Jonika21 Wrote:finally ! congrats rusty !

now all we want is an how to

I won't be doing a how-to for this one sorry mate it's cost me a lot of money and time and is very complicated plus you need a VCI code.

JohnL Wrote:Well done Rusty! Bet you are looking forward to taking the car for a spin in the dark now

Yes mate I need to put some charge in the battery and also get some fuel as I'm below quarter of a tank and I don't like being that low.

Well done mate you won't be disappointed.

I think a how-to needs to be done as there's a lot of interest in the retrofit and I think the price will come down

well done rusty that has been a major amount of dedication and work to have gone through with this
it was a pleasure to help in proving that ALF can be done at long last WELL DONE....

unfortunately it is a bit like the NAV retro fit programming is a big part of this
and this is something the dealers will not do.

i am sure if you want this done rusty can sort a price out to fit and program
but it will not be cheep as the parts are expensive and there is a fair amount of work involved
and not every car will be able to do this.

Yeah once I've put the car back together Just pulled it out the garage so I can twist the data wires together. Out comes the glove box again

Well what I will do is add some info so people can check there fuse board if you have the wrong board its a non starter unless you pay the £350+ for a new board.

Now u need to get the washer jets working otherwise it's an mot failure, good work though!

AFL / Xenon retrofit - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Oct-2014

Yep just waiting on GM to get back to me on that as I've tried SPS'ing the IPC as that's where they are turned by and it wont hold the info, I asked them If I need a VCI and they said no so I've asked them how I turn them on as the SPS'ing the IPC wont turn hold the software to turn them on.

Here's something interesting to ponder over the Corsa comes with AFL's but dosent have headlight washers and has manual headlight leveling.

The Corsa doesn't have xenon's does it?

You can manual on the Astra if you wanted.

Congratulations Rusty, I always knew it, that you would be successfull in the end. Good work, now put your feet up for a while you deserve the rest. And so does your bank balance. Regards Migwell

AFL / Xenon retrofit - cornishtaz - 27:th-Oct-2014

Yep Corsa definitely has Xenon's

AFL / Xenon retrofit - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Oct-2014

Well been for a drive and I'm so glad it's fitted and working now, I could see where I was going went round a corner and the lights followed lol.

Glad I kept at it I was getting close to giving up.

They only need to work if it looks like they are fitted. If in doubt, then it's a pass

Right been a bit of a back and forth day today.

GM sent me the VCI code for the IPC which I put in this, this wiped out my TPMS so I then got 2 new VCI codes one for the BCM which included the the TPMS, headlamp washers and AFL and one for the IPC which included TMPS & AFL.

So headlamp washers do work via GDS2 but not the stalk I'm going to have to check the wiring to make sure although I know it's all there at the BCM.
