What's the tunnel effect? I own a euro spec with adaptive and curious what the difference to the US cars are in the lights. My car has 552 and 5AC if that means anything

Hi everyone, I just took delivery of my new 2018 G30 540i xDrive with Icon Full LED headlights. I traded in my F32 2014 435i xDrive that also had full LED headlights. I had previously coded to enable variable light distribution and intelligent headlight control (no-dazzle high beams). I'd be interested to know if both of these coding tasks have been successfully performed on a G30 yet and if so is it fully tested and documented? Thanks.

And do I understand correctly that unlike the F32 you cannot simply remove the offending 5AP (decoding for no-dazzle high-beam) and 8S4 (decoding variable light distribution) codes from the FEM and then re VO code the FEM_BODY and FLA/KAFAS2 to have it set all the necessary values?

Hi Almaretto, I think you misunderstood my question. I am asking/confirming that coding of the NGHB is not as simple as it was on Fxx series cars?
Conversely, it sounds like coding VLD is the same procedure as Fxx, right? |

Retrofit Adaptive Full LED Headlights
Hi,
as a newbie in Bimmerpost I am not allowed to start a new thread, so sorry to bother here with my question. On August 1st I pick up (European Delivery) my dream car - the 530e (2018). I was surprised to find that the headlights do not look as I expected. A great deal of the confusion though is due to the untrained sale person from the local dealership because he failed to explain to me that there are TWO types of headlights. All three models - 740e, 530i and 530e were available to test drive and I drove them all before closing the deal, have the Adaptive Full LED Headlights and I had no idea about the existence of another type - (524 Adaptive Headlight + 5A2 LED Headlights), neither that the two inner projectors will be a dummy in this configuration. My question is about the options I have to replace them with the Full Adaptive. Does someone has been involved in such a problem or have some knowledge to contribute if this is doable at all? Thanks |

Only the 750 (not 740) can come equipped with 552 ICON LED. Any of the G30's can as well. |

Sounds optimistic but I assume your answer is from the coding point of view only. Do you think it might be any mechanical/electrical incompatibility? Will I need in addition of the whole headlight assy to install some other electronics blocks or cables? My car does not have a front camera (on the internal rear view mirror), so the low/high beam switching should be set to manual.

My car is on the way to arrive soon but I am starting now the search for schematics, connectors, and their pin allocations. If my findings are positive I would buy one headlight assy (2-3k$) but would you help me with the coding?

Yes, I can help with coding. You will also need ISTA+ to initialize.
