Headlamp Coding
Hi All.
I have replaced the headlamp control module (brand new) on my LED headlamp and I believe it needs SCN coding.
I currently have Xentry with a pass thru device and DTS Monaco.
I have experience using Xentry from a diagnostic point of view but I have never been able to use the SCN coding feature as I have no online login. I have done a fair bit of searching on the forums but can’t seem to find a definite answer on if it is possible to code these using DTS Monaco rather than paying a crazy amount of money to have them initiated.
I have limited coding experience on a previous vehicle (As built data changes) and am reasonably computer literate.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Sure, it's a 10 minutes job. I can help you remote if needed, free of charge.

Apologies, thank you for the heads up I will post now.
And it would be a huge help for you to remote, however I am keen to learn as much as possible and want to see if I can manage it myself first. I dont suppose you are able to explain the steps or know where I can find a guide? I have not used DTS monaco before.

Also, I can explain some of the movements, but the learning part should be only your responsibility.

Hi sgc123, do you mind sharing some lessons learnt? Soon I will try to replace a headlamp control module myself due to water damage (full headlight only if necessary).
I will order the Openport 2.0 interface. Curious about what you have done in Xentry or DTS Monaco?
I believe that the part that needs to be replaced is the A2189009303 LAM-S3 -> parking lights, DRL, indicator/turn signal not working. The Xenon HID headlights work fine.
I am not sure this is the E1n7 module and requires the 11 digit code from the headlight.
Thank you!
