luckily I have LM2 
, I spent the whole day playing with NCS , I had almost everything , I'm not sure why welcome light doesn't work .. but in the trc file there is a lot of options for the welcome light ,,, guys who had the welcome light works ,, what exactly did u do ?
cornering light is so funny , it turns the high beam on when turning left or right ,,
any idea which option to play with to have my angel eyes on as DRL ,, cuz i'm going with the orion V2 and I would love to have them on all the time ,, I see a lot of options with DRL in the LMA trc file ,, but donno which and what for ..
Blood : let me know if you found the 2.8V , I tried yesterday to find it online ,, with no luck

good stuff. Happy it worked out.I still can't get my cornerlights to function...maybe we can compare trace files?
for welcome you need the activation both in LMA and CAPPL plus have your light switch in AUTO.
This is what's active in my (LM2) LMA trace file with regard to welcome lights:

I use DIS v57 for proper diagnostics when I need to check some thing, it`s quite amusing going in to the service centre already armed with the error info, I use my ODB d-can cable with DIS and Progman.

loool ,, I've done the CAPPL but in the LMA i activated only one option
,, actually I followed the instructions from the other guys ,, will try it now ,, attached is my LMA trc file ,, the funny part is when I activated flash to pass option for the bixenon ,, the high beam is completely stopped working , even if my headlights are off , when I hit the high beam stick , my bixenon comes on ,, and the high beam yellow bulbs comes on only when cornering ...

- The cornering light is kinda goofy in the '07. In the '08 version, that inner halogen is directed to the side to actually provide light where it belongs. When it is really dark, like out of city lights, the cornering light is pretty handy.

I just realised you have prelci headlights with LM2 - right ? then you won't have the right setup for DRL and cornering light like NoQuarter mentions.

Ok, I have 2 FSW_PSW.TRC (Full and LMA)
In the full one, I can see Welcome_Light_Active while LMA one does not show it.
Is there a way to see and change it? is it on another module? or need to add a VO?
Full (all modules: FSW_PSW.TRC.Full.txt
LMA module: FSW_PSW.TRC.lma.txt

OK
On Topic \\
I propose that we create a database of the FSW_PSW.TRC.---- (--- is extension of the modul) files that have been read out and backed up and the altered files that are uploaded to, so we can compare and/or troubleshoot.
In the files themeselfs is no privat data stored, not even your VIN / Chassis Nr. The only info you can gather is the type of motor and type of bodywork (limo or break) and of course al the options installed.
Interested?

What OS will support these programs? My laptop came with Windows 7 64bit. I'll probably do a dual boot, just so I can start coding, but what OS should I downgrade to?
Also, just got done reading the entire thread and didn't see this asked, is it possible to code in a cd changer input for the radio? I've been wanting to add an AUX input for my MY2006 non-Nav car, but they all require CDC to be pre-programmed in.

If you see your FA.TRC file under /WORK
It will tell you what VO codes are on your car:
Mine is:
$1CA$216$261$302$319$322$403$415$416$423$430$431$4 41$442$453$459$465$473$
494$496$4MA$4MF$502$508$522$524$534$540$548$563$60 9$610$620$639$645$672$
677$693$697$737$754$785$818$838$845$850$853$876$89 6$925$992$999-A090
I want to add TV function (VO $601) and see it works or not.

I'm not sure what those terms mean, I'm going to have to find some beginner/noob posts about coding. I'm sure I'll refer back to this once I get a better understanding of the foundation of all this coding stuff!
