New BCM

In order to make the OEM xenon work perfectly, I swapped the BCM with a lot of help from ciclo.
It was easy job, but necessary to work very precise with coding.

I moved from a 088D bcm (Bluemotion with standard halogen headlights and start/stop system) to a 090 BCM and now all works perfect.
On the 088D bcm I experienced some flashing of the LEDs in the headlight, despite all wiring was OEM style installed.

Double reverse light

How to:

On the driver side, there is a double-colour LED. It has a normal fitting and an extra wire.
In the normal fitting, it will do white light. If the extra wire is 12V then the emitted light is red.

I bought it here:

And then asked for red and white. It was no problem

So to do this, a wire from left to right headlight has to be made.

Here is a pin layout for LHD (non-UK). UK is I believe mirrored.
Top is 6R bottom is 6C tail lights.


translation:
stads = parking light
rem = braking
massa = ground
kn = knipperlicht = indicator
achteruit = reverse
mist = fog

To make a wire from left to right, you have to take out the reverse light pin and solder a wire to it.
Guide wire to the other side and insert it in the connector.
Do not put it in the empty pin but do this:
- Open connector
- Move fog to the empty pin
- Insert reverse light wire in the position of old fog light pin.
For 6R this is a junior power timer, for 6C this is a standard power timer.
Please note that if you have 6R with 6C lights with adapters, moving cables in the car connector housing is not necessary.
You can move in the adapter.

This way, the fog will be assessed to the empty place in the connector.
The reason for this is, the loose wire needs to go to fog in order to emit red light.

So now you have the passenger side tail light out, open it (it is a clicking system).
Take out the halogen fog light and put in the LED double color LED.
Solder the wire to the plate that ends in a dead end.
This is the pin that corresponds with the place where you moved the fog light wire to.

Now it is important to test first.
Put the car in reverse and you will see both sides have reverse light.
Put the car out of reverse and turn on rear fog. Now rear fog should light up in red.

If everything works, it can be necessary to turn of canbus error check of both rear fog and reverse.

For equal light color and intensity, I bought two lights and put the same LED in the driver side housing.

Demonstration on my Rosa Line.

Bought it yesterday, my project for the next few years.

He helped me read the immo block from my cluster, in preparation of the new engine.

And he sold me a 5Q0 PDC unit with 1K8 firmware, in anticipation of of retrofitting.
And he even activated OEM MKE on my gateway so I have an extra menu entry in my MFA+

All in all a great visit, I'm very happy!
