Thanks for sharing this resource! This is definitely a much-needed tool given how sensitive the FRM modules are to voltage fluctuations and bulb issues on the E9x and E8x platforms.

A quick question regarding the functionality: does this tool essentially act as a frontend wrapper for the standard EDIABAS jobs? Usually, doing this manually involves opening Tool32, loading frm_87.prg or frm_70.prg, and running specific jobs like:


Or for specific lamp IDs:


If this tool automates the lookup of the lamp IDs (so we don't have to cross-reference the hex codes for specific lights like "Low Beam Left" vs "Turn Signal Right"), that is a massive time saver.

Does it require a specific Ediabas version (7.3.0 vs older), and is it confirmed working with standard K+DCAN cables?
