Is it possible to transplant the 5 arm spider of a Shimano XTR FC-M950 to a XT FC-M739?

Where is the Shimano e-tube project light connection setting?

I just tried this method in late November 2023, and I believe that it may no longer be viable. Once the latest updates to the motor firmware have been made the V3.4.3 E-Tube app will no longer be able ...
