led lights on when unlocking - n1ibor - 25:th-Mar-2014

I have daytime LED running lights. I am wondering if i can make them go on when i unlock my car.
My collegue's car, who parks next to me has this on his seat leon.
It looks nice when it's dark and could be handy for finding my car (when parked in big lots)

I think you will find you need the sight and light pack mate,

Look in the comfort settings.

led lights on when unlocking - n1ibor - 25:th-Mar-2014

It will when dark then mate, you can always trick the light sensor just put your hand over it so it thinks its dark then unlock the car.

Thats cause your not a sob with sight and light pack like us

led lights on when unlocking - n1ibor - 25:th-Mar-2014

strange, maybe because mine has newer sofware?


I also have a 7inch color screen without having sat nav

edit: rusty allready explained it

led lights on when unlocking - Rusty2009 - 25:th-Mar-2014

I want that screen looks so much better, might have to look into this.

led lights on when unlocking - tucpal - 25:th-Mar-2014

what unit is that with that screen and no nav ?

led lights on when unlocking - n1ibor - 25:th-Mar-2014

cd 600.
i also comes with aux, bluetooth (for calling and playing music), usb and 7speakers as standard
it's equiped on models from MY14,5. or alteast on the gtc (not sure for the entry level one)
sorry for my English if things are unclear

led lights on when unlocking - tucpal - 25:th-Mar-2014

I have had the NAV CD 500 fitted i get Bluetooth NAV USB and DAB
i thought all CD600 had NAV but maybe i was wrong
still alot better screen then the cd400.

led lights on when unlocking - n1ibor - 26:th-Mar-2014

When i unlocked the car this moring the lights came on
this is somthing that wasn't available before, my dealer only found out when ordering the car.



led lights on when unlocking - WhelanUK - 27:th-Mar-2014

Anyone know if the colour screen would work with the CD400?

led lights on when unlocking - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Mar-2014

I'm trying to find out.

led lights on when unlocking - JohnL - 27:th-Mar-2014

Hmmm that's interesting could be another option for people with CD400's

led lights on when unlocking - WhelanUK - 27:th-Mar-2014

I wouldn't use the sat nav but really want the colour screen.
Would be great if it was possible.

Does [MENTION=16]vxmods[/MENTION] know?

led lights on when unlocking - Migwell030744 - 29:th-Mar-2014

We must find out as that would look grand. A lot better than the GID/ TID screan.

led lights on when unlocking - WhelanUK - 31:st-Mar-2014

Anyone find out anything further about this?

led lights on when unlocking - tucpal - 31:st-Mar-2014

a really think the only member who might have a chance of getting this to work
is Andy from VX mods he will know if this is possible or not
there would certainly be wires that would need to be changed
it may be best to ask him and see what he can find out about this.

My car is a 12 plate and I've got the setting where the lights come on when I unlock the car, but only when it's darks obvs.

I think if you flash the headlights before you get out the car then they stay on for so long too.

led lights on when unlocking - JohnL - 1:st-Apr-2014

You can adjust how long they stay on for think the shortest time is 30 seconds

No upgrade to nav 500 or 600 only way

RE: led lights on when unlocking - Jj0063 - 3:rd-Jul-2015

It'd be a bit of work but in theory you could do the following I'd of thought..

Splice into the DRL bulb wiring at the rear of the headlights, run a wire to the interior lighting loom, then when the doors are opened/the doors are unlocked, the interior lights and DRL's will come on in the same way as wiring in footwell lights

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I've seen it done on Vectra C fog lights.

Worth a go you never know till you try but it may have issues
