Coding Adaptive LEDs, Beam Shaping

Do we know anyone who has successfully coded Euro Adaptive LED feature that shapes the high beam to illuminate everything except the cars you follow and oncoming traffic?

Thanks.

yes I did. what you want to know?

when I drive behind someone during night, the high beam cone is left and right from him .. if a car approaches from the left .. only right cone is active until he leaves the field of view. works really great

for this feature you need to change the Vehicle order in FA. See attached .pdf

This should explain this part. For this feature you need to delete 5AP & 8S4 on the US cars.

After you wrote the new FA without the two VOs you have to code to ECUs new.

Read FA(VO) - Activate FA(VO) - Read SVT - Right-Click ECU & Select Code

Do this with FEM_BODY and KAFAS2
Now the feature should work

Afterwards both ECUs are set to UK default values. So every changes you did before on those ECUs has to be done again! For example opening/closing side mirrors with the key is in FEM_BODY

If i remember correctly when you only have HBA and do not have Drivers Asst you get the FLA module and not KAFAS2. You dont need that in order to Active the antidazzle and VLD though. The FDL Coding portion of that just changes the speed at which it activates/deactivates. To turn it on in the original "BMW Design" you only need to VO Code.

In Canada, when you order the LED headlights you don't get the High Beam Assist (as in the US). High Beam Assist is part of another package (Technology package) which I did not order.

I did however order the Speed Limit Info, so my car is equipped with a forward looking camera in the rearview mirror pod.

Do you know if it would possible to activate the "anti dazzle" feature on my car through coding? I really would like to have it activated.

Since you dont have HBA you can only activate VLD(variable light distribution). Anti dazzle requires the HBA button on the turn signal stalk. You would need to remove the 5AP from the VO.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

There is no way to work around not having the button? Like tricking the software in believing the button is always on?

You can code that the high-beam assistent is always on! so you wont have to press that button. But I heard nobody achieved to get this working on F8x ...

I can confirm that we have tried to code that on, but it does not come on by default.

So after it's coded, how do you get the lights to do the anti dazzle trickery?

Yeah. You do not turn on high-beams (blue icon). Instead, You press the high beam assist button on the left stalk. That will give you green headlight icon with letter A. High beams will come on when car senses no traffic, go off when there's a lot of traffic, and start shaping (partially turning on/off) when appropriate.

is there a speed threshold before which the shaping does not occur?
