For Pre-Lci e90's
So basically we can't code our welcoming lights unless we get the FRM3 module.
Is there anyway to convert our current module to frm3 so that way we don't have to buy that expensive module? I've been really determined to find an alternative towards this issue.

My car was produced in June 2008. I had AE, interior, and door handle lights as welcome lights on the first day that I got my car. I just have to make sure the head light knob is set to AUTO to get those features.

You have to have an 07 for welcome lights.

Yeah, I was trying to let you know that 2008 E90s are also consider Pre-LCI and we do have Welcome Lights.

As I understand it, welcome lights work with FRM2 and FRM3, but not FRM1. This would make perfect sense based on everyone's experience with coding them/prod. dates.
I'll be looking for an FRM3 from a scrapped LCI as they become more common; retrofitting isn't straightforward, however. |

There's no way of reprogramming our current module to act as if its an FRM3?

afaik, only advantage to FRM3 over FRM2 is allowing for error-free operation of LCI Xenons. edit: you can refer to realoem, but FRM2 appeared in cars from about 07/06 prod. dates on, as discussed. All MY06 should have FRM1 from the factory. Last edited by yakev724; 05-02-2011 at 08:29 PM.. |
