2004 E53 X5 4.4i Rear Fog light Install...COMPLETE!

[TerminatorX5]

BINGO!!!


change the NSL_AH_US_OPTION - rear fog lights (USA) from aktiv to nicht_activ

I got 12V (12.34VDC) on pins 10 and 12...

nothing else was changed, the pin 3 still has 14.32 VDC...


i wasn't using the revtor profile in NCS, alll should be good now...

EDIT: it was getting late, and i did not pull the trailer module off to see if the pins 10 and 12 still had the voltage - i will do it once i have a chance...
Jay, at this point if you manage to change that line in programming, you should be all set for the rear fogs - do you have means to make the change?

That's great T! Nice job, I figured once we looked at all the lines available it would be much simpler to figure out.

I also realized what that option is for "disabling right side", I know on older VW's they use a single rear fog light on the left side, so in theory making that option "aktiv" will give you one side rear fog light.

The bigger question will be whether pins 10 and 12 have voltage with the trailer module removed (I'm fairly certain that they won't have voltage with the module out however as that would be just my luck, and I cut pins 10 and 12 out of the trailer module harness X609!)


However in theory there must be some voltage in that harness because why else would my rear fogs currently work as blinkers, no trailer module in place!


And T sorry to say I don't have access to coding right now, there was a local guy I paid for my other options a few months back he was about 40 mins from my house, coded off cold monitoring for LED tails, fog lights on with high beams, euro double blink hazards, etc, but we hadn't figured out the rear fogs yet.

I'm sure I can find someone local to code one option for me for hopefully not too much $$$, I'd go see Slick in Brooklyn but that would take up half a day going over at rush hour.


I'll wait to see you test without the module in place then if all goes well I'll go and get it coded! Nice work again T we couldn't have done it without you!
