No problem with the DCC locomotives and modern Märklin AC-DCC locomotives. But I amb observing that with the Märklin locomotives only with motorola format and with more than 4 functions like for example 37628 F7 Kansas City, I enclose the functions manual detail, all funtions described in the manual with function 5/6/7/8/9 and 10 do not work at all. That happens with all Märklin locomotives with this type of decoder motorola with more than 4 functions. It is normal? What can I do in order to solve this anomaly? These functions only works with digital Märklin comander? Thanks for information. Rgds. Josep

Try it! Peder Thanks Peder for reply. I know that, with the old Intellibox comander I needed to do this because from factory it only managed 4 functions but after an update and doing your procedure it was be able to manage till 8 functions, but with the new Intellibox II, it manage 28 functions and with format DCC I have not no problem, only with MFX Märklin I have these problems.

Rgds Josep The extra addresses are not necessarily turned on in the decoder. You may have to set some CVs in the decoder to enable the +1, +2 etc addresses to get at the extra functions.
