Always-On™ Module for Subaru BRZ by Diode Dynamics

[DaJo]

@Diode Dynamics Is it possible to also loom these wires while you guys have them off the shelf for the time being? I'm contemplating to get these actually... I mean I wanted them in the beginning but with the current problem with some of these it kind of turned me off a little.

I know you folks are working super hard to get it all sorted out so I can't wait until they're back in stock! (Maybe even with the wire loom option!)

For everyone else- we are now seeing a problem where some relays (the extra brown relay itself) don't make full contact in the fuse holder socket. It is extremely frustrating because we are having a very hard time testing for it- it seems to be on a vehicle by vehicle basis. We are actively testing a number of BRZs in order to determine exactly why the relay is not making connection.

Thank you.

So, the DRLs are dimmed when the car is off and I flip the stalk to parking lights or headlights on (same dim level whether headlights are on or not), but then they go back to full brightness when the car is turned on or in the ACC mode (and again, no difference between auto/parking/or headlight ON position, just full brightness). Any idea why this would be occurring?

Edit: Also, the sidemarkers are now on no matter the position, which sucks.

I want to buy this module asap. Updates?

I bought the updated version from FTEightySix. Have to admit, once or twice they haven't turned on in the day time. But never fail at night. I'm happy with them though. Could be something with just the connection of the relay.

How long ago did you buy them? Are they still in stock? Are they the DD brand or did FTEightySix make them?

I ordered them beginning of January. I'm not sure if they're still in stock but if you go on their website, you can see if it's still up for sale. The order was fulfilled by FTEightySix, but the packaging slip and shipping came straight from Diode Dynamics. In a Diode Dynamics box. With a Diode Dynamics product.

Not trying to hi-jack the thread, but yes.

It seems like Diode Dynamics dropped their FR-S module. They said something about it coming in a few weeks(months ago), then they hid the related youtube video, and then they stopped responding. So, I bought the BeatSonic one when I learned of it, and it works perfectly.

What do you mean I should be good? This isn't normal for JDM and it's not what the DD module was supposed to do. It's supposed to keep your 'Boomerang' lights on all the time and DIM the DRL strip at night when the headlights are on. When the headlights are off during the day they should be at full brightness. This isn't happening, they're at full brightness all the time if the car is running and only dim when the car is in accessory mode. Plus having the parking lights on during the day is bullshit since that's no different that putting the stalk in the parking light position.
