Hi
I was able to change the one touch turn lights but I’m having faults on both front turn lights and the dashboard turn indicators blinks faster than normal although all the exterior turn lights blinks on normal frequency
What am I doing wrong?

I am a bit confused on the different X431 options. If it is an X431 and says it does ECU Coding, does that mean we can code our 718? Like this one:

I'm not sure about that one. Mine is the same as this one:

I purchased this one and it can code

That seems to be the cheapest options confirmed to work with coding. I wonder what the difference between CRP919X and CRP919E is. I can't see the 919X on Aliexpress.

I just want the cheapest option to change a few settings. I tried to get my Indy to do it, and they failed and tried to charge me almost the cost of a X431 for their failed effort.

Can someone with this option installed contact me? I need the Random Codes from the Front End Elec. to fix the problem with turning indicators problem
I don’t know what to do to fix it. Im becoming crazy

DId you do a backup before you started coding? I’d recommend restoring from that. If you didn’t, that is a crucial best practice step whenever you attempt coding on any car.

yes I did it and I wrote it back but I still had the same fault I tried also the coding online that theoretically put the BCM back to normal config and same. Its like I can’t set the front turning lts as LED. Because after coding it as LED I do aa backup I read this back up and the front turning lts shows again as NO LED

Is it a 4 digit code? I don’t understand something, you only wanted to change the number of blinks from 3 to 5, did you ended up changing the random code for that? This would only require changing the number of blinks in the appropriate code function…

OK @sanher747 … let’s try this again. I know I said I wasn’t going to reply to this specific issue anymore, but I just want to try to help…

If you are up to it, can you perform a Health Report of your car? That could tell if there are any faults and provide clues into what is happening...

In addition,

What are your values in the following codes:

Also, does your issue happens when you activate the “one-touch” or is it also present when you push the turn-signal stall all the way?

BTW… I noticed that in my Macan, the oil level was displayed in one segment (as seen in first photo below)… while in my 718 it was displayed in 4 segments (second photo)… found the code where you select how to change the display…. I like the 4-segment, so ended up changing my Macan.

Notice that the message also changes between “Oil level is correct” and “Oil level OK”.

In the 718 the code is…. Select ”1 segment or 4 segments”…

Thanks for trying help me. You can’t imagine how I really appreciate it. I followed your instructions and I could change the one touch flashing times but I got this faults whenever the turning indication are set, one touch, warning, etc. outside everything works fine but inside the blink frequency is faster than normal
I also coded the auto S/S without problem
The random codes are on Code/brush hiding > random code. It is another way to do the same but changing the code itself stored on the unit.
this example it is for exterior lighting parameter random code

Your issue may not have anything to do with coding… or coding may have precipitated it. See link, this issue is not unique to you. There is a possibility that your bulbs are bad. I’ll keep looking though…

I’m 100% sure is a coding issue because I got these faults just after code the one touch function. Could you share with me your random codes for exterior lighting parameter and Coding value?
