    Coding Anti-Dazzle and Variable Light Distribution

    Sorry for failing to post feedback/thoughts sooner! I activated the BDC_body module settings above and have seen similar, new lighting effects with auto high beams activated. They're like gradations of high-beam intensity compared to the binary low/high settings of before. That KAFAS camera is...

    Bmw i3 acoustic pedestrian warning failure

    In North American i3 models, the iDrive toggle for activating acoustic pedestrian protection is deactivated by default. You can activate it, though, with BimmerCode. See BimmerCode for BMW and Mini - BMW i3 for details. (I assigned the toggle to one of the programmable memory buttons on my...

    Overhead dome button light

    In North American Tera/Suite Word models, the interior light button, and the two adjacent reading light buttons, are illuminated (as mentioned ;). I'd bet the buttons in Giga World and Mega World are lit up, too, but not in Deka World. Incidentally, that pair of orange beacons between the...

    Overhead dome button light

    Hi, fellow person. The dome button inside my Tera/Suite interior "World" includes an illuminated icon. (The buttons for the reading lights on either side of the dome button also have lit icons.) Why does yours not have them? In North American models, there are subtle lighting upgrades in...

    Rear-Fog Switch Retrofit (U.S. i3s)

    After nine years, it works ... it finally works! Thank you, "noExpertBMW". I promise to use them responsibly. :D Here are the rear-fog settings for the BDC_BODY module that illuminate lights number 7, the proper one: 3068 > NSL_Verbaut Set to: verbaut 3064 > Mapping_Nebelschlussl_L_output Set...

    Coding Anti-Dazzle and Variable Light Distribution

    You might be right. OK, Art, I coded the three lines you posted above and the high beams still work. Will see how things shake out on some silent country roads this evening. More to come.

    Coding Anti-Dazzle and Variable Light Distribution

    Thanks for, uh, shedding some light on this puzzle. I'll edit those three lines of the BDC_body module and post if anything changes. One question: Did you see the headlights pan after your coding, as someone wrote at the bottom of that 2addicts post? On my 2020 with the Adaptive headlights...

    CarPlay option not appearing

    In the U.S., Apply CarPlay is a standard option for the 2020 model year. You can confirm yours has it by entering the VIN at mdecoder.com (or a similar website), confirming it's installed. On my 2020, the factory code S6CP "Apple CarPlay Preparation" is listed. I really like it. Then, consider...

    Coding Anti-Dazzle and Variable Light Distribution

    The lighting variations, by technology, packages, software, and laws by market, feel as complicated as tax law. I would guess the lighting team at BMW is vast! I think the answer to your question has to do with the adaptive, or “cornering” headlights, which became available in the North...

    Gig worker looking for his futuristic hatchback

    What's your average speed for a delivery workday? If it's under 40 mph, energy consumption would likely be about >5 mi/kWh in moderate weather (70º F to 80ºF is an optimum air temperature for the i3's traction battery). On 2019+ models, the 42 kWh battery has an available capacity of about 39...

    Gig worker looking for his futuristic hatchback

    It's not Scandinavia, but California currently has among the highest concentrations of DC fast chargers in the contiguous United States. See plugshare.com for more details. (The i3 uses a CCS charging connector, and its maximum rate is 50 kW.) I'm driving my BEV about 700 miles out and back...

    Coding Anti-Dazzle and Variable Light Distribution

    I picked up a 2020 about a month ago with High Beam Assist. Activating this dormant headlight feature only available in 2019+ i3 models is on the list! For starters, it seems as if you have to remove 5AP and 8S4 from the Vehicle Order (VO) coding, which requires E-sys software. Apparently, they...
