Amber DRL Done! (Using Forscan only)

[arcangelmk]

There are three sets of files that you need for programming and a file you need for AsBuilt data. You are flashing the software for the HCM, LDCMA, and LDCMB modules.

Ensure there are no DTCs or annotate which DTCs are there if you don't want to clear them.

1. Download the current software for those three modules via Forscan.
2. Backup your AB data for those three modules.
3. Flash HCM.
4. Flash LDCMA.
5. Flash LDCMB.
6. Go back through the AB data for each module and write the AB data from the DH SC or GTD into those modules.
7. Restore the block that has your VIN in the HCM (if it was changed).
8. Clear any DTCs.
9. Turn the car off, turn the car back on.

Ensure you are connected to a battery tender that is supplying a constant 12V the entire time. Flash every piece of the module, don't flash just a single file. Each module should have multiple files.

Is there a link to the discord to view these files?

After giving this thought over the past week, I've decided not to do it. There's no "off" phase for the turn signal. There's too much liability in case of an accident. I'm all for doing this but I wouldn't risk it where the blame for something that definitely wasn't your fault could be thrown back on you because of this. Once someone much smarter than me figures out how to make them function with an "off" phase I'm on board.

I’m confused by “There's no "off" phase for the turn signal.”

They can't just dim, they have to be in a phase where they're totally off.

So much data is collected on our cars it would be easy to show you chose to modify it. Again, I think this is cool as sh*t, but I can't do it in its current iteration.

Just did mine, super simple, especially for a job 2.

Did you use the beta version of Forscan? Tried to download says its been discontinued....

 

[arcangelmk]

Yep, the link is no longer there.

If you want it, DM me, I can hook you up; but you're on your own for the license, or if you brick one of the modules flashing the firmware.
