Hi I'm trying to code rear fog lights on my 2017 G30 but in e-sys with Launcher 2.8.1 I have only UNK_PARAM_X in these functions:

LIC_LOG_LAMP_2_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_DATA: Change this to "G30_ECE_Code"
LIC_LOG_LAMP_2_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_INDEX: Change this to "G30_ECE_Code"

Could someone paste me raw value of G30_ECE_Code so I could match my UNK_PARAM_X values?

Thanks in advance

Hi! I was able to successfully code the rear fog lights to activate on my 2018 BMW 530e. But as soon as I Iocked/unlocked my car, I noticed that not all of my “Welcome Lights” are lighting up. Mainly, door handle lights and rear tailights no longer lit up when unlocked and I double-checked iDrive and saw that it was still activated after unlock.

I followed all the updated coding in this forum and I was just wondering if anyone was experiencing this and found a fix for it already? I reverted back to the US coding for the meantime as I really like the welcome lights after unlock.

Not this particular issue, but it seems coding the rear fogs is hit or miss and even when they work, there are other things that sometimes stop working when they are on.

For me, when activated, my inner tails don't illuminate when braking, just the outer. Maybe by design, but I suspect not. For me it wasn't worth researching or having my coder go back in because my Euro;s work perfectly and I honestly never have a need for rear fogs.

Sound like coding issues in your case. Vic is worth every penny.
