I do remote coding if you aren't able to find anybody nearby

Thanks. I think I have decided to try to DIY this. I think I would benefit more from doing it myself. It looks like it is probably doable.

Good luck man let us know how it goes!

As a side note, if anyone has successfully coded out the bulb checks in the low and high beams, please PM me.

I have . What is wrong with your cable? Are you sure that it is damaged?

Well, someone suggested that the problem was my cable and told me to cut pins 7 and 8 out. I did that, and now it won't talk to the ECU at all (won't gather the VIN and FA).

I think that someone was wrong. If you had two black dots I think that the problem was only with configuration/installation. Probably you will have this same problem with new cable as before. How much did you pay for these cables?

They were only about $40.

Here's the thing: When I attempted to code the digital display in CAS, everything worked fine. No errors, etc. I didn't actually code the digital diplay on, but I went through all of the steps. Then when I tried to code the FRM it didn't work.

I still want to get the new cable and try the method you posted in the other thread just in case I did a step wrong.

I've had the black dots in INPA before with a bad cable. I know it was the cable because when I plugged my other cable in it worked just fine. There are tricks to getting the black dots to show up without actually communicating with the car.
