hey guys i have a 2005 320D ES. Its absolutely basic just in the process of an Lci conversion and 335 conversion on the rear. I was just wondering would I be able to code so I fog lights come on when unlocked? I know its already been done on newer models

Look for any value in NFRM with WL and NSW

It may even look like this:

WL_NSW
nicht_aktiv

Change to "soft_einschalten" to allow it to slowly turn on/off, or "hart_einschalten" for instant on/off with lock/unlock.

EDIT: In fact, I just found this thread posted a while back by member "BeWide" that shows you other Welcome Light possibilities.

_____________________________

nicht_aktiv -> active
WL_AL = low beam
nicht_aktiv / hart_einschalten

This won't work on cars with FRM 1 module (which is what you have).

This feature is present on the NFRM and FRM 3 modules.

This is right. You need FRM2 or FRM3.

[naz00127]

Right ok so can i fit this module or is this a big job?

[Elliott@DetailAddict]

Yup you can replace it (just get FRM3) and then retrofit it into the car. You'll have to change the production date on the module for NCS to recognize NFRM instead of FRM.

[naz00127]

ok thanks just need to source a FRM3 module now if anyone has any suggestions please let me know

[Elliott@DetailAddict]

getbmwparts.com or craigslist or ebay

[DESI4life10]

From what I heard, you only have to "simulate" the production date for NFRM modules. I believe with frm 3, you don't have to worry about that.

[naz00127]

What is the part number for a frm3 module?

[ZZZZ]

are there *any* type of welcome lights possible with FRM1? (05 production date)
also any other reason to upgrade to a FRM3? (other features) for both the OP and myself.

No man.

It has been brought up many times already. FRM 1 is limited to no wl features.

Except the door handle welcome lights.

Guess I'll have to make do with just the door handles then.
