Internal vs. External Sensor Versions
The product is available in two sensor configurations:
1. Internal Sensor Type
Contains a built-in ambient light sensor that automatically detects changes in light and activates the headlights. Recommended for users who want a completely clean installation without routing an external sensor.
2. External Sensor Type
A good choice for cars with tinted glass. Comes with a small sensor wire for flexible mounting on the dashboard. This option is ideal if you prefer external placement for quicker light detection or customization.
Both versions support full automatic headlight functionality and advanced features without requiring coding in most Polo, Vento, and Ameo models.
User-Controlled Configuration Switch
A dedicated configuration button is provided at the back of the unit. This allows you to customise light behaviour—enable or disable Coming Home / Leaving Home lights, adjust fog lamp logic, and fine-tune automatic headlight sensitivity as per driving preferences.
