Cru Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yes you can! There are a few ways you can do it. One way is to flash your headlights during the boot-up af the AVIC-Z1. Another way is to buy DucatiBoy's flasher module and it will send a signal to the Z1 telling it that the headlights have been flashed. This way does not actually flash the headlights it just sends a signal. I recommend DucatiBoy's little invention because it does all the work for you, is very easy to install and only costs around $25..... Also if you are driving a 740il then you probably don't want to be flashing your headlights all the time. Hope this helps Cru Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Units made June 06 and older need the head light flasher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
