Ok, add me to the list of people that have the same errors with the LED brake lights. I went with the 30 SMD LEDs and I can verify that it seems at least as bright or slightly brighter than before.

mmitev, are you using bruce's cable? Possibly, Bruce already added some circuitry that tricked the cold and hot error check monitoring? Maybe you can bug your mechanic and ask him for us?

tsaros, for the coding I only modified the 4 parameters below. I believe on the other thread posted you modified other parameters with no luck still.

What I find interesting is that it disabled the strobing (error check) for the inner brake. The outter brake led bulb still strobe which I think the idrive is giving the error for. I'm really curious what other parameters we need to change in the light module. I can't imagine any other module needed coding since LM monitor all the exerior lighting.

I too bought the same brake light bulbs. True they are bright BUT they are not as bright as the bulbs. Put one each in the same light and you will notice the difference side by side. Having said that I think they are bright enough to be considered safe. I'm actually running one led and one bulb on each side.

As for the errors on the Brake lights. Its probably worth explaining.

The LCM have 3 brake outputs

RL_BL
RL_BL_1
RL_BL_2

Now the RL_BL_2 is normally not used in the pre-LCI but is used in the 6 series and the LCI.

RL_BL (EU brake) and RL_BL_1 (EU tail). But in the US both are used as Brake lights.

So if you are getting errors just make sure you are disabling everything.

Thank you for helping out,
I do belive that i have disabled everyting but i still get errors,
The last trace i flashed is avalible here, http://www.soft.nu/~andhil/FSW_PSW.flashed.TRC

I do hope that i have indeed missed something, nobody would be more happy them me if that is the case

tsaros

Here is what i have tried to date, and im still getting errors,

The latest trace is found here,

If you can help me disable the errors via coding im offering a reward for $100 US via paypal. im out of suggestions myself

bruce_miranda

what errors are you getting? what light is the car complaining about?

tsaros

brakelight left end right out of order due to me installing LED lights there.

bruce_miranda

OK do this. Replace the LEDs with normal bulbs and then replace each bulb with the LEDs and tell me at which switch do you get the errors.

nomis_nehc

Bruce, hopefully I am wrong here, but I have tested this on many occasions, and it seems to me that there's no way to suppress the errors for the brake lights if you change it to LEDs. The only way is to add resistors.

tsaros

I have done the bulbs swap now and it´s the bulb closest to the foglights that is causing the errors, the outer brakebulbs does not cause any errors, only the ones beside the fogbulbs.

bruce_miranda

I've done in on my own car, so I know it works.
