I'm trying to get rear foglights initially. But since I found a euro switch with sw 3.6, I was looking into triple blink as option as well. The cost of the SW3.6 is a little higher and I was wondering if it was possible to use the Euro module. The options were really either be able to use the Euro with NCSexpert to disable the euro stuff, or reprogram it to US software (if possible.)
This is exactly what Jupiter wanted. He never found the perfect Euro unit and ended up buying two, a software 4.0 unit from the states and a euro one with rear fogs from the UK, then transplanting the faceplate.
I'm not sure if he ever determined if there are SW 4.0 units in Europe. In the US they can only be found on MODEL YEAR 2006 cars, not certain what build dates that corresponds too.
I've been checking eBay UK and DE periodically for one with a faceplate that has auto headlights, the ambient light sensor, and rear fogs but haven't found one yet for a reasonable price.

Unfortunately Derek, SW 3.6 won't get you the triple blink functionality, you need SW 4.0 or higher. So, get the cheapest LKM with the correct faceplate for what you need (basically whatever you have now with the addition of the rear fog button) and then just swap the faceplate. There is a small ribbon cable that connects the faceplate to the main board of the LCM/LKM.

Also, FWIW, that ambient light LED on the front doesn't seem to do anything. There was one code line I saw in NCS and I activated it, but got no results. Also, as BP mentioned, there is a line for changing the LCM from US/ECE USs or Europe version) but again I got no results.
Like William said, get the correct faceplate, put it on your current LCM. Then it's an easy code for rear fog. If you find an LCM with SW 4.0 or higher later, you can set that up for your VIN and then code triple blink from there.

The unfortunate part of doing it the way I did was that I'm about $300 just in my LCM.
I have contact with a UK recycler but they have no LKMs with SW 4.0 or higher. I will email again though and ask.
