Then to access the controller you need to remove 4 panels (2 on each side), the wood trim that surrounds the gear shifter and finally the leather-trimmed piece that houses the controller. Codingwise you need to change 4 values; those are available on "the other forum"...I saw you posted there today, it's at the beginning of that same thread. credit to Milkyway!
As well as changing those values, you also need to add CAFD files and recode the NBT_HU and Combox. Otherwise your car will have error codes sitting in the background.

I've done this retrofit and it is excellent. If anyone in the UK needs help getting this done, shoot me a pm
