I think at the moment, there is no alternative method.
From the snippets of information that I have seen around, the sports mode for the LCD triple / Atari gauges seems to be enabled via the BCM.
(I have heard of a person that has the non LCD headunit that had his LCD gauges converted to sports mode with a 6cyl model).
He then purchased a new LCD Gauge (SIC) module from an SV6 model (again with the non LCD headunit), hoping
that it was some setting on the LCD gauges, and that they would just work with his radio.
This was not the case, the new gauges operated the same way as the previous gauges.
I have two different BCMs (not including the BCM in my car right now), that I am hoping to get a chance to play with.
One is from a HSV Model, the other from a Calais.
Hopefully I get some time soon. I am hoping to dump the EEPROMs from these, and try and set the VIN numbers and see if I can get them working on my car.
If I can do that, then I am hoping to see what features I gain or lose, depending on the BCM fitted.
(I will be fitting them to a Calais V, so it will be interesting to see if things like puddle lamps, or tire pressure monitoring work or start working ?)
I hope this helps ?
