electric questions
 
Hi, I have 2 questions.
First, when starting the car the headlights and rear lights goes automatic burn without touching the LSM.
But not the instrumental lights. That comes when I turn the switch manual.
I suppose the former owner have made this so. Is it that this is maybe done with a T4? And can it be ondone? Or is that not possible and have a garage made an extra wire for this.
Second, I have a digital temperatuurgauge. I need the canbus connection from the gauge connecting to the K-bus from the car. So I have digged up a main loom behind the radio and a wire white/red with yellow dots from that loom but get no signal. the gauge shows only C. Tried to different same colored wires but still no results.Is it that there is a different between I-bus and K-bus and have I taken the wrong wire?
The normal temperatuurdisplay in the instrumentpanel works oke.
What options are left for me.
Waiting . . . . .

With a T4 you mean?

Sounds like you have Scandinavian daylight running lights enabled by either dealer or previous owner. You will need a T4 or Toaf to disable it.
As to your temp gauge, have you followed these instructions? https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ad.php?t=93462

Do I put my T4 in the bag???? nope ;)

Your car has ROW DRL enabled if the headlight come on when the engine is started, and Scandinavian DRL if they come on with the key at position 2.

It's a T4 dealer option, you can call Peter at Rovee Veenis and I'm sure he will deactivate them safely for you if you ask nicely ;)

Brian :D

You can't connect Canbus to K-bus as they are totally different protocols and electrical specifications.

Are you sure your gauge uses CanBus?

I suspect Teddy means K-Bus Phil, all of the digital "Hans! type gauges I've seen are sampling on the K-Bus.

Oh, it's past my bedtime, I must have dozed off in the chair again :o

Thanks Guys, so it is a T4 solution.
Marinabrian, that's not far from me. I will call them.

For what about the gauge, yes, I need the K-bus wire.
Question is, Is there a different between the K-bus and I-bus wire or are they same colored.
Or is there no I-bus wire in our cars.
And if there is, how can I see the different between these 2.
