It also has S5APA which is decoding of the anti-glare high beam assist (high beam assist is active). That should be possible to code.

No idea what 8TR does. But, yes, NGHB can be coded on G001.

Does anyone know if Anti-Dazzle can be programmed?

Yes and Launcher Pro. Or remotely, but still need cable and computer.

Isn’t anti dazzle a standard feature of the headlights?
Is that an option in North America?

Since the 60s, before technology was available, it was not an option in north america.

I'm open to recommendations for having someone code a few things. Would like to know what's available. Anti dazzle I've had on my last couple cars so that's an obv...

So with the headlight switch in AUTO mode the coding would give you the anti dazzle, but no longer the auto dimming feature?

That and silencing the annoying double horn honk while remote locking with the motor running would be my two prime coding desires.

Auto-high beams work with additional functionality (ie NGHB).

Did you buy Bimmercode?

voyagergab · 01-23-2018, 10:02 PM

The OBD to Ethernet cable from amazon came in today. As well as the escort hardwire cable.
I'm out of town this week so the coding will have to wait till next week unfortunately

I just saw a new 7 series with its trunk open in downtown Colorado Springs today.

Could i get a list of Options please? I purchased vgate and bimmercode but dont currently see a way of setting auto start stop to Off. Interested in that and enhanced bluetooth. I was able to deactivate the initial legal popup.

It is limited to trunk, ASD, and HU, for now, for G-series. E-sys can do much more. PM Sent
