‘18 M3/M4 with adaptive LED succesful antidazzle coding?

[MarbleNY]

We I am trying to learn whether or not I can code the anti dazzle feature on my 2018 M4 with adaptive LED. When I search my VIN it says then feature has been decoded. So I like to think the can be enabled. But I just read a post conflicting my logic. Thank you.

When search my vin it says: “S5APA, Decode, anti-glare FLA high-beam assist“

Yes, and it's amazing. Anti-dazzle is my most favorite feature/mod that I've done. I'd give up the tune before I gave that feature up.

But did it work on an LCI model?

Some people in that thread have said they've gotten theirs working, but even after using the same cheat codes in E-sys, it still doesn't work for others (including me). There also seems to be a lack of positive confirmation on the performance, since the absence of them being flashed isn't the best indicator of success. I'd love to see a video from someone with a 2018 with their GFHBs working.

For those successful, do you know your production date?

[dongerkim]

I am also interested. I gave it a try and it failed. I was able to code it in successfully on my MY16. I remember it took me awhile to figure out, so I am not sure if I am doing it correctly or not. Would be nice to know if there was a difference.

Planning on coding it tonight and trying it out tomorrow - I have optimal conditions to test it. Dark mountain roads, frequent fog, and one of the best dash cams available.

Great! Excited to see your results!

Very curious to see how it looks from the perspective of oncoming traffic. When mine was coded it looked OK in the car, but the right headlight was completely wrong when viewed by other drivers.

It's a shame that this can't be properly figured out the way it was on the 16s.

It worked perfectly (of course people were actually willing to share ALL of the value differences to help others.) Now you need to resort to cheat codes from various authors and none of them are confirmed to work the way they are intended to in ECE region coding...

My car is LCI 1.0 ...2016.

[MarbleNY]

Bump. anyone else???

It was easier on the pre LCI 4er/M3 simply because the only physical differences between US and EU headlights was a sticker and the outer lens with the permanent DOT markings. Internally, they were exactly the same. On the programming/encoding side, all one had to do was change the US values to the equivalent ECE values at the same werte position.

With LCI, there are physical differences to the headlight internally between the markets and the werte positions/channels are not in the same order and/or able to accept the same values.

The incorporated Cheat Sheets are not some "Shady BS". It's done to make it easier overall and try to curtail the sharp rise in coding changes made to things that do not have the necessary physical hardware installed.

I have a 2017 ZCP that is having issues coding this in (getting it done through a well known person on these forums). Everything else seems to be ok it's just this anti dazzle feature.

What kinds of issues? Do you expect to be able to get it working?

You're right, edited.

From what you're saying is it essentially impossible to get them working 100% then?

It is simply just not working. Gonna try coding again on Tuesday. I previously coded my car with BimmerCode so we are thinking it's causing interference with coding this time around. Plan is to wipe clear my BimmerCode stuff and start from scratch to get things working.

I'm not saying it's impossible; simply stating it's not a matter of simply changing the values in the same positions on a US car to those from an actual or calculated UN/ECE Spec equivalent.

Full AFS (VLD) and ADB (GFHB) is now legal in Canada and if there is no hardware change, it's likely to be enabled with the next engineering block update (July) and those values would be applicable.

I see, thanks for the info

Had antidazzle and all other coding done by Alex@Alpine. Car is LCI 2.0 8/17 build. Works perfectly.
