HID & the L322

No sure - if the globe blows I don't think you will get a warning, If the ballast fail you might get a warning. The LCM test for continuity so even if the ballast fails but still manages to consume some power and create a closed circuit the LCM will be happy. Interesting to see results of failure points. Remember that with factory bixexons the LCM doesn’t test the dipped beam circuit at all.

I’m not running the later BETA version of navcoder so I didn’t see the option of cold testing on the trailer – I’ll upgrade and have a look but I still need to find a trailer to test, another point to consider is that not all versions of the BMW LCM have all of the options that navcoder tries to do.

I'm about to put LED lights on my trailer - it may take a week or so.....I'll let you know how I go...... also, my RR is an 02 model, so I would imagine I have an early version of the LCM....

Cheers,
Fraser

please let us know how the trailer goes.

L322 should have V11 of the LCM until the late 2005 update unless it has auto headlights. only way to be sure is to check the numbers on the LCM itself, do you know where it is? Don't need any tools to get to it.

Bugger - beta version bombs out when trying to code. He has added a lot to this new version, will be good once it's stable.

Hey Fraser – the LCM only controls whether the trailer errors are displayed to the driver, it’s going to be the Trailer Control Module that has the cold test settings, so programming the LCM is not going to stop the LED trailer lights flashing.

I’m in talks with the author about the code index issue with the beta version so I will ask the Q. I’m not even sure if the TCM is programmable.

I had that issue, but changed the setting in the options to "200" (was it latency?) - I can't remember - but Harlie, I had an issue last night where the car wouldn't start - it would crank, but not fire - I had to leave it overnight at work - it started first time this morning though! there was a fault code in the LCM "ecu eeprom faulty" however, I did do a "scan all modules" in Navcoder, which might have upset something.
Hmmmmmmm.....

:eek: the immobiliser is on the iBus… I noticed the beta version didn't even read the settings correctly

Just a quick follow-up on the non-starting issue - it was the inline fuel pump failing....tank was less than 1/4 full......replaced with one from Poland from ebay ($85 incl postage), and all is well.

hello


i was trying to do the same as Harlie , which is replacing my 2004 Range Rover Head Light halogen with 55wat Xenon can-bus, and i have faced the same problem which flickering/flashing Xenon light

but there is a strange point.

as you know you have two ways to turn on your headlight.
1- moving forward the signal light stick to turn it on continuously (Result = Flickering).
2- moving backward the signal light stick to temporary use the headlight to flash the drivers in front of you ( the 55wat Xenon will keep working perfectly with no flickering if you keep pressing that stick).

is it means , there is two different lines feeding the headlight.

Regards

Ahmed

No, one wire. However the LCM uses different logic. I noticed this also and assume it sets a higher 'short' threshold, no idea why.
