Steering Wheel Vibration - Coding Values

I have the Active Security Pack (Lane Detection/ Lane Change Warning), whereby the steering wheel vibrates if you unintentionally veer across lanes or if there are vehicles in the blind spot.

I have this on my F10 535 as well, and the steering vibration can be felt quite easily; but in the M4 the vibration effect is quite weak. Probably due to the thicker steering wheel and heavier setup.

I am aware that the values can be coded in KAFAS2; anyone has any idea as to what the 8 values mean?

The default values are as below:
KAFAS2> 3040 TLC_ACTUATOR_PARAM > VIBRATION_VALUE
The defaults are 06, 07, 08, 08, 09, 09, 0A, 0B

Any suggestions to make the vibration stronger? Or better still, if anyone knows what the values represent. Delays between vibrations, vibration strength, ???

These may help.

I have mine disabled, but I used to only get vibration when changing lanes without signal and not every time someone is in blindspot.

Thanks... I'll try these values.

... but do you have any knowledge about what these values mean?

I think I have seen it somewhere, but do not recall. Sorry.

The original values were 04, 05, 05, 06, 07, 08, 08, 09
I changed these to 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18, 19... as suggested and also as found on F10 forums.

But it seems to have made little difference (I can't really tell).

I think unless we understand what the values mean, it will be difficult to get a value that significantly increases the vibration strength.
