My problem with these “Welcome Lights” is that every time I approach the truck with my keys in my pocket, apart from activating the external lights, it also activates the USB ports as well as the APIM/SYNC screen inside the truck that stays on for 10 minutes before shutting it off (just like you would step out of the truck and closed the driver door). This will not sit well with my battery over time.
FYI - Here are my OEM values for DSM
Your truck is a PowerBoost? You wont have any battery issues. There is a secondary battery as well thats supplemental battery power and good alternators on these trucks with a AGM battery and you also have the onboard battery that runs the truck so you have plenty of battery.FYI - Here are my OEM values for DSM
I just changed the 23-01 1st octet from 01 to 00. The rest I left untouched. Did the trick with auto power board deployment on approach, but as I mentined above, the activation of the USB hub and sync unit inside the truck (without opening the door) does not sit well with me.
None that i no of. I left those both as configurable. I figured that was to allow it to be changed in the Sync 4 Screen if wanted but I find when you make changes on the Sync 4 screen it sometimes messes things up so I haven‘t done much for turning off and on the settings via Sync 4. Maybe if we turn those off it makes it not change at all if you toggle Sync 4 settings on and off. I dunno. I wondered out loud if Livinitup or Jesse Infotainment know what the added second block adds with this latest DSM update.
I have a VCX and a Mongoose. Results are exactly the same. I don't know if the logs are exactly the same but I got annoyed and went splunking for them to try to sort this mess out. I didn't come up with anything interesting however.
Way above my pay grade. I agree—this sounds like something you should have @Jesse-Infotainment look into. If you are having problems with a missing config file, he might be able to sideload it for you. He has had success slipping software into other stubborn modules, but I don’t know if he’s done it with the BECM. PM him directly and ask.
Problem is it’s not that easy to be selective anymore. Many of the more recent updates are chained. You might think you need only one module update—the APIM or IPC for example—but it turns out be chained to three others you might think you don’t need. It’s all or nothing in many cases. Complicating matters, several of the BC updates didn’t just activate BC—they made other refinements to how the module operates. I don’t have BC, either. But I’m glad I updated everything because I noticed other tweaks. Cataloging all of them would be difficult.
Are you running any AntiVirus or AntiMalware on the laptop?
Default Windows (Windows 10 Home) crap is running I would assume. I should kill all of that off but all signs seem to point to a missing configuration (so far) per the logs. I'll test this theory out later this morning perhaps!
Are you really stuck? What features are you missing that the new updates have? If the newer updates are focused on Bluecruise, then there might not be anything in them for an 8" cluster.
The main missing feature would be camera in motion.
Well that does suck. Hopefully now that they are over the BC hump, they will get out the updates for the 8" clusters for that.
