Enabling Daytime Run Lights and Courtesy Headlamps
Has anyone had any success enabling Daytime Run Lights and/or Courtesy Headlamps using a Nanocom?
Following the instructions in http://web.nanocom.it/download/VALEO...DISCO%20II.pdf :
But after enabling and writing the settings to the BCU, neither seems to be functioning on my vehicle...Daytime run lights: Legislation in some markets requires that the headlamps illuminate
whilst the vehicle is moving, or the ignition is switched on. This function is referred to as
"daylight running lamps". Therefore, the BCU, which controls illumination of the
headlamps, must also be programmed to accommodate the legislative requirements of
individual markets, with regard to daylight running lamps. The options are:
× The vehicle does not require the daylight running lamp feature to operate in any
circumstance (NONE).
× The daylight running lamps will be on if the main beam head lamps are off (NO MAIN).
× The daylight running lamps will be on whenever the main or dipped beam head lamps
are switched ' off' and the gear selector lever is in any position other than ' park' (NO
HEADS).
· Courtesy headlamps: The BCU can be programmed to turn on the vehicle headlamps
when the driver presses the remote transmitter. The BCU switches both headlamps on by
signaling to IDM to switch the headlamp relay ON.

The vehicle is programmed to run on an Australian build vehicle.
In the Australian specs/ADR's this is not a feature & will not work no matter how many time you tell it too.
But
If you change the build to say Scandinavia, they will then work a you have turned them on.

I've done both. On a 99-02 you'll need a resistor that plugs in behind the left headlamp for the DRL to work correctly. Not quite sure about D2a. It just seemed to work for me. Also a couple of relays in the under dash fuse box. The courtesy lights were already enabled when I bought it. You just hold down the lock button on the remote and they'll come on with a timer.

PS: Mine has always had "Courtesy headlamps" enabled

Yep i have set mine with the nanocom evo, when you set them and start the car they do not come on so i thought it didnt work but found out the secret, it is that they do not come on until you put the car into drive.

SupporterIs your vehicle still set to Australia build?
I have checked and mine aren't on in drive either.

Do you have the drl relays installed in the under dash fuse box?
Yes mate mine is Australia build, the setting is "NO MAINS"
AT RESTYou need to have grey hair, wear a lawn bowls hat to enable the Volvo Mode on the lights
