How to Bimmercode VLD and Anti-Dazzle (GFHB) with your adaptive LED headlights

[Anubus12]

I am familiar with E-sys, but not familiar with this software. May I ask what it is and where to get a copy? Thanks.

Download Bimmercode on your iPhone or tablet, buy the full version to get Expert Mode, use a compatible WiFi adapter or ENet cable.

Thanks! Only can code in Expert Mode?

You can make more adjustments in Expert Mode.

Here is another reboot question. So I am looking at enabling vld and anti dazzle. While in BimmerCode I do not have a Footwell nor a Front Electronic Module option, But I do have a Body Domain Controller that has a 3073 LciMaster option, but then that’s where it stops. Nothing that looks like anything above to proceed with coding. It’s a March MY22 X5 US spec build with the icon adaptive led laser headlights. Any info or assistance is appreciated.

Ok. Bimmercode just got back to me. They said the app doesn't support my MY22 X5 to recode dazzle or VLD back in on my icon adaptive led laser headlights. Does anyone know of any other iOS apps that will? I really don't want to have to go with eSys if I don't have to.

Car has LEDs (5AC, 5AP, 8S4), but when I got into Expert Mode on Bimmercode, I had two options for each parameter and was not able to check both options as required per instructions above. Some values read 20, 25 or 30, so again, unsure on which to choose.


3073 LaMaster1 > LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y > 9C,9C,9C (Both)

I had two options for F020_mit_AFS 0x9C 0x9C 0x9C, but could only choose one.

3073 LaMaster1 > C_AFS_ENA > Enable (Both)

This showed F020_enable and F030_enable.

3073 LaMaster1 > C_HBA_ENA > Enable (Both)

This showed F020_enable and F030_enable.

3073 LaMaster1 > C_HBA_GRHB_ENA > Highway_Standby_AFS
3073 LaMaster1 > C_HBA_ADAPT_SHUT_ENA > Enable

These were both fine and had one option to choose from.

Hoping for some insight from you coding gurus!

Interesting, I would have thought it would work on the F80 without a hitch. I don't know why the options are different nor do I know exactly what those particular parameters control. I'm quite sure it will work just as it does in the F10 though.

I, for one, can't advise you to play. Coding wrong can be risky. So it's better if someone with experience would chime in.

Well the fact that you have the Laser lights means it's on a whole new platform/Gen of headlights. The coding parameters must be radically different.

But the headlights are definitely capable and codeable.

I'm surprised that they are coded out. Biden back in Nov. of '21 signed a bill allowing adaptive headlights which include dazzle. Mine is a 22 build so it should of had them, but my build had decode for anti dazzle on it.

Too bad it's not up to Biden… he's just the first of many steps. There's so much red tape to cut before major changes happen to regulations it could be years before we see these technologies on North American roads.

Even though the idea generally has the go-ahead, it's not a given that the regulations will match those in another part of the world. Historically we march to our own drum here, for better or worse, which means we may see some form of advanced lighting allowed but it could still be a severely watered-down version of what is used elsewhere.

Agreed. Tough especially when you've seen and used features in other countries and then here it's 2 steps back.

Does anyone know how I can code out ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHTS on my f10 using BimmerCode. It is a 2012 535 x drive.

I went through a car wash and got the dreaded "adaptive headlight malfunction error".

My lights were hyper blinking and my passenger side halos did not work nor did the adaptive lights when I turn my wheel. However, everything was perfectly fine again after drying up but I am still getting the "adaptive headlight malfunction" error and would just like to code out adaptive headlights so I don't get the error anymore.

Thanks
