Hi Stanley,
You have an exceptional project/product here, I just started to build one myself for my new Bimmer 228i and stumbled across your product. Can you please support the drive modes in the new BMWs? I want to be able to determine the switching between different modes and change the interior accent lighting accordingly.

Thanks
Ashwin

Do you have idea of what protocol your car uses?

When you say "what protocol", I am assuming you are talking about the physical layer, if so, I believe it is CAN for all newer bimmer models.

If your car is CAN bus (ISO14230), it should work well.
