M Performance Steering Wheel M6
Installed MP steering wheel and my installer is having difficulty getting LCD to turn on. Power and ground are going to the wheel. He's checked and triple checked instructions. Can anyone chime in with possible cause? I've searched and found from a loose wire to maybe it's in sport or race mode where led's don't light up. Any help would be appreciated

You're all over the place here. So both the LCD and the LED don't turn on?
The LEDs light up in sport and race modes. You can quickly test it by setting the LED to light up at a low rpm in the settings screen. Of course, all this is moot if you LCD doesn't display anything to begin with. That's an install issue. In any case, my preowned car came with this wheel. I had a hell of a time figuring out how to use it. I was able to get BMW Genius to give me the full user manual (this is different than the install manual). If you want this user manual, let me know your email and I can send it to you (BMW Genius took 2 weeks to send it to me).

There is something wrong with the installation. When I turn the car on all the leds light up and the lcd display shows m performance then disappears. To turn on then hold both buttons together for a couple of seconds.

Weird. I had the wheel installed but after the car starts up the lights flash and then the lights turn off. My tech told me it's because it missing lane change and night vision packages and I should order another steering wheel column. I have the '16 F13 with Competition Package. Did you happen to experience anything like I am ?

I had the same issue when installing my M wheel. I don’t have heated wheel so I had to replace the steering wheel column ($450) for a ground. Still couldn’t get the wheel to turn on so I eventually took to dealer and they reprogrammed $600
