Recode Anti-Dazzle High Beams?
So I see that 5AP(Decoding for no-dazzle hgh bm) and 8S4(Variable light decoding) are on my order sheet. As I understand it, these “options” disable the intelligent headlight tech where the high beam is split for cars in front of you and oncoming traffic.
Will some kind hearted soul provide a rundown for a coding newbie on how to recode the anti-dazzle feature on an X3? |

In some cases, it's all in software, in others, it can also require additional equipment (maybe a motor or control box). So, it will be interesting to see if it can be done with just s/w.
In either case, at least for now, since it hasn't been approved by the DOT, while unlikely, it could create problems for you if it were implemented. Personally, I think it is really neat tech, and if I had laser based headlights or a system that could support the feature, I'd want their full functionality, too. |

Others were able to do it for the 3 series, but I am not sure if the coding would be the same for the X3.

if doesn't really matter if you have LED or HID. you will at least have variable distribution lighting. By having the auto high beam option, you just VDL and Anti-dazzle.

I know this is a thread from 3 years ago - But can this be done on a 2018 X3?
I have 5AC Autom. High-beam Headlights Control and 5AP Decoding For No-Dazzle high Beam As. Now, if on delivery I ask the dealer to turn this feature on... How much, do I dare ask, would they charge? LOL |
