good news, I figured why could not control lights via rheingold. when I put the lights immediately coded FDL LWR_AHL_TYP = ohne. I did and my car lights began to move.
kapkanimd you moving lights as the video?

Yes that is the start up movement, my lights have been working correctly since install except for the autoleveling feature. Only thing I have left to do is figure out why my rear sensor is not working.

Good, your ICM is already setup for running ride sensor (height sensor calibrated by your dealer)

Now you have a problem with power supply of your Front sensor, check your wiring :// i know this is a boring job because ICM is under the armrest.

for begining check the connector on the front sensor, maybe the wire is cut, something like that..

At the begining, i do not change rheingold, and lights were moving at ignition on.

Do you mean my rear sensor?

Oh sorry, yes rear sensor.

Power supply of your rear sensor is correct, but signal is not correct,did you installed properly the sensor ? position of the "control rod" is correct?

although no idea how to install traction is not correct in any case will not be 0 volts.

Characteristic new ride height sensors:

1 signal voltage
2 Characteristic, rear ride height sensor
3 Torque angle in degrees

Just double checked the sensor, everything looks correct, see picture:



I am going to check the corresponding wires at the ICM now. Other than that, I would assume maybe just a bad sensor...

[kapkanimd]

I double checked the ICM wires, and they are all in their correct places... The only other thing I can think of is just changing the sensor to see if that fixes the problem.

Can anyone write a guide on how to calibrate sensors using Rheingold? TIA

What you can do, is to remove sensor and play with it to see if value change: you can monitor value with INPA.

I will send you a picture of my rear sensor, i do not remember the position.

The calibration of the height ride sensor make the high beam assist working all the time ! it is a wonderful feature ! (option 5AC)

[F30EDR]

So, any calibration guide or tips?

operation/ service functions/02 Chassis/ integrated management of chassis/ adjustable ride height.
then press the search string appear "ride height sensor. commissioning" and then click "start" (bottom right corner) and follow the instructions.

Not yet. I just ordered parts a few days ago and are en route.

Thank you very much.


With the excellent guide written by kapkanimd and the recent development (both with or without ride sensor), this retrofit is now complete. This is the only way to go, instead of the very non-OEM look of opening the head lamps and installing LEDs or HID kits that will fail within a short period.

People should realize that the bulk of the work is in removing bumper and replacing headlamps, and that this is a necessary step, regardless of which one you choose. The major difference is that this is full OEM vs. something that will definitely fail (flickering and error message with HID kit, or worse, failed LEDs/LED circuitry due to lack of cooling mechanism).

As someone who did this retrofit, if I had to do it all again, I'd still choose this way. I thought about sending my headlamps so it can be fitted with HID kit and coronas, but I changed my mind and glad that I did.

I visited the BMW dealer. I was told that would work Correction car headlights need to change light control unit.

In regards to the xenon specific switch is it just a straight swap or is there more wiring that has to be changed?
thanks

Hello guys! In some months I would also like to start with this project. I have a F31 316d from 02/2013. Is there anything which is different from this DIY instruction? F31 is a wagon - is the position of the auto leveling sensor different? Does anyone know something about this?

Thanks in advance! ANd thumbs up for this really impressive work!

[adeelfahim]

Anyone in southern california attempt to do this, or know a mechanic who has?

[ji99lypuff]

Has anyone retrofitted a 2014 with nbt with the xenons? It seems that the coding is different from the 2012 and 2013's. Any help with this matter would be much appreciated.
