Looks interesting! If I hadn't already licensed BimmerCode and BimmerLink, I might be more interested in paying a $98 license fee because it seems to provide more functionality, apparently including VO coding. However, some of its functionality seems to require an E-Sys installation which I don't have and aren't thrilled to have to deal with. I'll look at reviews and try to understand what it could do without E-Sys.

It looks like you can change the VO without Esys, but if you do want to do Esys it will do validations and calculations the way other launchers did in the past. Heck, looks like you can even change the VO from their iPhone app.
I just re-read this. I too had the “BMW Adaptive” inside the housing. The thing was I ordered in 2014 the ‘adaptive’ LEDs as I already had that in my F10 and they were amazing. Imagine how annoyed I was to find they were just self levelling. There was no adaptation and no refund. Later they changed the words in the marketing blurb. They also removed the plastic wording in the headlamp in the 94Ah later. I had to wait until 2022 for the function to arrive in the EU/UK. Pity. Wasted 8 years.
I think enhanced Bluetooth allows 2 phones to connect?
I'm hoping this works after the other settings are made.
I think it was in the video but the i3 headlights are more segmented than matrix. What you're looking for is for the segments of the high beam to turn on and off. So far what you've described is what I see in my car that just has the simple coding done but I know for a face that all my car is doing is turning off one high beam entirely while the other stays on. It's rather difficult to tell the car is doing that from inside the car. The best suggestion I have is to have someone you know drive in front of you and call you so they can describe what the lights are up to. My car has been described as "winking" by multiple people.
I don't understand VO coding. I imagined that VO coding is applied automatically during the manufacturing process to activate or deactivate certain features. I had hoped that it was like high-level coding that could make several lower level coding changes to several modules simultaneously. If that were true, it wouldn't be necessary to make other low-level coding changes manually, so that shows how little I understand.
This doesn't sound as though it is working correctly. On my car - which had adaptive lights from the factory - each of the segments is clearly either on or off. I've never seen any evidence during 18 months ownership of segments dimming. If I'm following a car (at high enough speed) along a dark road then the outermost segments that illuminate the verge on either side of the road will be on, and all other high beam segments will be off.
Sorry, I could have used better wording. I did not mean to imply that any LED segments were dimming, but that some were turning on and off which does indeed make the overall light output brighter or dimmer. As you mention, the blue high beam indicator is staying on for me while I am simultaneously experiencing a varying amount of light output. But I did not appear to see the lights blocking out sections around cars traveling around or in front of me.
