Hello guys,

Last weekend I took a stab at coding my car for the first time, and did:

- Digital Speedometer
- Disabled digital corrector for real speed
- Instant MPG
- Enabled corrector for real analog speed
- Enabled windows/roof closing with FOB
- Enabled headlight sensitivity sensor selection in BC dash menu

I wanted to code new features, but wouldn't know how and what. Why don't you guys go crazy and name a few I could/should do, please?

The ones I thought first were:

- Right mirror down during reverse (don't know if it works on my car, don't know how to do)
- Blinking brake lights (Brake Force Display, don't know how to do)
- Double blinking warning lights (don't know how to do)

What else?
If anyone knows how to do the above, can you please assist me with the appropriate line I should change?

Thanks a bunch!

I wouldn't mind doing the brake force display myself, looks interesting!

Do you know what FRM you have? If it's FRM1 (FRMFA) the double blink hazards are enabled with nettodat coding.

I'm not sure... How can I find out?

I have only used NCS Expert, how would I use nettodat?

Thanks for shedding a light! Not only does this look complicated, but the fear of messing with the car make me not go in too deep with fiddling with the tools...

When you code, do you select FRM or NFRM? What does the last line on the NCSexpert window say when coding? It should list the daten file it's using. If it starts with FRMFA then you have the original FRM1.

Nettodat coding is still done with NCSexpert.

To enable double blink hazards on FRMFA:
1) Read FRM with NCSexpert. NETTODAT.TRC pops up in a window with a bunch of numbers, you can close it.
2) Find NETTODAT.TRC in your work folder you use for normal coding. Open it in Notepad or whatever text editor you use to code
3) Look for the line that begins with 00340500. It should be something like 00340500,0010,95,........
4) Change the 95 to 97
5) Save the file as NETTODAT.MAN to the same folder
6) Go back to NCSexpert, click basic functions, select coapiCodeSgByNettoDATA.
7) Type NETTODAT.MAN in the box that pops up and click OK. It should then code FRM and you will have double hazards.

This might get reset if you code something on the FRM in the future, so in the future do your normal coding first, then you have to go back and do this procedure again afterwards to re-enable the double blink.

Oh, I understand what you mean by nettodat now... I Thought it was a software lol. It's just a file instead of the FSW_PSW (or something). Got it, thanks a lot!!!!!

I'll check if I have the one you said and the data file (never really got a chance to see them) when I get the cable back in the car.

Any chance I can see it through the files I had already pulled in my work folder?

Bump for ideas

This worked like a charm!!!!!!

THANKS SO MUCH! You're a genius

I wasn't successful, however, in coding the fog light to work as brake light (and, because of that, I think I was not successful in coding the blinking brake light as well)... Any ideas?

[VTECaddict]

You want the rear fogs to come on with the normal brake lights? They come on with heavy braking by default.

Oh they do? Didn't know that... I wanted them to come on with regular braking, though unsure it would be nice.
What I had in mind was to set them to come on while braking, and then warning blinker come on during heavy braking.

Does that make sense?

I tried to code for warning bfd (wert_03), but NCS expert gave error when coding everytime.

So now the car blinks 6 times on one-touch and has double hazard blinks (euro). I was also able to change the cruise control display from mph to km/h.
I also did the mod to HVAC so that whenever I press the auto button the ac does not turn on automatically.

Tried setting mirror to tilt in reverse, didn't work (no memory mirror).

Is it possible to code and deactivate the anti-trap window feature?

Are you referring to the window stopping when you open the door? If so, there is a setting in FRM similar to STOP_MAUT something. Set to not active.

No, I meant the anti-pinch feature.

The one you mentioned I tried, but didn't like. It doesn't work well: when your windows are rolling up, you open the door and it doesn't stop going up. But if you close the door before it reaches up all the way, it starts descending all the way. Very weird. So I went back to stock.

Can you share the steps to change the Cruise Control? I am actually looking to do the opposite - I need to go from kph to mph.

Thanks,

I believe that is controlled by inside the car no coding is necessary.
iDrive go to settings
No iDrive use cluster to access the cars settings.

Bump anyone got more ideas?
