I purchased it and never used it on my phone, I will delete the post as soon as I figure out how to. I wasn't aware I was going to be chastised for selling something I purchased.

Follow the rules and you won't. Try and work around them and you will. Most of us won't put up with it and will call anyone out for it. Even if you had 20000 posts.

I assume you mean well. The responses here are trying to help you out. The developer is a good guy and "might" be amenable to a refund if you truly didn't use it. I'd try that route for the apps...

It's all good, I'll just sell the MX+ someplace else or hang onto it. Feel free to delete any posts you think are questionable by me, it wasn't my intent to cause anyone any harm, I was trying to give someone else the benefit at my cost. Thanks

Would that be like the member that went from 1 post in 3 years and then real quick on a Sunday night posted 55 times in an hour just to try to sell multiple clusters and radios? Don't remember that going unnoticed or working out to well.

I have a set of lasfit switchbacks in my quads with no resistors. No issues.

Just had a thought, did you set both parking lights and turn signals to led's?

Do you have resistors on both parking and turn feeds?

Yes I had set both LED turn signal bulbs and LED parking bulbs options to "yes" with alphaobd. The resistors are plug and play with an adapter harness for each side from The Retro Shop.

I unhooked the resistors on both LED switchback turn signal bulbs and installed the oem turn signal bulbs and now the "parking light out" message doesn't appear anymore. I should've just tried disconnecting the resistors and leaving the LED bulbs in just to see if that would work, but just ended up swapping it all back to stock. Really wanna find some switchbacks to work and be compatible with the can-bus system when doing the 7" premium cluster upgrade. Didn't realize these clusters are alot more picky/finicky with LED upgrades vs the 3.5" screen gauge cluster.

My 2013 7" Cluster doesn't show all these errors as well but when I plug in a 2018 cluster it shows some light out errors. The only reason I have the 2018 cluster was to possibly fix a Compass issue I was having and to have the IPC settings menu in the cluster (which doesn't show up on 2013 clusters).

Long story short...2013 clusters don't have this issue but have other shortcomings.

The lasfit are a little pricey but with park/turn set to led with alfaobd, no resistors. I don't have any issues. Only complaint is I wish the white led's were a little brighter during the day. But the orange turns are super bright

From what I've seen 2018 and newer clusters are like this. It could go back further but I've only tested 2013 and 2018+ clusters...

Rules are rules. Although it doesn't stop people from screwing other's over it atleast makes them invest some effort into selling something. Not just jumping on to unload something and disappear. I would HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you don't just start posting to get your 50 post in. Good way to lose trust by potential buyer's

Side note.

I was contacted by a forum member (& also the seller) that bought a UAx radio from someone in the for sale section recently and it was defective when it arrived... (Seller had bought the radio and 'supposedly' never installed it before reselling it here !? )... the buyer was ghosted by the seller quickly who luckily didn't use PayPal Friends and Family and was able to get their money back. (Keeping an eye out to see if it gets relisted)

None of the forum regulars (or anyone really) like to see members get burned, especially on big purchases, and everyone should pay attention to post history of those selling items on the forum (like dot dot brown).
The site used to have a rating #/review system for members that sold items here... wish they'd bring it back.

If I see someone trying to go around the rules I try and point it out to them. If they are a ass about it I have no problem reporting them. I have no problems letting others know to watch out. When every I see something new posted for sale first thing I check is post count. Whether it's something I'm interested in or not. 51 post and automatically not interested. Same with eBay. 99.7 or lower I'm not buying from.

I noticed on the most recent revision, the is a setting in the MY 2018 POWERNET for a bed light button


CBC I/O - bed light switch input present

Wonder if I could add a bed light button to my 2017 with this?
