Gauging interest in Plug n Play option for BRZ Boomerang to turn ON with DRLs....

I sent out an email so we can discuss what we can go from here.

Pretty bummed out since I just received it yesterday after waiting half a month.

Please reinstall the factory relay, and try turning on your DRLs.

Just as we've mentioned to the others above, this module does not affect the stock DRL function in any way, it just also sends the power to boomerangs.

If your DRLs are not coming on at all during the day as DRLs, you do not have them switched on. Thanks!

Parking brake is down assuming manual car? Or in Neutral/Drive with parking brake down in automatic.

Haha glad I wasn't the only one. They seem to have used slightly different connectors than the stock connector (Or maybe subaru/toyota slightly changed it at some point?). They are the same but the little white plastic alignment piece inside the connector (or whatever you want to call it) is slightly different design. Same function just a bit different. Wonder if anyone else noticed...

Just reporting that the wire swapping mod works for AU cars. Thanks for the support DD.

I've always wondered why anyone would ever buy galaxy blue when you can get WRB. I don't know what it is about your car but now I get it.

Something about GBS in certain lights that make it looks awesome. That's the reason I bought it instead of WRB.

Currently in the talks with a representative at Diode Dynamics about my module. I installed it and watched the video multiple times. Both harnesses are installed to the headlight plugs and the relay was installed. All of my lights act as if the module wasn't installed. The jumpers are in the right spot.

Current behavior is the stock behavior. DRLs come on during the day, but not the boomerang.

Ill reply when we figure out a solution. I did notice that I couldn't change the position of the jumper to the down position because the black housing was not cut to allow enough room to push the jumper down.

This. Plus it's the rarest color...

I'm having the same issue. The jumper to control the DRLs is working, but not the boomerangs. So I can get the DRLs to turn on or off while headlights are on. I've moved the jumper to the off position to see if the Boomerangs come on in case its reversed on mine, but haven't had time to actually have somebody sit in the car so I can test (parked on an incline). If that doesn't work, then I'll send Diode Dynamics an email, see if they have any ideas.

Yea thats your issue then. DRLs dont come on at all unless your parking break is off, which is why your boomerangs haven't come on without headlights.

EDIT: Unless you mean your boomerangs dont come on even with headlights.. then I'm wrong and nvm.

No, I mean boomerangs only come on with the headlights. I know the DRLs are off with the parking break on

I haven't had a chance to test it after switching the jumpers. And since I'm parked on an incline, that's why I need a second person to test. So the parking brake can be turned off.

For those that can't view the functionality due to the parking brake, here's what I ended up doing: Set up your GoPro in front facing the car and view the camera remotely through your phone. If you don't have a GoPro, you can find a way to prop up your camera facing the car and record a video.

Thankfully, mine worked perfectly out of the box!
