Angel eyes as running lights?

[sykocis]

I'm looking in to DSP adapters. I'm definitely liking what I am seeing.

I already have Ipod/phone in my X5..
Not super interested in buying this box plus the alpine for that reason..
Spendy box this Intravee.. And all the links ive followed for forums or support turn up not present.... Where does Intravee plug in? If im already running MediaBridge can this install as well for the coding functions none of us can figure out? AKA angel eye drls?

i did this:
ToysInYourCar.com - Intravee II - iPod Audio Integration for BMW vehicles
the intravee sends commands to various computers in the car, ae as drl is an option in the setup menu
then i got these bulbs:
WeissLicht LED Halo Upgrade Kit For E53 - BMW X5 SAV - 2000-2006 From bimmian.com
they work great

also, i am not saying this is perfect for everyone, it solves many needs.
you have to remove the factory cd changer, and the intravee plugs into those wires. it then converts alpine ai-net to the bmw control system, allowing any alpine sources to be used on the bmw system. as a SIDE effect, its internal memory stores bmw buss commands, and can send them when asked. this is how the intravee can control DRL's and the many other systems it can control. the options list is a full on manual.

Exactly. It is pricey though. I like what it offers but, I have a few concerns. Will it conflict with the head unit I plan to install, and blah, blah, blah? It would be nice to be able to get a dump of what it sends to the vehicle. Then perhaps we can find the elusive code for AE DRLs.

I still dont totally understand why you need the Alpine device also, esp if you arent planning on any more Alpine device adding either... Intravee is a Ipod adapter that can do bus functions but needs the Alpine to connect?

What I want to accomplish is have the angel eyes come on With the DRLs, and not turn on with the Park Lights.

Anybody have the answer to this one?

Splice in to the original wiring to the angel eyes.

Install an "ignition on" power feed to the angel eye wiring. Put in a blocking diode so no power can travel back up the original wiring.

Done.

Whenever the ignition is on, the angel eyes will be on. No power will travel back up the original wiring, so the vehicle won't "know" they are on.

Turning them on via normal switching won't affect a thing.

Where would one acquire such a diode and what ratings or stamps should one look for Anthony?

If your angel eyes are wired into the parking lights, I would just disconnect the current wiring and spice it into the fog light wires.

If I turn on my fog lights all my lights come on, on my 06
