Corner lighting using foglights in the X5?

Good day all
Is it possible to code corner lighting using fog lights in the F15/16 much like what is possible in the F3x 3 series. If so what is the coding?

I have a X5 with Xenons and LED fog lights but with no adaptive lighting.
Thanks

ncd file request to assist in coding cornering lamps

I have managed to source a US spec X5 Owner's manual and it states that fog lights are used as cornering lights on some models.

Would appreciate if some US X5 owners that have this function working and have access to E Sys could send me a copy of their main BCM module so I could do a comparison of their coding against mine using the Tokenmaster's software. PM me for my email contact details. Thanks

Yup, my 2014 X5 F15 uses the fogs for cornering (which I find not to my taste). Sorry though, I don't have E Sys...if you need something out of Bimmercode I do have that...not sure if it shows what you're looking for though. I'm actually planning to try to disable mine...just haven't looked at the advanced mode for it yet on Bimmercode.

Thank you for your response does Bimmercode have the option to enable them? If so are you able to see the individual instructions in the advanced mode?
Based on the F30 coding I expect there should be 6 lines of code which I have seen in the X5 BCM module. I will post them on the forum when I get home tonight

I'll check it out tonight when the kids go to bed and let you know what I find. If you have any specifics inside the BCM that you're looking for, I'll open 'em up and take pictures/screenshots for you.

Based on the F30 FEM module coding I extracted and modified the following 4 lines of coding out of my BDC_BODY module. This is what I think activates fog lights as corner lighting.

Using the same lines of coding plus 2 others I successfully managed to activate them in my old 2012 F30 320d. My concern is I now have LED fog lights and the coding my differ.
The left values are what is coded at present and the right is what I think it should be for corner lighting to work with both the steering angle sensor, indicators and when reverse gear is engaged.

MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_OUTPUT Left: off = 00 Right: NSW l = 0B
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_OUTPUT Left: off = 00 Right: NSW r = 0C
C_BLC_ENA Left: F015_disable = 00 Right: F015_enable = 01
C_CLC_ENA Left: F015_disable = 00 Right: F015_enable = 01

Success at last!

After adding SA524 into the X5's FA and VO coding the BDC module and getting a multitude of errors which I was expecting.

I then used Tokenmaster's excellent NCD/CAFD tool to systematically isolate and reverse the individual codes for the adaptive headlamps which I don't have and leave the 4 coding lines in the above post that activated the cornering function in the fog lamp. It thankfully resulted also in all the errors disappearing as well
