I didn't realize how well executed this was until after I ordered. I've spent some time looking into the details to see if I can "somewhat" easily retrofit it in my '13 335i.
On cars with lane departure, HBA is achieved with the KAFAS camera and KAFAS controller. For non-lane departure cars, with 5AC HBA as a standalone option, there's a unique rear view mirror which houses BOTH the FLA camera AND FLA controller. My thinking is that it may be as simple as a mirror swap and some coding to enable this. The fact that it's such a cheap standalone option seems to support this theory. Has anyone else looked into this or run across any switches while coding their car? I should probably start a new thread... |

These threads are brilliant...and dangerous. I'd have never considered HBA but having read this I would have probably opted for it (and the ACC - other thread). Very impressed with it - i just thought it turned off main beam when it detected cars in front, then back on. But it's more than that. Dealers are really cr&p - they could sell a load more options but don't explain all this!
Pleased I didn't read this forum before ordering; my car would've been another £10k! |

No they don't, not not US-spec anyway. US-spec is the traditional discreet type which switches it either on or off (both lamps simultaneously), if u want the variable version u have to buy from Canada.

I wonder why the US doesn't have this feature and when they're going to add it.

Well, I found out that I unbeknownst actually had this function packaged in my vehicles and I officially LOVE this feature!!! I live in the city and tried this out to some degree, the lights turn in the direction you are driving, they do adjust for ascents and declines but with so many cars, I couldn't tell how it worked with oncoming traffic. So, I've found some more videos to illustrate this great feature (thanks to OP SomeRandomer123 to point this out). Oncoming Traffic Demonstrated Following Traffic Demonstrated Animated Adaptive Headlights (from F10 but should work the same way) Enjoy. |
