You can code the +302 option to your VO, and that will add DWAI and DWAS to the list. NCS expert reads the vehicle order just like the dealer systems do, and based on that will offer a predetermined set of options.

So if you added it to the VO, you still would never be able to connect to DWAI or DWAS because that requires the actual alarm module to be installed in the rear fender liner, connected to the CAN bus network through the pre- wired factory connector.

I am not sure about this because I haven't looked - but I would suspect that the clown nose blink is going to be somewhere in the NFRM module, or it could be in another one possibly..

You should also be able to control the blinking of the hazards through the idrive even without the alarm on locking/unlocking. The sound choices you could probably code also (there are 4 possible options on that menu), but obviously it wouldn't beep without the module and siren in there. I think the module and the siren are one piece. DWAI is the alarm module and DWAS is the siren part of the alarm system. There are some functions that crossover however.

Hope this helps

update - adding $481 (sport seats) didn't enable paddleshift. Grr.

I guess i should take the wheel apart and test the paddles with a multimeter...

I wonder if there is a wert_02 or 03 for the function. Maybe there is another wert option for those retrofitting.

Yeah that was my initial guess, but your EGS module is _identical_ to mine, so no go there.

Yeah, looks like I have to take everything apart and somehow test them. They do come off a (supposedly) functioning car, though ... so I can't see them NOT working. Hrm.

Yeah I figured this was the case. I see an option on my main file that has an option for DWS (this was before I added the alarm VO) it is set to not active. I read on another forum that if you set this to active you get the clown blinker. I have never coded the entire car before so I am hesitant to try it. I now others that have had problems when they use the "code car" option. I'll dig around in NFRM a little more to see if anything looks like it would work.

Pseudo Nim · 03-10-2011, 09:44 AM

+1 - I wouldn't use "code car", ever. I dunno, it just sounds like a recipe for disaster unless proven otherwise.

e90/e92 retrofitted CIC dump
Hi, is there anyone (in US/Canada) with a retrofitted CIC?
I would like to compare a dump of the trace file to diagnose a problem with my Bluetooth.

It sorta half way connects..
I can dial from the phone and it plays thru' the car but the car says bluetooth is not connected, even though it shows the signal strength on the screen.

can anyone help?

Thanks.

BlaSTiWi · 03-10-2011, 10:26 AM

I thought I've seen it before but couldn't find it ... is there a function to prevent LCI AE from dimming or just make it stay at full voltage?

Tkx!

Been looking for that for ages. So far nothing

BlaSTiWi · 03-10-2011, 10:37 AM

Yeah darn it ... I think what I saw somewhere along the way maybe for pre-LCI ...

I've seen this somewhere... anybody tried it?:

Code:

PWM_FL_FKT_DRL_33
wert_01 to wert_03 = Dimmungswert

wert_01 is the default and NCS Dummy listed possible value as high as wert_04 ...

Believe me when I tell you that I've tried every single line that has SL, DRL, FKT or RL_BL in it

Would I be able to add the alarm to the VO and only activate the blinker?

+1 - Been Looking for this exact same thing on my 07 e92!!

I tried adding $302 to the VO and also found DWS in my CAPPL module. Tried setting it to AKTIV but unfortunately it doesn't do anything!

Do you have these anywhere:

QUITT_BLK_ENTSICHERN

QUITT_BLK_SICHERN

Seems "QUITT" has something to do with clown nose. "Sichern" means lock and "Entsichern" means unlock. So maybe these work. I only have these in my code car options.

AW128i · 03-10-2011, 01:18 PM

For those that have successfully added the OE alarm, can you detail what changes you made. I added $302 to the VO but the alarm isn't functioning. The clown nose does blink, but it did so before any coding changes were attempted.

I have both in my FRM, but looks like they are already set to aktiv...

I have something that looks likt LICHT_AN_LED which translates to LED light. Wonder what it could be...
