Angel Eyes as DRL Coding?

Hello,
My car is e53 3.0d face with LCM IV.
I am trying to code angel eyes and front turn signals (USA) as DRL. I want only these on AUTO, without any other lights on.
Is that possible, because I couldn't find the option on NCS.

I believe the iBus module and App provide this function. I would need to go through the menu to be 100% sure though.

I managed to turn on the Angel Eyes with the Ibus App, but there is no option for the US option for turn signals.

You guys can just wire (rewire) the lights at the connectors. Why not do that?

Whay are you trying to do, have marker lights as DRL? Just bridge the positive wire between them.

I don't think this can be "coded" as such. The iBus app achieves this function by sending an iBus datagram (message) to the LCM at start-up - not by coding.

So it's either add an android head-unit, with the iBus app and interface or add some wiring to do this (maybe with some diodes to prevent back-feeding the LCM module).
