Rear Fog Lights flashing option is to flash fog lights in addition to break lights during hard breaking, thats what I think!

adaptive brake / flashing BFD_1_RL_BL_ERSCH_BILD = brake light
wert_03 = flashing
BFD_1_BL_M_ERSCH_BILD = 3 Brake light
wert_03 = flashing
BFD_1_RL_BL_1_ERSCH_BILD = brake light 1
wert_03 = flashing
BFD_1_RL_BL_2_ERSCH_BILD = brake light 2
wert_03 = flashing
BFD_1_NSL_ERSCH_BILD = rear fog lamp
wert_03 = flashing

Some neat finds here
So BFD is extra light that lights up. Adaptive brake was never enabled in e60? I guess we can set whichever lights to flash. How many times does it flash? Is it for the whole duration as long the brake pedal is depressed during the hard brake?

Would be interesting for me as well. Going to have this programmed next week.
Btw what is BFD?
And when does it start flashing? I.e. brake pedal at certain degree, or certain level of deceleration?

BFD = brake force display. Extra brake light that comes on during heavy braking. Well, depending what country you are in, it lights up certain part of the taillight brake. And I believe certain region don't even have that feature--which adds to the confusion!

Anyone have successfully coded BFD to flash?
I finally got around to giving it a go today, but unfortunately I can't get it to work. I suspect that since I have modded my tails to produce Ricky's brake effects, the entries I will have to modify will be slightly more complicated due to how I have redirected the electrical currents.
I think if I get a chance later tonight, I will try to see if it works for my 3rd brake light.
