Hi

No big deal , either get BMW to code "welcomelight" or find somebody with access to the INPA NCS-Expert software/program that can do it for you.

Kind Regards

Doesnt it need to be wired so those lights can come one, I dont think that coding will make a difference, only with the LCI (08+) I have an 05. I just want my angel eyes and my tail light rods to light up when i open the car. Are you sure I can go to the dealership and just say i want the welcome light software upgrade?

I'm going to do this mod soon. Trying to figure out where I can get the right connections / what to connect.

Actually, I already have the answer to this, and have test wired it to a LCI.

Thing is, for us with Orions, this might be no good because the relay used for the Orion setup causes a loud electric power phasing noise that sounds kind of terrible. Think Transformers when they do the transforming thing.

In any case, I will have to ask my buddy which connection we used, but if I recall correctly, it was to one of the interior light (used a wire snake to route it from the front).

Anyone have experience with this?

That seems interesting is it only the key and nothing else? just unlock and lock and the lights should term on, guess no installation?

Simon, I spoke to umnitza and they said it is doable and the extra wiring harness it comes with helps enables the remote on and off feature for the orion v2's. I'm just waiting for their response on how to wire it correctly.

Its more than that, you need their harness / wiring.
