@Jabba
Ok cheers.
What was the value before you changed it back to 20?
Does you leaving home lights go out when you open the side door before they time out? They dont seem to be affected if one of the front doors is opened.
I found a coding from a Caddy life that has the coding 'FE' in that line, but not sure what that does and i haven't been brave enough to try it.
I certainly think that coding line is the main interior light behaviour settings so there should be a value to get the interior light to come on with unlocking and LH lights.

Welcome!

I've just checked and yes the LH lights stay on when I open the side door until they time out that is.
Yes I'm sure the line was FE before I changed it back to 20 if I got time this week end I will try different numbers see if 1 works for both.

Re: Caddy 5 options/upgrades - split from "2020 Caddy 5 press launch and information"
Thanks for that.
Oddly, this morning it was fine, and i haven't changed anything since.
Anyway, now just trying to find a way to reduce the sensitivity of the light sensor. I found a couple of options, although one is tied to the auto high beam, and the other is listed as Light Sensor Sensitivity, but when i tried to change it to late, it comes back as channel unavailable or similar.
With that, i think this refers to if there is a rain/light sensor fitted, and can adjust the light sensor parts, but because they list the sensor thats fitted as 'discreet' i think it is basically 'dumb' with no way of tweaking anything.

Anyone else had their rear barn door lock actuator refuse to work in the cold weather?
Had to keep climbing over everything and manually opening the rear doors from inside.
Also it takes an absolute age to get warm in the mornings and the latest over the air update has screwed the MIB and gets stuck on 'loading settings' for about 2 minutes or so after switching on each time.

Been a a while but i thought i would update you guys if you are interested.
Binned off the Mk5 and got shot of it as i just could not be doing with the constant problems, issues etc etc.
And as it turns out, it looks like they have done a refresh for release next year so i may have a look at one of those and see if they have addressed all the problems.

Sorry for adding this question to an old thread, but did anyone manage to add a rain sensor in the end?
I have a maxi life with tailgate but it doesn't have auto wipers.
Thanks

Hi, I have this from factory. However mine has rear barn doors. I would be happy to share any dataset points from my vans central electrics module if you need to code buddy.
Have a few screenshot of the factory wiring diagrams I have obtained to carry put my own projects.
