unlike on f-series where you can simply remove the missing button and modify to make the plug a pushable button and code the rest, the f15 does not play nice.

one is required to code, certainly, but also purchase a lighting switch from euro model to get the button. this works out nicely anyway for me as i would want the OEM backlit button for a clean install.

ordered the switch and was a ten minute swap of the switches. the coding was already done and waiting for an active switch a while ago.

bonus was i completely forgot about the new input now being made available to the 6WB retorfit cluster and the new light i would get for when the switch was on. love it.

in no particular order here are the swap photos i took and at the bottom the final result with the OEM euro rear fogs turned on.

not sure why so many people said this was not possible in all the threads i read on here but here i am to prove it is and easily done, at that!

Just wandering for 2018 x5 I need to change the lighting switch with fog light button as direct plug and play? What do I have to code to make it work,

Thanks
