Thankyou for all the hard work!

Im not sure what this is referencing, i do have the LED's and have to manually dim the high beams as they do not switch from hi to low soon enough. Is this the same issue?

Apologize for my ignorance in advance.

What do you mean by not soon enough?

The camera has to see the car headlights and taillights before the system will dip the highbeams. So there will be a half second delay. Depending on your driving position and speed, you might see it before the camera does. Another example is if you see lights coming up before the crest of a hill or around a corner, you may manually dip your lights, but the computer will not until the physical headlights are in view.

Finally if you're driving on a three-four lane highway on each side, it's not ideal for this system. Too many cars.

There are times that a vehicle is oncoming and my lights do not dip.

Hi guys, how to find out if I can code that in to my 2018 x5?

If you have 552 LED lights, then you can code it.

I have 522A Xenon Lights
524A Adaptive Headlights

I guess won't work

Correct. You are out of luck.

Any changes to the coding for 2018 F15 or do the Jan 2016 PDF instructions still work?

I had NGHB working on my 2018, but after a recent dealer software update I have begun to have issues with the drivers side headlight not working properly. I just recoded everything again to make sure I didn't miss anything when I did redid it after the update, but I haven't driven it again to confirm.

After the dealer update, I thought I recoded everything, but the passenger headlight was the only one functioning correctly. The headlights stopped creating the tunnel too, but that could have also been caused by the drivers side light not functioning correctly. I hope I am able to get it working again though because it is about the only thing that makes the LED headlights worth the cost.

On my 2015 after a recent dealer reprogram. It took me six tries to get them to work. Three of the times my lights didn’t even work anymore.

It's hit or miss that my auto hb just turn off altogether or actually function properly.

my tunnel does not work correctly((

So my headlights seems to be working for the most part, but when I was checking the coding today I noticed a few parameters are off. I tried to code them to what they should be manually and using the cheat code, but the module seems to reject them even after it says no errors after the coding. Everytime I read the Coding Data after FDL coding, it has reverted back to the previous values. Any thoughts about what's going on?

Attached are the values that keep reverting...

Let the car sleep after coding.

No risk in VO coding multiple times.

Hey, after reading the seemingly endless posts about this coding I'm still fuzzy on the most basic question. Do we need to press the Auto button (auto high beam) in order to enable the Anti Dazzle as well? I got the impression that it wasn't needed but it seems like we do.

Yep, this needs to be activated, at least in mine it does.
It’s all tied together.

Anti dazzle is only a function of the high beams so the high beams on = anti dazzle on.

That makes me sad. I was hoping to be able to set it and forget it. First world problems I guess

You can set it and forget it if you turn on auto high beam

But you have to do that every time you get in the car though right? Or is there a way to program them to default to on?

You have to do it every time.
