Is the wiring directly into the board by yourself absolutely necessary or just a matter of competance of the installer?

I would say it is necessary as the internals of the stalk are a bit fiddly and the wiring requires soldering + modification needed to the board. I wouldn't supply it as a DIY kit unfortunately.

That's a shame as I would not wish to "exchange" the lever assembly.

There's the option for you to send me your stalk to have the kit fitted to it as I mentioned in the post.

Just wondering why you'd need special hardware to achieve this as I've had this in both of my cars, early 75 and ZT-T 260, for years ?
There's a hidden feature in the LSM that does just that, you can code it with Navcoder for instance, or other BMW iBus tools such as BMW Scanner...

Oooo, instructions and a link would be most appreciated.

Well I would have to dig out my Resler USB interface and my XP/T4 laptop to grab a few screenshots.
I actually enabled it on my cars through another mean, I have Intravee setups in both for iPod connectivity and the Intravee also allows for limited LCM coding, including this indicator lazy function, which also enables you to select the number of blinks (3, 4, 5...)

Well all previous documentation on this forum on this subject and all advise from the t4 and techy guru's have all said this function could not be enabled on our standard LSMs, so this is the first I'm hearing that it can be done. The only person I know to achieve it another way was by installing a newer LSM from a BMW.

I'll take some time later today (work permitting) to do some video of my cars to show you the thing...
