I'm not sure I had someone code the car.

Pretty sure only possible for a certain year and newer as well. What year is yours? 2016/17?

Good point Mav! I'd like to confirm this as well. His is a '18 F85 if IIRC.

Looked up the part, and it says it's for night vision vehicles. Weird. No further info.

Yeah, yours is not for night vision, just looked up the part you listed and it says it's for night vision on a couple of parts' sites.
BTW, I did PM you on it!

Besides coding, is there anything else needed to get rear fogs? Do we need to change rear lamps or add any harness ?

I would like to know this as well. Unlike other F-series vehicles, my understanding from wdimagineer was that the tall lamp wiring in US vs ECE vehicles is different.

If it's possible to code without wiring changes, I would be all over this!

I know in my US-Spec 17 model, I have been unable to get this coded.

[menelaos]

I looked up on realoem, and there does not seem to be a special inner taillight for this to work.
So there must be something else we're missing....

Me neither on a 2014. Was only able to get it to where the icon lights up in the dash, that was it.

There is a thread on this I believe. The guy bought European tail lights and had to wire in the new harness with coding if I recall. I thought I remember the harness being the same for newer years but don't recall.
