Euro Coding, COMPLETE!
and a total success,

Lets talk you through the visual differences first,

Ok JUST sidelights on, Now it only illuminates the inner angel eye





Now headlights turned on fully,

Only illuminates the angel eye and the Xenon light (exactly like Europe)
Very hard to photograph as it kept blinding the camera,









Now, Obviously the car thinks its in Europe, and in Europe they don't have the rear bumper lights,
So,

Now mine won't illuminate, So its time to paint these imola red





Another thing, Again hard to photo,
But the amber directionals now ONLY light up the bottom two lights,
The top "egg yoke" light is a US only thing and doesn't appear on the Euro headlights,
So now the car thinks its European it won't know these lights exist, So therefor it won't illuminate them




Ok so what else did I get coded,
Well I no longer have an "Accept" screen on the Nav when I start the car,
Europeans obviously don't need one so its not there anymore,
Also I can close the roof with the key, and open with the key,
I also got the alarm activated,
There was a bunch of other things I did too but mostly the important ones were the lights,
Now,

I'm looking into buying the hardware to be able to do this myself so watch this space and I can start doing your cars
