Coding question.

X5MC_LI · 10-22-2014, 05:11 PM

Hey guys.
Has anyone been able to remove
(Via coding) the ugly Amber lights that are on the side of the headlights. This question is specifically for the owners of full LED headlights. As I'm finding out, it has been done on the Xenon headlights but not the LED ones. Any info/input would be greatly appreciated.

^^^^ This would be great to know for my friend's M5. Anyone?

Yup, Alex at Alpine coded mine off.

Yes, I've done so. Let me pull up the exact thing to remove when I get home.

I misread regarding the type of headlights you were trying to change. I did it on the Xenon's. But the same code should work as it's for the LED sidemarker:

Module: FRM
3060
U_EFF_SM_V
Change value of Werte_01 to 00

It actually doesn't work on the LEDs. Only Xenons for some reason. Haven't found one member yet that confirmed removing them on the LED headlights.

I wish, but as of right now, nothing yet. Checked with one local shop who called someone who they consider the king of coding and supposedly the guy said it's impossible to remove it via coding due to the way it is wired. He said it is wired directly to the headlights and the only way to remove it is to cut the wire. Not planning to do that as it is way to much work. Will wait and see I guess.
