Got my MX yesterday and I've been poking around this afternoon using the Demo version of AlphaOBD. (Starting BCM file shared with GR, it should be available in the shared drive shortly).
I was looking at all of the mirror options and I found something odd. I have a manual rear view mirror and neither the original side mirrors nor the Trail Ridge tow mirrors I replaced them with are the electrocromatic type, yet I have the following items set:
Code:
ECU Qualification:
EC Mirror Present: Yes
Vehicle Config 3:
Interior EC Mirror Present: Set
Doors Configuration:
Electro-chromatic driver mirror present: Set
Electro-chromatic passenger mirror present: Set
It's not causing any trouble that I can see and I suspect that the options may have been turned on by the ODB Genie that I used to enable the power folding mirrors. Short of asking my dealer to reset the BCM, I don't know of a way to tell for certain.
So, on to the actual reason I was looking at the mirror options:
Last fall, shortly after I bought the truck I swapped the manual folding regular mirrors for a set of Power Folding Tow Mirrors with puddle lights and turn signals. The mirrors are Trail Ridge brand from 1AAuto, I swapped the door modules and the driver door switch and used an ODB Genie to enable them.
Everything works
except the mirror adjustment controls do not reflect the mirrors being turned up into tow position. i.e., up/down moves the mirror right/left, etc. when in tow position. I contacted ODB Genie at the time and they swore up and down that their code set the Tow Mirror option and that the problem must be with the mirrors. Then they offered to double check with tech support and get back to me. That was about 10 months ago and they never got back to me. Now today, playing with my shiny new toy, I see this in the Door Module config:
Code:
Doors Configuration:
Tow Mirror Present: Not set
Blindspot Mirror Present: Not set
So, I'm thinking that the ODB people are full of $#!t and their device did not set for tow mirrors, only for power folding/puddle/turn lights. But I'd like to be a little more certain before I change things so:
Does anyone have a BCM file from a truck with FACTORY Tow Mirrors that I can compare to mine?
I've looked at the ones in the shared folder, but I can't tell if they had factory tow mirrors.
Thanks,
