LED headlights

TheRealOrosie · 09-07-2018, 08:27 AM

Do our headlights automatically control the high beams? If so, I can't figure out how to enable it.

Hit the little "A" button on the end of the left stalk. The high beams will turn on automatically once you get above 45mph, and turn on and off automatically as you encounter other cars.

Anti dazzle is even better. In Europe it's standard but US like always behind

anti dazzle can be coded. it's worth doing, FYI

Do you know of a good source for this? Haven't been able to track down a way to get it coded.

AJRDU- Bimmer Performance Center does some coding.

How-to guides are not posted, but many coders, including I, offer.

Is the hardware cable the same as for the F10? I still have that one laying around.

Same ENET cable and E-sys software for Fxx/Ixx/Gxx-series.

Anti-dazzle is a really cool feature which I do have coded in...but be warned!! Some people get truly pissed when they see your bright lights on non stop. (Especially if I'm following them using auto cruise control)

The system is actually quite clever about directing the beams properly but that does not stop idiots from road raging over it. Sad to say but it's a real a problem. I would use it anyway (and do) but my advice is to be mindful of this issue and just flick them off when you sense that it's making other driver's uncomfortable.

Yes, I have done it on all mine previous cars and I love it. Will have this one done by Almaretto :-)

I have had multiple cars with the hardware (Audi and Porsche) but never a way to get it activated. As soon as my cable arrives i'm going to have it coded. I have to say, though, that I thought it would (by definition) keep people from being pissed as they shouldn't be in the high beam cone.
