    Are you referring to accessing the onboard computer?

     

    Are you referring to Subaru or BMW? 

    I doubt it'll be possible even on relatively fresh Subarus. 

     

    PS: if I was you I'd be checking genuine accessory catalogues for XV, japanese ones in particular. Then checking japanese marketplaces for a suitable kit.

    Bimmer is so much easier in this respect - the option is already there, you just need to code it. JDM versions have decoded DRLs but Euro and US have them coded and all you need to do is just to change a few parameters to activate the DRLs, can even pick how bright you want them or whether you want to have the rear lights on too. Can also choose what lights you want to act as DRL: low beams, spots, squid rings or a combination. Pretty cool and no we're not talking the latest models, I've successfully coded a 2007 E93.

    Ah na that’s different again. You can engage the park brake anytime when stopped and it will hold position in drive till you add power. If you select hill assist will do it anytime that hill assist has been left on I also think it needs some sort of incline as well for that one to work. Wife’s new outback has stop start and eye sight cruise control. When cruise control is selected and it brings car tot a stop it engages the park brake until power is added or up is selected to tell cruise control to continue tracking the vehicle in front.

     

    Yeah hill assists need a bit of a rollback. 

     

    Do you engage the park brake manually or it just happens automatically? Same principle anyway it seems.

     

     

    I personally didn't like a bit of a lag associated with the hill assist.

    I park brake on, put in neutral, Start/stop then shift to park.  Just saying as it sounds like you leave it in drive, id prefer to cut the engine load before turning off.

     

    Side note I have a 2007 Legacy BP - have you tried the morse code drivers door handle trick to get in without keys/fob - doesn't seem to work for me

     

    Push starts do not have it. My '06 BL had it. Also has to be JDM.

    Back to searching for that pesky Reverse gear signal wire. What colour is it?  and Where is it?

     

    Google is your best friend. 

     

    To be a bit more specific that harness (and the wire you need) actually runs under LHS sill plates and then goes up and behind the dash. 

    PS: looks like it is a brown/yellow wire.
