Lane Change Assistant

GermanCarGuy · 09-27-2018, 06:34 PM

I have a loaded 2018 G30 an am looking for the genius in the group that can get me lane change assistant flashed/coded.

Take it you are in a country that has not enabled it?

I'm in the U.K. where it was enabled in July 2017 builds and later and have additionally noted that all safety system need to be enabled for it to work( I once tailored those systems and found it not working so set them all back on again and it worked again but I don't recall which setting may have caused it. Just saying make sure all are enabled)

I know it's not enabled in Sweden as other have reported that here. Which country are you in?

GermanCarGuy · 10-02-2018, 04:51 PM

I am in the US and it is not enabled here. There must be coding and a hack to make it work. ;-)

Have you looked on the coding forums to see whether anyone has got round this?

GermanCarGuy · 10-03-2018, 02:46 AM

I looked an not yet. Almaretto seems to be the guy to make it happen. Have u figured out how to code default startup to adaptive? I looked at the Fes options but none seem to reference adaptive as the default.

AP · 10-03-2018, 03:17 AM

I did a few settings on my previous f10 via ESTA but I have no plans to do any coding on my g30 so a bit out of date as regards this.

Hope you find something although to be fair it's not a big deal , more of a party trick than anything genuinely useful but I guess if you haven't got it , you want to try it out which I understand.

Any drive mode can be set, including adaptive.

Almaretto coded mine for me and it defaults to adaptive drive. I use that as my default drive and usually leave it there; if I feel a need for more power/torque, I throw the shifter to the left.

Of course, one has to first have selected the dynamic damper option.

Dynamic Dampers isn't a requirement for Adaptive Driving Mode. They are completely two different things.

I realize that adaptive drive is more than just dynamic dampers but I don't think you can get adaptive drive without it.

Adaptive button in the car is a driving mode which has nothing to do with the option Adaptive Drive. Adaptive button refers to car controlling what the driving mode is dependent on conditions. It takes navigation data (if a destination is active), driving style, etc into account in deciding the right configuration.

On the other hand Adaptive Drive refers to where's the cars suspension system which includes dynamic dampers, anti roll bars, etc. In cars equipped with Adaptive Drive, it's always on. There's no selection of that suspension setup.

I can confirm that lane change assistant works on the 2018 5series in the US. Took a TON of research but here ya go! It's possible.

I worked with Roxxor to get this working by unlocking the country mask. Coding here: https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=25

I noticed from your YT vid you were looking at addressing aSLA region lock.

I unlocked this for G05-G07 owners. Not the same for G30, but you should get some tips from the coding - focus on the land masks.

MY 2018 G30 540i doesn't change lanes. I live in the UK, I guess i need to go to the dealer to enable it.

You might need a coder or if ur feeling froggy tackle it yourself.

Managed to get it to work.. Turns out i was doing it wrong. Only a year and a half after owning the car as i didn't realise i had it.

Your U.K. 540i should have it assuming you have driving assistant plus of course.

Lane change assistant was added in July 2017 builds and later for the U.K.

Yep managed to get it to work thanks!

How do you find it?
Personally I just use it for amusement rather than any real necessity.

I think the best part if this level 2 autonomy that is on the car to be the traffic jam assistant. I think this arguably the most useful and clever part of it. I just love the way it can lock on to the car I front and follow that even when there are no lane markings that are detected. Depending upon your speed, it can drive for quite a while before you are prompted to put your hands on the steering wheel

mrgicm · 04-18-2020, 05:31 AM

Traffic jam assistant combined with coded no hands on wheel needed is the perfect thing. Saves me a ton of nerves and makes sitting in a traffic jam 10x easiyer.
