Getting X drive status display working

I have April 2013 F25 (vehicle i-step f025-13-03-502) with all of the options. X5 (and maybe X6) have a nice "X Drive Status" display where the user can display vehicle pitch/roll angles and Torque Distribution.

Here's a neat youtube demo of it:

Coding it enabled on my NBT, I can get the displays. However, on pitch/roll I can only see roll angles, the pitch angle and grade % is just "--". I attempted flipping the switch of using an internal gyro in the NBT but it didn't change anything, and I understand that it possibly relies on the ICM module for those values. Has anyone got this fully functional?

I enabled the tongue distribution screen, but I dont know if it is working or not as it apparently only shows activity when it is actively working to switch torque, and just driving on a paved road wont make it light up. If anyone confirms that just turning it on via NBT coding does the trick that would be helpful too.

F10 Xdrive status display

Got some time today to code this on my 2016 F10. Shows the pitch and tilt angles well, but didn't get any torque values lit up. May have been driving too conservatively. Compass direction seems true. More about the vehicle gyro calculation than where you see the nose of the car pointing. Nav screen compass seems spot on. Cute that the X5 body shows up.

I got exactly same result on my 2015 F10. No Torque values at all.

You assume wrong. It is a hardware issue, not a coding issue.

And if it was that simple, you wouldn't need a CAFD dump. All you would need to do was chnage FA Date to newer date and VO Code ICM.
