Sure. Not sure how the 1:1 translation works. I used Piwis in Developer Mode, so not sure what other tools show as menu items:
1. Code Option 8G2 (instead of option 8EF or 8JE (PDLS)) . That will give you auto high beam...
a) I did that under Lighting/Light Assistant (Dynamic High Beam), plus
b) I changed the Vehicle Order and added 8G2
2. Code Option 8WH as active (that will enable Intersection Lighting)
You have to look for these options in 3 ECUs:
a) Front camera
b) Front Light
c) BCM Front
Both options working - you have PDLS+ ... I enjoy especially the auto high beam on longer trips as it does not just switch on/off but does indeed work in steps. I did not expect it to work that smart with Xenons, but it does indeed.
Updating the VO:
I'm not totally sure if adding options to Vehicle Order is mandatory (I believe not as a first step), but I just wanted to make sure it's consistent and avoid issues in case of any future SW updates or ECU changes.
Also, if you would do future automatic coding of an ECU, Piwis checks the VO and codes accordingly. Very convenient...
With Bimmers that's a critical topic (they won't let you flash updates if there's inconsitencies)
Thanks, so I need to code all 3 ecus with the option 8GE(instead of what's there), and do the same for the intersection
I ended up ordering the same part # as Rainer, 95B959256E.
Should be here late next week or the following Monday. Hopefully that will do the trick!
I HAVE HEAT!!!
The new module showed up today, I un clipped the airbag and just held it up out of the way and replaced the module, I didn’t have to disconnect the airbag, I didn’t disconnect the battery, please do not do that, I don’t recommend it, to each their own there.
clipped the airbag back in, turned the key, clicked the steering wheel heat button.... and... nothing.
F$&@!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunnofab&$@&!!!!!!!
Deeeeep breath and a sigh.
Clicked the heated button again...
“Heated Steering wheel on” message displayed and it heated up! Waited a few minutes, shut it off and got the off message!
Awesome!! Just in time! It’s cold here today and felt so nice, and the car wasn’t even outside. Lol
So a 958.2 heated wheel can be done! I will update my separate thread on it.

I scored the wheel almost brand new from a 2019 Panamera with I think 6k mikes for $175 shipped on eBay. $130 the stalk/clockspring setup shipped on eBay, $36 for the heated wheel switch and $112 for the steering wheel control module from sunset Porsche, and $100 for the activation code, I already had the Launch. So I’m into for $553, I don’t think anyone could beat that. I got a really great deal on the wheel, likely it will be more for a wheel unless you have a connection to get one cheaper or if you upgrade to wood or carbon fiber, etc.
I somewhat justified it on my side because my stock wheel was not in grea shape. While the leather was not torn or scratched, it was shiny fro wear and the stitching had begun to pull out. I bought this car used at auction and it was a downside to buying an auction car, but I ended up better in the long run. I had to replace the steering wheel anyways, so it wasn’t too bad of a pill for me to swallow and I was able to get heat as a bonus.

Please make a guide and I'll add it to the first link. Thanks.
