Question Code to turn off Reverse Light Error Check for LED use

How do i code it so that my car doesn't check for error in the reverse lights? I put in error free LED reverse light but it flickers when i turn on car and randomly while driving.

Another member told me its the car constantly checking bulbs so it flicks when it check. Said it's possible to code it so it doesn't check.

Is there an option to just code the reverse check only or if code the check off then its for all lights in car?

Me and awhk were playing around with this in coding, try reading his post here:

http://www.f30post.com/forums/showth...0&post13208390

basically, there are a few settings for each bulb... cold check, warm check, and IS_LED. you want to set the checks off for whichever bulb you are changing to LED, and also set IS_LED to 'aktiv'... let me know if that works for you. BTW the chart says REF_01 module but mine was in the REM_01 module.

Just a quick question. Can you explain what IS_LED does? It's Not-Active as default and you mention that it needs to be changed to Active. Is this function for LED light for future F30 LCI model?

it provides the led with less amps so it wont burn your bulbs/fuse or other electricals
if you are using cree leds though do not set is led to active as it wont provide enough power
thats from my experience
I could be wrong

if you open your trunk and look at the gap between the trunk and brake/signal lights there's a grey piece thats held on by one screw.
unscrew it and pull that piece out you will see 2 hex bolts that hold your tail lights onto the car.
unscrew those and gently pull the tailight out
unplug everything and your good to do w.e you want to do
