Cruise control buttons

 

The OEM CAN protocol must always be activated first

When enabled, extra options for the activated CAN OEM PROTOCOL is available inside MTune.

 

 

Note: The below steering wheel Cruise control buttons requires a wired digital input and configured as BMW MS 43 Steering Wheel Buttons.

 

Cruise control buttons on the BMW 330i. Set speed by pressing SET, press (and hold) ACC to accelerate or DEC to decelerate. To stop the Cruise control feature, press brake pedal or press the OFF button.

 

 

Use the steering wheel buttons for any other than Cruise control.

1. Be sure to disable the Cruise control function in MaxxECU.

 

2. The steering wheel Cruise control buttons is transmitted to the digital input 4 (DIN 4) of MaxxECU (when using our M54 plugin), make sure the DIN 4 function is enabled as BMW MS 43 Steering Wheel Buttons.

 

Available now in the whole system to be used as anything is a new RealTime Data value called BMW Buttons.

 

3. By using an internal output, and use the BMW Buttons as a condition, a digital input functions can be triggered from inside the system, like on the above example, when cruise control ON/OFF button is pressed, the rolling launch feature is activated.

Wheel circumference must always be calibrated using an OEM CAN protocol

When we calibrate the wheel speeds from an OEM vehicle (to make an OEM CAN Protocol), we always use the stock wheel sizes, so to get correct wheel speeds within MaxxECU, you must calibrate your wheel dimensions, since they are used to show you the correct speed in MaxxECU.
