UCC & TLA on latest cars - is it really available?
I cannot find online any information about the actual autonomous driving capabilities of new BMWs, with full Driving Assistant Professional enabled.
You can find a lot of "news" that since 2020/2021 all new 5 series should have traffic lights / stop signs / yield recognition and even support "urban cruise control" for actually stopping autonomously at the traffic lights / stops. This would be a huge step forward in convenience for driving compared to traditional active cruise control with stop & go only working if there is a car in front of you. But very few videos are available of these functionalities in action, and absolutely zero reference to this feature for 5 series on BMW website... just some old "prototype / in testing" videos / page. Are these features really present & active on NEW 5 series (in Europe at least, I understood that USA may be on the list of "disabled" countries for these)? Or you can only enable them with coding? I'm talking about a G30 MY2022/2023. Thank you! P.s. the only video I found which shows and explain how these functionalities work in detail is this one in German (use auto-translate CC in English): |

There was also an instructional video from BMW on the feature, which was pulled (ie. made private)!
This really makes me think they wanted to give this feature for real with an update, but then they deemed it "not good enough" and so never actually turned it on. Anyone knows something about it? |

Found another video, still in German and still from 1 year ago. My guess is that this was somehow pulled/postponed, or if this was actually released, only for very very limited markets (not even the whole Europe, maybe only Germany?).
Of course you can turn it on for recent cars with coding, but I was trying to understand if these capabilities were ever released for real in any market. I'm puzzled you cannot find ANY information about it online, neither on BMW websites, or YouTube, or anything. Can anyone with a recent EU car with proper options (DAP, heads-up display) confirm or deny? |

I have now received the car, a G31 2023, and it's in the default OS, the support for traffic lights and urban cruise control and all.
The problem is that it's disabled in my country (Italy), along with other functions (change lane, auto-accept speed limit, etc..). I will have probably to code to force it "ON" for my country / all (FF FF FF FF in several Land_aktiv settings). I will test it and get back |

I think the US get extended traffic jam assist aswell ( which I understand to be be the same as traffic jam assist but not having to put your hands on the wheel so often) . But don't believe we get this in Europe
I'm getting a g30 in march with the top assistance kit so will see what it has but not expecting any new over and above has already been shown Of course level 3 autonomy is supposed let coming on the g60 in 2024 |

The only features missing in Italy are: 1) Lane Change Assist 2) Traffic Lights Recognition / Urban Cruise Control to automatically stop at STOP SIGNS & TRAFFIC LIGHTS and restart as well 3) Auto accept of speed limits (you have to manually "SET" them) I guess all of them can be coded by altering the Land_aktiv mask for enabled countries. Unfortunately this needs ESYS since easier solutions (e.g. BimmerCode) do not allow SAS coding usually. |

I was previously on 2021/07 and noticed that the green light recognition in 2022/07 has improved. It displays the change on the dash and the car automatically pulls away more frequently. Lane change assist may be a little less aggressive but not 100% sure. |

my Feb 2023 UK g30 does not have lane change assistant , nor traffic light recognition.
Vin decoder shows option 8TR which i thought was to disable some features if you had individual paint (I have sophisto grey) I'll contact the BMW "genius " and see what they say but don't expect much as they seem only able to get to public information that we can all find anyway. Strange as I had it enabled on my 2017 model from the factory so odd BMW have subsequently disabled. |

I was able to code UCC and TLA on my nov 22 G31 using G05 cheat sheet. Basically everything was already on, I just had to change the land aktiv masks to FF, FF, FF, FF for it to work.
Now I only miss automatic acceptance and LCA. I will keep trying to find a way to code them. |

Have you any instructions how to do this? I used to Bimmercode for other functionalities, but in Esys I'm rookie. Thx in advance. |

Thank you, I just bought the bimmer utility, but I’m looking how to code the UCC Land active (country mask) but I can’t code FF…… I have only one standard option. And I think that TLA doesn’t work fully automatically…
