Exclamation Activating SLI on Non-SLI Country

Greetings,

I live in Turkey and BMW doesn't give SLI service in my country.

I've been told in another forum that SLI can be activated for my car so I've paid for FSC and remote coding. Today we've coded the car. SLI sign appeared on instrument cluster and HUD as (---) but KAFAS2 doesn't read any traffic signs (they are in Europe format).

They are telling me that my maps doesn't have speed info which I've already told at the beginning. Since BMW doesn't give SLI service in my country means that they don't put speed info in their maps....

I've had coded my Mercedes (W205) in 5 minutes and activated SLI and it doesn't also have speed info in its map.

Can we read signs via KAFAS2 and display them in the cluster without any need of map data? Or in any way is there a possibility to make this work???? I really need some support about the matter since I've paid significant amount of money for nothing...


As it can be seen below SLI (S8TDA) has been coded to my cars VIN:


But no signs are being read. And back ground of sign icon is grey. Should it be white?

Question

As an update we've disabled S8TDA. And recode everything accordingly but SLI still didn't work on my car


How can it be enabled in a non-SLI country?

You must lift the country restrictions manually in the related parameter by modifying hex codes of the country you are in; but sorry I am not familiar with iD7 system

Same problem as well, SLI enabled from factory but shows only (---) in instrument cluster & hud.
Can it be fixed by BimmerCode? Don't have cable or e-sys.
