Amber DRL worked for my 2026.
Same for me - no problems on my 26. I've done Bambi mode, Amber DRLs, turned off FENG, and enabled approach lighting.

The spreadsheet should be updated to note that disable FENG is now just an easy code change: (thanks to @EdmontonST for finding)

Very easy to do. Do the following after it's installed:

Step 1: Enabled "Keypad" in BdyCM which enables the hardware itself (use Keypad in search bar in BdyCM module in easy mode, not asbuilt)

Step 2: Enabled "Keypad" in APIM successfully, enables the option in your infotainment screen.

Step 3: Perform the BdyCM Local Interconnect Network New Module Calibration (will be in the wrench icon on the left bar in FORScan).
Sorry Nightshade, as Genericjeff said in post #13, that does not work for a 2025 model. There must be another setting somewhere else that needs to be changed. FDRS has a routine for doing this in the "toolbox" section, and that's what the dealers use to activate the keypad. For some reason, your steps above do not work. Something is missing that gets changed by FDRS. I got the same results as Genericjeff---I get 2 or 3 presses of numbers and then the keypad goes dark. FDRS must do something additional besides your 3 steps above.
