Whilst waiting to pick up my son from a party , I just swapped the switch. 2 mins Job.
My side lights work as DRL.
CH/LH works fine.
As alexperkins suggested TFL pin needs to masked.
Hope this helps.

On my switch there is no marking seen.It's the third pin from left on the bottom row.
Sensor triggers okay.Response time is about 2-3 secs.To switch off it takes about 5-6 seconds approximately.Suits my needs.

I received my switch last week and got it fitted at the weekend (5min job)
Everything works great once the TFL pin has been masked as stated in previous post.
Only question I have - is it safe/fine to keep the switch on Auto all the time - The battery won't drain at all?
So far it has been great but would be my luck to end up with a drained battery or something

Are there any updates on this installation. What is the tfl pin? I'm looking at buying one if these kits but there seems to be various levels of wiring and reprogramming required with different ones.
We have a 12 months old blueGT if that helps towards the answer
