Who is offering remote coding?

I'm interested in getting my LED headlights coded for anti dazzle and VLD along with some other goodies. I see that Almaretto was highly recommended on the forums, but hasn't been active in awhile. Any recommendations for other members that can code the lights remotely? Thanks in advance.

Bimmercode

I ended up coding the car myself via Bimmercode. Here's a list of all the coding options available on the G30: https://www.bimmercode.app/cars/g30/

Upon further research it's not possible to simply code anti-dazzle or VLD as hardware is different as well. Unless you replace the headlights with euro spec, it's not possible.

Technically, it is possible to simply code it, you'll just be potentially blinding other drivers

Anti-Dazzle and VLD works fine in my car... you have to do a VO edit...which Bimmercode cant do.

I'm not into remote coding (seems to risky for my tastes)
However if you are local to me, I'm happy to do coding and/or ISTA diagnostics/programming. I have a genuine ICOM NEXT.
Located in Santa Clara, CA area.

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately I'm not local. Can you elaborate on the VO edit?

You need to remove option codes from your cars VO/FA.
PM me the last 7 of your VIN, I can tell you what I mean.
