I have just read that it could be because I don't have the latest coding files?

I have:
EDIABAS - v6.4.7
NCSexpert - v3.1.0

I suppose there are newer files out there. But I would think a problem with old data files wouldn't be an intermittant problem - either they work or they don't. Post back in here if you find some newer files that give you better results; that would be good to know.

Cheers!

By the way... I am on NCSexpert v3.1.0 also but I don't know which EDIABAS I have.

Hi folks,

Been having a play with coding the last couple of days, just wanted to show you what the HUD indicators look like if anyone is interested in doing this. I have tried enabling the M-HUD but I can't get it to work

But I still can't get to the LMA, through INPA or NCS

It's always on


Does anyone have this file: LM_AHL_2.PRG ??

It's missing from my EDIABAS\Ecu folder, and I think it could be why I can't access the Light module

I can read my light module in NCS!!

However, not in INPA


Just had a play around though, and modified the welcome lights so the fogs come on aswell for a bit of extra illumination

Hi Blood,

Search for:

WL_NSW

It's seperate to all the other WL segments, towards the bottom of the file. Then set to:

WL_NSW
soft_einschalten


That did the trick for me
