I never used it because I did swap/program/coding for the M button, but find superw0fy's sketch on here somewhere. With IKM0S, it sniffs media button press and uses it for sport and hold down longer to disable DSC. CIC/CCC coded as 1M/param disabled should stop default op for media Sounds like it at least already does part of what you're looking for.

I have read my RAD2.C51 module but it does not seem to have any parameters to enable M-button:

Do I need to add something in VO?

I have found such option in RAD22.C34 but I dont have such module.

Nothing in RAD or CIC will enable M button, just disable/ignore media button.

From old notes, it looks like M may use $663 professional audio and the RAD12 or RAD22. Both of those have MDrive coding options on/off and I can only assume enabling MDrive would stop looking for/using media source ID because I can't test myself.

I'm not sure if 1M ever came with no nav, but M3 did. You can try setting VO as M3 vehicle code, E9x chassis, MDrive option $2MD and possibly alter build date. I don't think early M3s had an option for it without CIC. MDrive with no nav came later.

With VO in, should then probably have a module for RAD12 or RAD22 to default code. If anything fails, go back to stock VO and default code with that on RAD to restore.

I can do it on my bench setup.

I'm not sure if 1M ever came with no nav, but M3 did. You can try setting VO as M3 vehicle code, E9x chassis, MDrive option $2MD and possibly alter build date. I don't think early M3s had an option for it without CIC. MDrive with no nav came later.
It already has $663 for professional radio. If I add $2MD option 2RAD disappears and MCIC appears.
You can try setting VO as M3 vehicle code
How do I do that? Maybe this is the key. Maybe it converts radio to RAD22.

It similar to this with respect to vehicle code.
Post in thread 'Coding M modules in a non M car'
https://www.spoolstreet.com/threads/coding-m-modules-in-a-non-m-car.6190/post-93418
Tried to add *PM93 M3 sedan code, but nothing changes jus M3DSC appeared.
Rad22 may be a different version of Rad firmware and so you may need to flash it to get it there.
I dont see such RAD22 in winKFP. How to find which module is RAD22 which I need to flash?

Make sure correct chassis and build dates are set also and no $SA options that would override defaults remain in your $SA list. For instance, deleting CIC, but keeping a separate nav SA will code for CIC. Settings need to be accurate for car/years/country options were actually available. You can try 1M vehicle code as well, I'd think physical radio would cross chassis.

I'm heading to work, so don't have time to look anything up. You will need to dig through BMW info/SA list or online to lookup options.

Interesting that it has $2MD Mdrive $663 radio professional & $6VC Control Combox?

Tried setting several different FA with
#1209 year month
*KG93 M3
$2MD mdrive
$663 professional radio
Something like this:
Code:

But still if I add $2MD I loose 2RAD and I see MCIC. What could I try next?

Don't just copy a full VO from an M3, it has equipment your car doesn't or vice versa. Just need one for reference to see what specific options, if any, are needed for one with no CIC and what build dates those M3s occurred in. aus335iguy may be right and there could be a hardware or program difference for your case that won't make it this easy either, but correct VO should at least show the corresponding modules for it, even if they can't be coded properly with them.

Keep you original base options, set E92_, KG93 and that build date. If no RAD12 or RAD22, could still try default coding RAD like that and see if the media button stops working radio (but radio is working). $2MD may not be necessary, that may be the CIC version only. I'd look at module list with and without $2MD in the VO. If that doesn't work, I'd try 1M next. E82 chassis, *UR93, #0311. Try that with and without $2MD and see what the module list shows.

I did not find the way to enable M button on BMW Professional Radio (RAD2) unit. If anyone will find out let me know...

Again, the M button is not "enabled" through the radio or CIC, the media function of the non-M button is stopped by coding them.

To enable the button for M functions, need to swap/flash/code or use CAN messages.

I mean just to disable button on RADio.

Were you able to get a VO in that showed RAD12 or 22?
No, I did not find it, I found few M3 without CCC/CIC and tried their VO on my bench setup, but none of them showed RAD22.

Though, I have found something interesting on my real car E92. It seems that I have different RAD2 in my car, because when I try to read it it shows this:

But it might be showing RAD22, because of an error. I cant read it with D-Can cable. I have ordered Bimmerlabs cable it claims to be better than eBay. Maybe it will work and I hope my radio will be special "RAD22" radio. It has ZB. 9226408. I checked in WinKFP its module RAGML2. I tried to flash RAGML2 to my bench setup RAD2 but I get an error. So I think I might be on to something. Any ideas?

Is it possible to check if "RAGML2" modeule in WinKFP is so called "RAD22"?

