is 100% perfect and inspired me to restore my f30

[@bitcoochie4093]

@@xqnime I️ prefer the analog gauges on my 340, it reminds me of my dads old e39

@@bitcoochie4093 i agree, I like the analogue gauges myself. It’s like the difference between a mechanical watch and an Apple watch. Although I do wish I had the upgraded gauge cluster with the larger screen at the bottom

[@bitcoochie4093]

@@justinbuice you’re not missing out on much it just displays avg mpg and range, and also directions only if you’re using the bmw nav. It is a nice blend of old and new though

[@rorisxng]

Why do these vehicles have a sport and sport+ setting?? Surely if I want to be in Sport I want all the smoke??

[@CL2005]

I think there is a fine line between a nicely modded non M car and M Car wannabe. These buttons tip it over that line unfortunately.. in black maybe...

[@Ratalala]

You should really clean the insides of everything you took out near gear shifter😁 Kit is extremely expensive 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those buttons look awful.

Tbh, I think the next mod should be the digital cluster. I know it's an expensive one, but it surely would look a lot better!
