Just a quick note on ILS+ & Night Vision
I just wanted to comment on anyone who has night vision and is considering the ILS+ mod. Before the ILS+ mod, my night vision would rarely (in fact I'm not sure I ever remember it detecting anything) before the ILS+ upgrade. Before ILS+ it simply was a button I could press to get night vision in the center screen. After activating ILS+ it works all the time, detecting people walking, bikes, I haven't seen any animals yet. But it really does catch people at night that I didn't see with my own eyes first. It almost feels like ILS+ is mandatory for the night vision to detect people and bikes. At least that has been my experience. Not to mention the ILS+ is pretty amazing to see in action and is truly useful even without night vision.
As a reminder, if you look at your headlights and they have ILS or Intelligent Lighting System (something like that) and you're in the United States your lights were dumbed down and don't take advantage of the ILS+ due to US regulations. You'll need to code them, or buy a plug and play OBD to code for you.

and even if you think so, you won't notice as you never compared

Of course you would say that. The OBD I found was specific to my make and model. ILS+ is ILS+ I'm not sure what more you can code, but hey, I'm not the expert. People are happy with your work, so I'm not knocking having someone code it, versus buying an ILS+ ODB activator which essentially does the same thing with less effort. To each his own.

It's just information, a script in a OBD plug can not handle variations like people having one B12 headlight version and the other one being B17 in details
That is why the automatic script does one the very basic settings in order to avoid conflicts
not details like using maps from MPC, not NV spotlight to dual, and so on
it works, but is in no way advanced
