SLI activation on i3?

[Bertone]

Hi,
Has anyone suceeded in having the SLI (speed limit information) icon displayed on the instrument cluster ?

There seems to be an emulator device that you plug in to the car that tricks the ECU to show the SLI without having the factory on board camera option installed.

I've seen this on other BMW models but not for the i3.. Here is an example on an F30:

Instead of costing 400 EUR as above, here is a chinese one for only 30 EUR.

Apparently, you need to buy this gadget, install it to your speedo and do some coding with Bimmercode (for instance).

Anyone ???

Yes, I've just done it with the one on aliexpress
I have the UK version of i3, although the page said the module is for kmh, it didn't show the kmh word and the cluster as some of the pictures in the comments do.
After a simple install, I only needed to code two values
HU_NBT
SPEEDLIMIT_INFO active
KOMBI
SPEED_LIMIT active

So does this display the speed limit in mph?

Thanks.
