HUD Lane Departure

Tire Pressure and Temperature on Vehicle Status
Enable other playable video format via USB
Handles on while reversing



Question:
1)Rain Light Sensor Reduced Sensitivity (I needed exact opposite on E70, it wasn't sensitive at all, so is it too sensitive in F15?)
2)Dimming Side View Mirrors (Why isn't this standard!?)
3)Close Window via Comfort Access (This was standard with Comfort Access on E70, isn't it on F15? Keep holding handle to roll windows up)
4)DRL Taillamp (Which light turns on with this option? I don't want to reduce my brake lights)
5)LED Corana Ring Brightness (Does this make them even brighter?)
6)Is it possible to disable the front amber LED running lamps? They are just three tiny LEDs but I wonder if we can find the code to just turn them off? I think both Optional LED Lighting and Standard Bi-Xenon packages use the same 3 LEDs.
1) The sensors work perfectly fine on the F15 - they work as they should without being too sensitive from what I have seen/tested on mine, so this code really isn't needed.

2) I don't really know about this one because my front windows are tinted so it doesn't bother me nor do I notice if they tint or not. However, here is the code:
Auto Dimming Mirrors BDC_Body > SPIEGEL_ELEKTROCHRO > nicht_aktiv to turn off autodim mirror or aktiv to enable mirror

3) From what I know, this has to be coded. I know where all the coding is and what the timing delays are for each one as well. It's all related to the KOMFORT coding.

4) This is a very cool feature that I have enabled. This does not affect your brake light. When you brake, the whole rear light lights up at 100% brightness so it's clearly distinguishable. If you like, I can take a picture of the brake light tomorrow, but here is what it looks like enabled. Note only two LED strips are on during the Day at all times when you have your front DRLs on.



5) LED Corona ring brightness only works if you have LED Lighting Package. Essentially, when you have your headlights on, the LED HALOS reduce their brightness. During the day time, both LED and Bi-Xenon packages have the HALOS at 100% full brightness. So, this feature enables the LED lighting package X5s to have the same 100% full brightness as they have during the day. I coded it but it doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect on mine since I have Bi-Xenons.

Here's a comparison:

DRL 100% HALO brightness:



DRL brightness (I don't remember the percentage - I think it's 25-40%) with Headlights on:



6) If you are referring to the Amber corner lights above the amber turn signals in Bi-Xenons and in the same location for the LED lights, I think there is a way to code them off. I don't know where it is located though. I just found the code in the 1 series thread. It was in NFRM for 1 series, so that's BDC_Body for us?:

SIDEMARKER_US_MIT_FRA_V (Disables side marker/signal light when headlights are on. Change the value to "nicht_aktiv". Module value might be longer than SIDEMARKER_US. Here are some examples: SIDEMARKER_US_NFRM, SIDEMARKER_US_NF, or SIDEMARKER_US_MIT_FRA_V. On some cars disabling this one value is enough to turn off everything and making the changes below will also disable your angel eyes, so check after making this one change and only continue if you find your side markers are still on.) - @shawnsheridan or @skalberti...do you guys know where this is located and if it works? Thanks.
