Side Markers- Can they blink?

[White987S]

Loren, can the 987 be programed to have the side markers blink with the turn signals?

Thanks.

I can confirm that they do in Europe, so Loren is the wiring different? I know there is a hack but can it be done properly?

There does not appear to any differences in wiring between US and RoW. All front end lights are controlled by the "CU Bug" (controller) so I would would bet that there is a setting to program that with a PIWIS.

Either I or Tool Pants will try and check next time we see a 987/997 in the local shop.

Thanks Loren and Tool Pants. This would be great!

I think this would make the car a little safer too. Especially for lane changes.

Loren, if the car could be re-programmed to blink the side marker, wouldn't the bulb need to be changed to a dual filament?

I don't think so. My 996 has been hacked for blinking sidemarkers and there was no need to change any bulbs.

Hi Loren:

Will you and Tool Pants still report back after this has been done in your dealership? The link above from Tool Pants is encouraging, but not a real confidence booster. I'd like to hear from someone who has actually done it and a "how to" so a dealership in my area can be instructed how as well. Thanks.

Loren, have you guys done one yet? Thanks.

Loren, where is the link you posted a few days ago with common addreviations and lingo? THANKS!
