A Mild Predicament

[Prestovie]

It is a coding tool which you can use to code your LCM module such that when you pull the high beam stalk, you would have the inner halogens on along with the bi-xenons on high beam (shutter pulled down) and you can have the fog lamps on as well. Also known as the 'trifecta' lights. Pretty bright in my opinion.

Tony sells the PA Soft tool here. Just look up the ZHP parts classifieds sub-forum.

Awesome thanks so much!

OP, do it!!

99% of my body says yes! But the other 1% is my wallet crying out in agony lol, if I can figure out a place to store it(at my dads house if he allows it) then I'll go for it

Personally, I have only ever used NCS Expert to do this, but I would imagine PA Soft may have this option too. BP may need to confirm...

PWM_WERT2_FL_BIXENON = wert_01 [For Halogen and Bi-xenon together at high beam]
FL_UND_NSW_NICHT_GLEICHZ = nicht_aktiv [This allows you to have the fog lamps on when high beam is switched on]

If this were me I would drive my ZHP up there and find a good little spot out of the way and throw a cover on it for the following weeks. I'm sure there will be other people with cars that you could ride with or even borrow.

I don't typically use PA Soft either... I thought people have used it for this before. I do everything through NCS and try to avoid PA Soft whenever I can...

That's not a bad idea, most everybody up there has a vehicle so I'd definitely be able to, and I'm in camp for 6/7 days of the week, my day off everyone piles into cars and goes into town

Extremely helpful! Thank you, do you know how to go about installing the software? Do I download it on the computer then OBD II attach it into the car? New to the coding world

You can typically buy the special cable on ebay and it would ship with a DVD (or two) with all the software (NCS Expert, WinKFP, DIS etc etc). The DVD is setup such that when you run it, it installs and configures everything on your laptop (Windows based).

Then you can learn how to use NCS Expert via the various threads here and elsewhere on other forums.

Here is a decent getting started guide:

This is the seller I bought the cable from:

NCS is not for the faint of heart. Someone should confirm if PA Soft can do it - this is a much easier option than NCS if it's doable.