RAD2 ZB. and WinKFP module:
Of my bench setup:
MOSTGW...: 9199438 - RA2SL2
MASK/CCC: 9205965 - RA2CL2
Of my car:
MOSTGW...: 9240365 - RAGML2
MASK/CCC: 9240310 - RADPLUS2

I wonder why do they differ? its some kind of different RAD2 units. RAGML2 might be RAD22.

No idea, I've never owned one without CIC, so I haven't paid much attention. 2020 is module not installed/functioning/responding, but possible it's just a comm error on the cable.

I ran through a couple VO iterations and 2MD definitely looks CIC only. When I have EDC ($223) and $663/no CIC, it only has 2URAD with RAD2.C0x. That was the same for M3 and 1M. It looks like M3 with M Drive and no iDrive were mid 2011, so I used 2011 build dates. 1Ms were in that same date range.

There may be/probably are different hardware setups and firmware, but no idea if M/non-iDrive is any different than non-M/non-iDrive. Coding may be relatively harmless, but flashing wrong ZBs may not be.

Except for SZL, the non-iDrive M Drive retro fits on M3 seem straightforward. I really don't know how much benefit it would be for how much effort you might put in. The only reason I even bothered with it at all was that I lost sport mode to the DME after switching to M3 EGS.

My car has RAD2 with RAD22.C33 software:
MOSTGW...: 9240365 - RAGML2
MASK/CCC: 9240310 - RADPLUS2
RAD22-C33.png

How ever I am unable to read and code it with D+KCan cable.

But still RAD22.C33 does not have RAD22_MDRIVE option. Only RAD22.C32 & RAD22.C34 has it. So my question is how to know which ZUB software version numbers represent RAD22.C32 & RAD22.C34? Is there a way to find that out? I would try to update.

I was able to read RAD22 with Bimmerlabs K+DCAN cable! So now the only remaining question is:
How do I change RAD22.C33 to RAD22.C34?

I believe you’re on the right track. I think you’d need to flash the Rad but you need the correct ZSUB. Even buying another RAD might be a cheap way in.

Here's an interesting data point. After doing my full M3 swap, including SZL and steering wheel, the M button works as intended, but pressing the M Button ALSO changes the radio source, and pressing the radio source button changes the circulate on the IHK, so both buttons are functioning the same as the 135. Both RAD and IHK are from the 135... Looks like I need to code those two to change the function of the buttons.

So, the M SZL outputs the packet for the M Button status, but also outputs its status in the normal button packet as well. Not what I would have expected.

I was lucky to find this page where person lists his RAD22.C34 ZB numbers: https://www.drive2.ru/l/526661397854029376/
zbbbb.PNG

zb222.PNG


RAD22.C34:
MOSTGW....: ZB - 9263483 PartNr - 9263481
MASK/CCC.: ZB - 9263461 PartNr - 9263460

It differs from my ZB and from ones I see in WinKFP. I have looked into RAGML2.HWH and RADPLUS2.HWH, they contain these PartNr's:

RAGML2.HWH as in Identification (9263481A G):
Code:
9218820A G , 9223157A G , 9225858A G , 9229649A G , 9231947A G , 9231708A G , 9235016A G , 3456380A G , 9242516A E , 9240199A G , 9243817A G , 9245878A G , 3456604A E , 9242785A G , 9245490A G , 9243932A G , 9249434A G , 9258186A G , 9253966A G , 9258152A G , 9263481A G , 9274600A G , 9283724A G , 9281809A G , 9285559A G , 9289128A E , 9302172A F , 9313816A E , 9339226A E , 9343220A F ;

RADPLUS2.HWH as in Identification (9263460A G):
Code:
9229627A E , 9231929A E , 9231680A G , 9234994A G , 9242508A F , 9240187A G , 9242767A G , 9243914A G , 9245466A G , 9249422A G , 9258165A G , 9253948A G , 9258127A G , 9263460A G , 9274580A G , 9283703A G , 9281781A G , 9285538A G , 9289107A E , 9302145A E , 9313786A E , 9343199A F ;

I believe the latest version for RAD22.C34 from WinKFP are the last ones in from RAGML2.HWH and RADPLUS2.HWH listed above:
MOSTGW....: ZB - 9343222 (PartNr - 9343220A)
MASK/CCC.: ZB - 9343200 (PartNr - 9343199A)

I tried updating my RAD2 - RAGML2 and RADPLUS2 with those ZB's, but I get an error:
er.PNG


Does this mean that we need different hardware of RAD2 to flash it? Or I need to flash it somehow differently?
Any other ideas?
