Is there anyway to code HBA (High Beam Assistant) to be on by default?

Marky Mark · 12-07-2017, 12:02 AM

Like the title says, Is there anyway to code HBA (High Beam Assistant) to be on by default?

I find it really annoying that I have to push the button on the signal light stem every time I drive at night.

The must be a way... After all, I was able to code the car to start up in SPORT MODE every time I start the car, so I do not see why I cannot do the same for the High Beam Assistant.

I later plan to code the Anti-Dazzle Head Lights (like the way it comes from the factory on Euro cars).

Anyone figure this out yet?

Thanks!

I tried but it didn't work for me. I had coded it on F01 and it was excellent.

Only vehicles with FRM (eg, F010 or F025) can be coded for Auto-HBA.

My AHBA was acting weird the other night. Turning on when behind another car. Turning on on a major road full of illumination. Not like it normally does.

That's one of the control module.

An ECU module your car does not have. As such, Auto-HBA not possible.

Can you share how you managed to start the car in Sport mode?

Any vehicle with BDC_Body, so yes. Number scheme is different though.

FRM is the Footwell or more commonly used term Footrest module (FRM), is in used in every BMW, it controls your headlight and inteiror light and sometimes windows controls and other controls, in the BMW E series (E70 E66 E90 ect) its common for those modules to fry when coding due to mfg defect, however this problem has been rectified in the F and G series.

I have never heard it called footrest module.

You only find it in F01/F010/F025 F-series. It is not found in others or G-series.

Just to clarify, is it codable on the f85? Which lines?
