Ok, I’m just getting into this and looks like in order to have coming home lights to work you have to rewire the canbus box and activate the “consumer shutdown” option in the iBus settings.

My basic understanding is that you have to wire up the head unit so it acts like the oem Navi unit when the key fob is pressed. The oem Navi starts up briefly, just showing the splash screen (not fully powering on) when you unlock the car and shutdowns again unless the key is turned on to ignition.

All it is supplying a 12v trigger to power up the canbus box temporary and allows the iBus do it’s thing.

For example I have set my mirrors to automatically unfold/fold with ignition but in the mornings I have to wait until the head unit finishes booting up and ibus app starts running. Not a problem when the head unit is on standby.

I have not tried wiring it up for consumer shutdown but for now I can live with having to push the buttons in the mornings to unfold (I was doing it manually all these times anyways).

I will be trying it out eventually though as I want my angel eyes to turn on when I unlock the car
