It was in the kit, but I just connected them directly, heat shrunk and taped over it.
But white from car to yellow from the box, right? I was confused here, but found out the white one was power. So if something was soldered badly here it might have caused a short, but it’s also likely the box was faulty as it must redirect the power to the center console. I haven’t opened it, but since it redirects the power it might be something happening there. My guess though is that this wiring was not good enought (or faulty box), causing a problem. To be sure I would also change box, and open the one you have to see if something is fryed.
I believe you are bound to this type of module, but havent heard anyone else having issues when everything is connected correctly, so I would try it again - betting on a faulty unit, but that is your decision

Yes, removed the white wire (pin 12) from the OEM connector and replaced it with the white one from the module, then spliced the white OEM to the yellow wire on the module.But white from car to yellow from the box, right?

Good point, I will have to open the module to see if something fried. I'll purchase a new one, but would rather purchase it from somewhere else.
All the same as me, so must be something else.. Basically like winning the lottery..
This is the exact one I bought if it’s usefull. For all I know the modules are all the same - but with China you never know. Might also be same same but different sometimes.
Did you make any progress at the dealership?
Actually this hasn’t happened again in a week after installing this kit, may have just been a One off.
I’ve had the m1/m2 retrofit installed for quite a while, and I’ve never seen that message. My guess is it’s a one off for you.
As many of the posts in this thread are deleted and many links does not work anymore, does anyone know which M1 M2 kit is recommended today? Has anyone painted or found buttons in other colors than red?
For those who's interested; I went for the OEM solution from Infinite Autowerks; BMW G Series 2/3/4/Z Series M1 M2 Buttons - Infinite Autowerks
