I also asked about this module in another thread about fade-in AEs, but noone answered either.

However, the Germans are buying and using this like crazy, so I am pretty sure it works just fine. The only problems I've read so far are that the cable between your PC and the module sometimes does not work, because it requires a special sort of port on the PC.

To me, it's a matter of time, money to throw away, and availability of alternatives (cheaper coding etc.) before I get this. I also want my car to wake up like a beast..

 

i do have the cable to connect the e60 to the pc and have downloaded inpa software and all sorts but not too sure how to use it!! can the lights be moded this way?

 

i have no clue about that

re: the cable, the germans are actually having problems with the cable that links the eLight module with their PC. this cable is supplied by the eLight vendor and is needed to do load all the settings on the module, which prior to that you have defined on the PC with the program in the package

 

bump

 

Sorry to wake up this old thread .I got one of these module and can not get it to work ( pre 2005 car )

Has any one made progress with this


from what i understand u can not get welcome lights on a pre lci car - please correct me if i am wrong
unless u buy a new light module

thanks

 

the software can be downloaded here http://www.car-solution.de/en/downloads.html and you just need a serial cable which goes from the module to the pc for programing

The software has the install instructions as well

 

Maybe you should PM Rizbel. He got it to work for his car. There's a video of it in the AE Illuminating thread.

 

Did anyone notice that this site also sells a plug and play lci light conversion kit for front and back lights?

 

(Sublime )
yep they do

here also they sell it

I have pm Rizbel and hope he can help -

 

Not gone one, but .. if its not communicating with the module you may need to set the serial port to a specific comm port (usually 1) would be something worth chceking...
