GFHB on '14 F15
I've been working with dmnc02 on coding our F15 and I have made a video to show the results. I had good weather for the video, so the fog helps to show the shadow box that is created by the GFHB. It is also interesting to note how the system can track more than one vehicle on the road ahead, watch towards the end of the video where the presence of a second car up the road prevents the high beams on the left side from activating due to a curve in the road that would illuminate that other car.

I finally attempted to code these today, never having explored coding before.
I believe I did everything correctly, but on a quick drive this evening I couldn't figure out how to "enable" the lighting. I had the automatic high beams turned on with automatic headlights (the rotating switch to the left of the steering wheel) enabled, but did not detect any attempt to shadow-box. The high beams simply turned on/off. I have a pretty loaded F15 (2015) including HUD, Active Cruise Control and of course LED lights. I followed the "Appendix A" instructions (i.e. for the older 2015 model with older ECUs). I VO coded first (removing the two features as directed), then I coded all the ECUs and then finally I applied the specific lighting ECU coding mods as per the PDF. Am I just stupid and I somehow did not actually turn on the lights the "right way" (whatever that is)? I did not feel brave enough to just randomly drive around with highbeams on... Thanks for any pointers! |

Thanks. I also found some other posts referring to the speed so I coded the min/max as per those threads. I also wondered if my turning on the fog lights when parking was somehow conflicting (Enables fog lights to be on with parking lights BDC_BODY 3068 NSW_EIN_AUF_LDS_STL - got this from the cheat sheet) and so I reverted this change. After this, just got back from a 45 minute drive and now I can clearly see the effect. I didn't drive anywhere particularly rural but I can see the shadow boxing and did not get flashed so believe this is working ok. |

Thanks as always for getting this all figured out. I remember our epic days with the F80. Glad we're over that hump ![]() |

![]() If the X6M has the LHM+TMS ECUs (which should mean a production date before July 1, 2015), the coding in the PDF is the latest. OTOH, if the X6M has the newer FLE ECUs (production date starting July 1, 2015), the corresponding coding is being updated, as mentioned in the thread. The tunnel is now working fine on PlayTookies's F15 with FLEs based on his feedback and the videos I have seen of his car, but we are doing a bit more testing before updating the PDF. If you want, I can send you a PM with the updated coding (and you can help with additional feedback and first-hand comparison to the F80).

Tried the lights last night and they are working similarly to the lights in my F80, so much so that I can't tell any discernible difference. Seems like the settings you sent me work just fine.

I too am in the Chicago area (NW suburbs) and would be interested in getting some coding done. 2016 X5, 12/2015 build. Please PM me if you can help!

My production date is Dec 15. I know realize that while my lights work for oncoming traffic they don't work when I follow. Sounds like there are some more updates coming - is there another thread to watch?

I have been waiting to sort out one last detail before updating the PDF, but PlayTookies, who is the chief tester for the new ECUs (even risking jail for the cause), has been very busy with work in the past few days. I am hoping to post the update this weekend.

PlayTookies had some time last night to confirm the last detail (he has really put a lot of time and effort into this), so below is the revised version of the PDF with the anti-dazzle coding.
A few remarks:

So, as a temporary solution, here is a quick way of coding Step 2 for NGHB on F15s with production date after July 1, 2015.

The only difference between this version and the one I PM'd you earlier this week is that the amber side markers are back on in this version.
