So now we are sayin the iid tool will fold the mirrors

Sal

No. Sorry if that came out wrong.

With the IIDTool we can change options in the CCF.: FBH fitted, Power fold mirrors fitted, allow TV in motion, turn on main beams as DRL, etc, etc etc. But these are all items that LR already programmed into the various ECUs. The IIDTool allows you to "reach in" and switch these options on or off or alter them.

For the mirrors to fold, you need an ECU to send the mirrors a 'Fold Now' message when the car is shut down. LR (BMW) never programmed this option on the pre 2010 L322. So you need an extra-module of some sort that listens for the 'Car is shutting down' signal and broadcasts a 'Fold Now' message. Or the elegant but very costly way to achieve this is to write a bit of code that does this and flash it to an ECUs memory (the cheapo way would be to use a relay/timing circuit that bridges the contacts on the fold switch momentarily on start and shut down).

But I had assumed that, since the mirrors were changed on the later models, the message had changed as well. Seems it hasn't. So a mirror fold module will theoretically work on all L322s 2002-09.

That's what I meant.

I made a little circuit that closes my mirrors on lock and opens them on unlock it also switches my side lights on for DRL any other things that people want without dealer programing ??

Sidelight activation upon unlocking of vehicle. When I mean side lights what I mean is Sidelights (Front and Rear) , Puddle lights and numberplate lights 20-30 second delay.
- Also to dimmer on and dimmer off.

And

Upon locking vehicle vehicle lowers ride height to entry level and side light activation (same as above).

And

upon locking and unlocking, the vehicle beeps ?

Really? So access height cannot be acheived at standstill?
Im sure on the 06-09 RR's access height can be acheived with vehicle unlocked and no key in the ignition?

I witnessed cam-tech-craig's range rover being lowered yesterday and that was at a standstill. On reflection though he did have the key in the ignition and an IIDTool installed...

yes it can be done at standstill, but the manual recommends that the range is moving when doing so... ... - .- -.

Simon hi, key was in ignition but IID was not connected. To lower the suspension the ignition needs to be on only (engine need not be running) but to raise the engine needs to be running... Hope that helps...



Craig

I use the height access a lot, and mine works with key out but i only get a certain amount of time once key has been removed, like 30 seconds or something

As long as you have not opened the doors Lolo then yes it gives you a min or two but as soon as you open the door then you need to turn the ignition back on to lower it...



Craig

Now that we know the parameters and constraints of accessing ride with the key removed from the ignition, odoothort could you create a program to cater to this?

Also

Is it possible to slow the (what will be the) side light illumination process to that of the default settings to create a slower wake up?

For example ;

Correct me if im wrong but currently it take 2-3 seconds from pressing the unlock button for the puddle lights and interior lights to illuminate (from 0 watts to 4 watts). Could this illumination process be slowed down almost staggered to 6 or 10 seconds from start to finish.

This would really cool if its possible. It would create the affect of the car waking up.

One of the items to consider when attempting large suspension movements in the L322 (or any modern LR) at rest is that, in contrast to the solid axle vehicles, the suspension moves the wheels through an arc as it goes up and down moving the wheels in and out relative to the body and each other. If the vehicle is moving, the tires can 'scrub' outwards or inwards depending on whether the suspension is going up or down.

This effect can be so extreme that when lowering to access form standard height, the vehicle can actually 'hang' on its binding suspension. This could potentially lead to a dangerous situation if one or more of the tires are close to the limit of adhesion (some gravel, for instance) and the vehicle suddenly drops the rest of the way. I assume that it is for a reason such as this that LR recommends that the vehicle be moving.

Steve, whats a "tire"? please use the Queens English... Its a "tyre" here where we all speak proper!!!

Sorry my friend i couldn't resist...



Craig

Had this before. Geoff reprimanded me for speaking of a 'fall update'.

Tire is close at least. But there are numerous instances where the picture in your mind would be something completely different than I intended such as 'open the hood and check the oil' or, non-car, '4hrs into an 8hr drive with my screaming kids I started to get extremely p-i-s-s-ed'...
