I just picked up my new-to-me 2022 M550i and have coded several things already on most of the ECUs, but haven't done the anti-dazzle yet as I want to make sure I really get it right. Would appreciate guidance from more experienced members/coders who have successfully coded this change on a USDM LCI G30.


So, these are the steps I have sussed out. Am I missing or incorrectly doing anything here.

Using the coding tool of your choice and after backing up the ECUs to be touched:

1. Remove 5AP and 8S4 from the VO and recode the vehicle order
2. Factory re-code BDC, FLM, HU, KAFAS, LHM_L, & LHM_R using the updated VO (presuming this will wipe any existing non-standard coding and will need to be re-done manually afterwards)
3. Adjust coding in KAFAS on the following 6 features accordingly:

• In 3100 change COUNTRY_VARIATION from USA_RC --> EUROPE_RC
• In 3102 change CLA_FLA_CC_MESSAGE_3 from CC_MESSAGE_ACTIVE --> NO_CC_MESSAGE
• In 3102 change C_FLA_COUNTRY_WITH_MULTIPLE_REFLECTORS from INACTIVE --> ACTIVE
• In 3102 change C_FLA_US_SENSITIVITY_MODE from USA --> NORMAL
• In 3102 change C_FLA_BS_ENTER_THRESH from USA --> REST OF WORLD
• In 3102 change C_FLA_BS_EXIT_THRESH from USA --> REST OF WORLD

Final Step: Re-code any prior coding manually, and optionally back up the ECUs again at this point for easier restoration in the future (not sure if this makes sense though as any changes in the future due to OTA updates may not be compatible with old backups).

How does this look? Thanks!

I used Bimmergeeks Protools and just removed the 5AP and 8S4 from the VO and it automatically reprogrammed every module associated with it. Seems to be working just fine.

Almaretto I saw your post and would appreciate any insights on my OP.

Thanks

Did you try changing the 3 options in that thread? It's literally just 3 variables.

Seems it's more than that. I want to know what the complete solution is, not the partial one.

Maybe you should try coding it first, then see what you think are missing and go from there. The LCI G30 does not have X-direction motors on the headlights, only Y-direction, so some things that work for pre LCI are not necessary for LCI anymore.

You can tell from the LCI variables that they changed a lot of things on the software side so it might be the case that you don't need to modify 80 variables.

Fair points. I have my mhd adapter coming on Saturday so I'll be doing this over the weekend.

Be sure to post all the values.

VO coded but it isn't dark yet so report out yet to come.

In the meantime, I have some unrelated coding questions if anyone here is informed:

1) What is "cornering wizard"? not cornering lights, mind you, but specifically "wizard"...

2) I want to enable the feature to be able to automatically unlock all doors when shifting into park (before turning off the car), but when I code this in, it enables the checkmark option in the iDrive window for door locks, but checking it does not enable the functionality ie the car does not unlock when shifted into park. Are there other coding settings I need to enable or adjust?

Thanks
