2012 X5 Sport with heated steering wheel and shift paddles
Purchased X5M heated steering wheel with DCT shift paddles

After installing the X5M steering wheel, everything worked.
The next day I noticed when attempting to use the volume buttons it would bring up the phone menu instead. The only way to increase or lower the volume was directly from the radio knob.

Swapped over the multi function buttons from the old wheel. All the multi function buttons including the volume buttons work. However the DCT paddles don't not work.
The DME is showing an error code for the shift paddles, inoperable.

Is there a modification I need to do to get this working?
Just wanted to provide an update.
Finally got the X5M paddles to work. Had to match the resistors from the original sport paddles.
There are no resistors in the X5M paddles.
