I've bought a laptop, a stupid K+DCAN cable

Which NCS are you using, NCS Expert or NCS Dummy?

Are you able to get INPA running and communicating with modules?

Does the cable have a switch to connect pins 7 & 8? Ensure there is continuity between pins 7 & 8 on the cable to allow BMW Standard Tools to communicate with all modules.

7. Enter FA
8. E46
9. Add +LEDH to the VO
10. Press back

My understanding is steps 7 to 9 are making changes to the VO, which VO changes are then applied to the LSZ in steps 11 to 13 (FA Write) and then the instrument cluster AKMB in steps 14 to 15.

and then a long list of numbers starting with $ before them, [b[i put +LEDH into the attribute box and clicked ok. [/b]

This I believe is changing the VO. That change then needs to be saved to the akmb and alsz, and to the rest of the modules perhaps.

Thats the only part of your instruction that was different i did everything else you said. just dont know where to find this VO you speak of.

What happens after clicking OK in step 9? Should be able to continue.
