Flashing brake lights

The other day i was reluctantly driving behind new C-class AMG (not for long though
).
Something i noticed is that on hard-ish braking, his brake lights were "flashing" which i found really interesting , both functionally and aesthetically.
Hence the question - is this something that could be added or programmed to C6?

I've done it for the B8 and just checked the RossTech wiki for the C6, where it looks like you can.

Thx Sam... i will give it a go.
It may be too much of an ask - do you happen to know how this is triggered on C6, e.g. at certain speed, brake pedal press etc.?

I believe it's triggered by braking force, ie its to let cars following you know that you've had to slow down at an increased rate, I personally wouldn't like it installed as can you imagine seeing a police car while being naughty, hitting the brakes and the hazards going off, they'd pull a u turn and come after you in an instant lmao

Good point

Here is what i’ve done... when i hit Test it does not yield the outcome desired.
Any hints?

Unfortunately I'd have no idea how to enable it, I have seen it on other cars and it's been triggered in our Merc trucks occasionally when hammering the brake.

I saw it on a Focus RS mk2 about a year ago but it did it everytime he touched the brakes! Bloody annoying to the point of distraction so I let him get far enough ahead not to see the car in the end.
