Need help, is there any way to activate the coming home/leaving home function on a skoda fabia mk2??

 

I have auto lights installed.

Which autolights kit. 

I ordered one off eBay with the standard fitting with a sensor built in but I don't know the serial number of the switch

Got a link 

I got it through the app but it does say it's compatible, I just don't know how to activate it

Do you have the link 

Here's the link:

Should be the first one

Did you get this sorted? I will have a look at my versions instructions for you if not.

Still no luck I even have a manual and it's not activating it :(

To get mine working I had to do the leaving home setting with the ignition OFF, which I took as no key in or anything:

 

- Start with it pointing 0 then after a few seconds

- move it to AUTO, leave it for one second 

-Move it to 0, leave for one second

-back to AUTO for one second

-then back to 0 for a few seconds, and that supposedly turns it on.

 

Factory reset might help it too again with the power OFF:

 

- Leave at AUTO for a few seconds

- Move to 0 for one second

- Back to AUTO for a few seconds.

 

Another Issue I had might be worth checking is fuse 17 had blown when I first installed it, and killed the side lights, this seemed to stop me being able to set the leaving coming home lights. I installed a 7.5amp instead of the 5amp and all started working fine.

 

Hope this helps!

Funny enough my sidelights aren't working at all so that might be the problem, I'll give that a try and hopefully make some progress!

youve blew a fuse if they arent working you need to upgrade the fuse to a 7.5

Update: still have no luck on activating them I've changed the fuses and nothing is happening.

still not working? im thinking of buying this kit myself.

I've seen videos of it working  but I don't know if I'm doing it wrong myself or it could be the specs of my car or it could be the kit I've installed being faulty because ever since I've installed it a few features on my car don't work anymore like left or right parking lights dont turn on and my daytime running lights switching on instead of the side lights, but auto lights still work.

 

Im still trying to get them working but its still worth the try.

Mine now has decided the fog lights should be auto on too. Can't figure out how to stop it!

Have you tried the covering the sensor? Or tried putting the sensor lower on the dash so the black dotted parts of the windscreen is covering it, I found out it works better if you put it there as there still a little bit of light coming through to it?

 

Oh and mine was doing that too at the start.

Here is my instruction manual I got from the company.
