Coding Question

Hi I am new to coding literally just got my enet cable and esys on my laptop.

How would I code the rear lights to be off when DRL is on? I have the DRL at the moment set to the angel eyes only (halogen model) and rear lights. I want to get rid of the rear lights being on as it looks like I'm driving around with the sidelights on.

P.s I got somebody else to code the angel eyes and rear lights as DRL and this is on 520 2011 F10

If anybody knows how please let me know?

I believe what you need is is found here

FRM 3050 DRL_MODUS

Options are
0: DRL disabled;
1: DRL_H via beam, halogen U.S. (without lights);
2: DRL_L via low beam;
3: DRL_S via separate TFLeuchte; U.S. Xenon (rings + bottom);
4: TFL_S via separate TFLeuchte; ECE Xenon (rings + bottom);
5: TFL_ECE (North Country Comfort);
6: DRL_S_ohne_SL via separate TFLeuchte without taillight / tail lights, U.S.;
7: TFL_S_ohne_SL via separate TFLeuchte without tail light / rear light, EC

Suspect yours is on 4 , need to change to 7 (same as those Feb 2011 and later)

I think it's on the F10 cheat sheet that comes with e-sys, listed as FRM 3050 DRL_MODUS

Nearly there. Number 3 works for UK cars for some reason so OP should change it to number 6.

Other way of doing is to take out rear lights DRL VO from the FA and code light module.

Under that option, you should have number 3 selected.
Change it to number 6. Save CAFD file (make sure that you have backed up CAFD file).
And then write it back to your car.

Once you read the coding file, copy and paste it somewhere else as a backup.
Then edit the file.
And then code FDL.
Yes, I referred to halogen headlight.

As AP has written, your value is set to 04, you need to change this to 07

...and you will get the desired results.

Thanks all.

It's fair to say I was sweating a lot for this first code.

However it worked I changed werte value to 7 it was on 4.

It's pretty straight forward now I come to think of it

Talk about weird after coding that yesteday. My angel eyes have got brighter? its noticeably brighter, not as bright as LCI angel eyes, but not far off the Xenon Plus angel eyes? only a enthusiast would be able to tell the difference with my new LED indicator.

Its like before my daytime running light was just the sidelights and now its just the angels they've got brighter.
