When converting a loco to battery power is it possible to utilising existing built in DCC sound \ light functions?

Just to clarify that our OMNI r/c system for DCC automatically turns on the lights for the direction of travel but does not allow manual override. Functions F1 to F12 are available on the handset. Higher functions than this would have to be re-mapped to one of these or set to operate at intervals. We offer a decoder reprogramming service, but it is rarely required, as the functions of interest on most sound projects are in the F1-F12 range. Using the existing DCC on the loco does make for an easy install, simply add battery, divert track pick-ups to our OMNI Rx4 receiver and away you go.

Steve I replied to Greg in another post suggesting that there was only 6 Functions.
