Would it be possible to add an icon for MainBeam?

This is what a stock VW MK4 "Sport" cluster looks like:

"Lights failure" signal going from cluster Blue 6 to ColorMFA TrInput9.
You already have this warning.
You got this photo from vwvortex forum, where guys talk about HIDDEN functions in cluster. They enable "Laghts failure" and "Brake failure" warnings via EEPROM change. You already have both of them. What other warning are you writing about ?
Another failure for lamp is already occupied as DHC error (Green 21 in cluster). Thats all. No more connection for any lamp failure on original cluster.

I think manicslothpdx only wants to say that he has warning but no icon for main lamp failure.
I have it in 33 fw, just tested.

Ok. Sorry, did not understand what it was about.
In what firmware version icon is not present ?

manicslothpdx · Post 28 Mar 2021, 07:05

Correct, I am just missing the icon. I have the immo3 version 2.9.4b33. I do have the icons for BrakeLamp and DHC, just not MainLamp. My post on page 1 has two photos.

I'll check it out.

An update. I was slightly wrong. The MainLamp icon IS visible, but only for a few seconds. It flashes a few times, but when it stops flashing there is no icon, only text. I didn't notice this during testing because I was moving around unplugging the bulbs and it stopped flashing before I looked at the cluster.

Maybe the difference is the MainLamp icon is not visible when it stops flashing, but the BrakeLamp icon is visible when it stops flashing.

I have checked all b5 b33 firmwares and did not find this problem. All icons are displayed correctly.
Perhaps you have one of the test firmware installed. Download the firmware from this site and update.

Is the icon supposed to stay on after it stops flashing? Or, is there only supposed to be text when it stops flashing?

I do not understand what kind of "stop flashing" are you talking about ?
The big icons flashes continuously and never stop. The flashing of the small icon (in the OK area) depends on the settings in the menu.

Ok, thanks. My headlight is working again so I can't make a video. I thought the icon stopped flashing after a few seconds and went away. That's when I took the photo. Maybe something else was happening. Thanks again for the help.
