So used Bimercode for the first time today. Pretty easy, but limited in things it can do. Biggest for me is getting rid of the legalese notice that pops up EVERY time you start the car, that you either have to click on OK or wait for it to go away. The key is linked to your profile, so if you've agreed to it once, why does BMW insist on annoying you for the life of your car (typically one model cycle, 7 years for me)?! That is so stupid. My Mercedes doesn't do that.

And I changed the one touch turn signal to 5 flashes, and got rid of the seat belt warning (always wear mine w/o thinking). Tomorrow I'll do the anti-dazzle coding.

Are you selecting g20 or g80?

Two questions... Does the MT have ASS, and can it be coded out?

Yes, but you don’t need to code it out. It’s default is off.

You can use either. End result is the same.

Yup, I was able to make it work. Fog makes it clearer to see in pictures, thanks for sharing!

I was wrong. I followed Bimmercode's message saying it wasn't supported, but you can do it with Bimmercode.

Vid shows how to code for no-dazzle. Also goes through all other bimmercode settings.

Thank you!

Though it was done in an M3/M4 with iDrive 7, it works just as well in our cars, I tested it and now have it coded.

Why don't they just release it? LOL maybe they're germans and are waiting for the FULL support, but it works the same as an older F series 5 series I coded before.

Side note, I drove about 60 miles late last night with cars sometimes front and oncoming cars and the Auto High Beams stayed on the entire time. It’s really cool watching the beam dance around the cars.

You were right, of course. It does work. Yay!

Glad you got it! Beating a dead horse, but it’s such a great feature and with it being legal now, I have no idea why they still decode it.

I can't tell you how relieving that is. I hate that "feature" on my G42.

It’s awesome! I saw about 9 deer in my night driving (started around sunset waiting for a dark road I could drive faster than city limits), and the ability to see the forest on the right hand side farther while not blinding oncoming traffic is amazing.
As is illuminating the left-hand side without blinding the car in front! So great

Thanks for the help and making this easy M2siast
I also coded this and confirmed that it works through Bimmercode. Purchased OBDLink CX $80 on Amazon with same day delivery, and purchased the Bimmercode app for $50 on Android ($40 on Apple Store). Totally worth the money seeing the features you get with coding...

-Adjusted right passenger mirror tilt when in reverse to 70%
-Disable warnings when starting the car
-Bowers and Wilkins sound profile
-Thinking of disabling ASD (Active Sound Design = fake engine noises)

The "No-Dazzle" feature is my favorite and really wakes the car up at night. I drove through some dark empty roads and it lit everything up. Then when I got to a highway with some cars, just seeing the headlights constantly adjusting and moving around are amazing. No one got high-beamed, and it even adjusted it for a car on a perpendicular overpass.

Here is another video of what is does (not the same car but works exactly like this)...

According to bmw.ca, this is available:

"Adaptive LED Headlights feature an attractive full LED headlight design. Among other things, they offer headlight range control with automatic adjustment to the driving situation via vertical swivel mechanism and switching on/off of LED segments, and automatic cornering light. Benefits include optimum visibility in the dark that makes driving less tiring, safer driving conditions due to higher visibility around corners, and anti-glare high-beam headlights. In addition to their attractive design, the Adaptive LED Headlights also feature a unique welcome and goodbye lighting sequence."

Trying to clarify if we are talking about the same feature here, or if some extra options can be coded in?

ASD unfortunately cannot be disabled, I don’t believe.

Watch the video our friend posted just above your post. That is a feature only European cars have, and we have to code it to work. I’m not entirely sure what it’s called, since we don’t get it. We call it “anti-dazzle high beams” informally.

What BMW alluded to on the website is that the high beams turn off when approaching other cars, thus not dazzling them.

This feature we code in does NOT turn off high beams, it’s always on, but it doesn’t dazzle other drivers.

Awesome, thank you. Coding this today.

Regarding ASD, M3 owners have been disabling it, as far as I can tell. Whether this works in the M2....

The option is there. But I don’t think it changes the sound… to be confirmed. It might be something with iDrive 8 (and most M3s are iDrive 7). But we’re not 100%.

[dmr]

M2siast So how'd you figure out how to code anti dazzle? It's not like it's straightforward! Wouldn't mind learning how to navigate all the options for myself...

RE: ASD
I use bimmerutility, there's an "easy" option to disable it, but doesn't really sound like it's working. I'll do some more tests, and if successful, maybe I can get a diff from factory options.

Question about anti dazzle, how is it turned on and off? Is it on automatically on with regular high beams or does it come on with auto high beams? Because sometimes oncoming traffic has their high beams on and I need to blind a motherf___er right back.

To enable no-dazzle once coded, both automatic low beams AND automatic high beams needs to be enabled. Once you drive 25-35mph, it will automatically engage. To disable, simple disable the automatic high beams. I don’t believe it will work with the manual high beams but please correct me if I’m wrong.

If you’re asking how people figure out which functions to change for a specific option, the oversimplified answer is that someone with a car that has the feature outputs the full module and compares it to the full readout of a car that doesn’t. There’s a big community of people sharing, testing, confirming results, etc. The common and easy things are in Bimmercode and other things you find out about in a forum thread like this.

Ah, this. I misunderstood his question.

Plus, I didn’t test or figure out the results I got and shared. Those had been shared in the M3 forums before, we just validated it worked in our cars. And I was not the first one as I didn’t believe it would work (as BimmerCode had previously indicated it wasn’t supported).

[dmr]

Pretty sure I coded antidazzle per instructions, didn't seem to have worked. Does it only activate past a certain speed?

Also wondering if VO coding might be necessary (removal of decoding for antidazzle).

As for ASD, it could be my imagination, but it souds a little less intrusive. Not too sure what I could do to compare more accurately than a general impression.
