My Skin under construction: BMW Style

Hi, I'm making a new skin for my E46 bimmer. It's inspired from those images found on a thread originaly made for Centrafuse but never release:

And this is my skin:

It's not a really complete, I actualy done 65% of the skin, and I don't know when it will be finished:peep:

You can see the skin in this video:

Probably an iBus controller of some sort. Like this one. Works only for BMW and Mini however.

@AzN_Tuan: Nice job on the skin. Also the white dashboard illumination is a nice touch. I see you got the LTS working. Never managed to do this on my E39... :(

Hi, I used the Resler's iBus interface in serial mode, it works just fine like you see, i'm very happy to use it!

What do you mean with "LTS" ?

The Light Test Sequence in iBusRR. Or did you use another way to make the lights come on in that funky style? :)

Total n00b question:

How did you get the steering wheel controls linked up?
Presuming you don't have a head unit...
