  • Coming home lights after software upgrade.

    When I first had my Brabus forfour I read the instruction manual cover to cover , there was a section regarding coming home lights ( press the lock button twice after getting out your car & the headlights will come on for about 10 secs so you can see where you're going ).

    Now the manual specified that this feature was only available on certain models / specifications. It sounded interesting so I tried it on my brabus to find I did NOT have this feature (yes I am 100% sure as I tried it like 50 times).

    My brabus recently went into my local dealer for a couple of niggles to be looked at, one of the niggles was the trip computer did not always boot up when the car was started. when I went to collect my car the service guy said that there had been a recent software update for the brabus so they had updated my cars software. I though nothing else of it & went on my merry way.

    Last night after returning from playing football I got out the car, shut the door & accidentley pressed the lock fob twice & to my surprise the headlights came on for about 10 / 12 seconds while I walked to the door. I tried it several times to make sure I wasn't imagining it & sure enough it worked everytime.

    So i'm thinking that either :

    A : the previous software on my brab was glitchy & I should have had this feature all along ?

    B : Smart have decided to make it part of the recent software upgrade & enabled the feature ?

    Anyone shed any "light" on the subject ?

    Cheers

      Nope that definatley was not it as I tried it every which way you can think of ( fast / slow / light taps etc.... ), in fact even my old man tried loads of times & he couldn't get it to work either.

      this feature 100% was not on my car before it went in to be looked at.

        I didn't know about that feature. But, I guess it probably helps if you read the manual.
        Works on mine!

            But i'm referring to the forfour not fortwo.

            correct me if i'm wrong but the night run model is only related to the fortwo ?
