Coding new headlight

zap263 · 01-16-2021, 06:19 PM

My car has been in an accident and the headlight along with the modules has been changed but it is not working.

It still the same part numbers that I've replaced with.

Is it possible to code this with just Enet or is Ista necessary?

The modules have to be coded.
That‘s not possible with ISTA and enet.
You should use E-Sys for that.

Any pointers on how/where? I've installed E-Sys already but cant seem to find any information on this. Everything i've seen related to this subject has been with Ista. Thanks.

Just a bump. If anyone has any pointers on how to code the new headlight in it will be much appreciated!

Thanks but I sorted this today with Ista. Didnt use Esys or even update software.

Found the module and clicked Probe (?) and a bunch of other random things... what it was specifically that did it I dont know but I looked up a while later and saw that it was working.

So yes wish I could say conclusively which step it was but it was literally clicking around on anything I though might help and eventually it did. All is well that ends well!
