Jmr061 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 The latest version of IDS software (85.02) allows Taurus models to enable DRL with either low beam (was available before for non HID) or turn signal bulbs( Halogen or HID). I activated them on my SHO. Jason mjhpadi, dalum and ShoBoat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalum Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'd love to do this but I'm afraid it would confuse the living hell out of my dealshipI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Nice, but since I know little about software..is this something the dealer can do, or did you do it some other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's dealer software and equipment unless ur crazy and buy it urself. The software license itself is $700 for a year. I'm crazy. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slideoil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Like that, but I'm going to hold out for the LED DRLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Probably not going to see that from the factory. Aftermarket or rewriting the existing LEDs will be ur answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Here's what I did to have LED DRL's...it came out great and was not really difficult, and most people don't even notice the aftermarket strips on the headlamp buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecam Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Any idea if it works on 2012? Either way.. how do you get a dealer to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yeah, if it works for a '10, I'd love to have the turn signals on with the LED's. Also, will probably have to have the car put back to stock before installing if it will work on a '10.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 The only way to know for sure would be to have someone with the right equipment hook up to it. I know when I initially checked into having the dealer do it they told me one hour of labor regardless of whether or not they were able to turn them on (would not have worked at that time) and there charge per hour is $115. With the IDS software and a VCM hooked up you go into the module programming and select programmable functions and then exterior lighting. With this software I can change tire sizes, dark car feature and a few other things. I think you can even go in and watch live data from sensors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I confirmed today that a halogen headlamp equipped Taurus (2013) will do both low beams and turn signals for DRL (well one or the other obviously). Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixtn39 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I had my 2011 serviced on Wednesday and had their best technician check to see if 85.02 would work on my car. After checking he said no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmr061 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 If anyone in my area (central WI) has a 2010-2012 I would gladly hook up and try it and see for myself. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
