hi all well my blind motor has kicked the bucket, so i managed to buy a complete sunroof with blind and motor which my wife has collected today, now doe the motors need any kind of proxy alignment (silly question probably but thought i would ask before swapping it out).

cheers

The roof control is a NODE on the can network, so it may need the proxy alignment procedure, however as you are replacing like with like, I doubt it.

You will need to carry out the reset procedure as follows:

RESETTING THE CONTROL UNIT MEMORY

The initialization procedure must be carried out each time the sun roof control units are changed, whilst if there is a drop in the supply whilst he roof is working (failed supply from the battery) the procedure should be carried out only up to step 3.

The initialization procedure is illustrated below:
  1. Turn the rotary selector knob to position '0' (fully closed)
  2. Keep the rotary selector pressed (for longer than 2 secs): the roof closes
  3. Wait, keeping the roof completely closed until the blind has clicked shut twice (Hard closing position and then returns to the Soft closing position)
  4. Release the selector and press it again within 3 secs.
  5. Keep the selector pressed until the roof (glass and blind) is completely open and then closed again
  6. Release the selector;
The initialization is completed at this point.

The initialization process cannot not take place successfully if one of the following conditions occurs:

  • The rotary selector has not been placed in position '0';
  • The selector has been released during the manoeuvre;
  • The blind operating button has been pressed;
If the process has not been successfully concluded it should be repeated.
