How to Program the Diode Dynamics SmartTap™ CF18 (LM449) Flasher Relay

[@CarlosValencia-cd7fi]

I watched this video 9000 times and still comes back whenever i want to reprogram it again lmao 😅

[@diodedynamics]

We'll always be here to help!

[@ARRehman802]

Me too

[@passionquebecetdecouvertes3370]

This is exactly what I dreamed of having on my toyota in France. So I ordered it because I am very satisfied with all the articles of Diode Dynamics that I have already received.

[@Athio-1125]

This way of programming it reminds me of using cheat codes in gta san Andres, gonna need to buy this now

[@diodedynamics]

So nostalgic!

[@svetlanashulga2715]

Works amazingly , best money spent on my FJ Cruiser! It doesnt activate the turn signals upon unlock, just on lock.

[@Iamleonbarbero]

Works with my lexus ct200h. Works as advertised!

[@oda2is982]

When you setting time for the arrival/departure lights the car have to be on or off? For some reason can't set less than 20 secs 2009 Lexus is350.

I have a 2020 Ascent and it seems like this item isn't compatible from what I've read. I'm mainly looking to switch to LEDs without hyper flashing. I've tried built-in resistor bulbs that worked fine in other cars, but in the Ascent these bulbs will flash normally sometimes, but also will go into hyper flash once they get hot (i'm assuming). My question is how can I get this vehicle to LEDs without hyper flash?

[@diodedynamics]

We're glad to hear you got it installed! Don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like assistance programming any of the functions!

[@camlife6930]

Sweet! Can the wig wag pattern be activated while the car is running? Or does the ignition need to be in the off position? 🤔

[@diodedynamics]

The wig wag pattern should work when the car is running as well.

[@KAnE3o1]

Can I turn off the arrival and departure lighting completely and not do the 10 secs to 90 secs?

[@diodedynamics]

While the SmartTap is configurable, it will not allow for you to turn it off.

[@greenmondaymorning]

This looks very cool, i am curious about the turn signal tap feature, my 05 corolla does not have this feature lile new toyotas do, will this device activate that or will it be unavailable to my application?

[@diodedynamics]

Hi there! We offer a Smart Tap for your Corolla, so everything should function!

[@TheLifeOnHigh]

@1:53 I’m having trouble configuring the “wig wag strobe” feature. Any tips beyond what this video delivered?

[@sweetooth08]

Arrival lights are backwards, they turn on when I lock the doors.

[@rivboi]

[@danielsane30]

I think of you have DRL function it only works on lock.

[@thmarkpark]

@@danielsane30 Do you know why this is? Any way to make it work both ways?

[@bachtelturm]

[@kaecee1991]

I got mine for my scion tc2. Only feature I was excited was the unlock and stay on feature but for some reason it only stays on only when locking the car but not when unlocking. Is there a reason for that?

[@bulletgrazer]

Can this be used with standard bulbs? Or does this require led bulbs?

[@diodedynamics]

+bulletgrazer0 It works great with standard or LED bulbs!

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Hi guys, really like this idea, just wondering how this would go on an australian fj cruiser? Our indicators on the front only turn on when turning and cant stay illuminated. Is it possible to have the normal wigwag etc etc along with everything else but not have the turn signals constantly illuminated whilst driving? (We have smaller bulbs in the main headlight assy. lens for the same function parking lights) Also do you have a distributor in australia? Cheers S

[@diodedynamics]

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out! Go ahead and email us at [e-mail], and our service team would be happy to look into this for you! Thanks!

[@user-njyzcip]

FYI the ADR says when the hazards are on both left and right indicators must turn on and off at the same time, at 30-90 flashes/min iirc

[@Shotokan07]

Are the strobe and wigwag options legal to use in New England States and NYC?

[@diodedynamics]

Hey there! We would definitely recommend checking your local laws to see what can and cannot be used.

[@LonewolfWRX]

Does this relay fix the hyperflashing on LED bulbs? I installed the DD LED C light upgrade on my 2020 WRX premium and it hyperflashes.

[@diodedynamics]

This module does fix hyperblinking. However, you shouldn't be experiencing hyperblinking with our C-Lights. Go ahead and give us a call at 314-205-3033 Monday-Wednesday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. CST (we are closed 12/31 and 1/1), or shoot us an email at [e-mail], and we can help you with that!

