lol was wondering what sort of movie that was for a moment

Nicely done, but possibly a big distraction. Need to somehow get the HUD to project the movie onto the windscreen so you can also keep your eyes on the road.

I guess you could do the same with the rear view camera as well.

It is actually a funny music video. I'm playing it off a USB stick. The song is Rosana by Wax.
I think you can turn off the speed lock for the rear camera. I'm not sure you can mod the HUD.

Just ordered a 2015 x3 f25 with full active LED headlights and high beam assist.

Will this give me the ability to code european anti dazzle for the lights, ie will I get the good camera, or do I also need to order speed limit info or something else to get KAFAS2?

Anyone know? I can adjust the build for the next few weeks.

Thanks any assistance is appreciated!

KAFAS2 is not needed. It works with FLA Camera for High-beam Assistant too.

Good to hear, funny question, does it work as well as it would with KAFAS2 ?

I want to code city lights and anti dazzle. I do a lot of night driving on country roads and it would seem ideal!

I am not aware of any functional differences with FLA or KAFAS cameras with regard to Variable Light Distribution or Glare Free High Beams.

That is good to hear, so I will leave it be and just try for the coding.

Can anyone recommend a GTA Toronto coder. I would prefer an in person job.

Thanks!

That's exactly why. It's dirt cheap, and $350 on a $40k plus car is nothing.

Sorry, US versus Canadian pricing is a bit of a sore spot.... Although with our CDN dollar dropping, things are starting to even out. When we were at par, it was a bit vexing to see the differential. And don't get me started on taxes.....

Back on topic,

Thanks for your help and input!

There are a few guys on Kijiji Toronto that I looked into but they charge over $200.

Just keep in mind that you may need to re-code your vehicle after taking it in for service at the BMW dealership. That's why I ordered a cable online (less than $10) and followed the instructions provided by shawnsheridan and did it myself.

Ok, my cable arrived, software installed on laptop and I made a successful connection to my car - and now what

Where to go/read/click onfrom there? I completed all steps from included great installation guide, but it seems I am missing the part on where to go next. Is there another doc somewhere which explains read/backup/coding process.
