Hi. I really liked the project, the code implementation! I'm just trying to figure out programming. I would like to add to the dashboard a full display of gears as on a car of the type "S1-S8" "M1-M8" I have it implemented on a car. Through my searches, I managed to find out that 197 is responsible for this, it sends the gearshift status. In addition, I would like to add the stabilization shutdown status using a separate "ESC OFF" indicator

Hi! For the gear display, it depends on your cluster that you have. If a cluster is from a manual car you will only get numbers. For the gears the project currently sends both manual gears and automatic gears, so it should work with both. But I think on an automatic F10 you will only get "DS" displayed by default. If you know how to add this, then go to BMWFSeriesCluster.cpp file and find a method sendAutomaticTransmission. There you can make your edits. If you figure it out let me know what you did, and I can add it as well.

For the ESC OFF - if we are talking about the check control ID, then you have the sendAlerts method where you can add this. But generally I am not a big fan of using this ID, that's why more of them aren't added in there currently.
