Cheap DRL Disable

[Smartiepants]

Well after getting really bored and looking around the classifieds on vortex, seems people only want the DRL disable. If you want to do it really cheaply, this is how it goes.

How to disable DRL

Yeah so it was really easy, took me longer than I though cause I was afraid of breaking the switch for a while. Subtle mod, completely reversible. All in all sweet deal.

[Billip]

I'm assuming this mod is illegal?

[Smartiepants]

Well not yet. I was bored, next mod, here's a hint (no its not Bart's stuff)

Chirp

[Smartiepants]

No man, but yes I can squeal the tires pretty well

Its legal because some older cars didn't have DRL (I think). Its just a required feature on new cars when sold I think.

[Smartiepants]

I'll tell you tommorow, if it works think also bimmer, and budget lol

[Canadian Turbo]

All cars produced for Canada must have DRLs, whether they continue to be used is a mystery but I doubt you will ever get a ticket for driving around in the daytime with no lights on.

Yes what is the mod bimmer and budget, hmmm doing a ghetto rear wheel drive conversion

angel eyes? ^_^

Right now, think even cheaper. If you really wanna figure it out, find out what I've been up to on vortex

My conclusions:

- Vortex is a big place.

- Chirp is a stupid clue

I have some guesses... maybe you're disabling the noise when you lock your doors? I think Peter disabled his...

[Smartiepants]

No man, now that I have confirmed (as well as I can without doing it) that I can do it. I'm replacing of the wussy honk noise that we get when we lock our doors. I wanted to replace that with the 'chirp' that more expensive systems have.

So anyways for anyone wanting to do this, here are the companies I got prices from.

Audi - About 250 bucks
BMW - Won't sell seperately
Porsche - (With my dads discount) 35 bucks

So anyways I ordered one from porsche, the high pitched one. Should be in thursday, I'll let you all know then how it works.

Good stuff. I don't like that sissy chirping sound when I lock my car with the remote. I was gonna get the dealership to disable it the next time I was in for service.

[Smartiepants]

Yeah I know the guys there pretty well, they said that electrically it'll work, but I have to make a little bracket, maybe I can make these things and sell em on the vortex.

[Kor]

Chirp instead of honk eh.. that IS pretty cool... let us know how it turns out. Better yet, SHOW us

[Smartiepants]

Well its a secondary on the porsche too, they claim that it'll work, worse comes to worse, I have the summer to figure it out.
