BMW Anti-Dazzle Headlights Coding Tutorial with E-Sys

BMW’s Adaptive LED and Laser headlights are renowned for their advanced lighting capabilities, including the Anti-Dazzle High Beam feature. This technology allows for continuous high-beam usage without blinding oncoming traffic by dynamically adjusting the light distribution. However, due to regional regulations, this feature is often disabled by default in certain markets, such as North America. Fortunately, with the right tools and knowledge, you can enable this feature using BMW’s E-Sys software.

Understanding BMW Anti-Dazzle Headlights

The Anti-Dazzle High Beam, also known as Glare-Free High Beam (GFHB), is a feature that allows drivers to keep their high beams on continuously without causing glare to oncoming vehicles. The system uses sensors to detect other vehicles and adjusts the light distribution accordingly, creating shadows around other road users while maintaining high-beam illumination in other areas.

In some regions, this feature is disabled due to regulatory constraints. However, the hardware remains capable, and with proper coding, the feature can be activated.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the coding process, ensure you have the following:

• E-Sys Software: BMW’s official coding software.

• PSdZData Files: These are necessary data files that correspond to your vehicle’s model and software version.

• ENET Cable: An Ethernet to OBD-II cable used to connect your vehicle to your computer.

• Windows Laptop: Ensure it’s charged and has sufficient storage.

• Basic Understanding of E-Sys: Familiarity with the software’s interface and functions.

Step-by-Step Coding Guide

Step 1: Connect to the Vehicle

1. Connect the ENET cable to your vehicle’s OBD-II port and your laptop.

2. Launch the E-Sys software.

3. Establish a connection by selecting your vehicle’s chassis and clicking “Connect.”

Step 2: Read Vehicle Order (VO)

1. Navigate to the “Expert Mode” tab.

2. Select “Coding” and then “Read FA” (Vehicle Order).

3. Save the FA to your computer for backup purposes

Step 3: Modify Vehicle Order

1. In the FA tree, locate the “SALAPA” element.

2. Right-click and choose “Edit.”

3. Remove the following codes if present:

   • 5AP: Decoding of Anti-Dazzle High Beam.

   • 8S4: Decoding of Variable Light Distribution.

4. Click “Apply Changes” to save the modifications

Step 4: Calculate and Save FP

1. Right-click on the FA and select “Calculate FP.”

2. Save the modified FA and FP to your computer.

Step 5: Write FA to the Vehicle

1. In the “VCM” module, load the modified FA file.

2. Right-click on “Vehicle Order” and select “Write FA.”

3. Confirm the operation when prompted.

Step 6: Code Relevant ECUs

1. Navigate back to the “Coding” section.

2. Read the SVT (ECU list) by selecting “Read ECU.”

3. Identify and select the following ECUs:

   • FEM_BODY or BDC_BODY

   • KAFAS (if present)

   • FRM (Footwell Module)

4. Right-click on each and select “Code.”

Step 7: Verify Activation

1. Restart your vehicle.

2. Navigate to the lighting settings in your iDrive system.

3. Ensure that the Anti-Dazzle High Beam option is available and activated.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

• Feature Not Available: Ensure your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive LED or Laser headlights.

• Coding Errors: Double-check that you’ve removed the correct SALAPA elements and coded all relevant ECUs.

• Software Compatibility: Ensure that your E-Sys version and PSdZData files are compatible with your vehicle’s model and software version.
