General Information

Much of this information is based on articles by Project Gus [1]. Thank you for reverse engineering!

Pinout and Connector

The BMW part number of the connector is 9132576-02, the TE part number is 2-929423-2 but the connector is not freely available from TE [2].

4 Blue/Red PT-CAN High
5 White/Blue PT-CAN2 Low

CAN Bus

The Powertrain CAN Bus has a baud rate of 500kBaud.

GWS sends a "heartbeat" to CAN ID 0x55e and more frequent 4-byte GWS status message to CAN ID 0x197:[3]

Status message Byte Meaning
0 CRC8 of bytes 1-3 (poly=0x1d, init=0x0, xor=0x53)
1 Counter value, 4 bits wide, should change each message, never 0x0F
2 Lever position
3 Park button (0xC0 normally, 0xD5 if Park is pressed)

Lever position byte values include:

Value Meaning
0x0E Centre middle
0x1E Pushed "up" (towards front of car)
0x2E Pushed "up" two notches
0x3E Pushed "down" (towards back of car)
0x4E Pushed "down" two notches
0x7E Centre side
0x5E Pushed "side and up"
0x6E Pushed "side and down"

To update the GWS appearance, message ID 0x3FD has to be sent every 50-100ms:

Byte Meaning
0 CRC8 of bytes 1-4 (init=0x0, poly=0x1d, xor=0x53)
1 4-bit counter (must increment each message), not 0x0F
2 Payload byte 0
3 Payload byte 1
4 Payload byte 2

Payload byte 0 controls the GWS appearance:

Payload byte 0 Display
0x00 Blank gear selection (appears off)
0x20 P
0x80 D
0x81 D, can move to M/S
0x81 M/S (if lever moved to side)
0x40 R
0x60 N
+ 0x08 To flash the selected gear light

Payload bytes 1 & 2 are ignored by the GWS.

CAN Diagnostics

BMW UDS uses "extended 11-bit ISO-TP addressing", and the GWS responds to at least some standard UDS requests sent to ID 0x5e (first byte of CAN messages).[4]