[@sc230mb]

My left circuit doesn’t work with LEDs front and rear. Does your relay work with a LED/incandescent combination?

[@diodedynamics]

This works for 2005 Toyota Camry Le?

[@diodedynamics]

It sure does!

[@dgkRyan81]

Would you run into any problems adding this if you already have resistors?

[@diodedynamics]

+Ryan Hanson You should not run into any issues installing our SmarTap with resistors already installed. However, if you do experience any problems at all, disconnecting the resistors should address that.

[@Glyphosatemax]

Doesnt work on gt86 2019. Wont save when you put stalk in center.

@@diodedynamics I contacted the support who took the module under warranty but the problem is the same even though according to the support the vehicle is compatible

[@godsplannn]

Hi mine apparently stopped showing the arrival function. What’s the reason for this? When I went in the car the left turn signal was engaged although my car was off (if that is a reason it’s off.)

Will this work with push button start on 2016 Subaru STI? As far as programming? I saw you worked with a turn key vehicle

[@diodedynamics]

+Ranger TS Yes, this function should work the same with push-button start!

[@FuryJDM]

Thanks! I'm about to order. I just installed my switchback c-lights and they're amazing. Only issue I have though is one turns on and one stays off when I switch to the DRL mode on the headlamp switch.

[@MaulKiller54]

If I use LEDs for my front turn signals, but retain the stock bulbs in the rear turn signals, will they both blink at the same (correct) speed?

[@diodedynamics]

+MaulKiller54 They sure will! The SmartTap will correct any hyperblinking issues with your LED replacements, so they will match with your stock turn signals.

[@MaulKiller54]

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

[@neoquip]

how do you do a combined wigwag strobe effect? when you say a combo of eight effects, what would they be? I fitted mine on a 2008 STi Subaru yesterday, dead easy to fit.

[@diodedynamics]

+neoquip For more programming instructions, check out our programming guide at the link below! You can combine the hazard modes to create effects like wig-wag strobe, slo-mo wig-wag, slo-mo wig-wag strobe, etc. If you have any further questions, feel free to email us at [e-mail]! diodedynamics.com/docs/install/universal/SmartTap_Guide_2.pdf

[@neoquip]

yeah, read that. What does it mean when it says you can combine them with your strobe settings? What/which STROBE setting are you referring to?

[@diodedynamics]

+neoquip There is one base strobe setting, and you can combine wig-wag and/or slo-mo effects with it to create other effects. If you have any further questions, feel free to give us a call at 314-205-3033 Monday-Friday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. CST, or shoot us an email at [e-mail], and we can explain further!

[@PinealConceptsLLC]

Where was the flasher located on your STi? About to do this on a 2014 Crosstrek and haven't really looked yet. Hopefully it's easy.

[@michaelwu9135]

Will the smart tap work with sequential turn signals? If so how does it work?

[@diodedynamics]

+Mwu Check out the link below for our list of compatible vehicles! www.diodedynamics.com/smarttap-cf18-led-flasher-module.html

[@michaelwu9135]

Diode Dynamics I meant how would it work with sequentials on my wrx?

[@diodedynamics]

+Mwu Unfortunately, we are not able to confirm compatibility or function with any aftermarket headlights or tail lights which may have a sequential function.

[@boostedbuddah7784]

Do these hazard options hold memory because I can't get it to?

[@diodedynamics]

The speed at which you program the hazards to blink will save, but the patterns will not. For example, if you are wanting your hazards to wig wag, you would have to turn on you hazards and then hit the turn signal to activate it.

[@SubaruWrxSti1]

Does this void any dealer warranty?

[@diodedynamics]

+az0nicmtb125 Since you'd simply be replacing the flasher without cutting any wires, you would not be voiding your warranty.

[@aznChillax]

Is this compatible for 11 scion tc?

[@diodedynamics]

It sure is!

[@Haruyuki11609]

Has the delay for the Tapturn for 2016+ model WRX/STI with OEM tap turn been fixed with this relay?

[@diodedynamics]

+Aaron Sze Yes! Many other CF18 flashers have a longer first blink, due to the analog capacitor used for timing. Our flasher is completely redesigned to be fully digital, so there is no hesitation or longer first blink.

[@tools3657]

@@diodedynamics after I push the hazard button I get on long blink followed by the 2 blink succession. That normal?
