Can the dealer disable license plate lights in reverse?

[Quickstep192]

It seems to me that if a Tazer can disable the license plate light in reverse, the dealer should be able to.

Has anyone ever tried?

There is a dude on ebay selling a wire harness and relay that's plug and play, it cuts your lic light in reverse. The seller is carpemaur1 and as I'm writing this he has 1 left. He does a pretty nice job.

I also believe this is one of the live functions of the tazer. So I don't believe it works without the tazer plugged in.

It's not a feature that can be turned on/off. What the Tazer does is it intercepts CANBus signals and send its own signal that cuts the lights. This is why it's an "active" feature (meaning, the Tazer has to be plugged in for it to work)

I also made my own harness similar to ones on Ebay. If you've never pinned out a Tyco/Molex connector, then I would buy a pre-assembled version.

Makes a HUGE difference, by the way:

No more on eBay. I sent a message to the seller asking when he might make some more.

do you have links to the connectors you bought?

And a wiring diagram?

It would be a straight forward project to build a harness with a relay that turned off the lic plate lights when the reverse lights came on.

You could also apply a bit of black electrical tape to part of the plate lights to reduce glare on the rear camera.

I suspect that in most places, it technically is not legal to disable the license plate lights while in reverse, so even IF the dealer could do it with a simple programming change (and they can't, as has already been explained above), no legitimate dealer would do it.

I am actually going to do a write-up on it with connectors and a wiring diagram. Just need to get around to putting all my notes/pics together.

I’m not finding this on EBay. What should I search?

Carpemaur1 is very flexible and communicative. He was out of stock when I contacted him, and he made a new batch fairly quickly. They are high quality.
