BlueBus - Comfort Blink Working

For those that have installed BlueBus in your E85/E86, does the blink programming work for you? I have tried setting it for various number of blink and it doesn't appear to work on my car. Ted claim that this feature should work for us, but it doesn't on my car? Anyone else ran into this issue? Thanks.

I set my emergency lights to double blink and it changed the coding to do so…

‘04 with high end Carver DSP radio (which caused issues … worked with Ted to correct)

I also have the Carver DSP. The dealer set up mine to do 3 blinks a long time ago, so I don't know if that is causing issues, but Ted doesn't seem to think so. Ted also had me read back my car's LSZ variant type for him and it appeared to be correct. I've tried setting to 4, 5, or 6 blinks, but it always only blink 3 times no matter what is set on BlueBus.

Same with my car. I used ncs to code 5 blinks. BB did not work but I did not chase a fix since coding is rather straightforward.

I also never convinced Ted to add the hatch to unlock when turning the car off. Doors unlock, but the hatch remains closed unless I press the console button or the key fob. Even though we found the piece of code that had to be added.

Thanks for confirming BB comfort blink not working with our cars because Ted was convinced that it did. It's not a big deal breaker for me as my car already does 3 blinks. But since this feature is there, it would be convenience to change it on the fly if it did work.

Did not tried the doors unlocking feature yet, but good to know that it works. Thanks for the heads up on the hatch issue with the unlocking feature. I was expecting the hatch to unlock normally when both doors are unlocked, but apparently, it isn't tied to that.
