Illuminated star



When this was done it was only allowed to be active when car was at a standstill with engine off but now that rules have changed i would like to be able to have it active "in motion" as well.
So i would be happy if anyone good at 12V could point me to where to modify the installation so that it starts when the DRL starts and stays active until the car gets shutoff.
A great bonus would be if i were able to turn it off whenever i wanted to with some kind of switch.

It's not simply a cheap On/Off type of power circuit... it's likely to be also PWM modulated.
You may be better off exploring it's VARIANT CODING menu before you decide to hack into the harness.
What programming options are exposed from there ??
Use your trusted LAUNCH scanner to explore.
My star is the classic hood ornament, nothing too fancy.

See if any available setting can help you configure it as desired

(N10-1/2 are the SAM Modules)
Unlikely ...:
A1...
N73...
One of the 9 other siblings is your Star control Module.
