hutchysrs50 where did you get the yeti swtich from and how much did it cost? I cant find any for less than £45/50 on ebay...

[AMD87]

Same seen the one on eBay for £50 is anything plugged into the Ecu at all as curious to how you'd turn on coming home lights etc if it's just on the module.

I bought mine with the yeti switch.

and no nothing plugged into the car as such, just an extra module you get in the kit, i cable tied mine to the dash as per the pictures.

You just turn the switch to how the instructions say to enable stuff and change sensitivity

Cool, spoke to my local dealer quoted £60+ vat for a yeti switch.

Hutchy was yours a kit that can still be bought?

I had no idea they cost so much.

It was yeah but sold out and no longer have them I'm afraid!

[JGrindel]

I'm just sticking with the VW switch for now as it's not too bad, way too expensive to get the yeti switch just for green lights... works well for the money though, can't go wrong for the price!

[hutchysrs50]

I think it's what I miss most when I use the Monte Carlo. I know some people have said bad comments about the kit etc but it's high up on the to do list again! More so the coming home lights feature, fantastic on a dark night.

Pretty much the only reason I want it.

Has anyone tried the Octavia auto switch, if it fits the Fabia? Looking on ebay they can be got for between £10-£15 - better than £45-£50 ;) :

Does anyone have part number for yeti auto light switch

[hutchysrs50]

5L0941431D I think.

Sadly doesn't cross match to any other vehicle though

[JGrindel]

After using the kit for a couple of days I can say the kit is fairly responsive, I cant seem to set it up to turn my sidelights on when the suns slowly fading away but the headlights come on when its dusk and the coming home / leaving lights are great as I work in a rural pub so its great to have the headlights illuminate the road I am parked on.

Sidelights are pointless whilst driving anyway. Also known as 'parking lights' only 5w so if they cant see the car, they wont see that.

Best to use dip beam i find (:

How did you get the coming and leaving home lights to work.

 

been trying for an hour now the instructions say this

I'm guessing that means ignition off ?

 

but when I do that it doesn't beep also now if I turn the lights on manually there isn't a beeping noise when I open the door

Just a blown fuse, with a new fuse and everything wired in I would try again

Any ideas which fuse? Just fitted 2 of these (1 to my wife's Fabia and 1 to my mum's Fabia). My wife's works perfect, coming home/leaving home, etc, but my mum's coming home/leaving home lights aren't working (auto function works fine).

[hutchysrs50]

Then it's not a fuse, the fuse blows and stops the dash lights and sidelights from working.

 

id think it's the programming you need to change
