GFHB with Bimmercode?

Has anyone successfully coded GFHB on their LED headlights using Bimmercode?

Several threads have approached this topic but no real, step by step instructions (unless I missed it...).

Been waiting for the option to show up in the app, but not sure it ever will...

Thanks.

If it doesn't you may just need to go with a remote code to get it done. Definitely worth it.

I thought it supposed to be Anti-Dazzle Headlight / Headlamp.

I swear I had no idea it was an acronym for "glare free high beams". It's not like that term is used often enough to be common knowledge.

I coded mine using E-Sys using these instructions and it works great. Really cool feature. Took me a few tries to code it though.

http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/att...1&d=1452268635

It looks like Bimmercode can just turn things on and off. Anti-Dazzle takes a few steps so not sure how they would do it.

Why not just call them 552 Adaptive LED Headlights, (which includes 5AC High-beam assistant) just like BMW does?

There's a separate decoding option for US market on all LED equiped cars that removes the anti-glare functionality - S5APA Decode, anti-glare FLA high-beam assist

So how does that equate to GFHB? Where did the A go? Which is surely the most significant word in the whole description!

I think it is intended to abbreviate Glare Free High Beam.

Most people don't say GFHB, they say "my ex"...because if you found a HB, she'd certainly be down the road faster than an X5M.

I've been looking at this feature for awhile and doesn't look like bimmercode can do it
It's thru Remote Coding or ESYS...

Have you tried in expert mode?

I was able to code VLD through bimmercode in expert mode.

Can you please write instructions how did you remove 8S4 from your FA, then VO Code BDC_Body using Bimmercode? From what I've read this is needed in order for VLD to work correctly.

Do a little research on your own then buddy. You aren’t just going to get spoonfed info just because you asked. The instructions provided would have got you VLD coded.
