I'm hoping to, but keep your fingers crossed, and trust me I want this coded before then since I don't want rear fog blinkers! haha
I think, the pins 10 and 12 will have the voltage without the trailer module, as the change of the programming line did not affect the pin 3, it had voltage in accoradnce with the switch, and the pin 10 and 12 received the voltage once the line was changed... The LCM knows that the fog lights are there on your car, that is why they are blinking, so LCM can control it... Do we know what is that last line: ueberspg stands for?
Don't know, I would probably leave it alone as I can't see what it would do for us in our application as it looks like a combo of phrases, like "uber" and "spg" haha
Dude, it is time to invest into NCS, INPA, and the rest of the things along with the cable... will cost you about $40 off the bay...
I'd love to invest the 40 bucks but my problem is I don't have a dedicated laptop to use for it, so the 40 bucks turns into 200-300 pretty easily. My wife wouldn't appreciate me running INPA on her MacBook!
There are the PWM entries in the LCM file that I'd like to play with, for the Angel eyes on a la DRL, just on with the engine running... who knows, it might be done...
now i need to get the hardware for rear fogs - the lamp bulbs, the holders... i am also thinking about removing the pins 10 and 12 from the trailer harness, and inserting them into a dedicated male/female connector before running them to the lower gate... first i will try to see if a 2-pin male/female can be found for those round pins, if not, any other one will do, just will need to snip off the round pins and re-crimp something else... since the pin 3 does not need the voltage on pins 10 and 12 to activate itself, the 10 and 12 might be redundant in the trailer harness... and pin 3 still can be used, if somebody wants to have rear fogs on the real trailer...
did my rambling make sense?
Your rambling always makes sense! I forgot you have stock tails so yes you need the bulbs and lamp holders from dealer. I have the LED tails which already have a space and bulb holder built into the tailgate lights which was nice. I bought standard 21w bulbs from autozone, but the holders and bushing contacts for the tailgate harness you will need from dealer. Do what I did and use the Posi-locks to attach the bushing contacts and just get a 9006 male/female connection off the bay for 5 bucks, snip wires 10 and 12 off the connector, crimp new pins on and make yourself a nice watertight connection! Should be easy enough and yes it looks like you can still have "factory US operation" from pin 3 if you needed to.
