apellefigliodapollo Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thank you journeyman for checking it this is a confirmation that the european software is slightly different from American one (drl, radio, front turn signal) DRL are mandatory in EU too, but only on new models.

Journeyman425 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 DRL are mandatory in EU too, but only on new models. I thought so also. It is entirely possible that I can't see all the equipment or sales codes from a domestic (US) database system. However, that is all I have access to, at least for now. We'll see what Mr. Marchionne has up his sweater-sleeves for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 DRLs are mandatory in the EU for models that have been type approved after 2011. Since the fiat freemont got its type approval well before that date (when it was sold as dodge journey), they could get away without installing DRLs, even if it's a supposedly new model (it isn't). Now, I don't know it the DLRs as implemented in the journey/freemont (high beams at half power) would be street legal here, most probably they aren't (stupid EU rules) so that's maybe the reason the sale code isn't available. But, even if they don't comply with the regulations, they would be much safer than no light at all and more convenient than keeping the low beams on (since that also dims the dashboard illumination).

Beancounter Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Question for Journeyman425? Will you check my vin for daytime running lights capability, please? ET106705. 2014 Journey Limited. I was so disappointed since the option does appear on my uconnect screen. Apologies to those drivers out there this foggy morning...I really thought my lights were on!

Journeyman425 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Beancounter - I think you gave me an incorrect VIN. ET106705 comes up in the Chrysler system as unsold. There was a warranty claim on if for new car preparation by Hill-Kelly Dodge in Pensacola Florida. I looked on their website and it is still in their new car inventory. You may be off a digit on the VIN, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beancounter Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Journeyman, my local dealer drove to Pensacola last Friday to pick up this vehicle for me. The vin is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I re-checked tonight and yes, your dealer has reported the car sold and in your name. However, I do not find a sales code for your VIN in the database. I'm seeing this pattern for 2014 vehicles. There must be a change in the configuration for this year that I am missing.

Beancounter Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thank you, Journeyman425. I'll follow both threads in the hope that a resolution is found. I drove around for two days thinking my drls were on. I like having them on so that other drivers can see me coming. Apparently, drivers around here can't see silver vehicles...lol. Take care.

islandsummers Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Wondering if you can help with this topic as well. Going to dealer tuesday for auto light switch. Wondering about drl for mine. Vin ET166903 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Checked your VIN, and just like every other 2014 I've checked, I cannot find a sales code for DRL. I don't understand it. When you go to your dealer on Tuesday, ask them to do a vehicle scan and see if there is another way to enable them. I would expect them to do this as a courtesy to you since you've only had the car for two weeks, yes? Please keep me posted. I've been wanting to hook up one of our 2014's in stock and see for myself, but there simply has not been any time for me to do that.

islandsummers Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 After speaking with my dealer, drl are not manditory in the US. Only Canada. In order to get them here they have to make the car think its canadian. They said it would take less than an hour to reprogram the computer.

Journeyman425 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 We used to do that years ago on occasion - it's called changing the Country Code. For instance, I could enable DRL in my 2000 300M by changing the Country Code to Canada. I was not sure if that was even an option to do anymore on the newer ones, to be honest. One of these nights after work - if I can ever find the time - I want to pluck a 2014 Journey off the lot and plug it in to our Wi-Tech system and find out how to enable the DRL for myself. If and when I ever get to do this, I'll post my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzems2 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Journeyman, I'm new to the forum and was gonna post about getting my DRL's activated. It just happens to be the very first thread I started to read. Apparently it's common that they don't work. I have the on/off option in the soft keys menu as well. I tried to send you a PM but the spam blocker won't let me PM anyone until I have 5 posts....LOL....so, can ya help me out? The last 8 of the VIN are:CT197297 Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I added the sales code for you. Now, the car has to return to the dealership for a vehicle restoration, or reconfiguration. It's like restarting your home PC after a major update - the settings don't take effect until after your computer is restarted. Same here - when your dealership performs a restoration, the new sales code "LMK" is picked up by the car and after that you'll be able to toggle the DRL on and off using your touch screen.

If and when I ever get to do this, I'll post my findings. I had to do that with my 2008 Jeep Hemi Commander... Changed the system to Canadian and then the unit would allow the enabling of the DRLs and once they were enabled via the StarScan tool, the system was changed back to the US country code changing the rest of the display off from the metric measurements and the DRLs stayed on. Was a PIA, but, it was all we could come up with after months of experimentation. I posted the process on one of the Jeep XK forums and it worked for a lot of the others there.
