I’ve had these pics from the old site on my phone for years, shows the addition of the missing LED on non ZCP clusters.
been on my list of “to do’s” maybe it will help someone here also.
edit: not my pictures and not sure who’s they are but I will give credit or remove them upon request.

My 2003.5 has the indicator but not the the led. One of my next projects is to add the led, so this is helpful - thank you.

I'd rather have it without that S LOL

I agree with that lol, I've just never seen anyone have something different

[0-60motorsports]

wait, how'd you get the "S" inside the circle? My ZCP doesn't have that lol. One petty thought I've always had was I wished the dash light was cooler.

In addition to an offer to help through PMs which I greatly appreciate...I was able to find my way through it. While the instructions are not 100% accurate there are hints in this thread that helped. I'm not qualified to rewrite them.

Could be daten file related.

I'm stuck on the same step that lynas was last year. I do not see an “SG/SGET” button on step 16. I'm an Eastern time guy, started running with the NCC at Summit and would love to make progress with this. Any helpers?

Just because you can see brake pressures doesnt mean you have mk60. Easiest way to know is if you see the DSC unit in the passenger side “drug bin” then you have an MK20 otherwise its an MK60.

Couldn't see MK60 because the vehicle production date was incorrect. Changed it to what it should have been an MK60 appeared to code to. Steep learning curve haha!

Thanks for the reply, to tell you the truth, I really don't use the option regularly just wanted to keep the car as original as possible, I'll load up the M-Track mode on it and just keep it at that until I can find the correct part(hopefully), thanks again. I can calibrate the Steering Angle Sensor with INPA right?

I think it needs to be Tool32, but not certain.

[TropicalM3]

The VIN alignment is a mistranslated error code-- what you actually need is steering angle sensor calibration.

In tool32, open the DSC_MK60.prg file. Run. LENKWINKEL_DSC_ABGLEICHEN

With the non ZCP/CSL module, you can enable M track mode, but you can't use the M track mode button to activate it. Once you turn it on (using the process in this thread), a short press of the DSC button turns on M track mode and a long press turns off DSC.

There is no way to get the original module functionality, using the M track mode button on the wheel, without a ZCP/CSL MK60. The hardware is different. Only the CSL/ZCP can receive firmware flashes, as well (if you wanted to run the race program from BMW motorsport, for example).

You can create similar(ish) functionality by wiring the steering wheel M track mode button to be your DSC button, but you'll still be stuck using the long press/short press DSC off/M track mode.

It does really suck to find a CSL/ZCP MK60, if you don't want to pay new pricing (which is crazy). It took me years, and even then someone just linked me to it in the end because they knew I was looking.

Not sure if I need to start a new thread for this but I have the ZCP package on my '06 M3 and my ABS module went to "sleep" on the rear brake side, no matter what I do I cannot get any pressure on the rear lines. The front is fine but nothing when I bleed the rears. Anyway, I checked out a new module at the dealer and they are quoting over $3000 for a new complete module so that is out the door. Cant find a used ZCP module to replace mine so I fitted a regular M3 module.
The issue I have now is that I no longer have track mode, the only code I am getting is that the VIN doesn't match which I can easily align and fix that but I want to know how do I get this module to have the same features as the original one? Is it even possible? I know the part number is different so maybe the hardware is different?
Would appreciate some help, thanks.

Hi,

Great thread, there's another company using your PDF on their site BTW.

However, I also got stuck at SG/SG GET and wrote (I'm guessing) $7MA with FA_WRITE to ALSZ and AKMB by using Change ECU. and then did SG_Codeiren for AKMB, HOWEVER, when I go to change to MK60, it's not there?? Is this a profile thing or SP_DATEN thing?

I have the light on dash and it's deffo got an MK60 as its complaining about brake pressure on circuit 2 and I can read values from it. (Ordered x2 new sensors)

Next fly in ointment, the car has F80 brakes on it at front, is it possible previous owner did something? Unlikely and I'm probs over thinking it. Mine is a 2004 SMG.

I'm probably being an idiot here. I can see DSC in list of ECU's but not overly confident that's correct.
