Tomorrow I'm gonna turn on my lights with just the back cover removed, and see if the turn signal is on. Will report back. |

I recommend Carly. That is what I used to turn off the monitoring of the angle eyes and a few other things. You just have to use the cable for it on work our cars. I've also used it to code our 328 and X1.

Just reinstalled the LEDs and the turn signals are back on again. The back cover has nothing to do with it.
Looks like I'll need to make a trip down to my indy to get this sorted. Meanwhile having the turn signals permanently on isn't all that bad... *Update* Dropped by my indy, and he wasn't able to code the error message away! He remembers having done this for a Z4 previously, but apparently there was a software update and that function is no longer available. Ugh so much headache for such a simple mod. Will the carly cable be a guaranteed solution? It's a lot of money to spend on a failed experiment... Last edited by pcube; 08-22-2016 at 04:16 AM.. |

I just used Carly this weekend to eliminate my bulb out error from the LED angel eye bulb and parking lights. It's a really convenient app to use and I highly recommend it. While it's not as in depth as a laptop may be the convenience and ease of use is great and if you buy adaptors for different models you'll get a lot of use out of it. I've used the app on my old E92, my current X3 and Z4, some friends cars and multiple vehicles I was looking to buy to check for hidden service codes.

@Asianoak I edited that post very recently so that's probably why you didn't see it before.
As for the bulb staying on. (This was mentioned on my thread as well) I can't say at all what the issue would be. Coding is the way to go though I would say.

I bought this cable and have had success using it on my M and another members car. I've also used it on my E90 and E84. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/271621954745?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT You will have to solder two pins together to make it work on our cars. I believe it was 7 & 9 but please confirm before you do that.

I managed to code the dash warning lights out using NCS expert, basically disabled cold and hot monitoring of the high beam. This also made the turn signals in the headlights behave normally again (ie not constantly on).
Also turned on the AEs as DRL at the same time Thanks for all the advice! |

I just replaced mine this weekend. I know everyone says not to remove the torx screws, but the passenger side fixture would not budge until I loosened the two screws. Not remove, just loosen. Driver side did not have this issue. So...be prepared.
I chose to remove the wheels. This made it much easier top access the torx screws. I opted to replace with LEDs. These are the ones I used. https://www.amazon.com/Ruiandsion-Br...gateway&sr=8-1 No issues, other than the halo has a bluish tint (as reported elsewhere - the bulbs themselves are 6k neutral white). I suspect a 4k or 3k would appear more white in the halo. Dashboard light hasn't gone out yet, but these are supposed to be "canbus error free", so I'm holding out hope. I've also got these on order, due next month. I'll try one out and post a comparison. https://www.amazon.com/WLJH-Interior...gateway&sr=8-5 |

In case you weren't aware, there's a blue translucent filter between the halo ring and the bulb, probably to make the stock Halogen bulbs appear less yellow.
