I thought I had turned the 'auto engine off' thing off as the engine wasn't turning off by itself anymore :)

But in the new version of forscan I noticed a selector box in the IPC section, that one was enabled - I changed it to disabled, but the descriptor also says changes are required in the BCM - I couldn't see a selector box in that section, what other changes do I need to make ?? (or have I already made them previously ?)


Cheers

BCM use 726-48-02 x0xx-xxxx-xxxx will be x1xx-xxxx-xxxx at the moment. I Missed it on my BCM list but it will added next time.

You will need to change this manually in BCM asbuilt.

Here's a bit of a weird observation...

I've had the auto engine off - turned off for quite some time...
I've got installed a dual battery monitor connected to both crank and second battery's, when driving the crank battery pretty much always sat at 13.6V or higher when driving. the second battery was pretty similar (2x Deep cycles connected to a redarc 40A bcdc) - at this point I hadn't enabled dual battery mode.

I've just been an tuned the auto engine stop thing back on (IE back to factory). I still haven't enabled dual battery mode
since making this change I've noticed that the battery voltage now sits at 12.6V unless I add a load (i.e. turn on the lights) before it then goes up to 13.6v+ (second battery's maintain 13.6v).

I just thought it strange that enabling/disabling the auto stop feature would have an effect on alternator output.

Does Auto Engine Idle Shutdown not work for the Everest?
I enabled in IPC (is displayed in Settings) & changed BCM value as above but it doesn't seem to work (engine shuts off immediately)

Any ideas?

It is for manual vehicles only. Current automatic is not compatible.

Although I have an Everest (auto) and auto off isn't available. I am curious what it actually does?

Manual transmission, stopped, foot on clutch at lights etc. engine shuts down meet Euro emissions, not burning fuel while idling etc.

The new 10 speed auto with the 2.0 MY19 supports this feature so I have no doubt it will be implemented.
