I want to double check my coding and the latest version of the GFHB document I could find for the F8x is from Sept 12, 2015 which is linked in your post from Dec 12, 2015.

Is this the latest information available?

There have been no updates, but dmnc02 would change out PDF if there were.

Only changes would naturally be applied as you have newer software.

How do I get the cheat codes to work? None of them show up for me? I'm in 2.7.1.135.

You need to select authors. Then, it is just like video.

This is amazing and i dont know how i missed it. One question, is this only for F series or can i use it to code my E46 and E70 too?

hey Almaretto, would you mind taking a peek at the sticky thread for Coding it forward? I have a question and was wondering if you can assist. thanks in advance!

I know this is old but wondering the process to get the XML in lieu of right click, save target as?

Pretty much.

I have a 2014 f20 with the lights package (Xenons).

I'm trying to code this HBA but cant get it to work. Can anyone guide me. The is no 5AP to remove. Do I need to add 5AC? Also, there is no kafas.

Any help with the steps would be appreciated

If car does not have turn signal stalk with a button, then cannot code.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, I am looking to code anti-dazzle / anti-glare.

I have a 2017 F30 LCI with LED headlights and high beam assist so I have KAFAS2, but the car doesn't have the full adaptive headlights. Is it possible to code AD/AG?

And the same question regarding VLD?

Will not work on an LCI that did not come with feature from factory.

Before following the procedure below, make sure that (1) you have E-Sys Launcher v2.4.3 (or newer) and (2) you know how to modify your FA/VO and VO code. If needed, you can learn the latter by reading the attached PDF or by watching this video (or, even better, by reading the PDF while watching the video ). Also, watch TokenMaster's video in post #1, which illustrates the technique used in Steps 2 and 3 below.

BTW, VO stands for Vehicle Order (it specifies the alphanumeric codes for each option installed on your car) and FA stands for FahrzeugAuftrag (Vehicle order in German). VO coding an ECU resets all the coded values in that ECU to the default values for the specified VO/FA configuration.

The procedure below will result in exactly the same coding as the "manual" procedure outlined in this PDF, but is faster and more error proof.


STEP 1:

Remove 5AP and 8S4 from the FA/VO and then VO code FEM_BODY, FLA or KAFAS (whichever one you see in your SVT), both LHM and both TMS (5AP and 8S4 are the "option" codes that disable Variable Light Distribution and No Glare High Beam on North American cars).


STEP 2:

Right-click on LHM [43] in the SVT tree and select "Read Coding Data". Then right-click on the CAFD in the folder that appears under the ECU and select "Edit FDL". This will move to the FDL Editor screen (see screenshot). Make sure that the checkbox for "Auto Fetch Codes" in the lower right corner is enabled. Select the checkbox for "No-Glare High Beam Assistant (Step 2: driver side)", click "Apply", click "OK" in the window that appears asking for confirmation and wait for the message stating that the coding has been successfully applied. Then save the edited CAFD by clicking the diskette icon in the menu bar and go back to the Coding window by clicking the left green arrow in the menu bar. Finally, select the CAFD file you just edited and click "Code FDL".


Now right-click on LHM [44] in the SVT tree and repeat the above procedure: the relevant checkbox will read "No-Glare High Beam Assistant (Step 2: passenger side)".


STEP 3:

Right-click on FEM_BODY in the SVT tree and select "Read Coding Data". Then right-click on the CAFD in the folder that appears under the ECU and select "Edit FDL". Select the checkbox for "No-Glare High Beam Assistant (Step 3)", click "Apply", click "OK" in the window that appears asking for confirmation and wait for the message stating that the coding has been successfully applied. Then save the edited CAFD by clicking the diskette icon in the menu bar and go back to the Coding window by clicking the left green arrow in the menu bar. Finally, select the CAFD file you just edited and click "Code FDL".


All done: disconnect and enjoy this great feature.

Sorry to drag up and old post / thread.

But I have an ECE F82 with 522 (Xenon headlights), 524 (Adaptive Headlights) and 5AC (High Beam Assist).

There is no 5AP or 8S4 on my car.

So what would be the correct coding procedure for me to enable Variable Light Distribution and No Glare High Beam on my ECE F82 ?

Xenons are not capable of NGHB.

Ok what about the VLD though ?

what... what?

no glare high beam is the 'split beam' (where full high beam is kept, and the headlight split round a car, or dip just one and keep the other on high) yes?

For cars with supported high beams (LED only, and up to certain 2018 build dates), there are 4 "lamps" that function as high and low beams; 2 on the driver side and 2 on the passenger side. When NGHB kicks in when following another car or with oncoming traffic, the inner high beams switch to low and the outer high beams swivel outward. As an oncoming car gets close to entering the driver side high beam cone (swiveled to the outside), that high beam switches to low; the passenger beam stays on high. After the oncoming car passes, the left outer beam switches back to high. Once traffic ahead clears, both outer beams swivel inward and the inner beams switch to high.
