DS4 Smeg iv2 - Enable Notifications

Unread post by GymMadPaul »

Hello all new to the forum

I have a DS4 Crossback 2016 with smeg iv2 (SMEG6.4.A.R10) factory installed and want to enable notifications like the ones in the link if possible:

https://www.drive2.ru/l/617232843558357961/

Can this be done via diagbox at all? Or can anyone local to Stoke or Manchester enable for me will pay :)

Many thanks

Paul

The factory-fitted systems are specific to the vehicle type (Citroen, Peugeot, DS), build date and options. You can't just change the display options as they are outputs specifically for the vehicle the system is fitted to. We can't advise on reconfiguring the BSI for changing display configuration (if possible) as it may have consequences on the vehicle's operation. I have had 2 members who tried to change display routing and ended up nearly bricking their car. The dash and all lights flickered on and off like a Christmas tree and it took a few days to work out the settings he had changed and programme them back. Needless to say, he learned a lesson. :wink:

Thank you for the heads up Marc :)

Best just leaving it well alone, its shows the notifications in the dials anyway so will leave it as it is.

Thanks again.

Hi Paul, no worries. That would be my advice as Peugeot and Citroen for example output data to different displays via different ECUs. Switching the output can cause problems with the data streams. It can cause problems with the different matrix dash displays and the instrument cluster too.
