I screwed the last IPC up i had getting the eeprom off,
so ordered another one from poland, imagining i'd have the same issues i had with the last one... namely door opeinings are reversed and it shows speed on the dial on the kph speedo face only... so in mph/mpg setting, the needle pointed to the kph numbers. meaning i had to have it in kph setting to get it to point at the mph numbers of the mph dial card i put in it off my original speedo.
But i got the other ipc and plugged it in, usual thing, no mileage showing, left door showing open when right is etc...
But i figured i'd triy to tech2 it in anyway.. before i removed the eeprom and changed my vin and security code over,
I tried a program, and it failed... 15 minutes loading it on via the tech2, i imagine the security code might have stopped things?
anyway, before i took it out to remove the eeprom, i decided to tired the option for reconfiguring things... i selected the things i could.. rain sensor, no park pilot and so on, and it had the other bits at the bottom you can't change... mainly that it's a RHD car with a kpk/mph speedo.... i figured it will not allow that as it's a kph only speedo....
Amazingly it worked, after doing the 'turn off ignition, wait 20 seconds etc, the mileage came up on the display, and the right hand door was showing open when i had drivers door open.
auto wipers showed up, the service park assist warning was gone,
Went for a drive, and the needle points to the right places for the mph dial!!! no matter if i have the unit in imperial or metric setting.
Couple of things i notice different tho from the last euro ipc i had... when i turn the ignition off and open drivers door, it just bings at me to remind me the keys still in ignition... the last ips said 'reminder, keys left in ignition' but this one the display is blank when ignitions off.
and i've got the basic 7 menu's for things, 2 trips, speed, average mpg, instiant mpg etc,
The last one had a the average and instant mpg's showing on one page.
I guess that can't be changed, and is in the MCU chip.. like the astra's get the 3 items per page (speed and mpg data i think)
Oh, and i still get a DTC for IPC imobilizer code wrong, i presume i need to do an imobilizer learn to get rid of that... car still starts fine tho, and no U codes for wrong instrument identifier anymore.
