Alright I've got some info. Attached image is a comparison of both dash pieces. The top piece is the M-Performance dash. The bottom piece is the original (non-M) dash. Important to note that this is the standard ambient lightning, not the M-ambient. Notice that the M-performance dash has 2 female connectors and the original dash has 1 female. My technician said that in order to connect them you would need a splitter or Y-connector to connect the 1 male from the head unit to the 2 females on the M-performance dash piece. I obviously didn't have that adapter so I'm running without it connected, so I can't help beyond that. But hopefully the picture is helpful! Tomorrow I can take a closer look at the original now that it is removed, maybe on the connector itself I can give the specs of the port. Last edited by orionstudt; 08-02-2023 at 05:27 PM.. |

Night time update - I have ambient lighting on the dash with the single connector that my technician did! This is without the splitter they mentioned. I have confirmed that it is controllable via the interior lighting settings in iDrive. Picture attached

I would have gone for genuine steering wheel trim on mine but only if i could have got it with the leather parts (sides of bottom stalk) in alcantara to match the rest of my trims but i can only find it like that without the heater button hole

Yea that’s a shame. I prefer the leather to the alcantara but the alcantara knee pads are nice. Despite the slightly larger gaps that the center console pieces add

Have been dithering about buying the MP trims for ages but admittedly the thought of removing the screen is putting me off. I'd love if someone could confirm that it has to be removed rather than "might be best" if it was removed?? |

EDIT: forget everything I said. What I just described I believe is a different in ID7 versus ID8 ambient on that panel. Because I just looked up a ID8 M3 ambient light, and it looks like yours. So I really wonder what that second connector is for! |

Don't suppose anybody out there has found a howto on removing ID8 screen/fitting MPerf Dash trims - all my research has come up blank??? Still a bit discouraged but not completely put off until I see what's entailed. |

Finally got round to installing the kit myself. You might find some useful information here.

So much better than the original gloss black, that I just hate. I had the aluminum for the center console, but the large piece above the vents and glove box of course was the gloss black. |
