I'm still willing to code my LCI F31 with adaptive LEDs for HGHB and give it a try. But no one is even brave enough to give me ALL the coding info. I still don't know if I enabled VLD. All I did was delete VLD coding by VO coding. But I don't see a difference in the beam reach or width no matter what speed I'm travelling. |

People have tried it with both NA headlamps and ECE retrofitted. The reason nothing has been publicly posted is because it did not work. As such, even if we ignore the lack of hardware, incorrect coding would give you a "false" sense of function. |

Afer a discussion with Letmier, it may not even work with ECE headlights due to COP restrictions (basically the same thing stopping it from working in the F10).
I ordered some ECE headlights, but I have to source the turn signal modules first. They are different than the NA ones, and then I'll attempt a retrofit.

To check VLD is incredibly easy. At night and with the car parked facing a flat vertical surface, start the engine. Then turn the head lamp switch from auto to on. Left headlamp should move in 8 degrees and up 1 degree. Quote:

No it's in the U.S. My Mom lives in Charlotte, NC and ordered / picked up her car from a dealer there.

The standards for ADB in the US under FMVSS 108, both new certifications and retroactive activation for vehicles already equipped with the appropriate components, does exist. It's the last step, the addition of this to The Code of Federal Regulations that has yet to be taken. |

How are you enabling the pattern sitting in the garage. Would love to compare to what my coded US F30 is doing.

Hardware Vs Hardware
Top is a US F30LCI coded to enable GFHB and claimed with almost no trepidation in this thread to be working; bottom is an ECE F30LCI with GFHB from the factory. The same test is applied to both cars; any CoP barrier for potential programming or BUS network block is bypassed to trigger the US car. Discuss. |

Just so we all understand how the current coding is reacting on the road, what I sent was a video that shows the beams dropping and splitting in which there is a "tunnel" being generated when they drop. This is what i see splitting a car and the beams never rise up as is seen at the end of the video (and picture posted) until no light sources are present ahead. Re-iterating again, this has always been my complaint in enabling this is that I'm not getting the full high beam potential out of NGHB and I don't know it is possible on a US car. This is exactly why no coding was ever shared publicly. Here's the video of the test for all to see. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B22...ew?usp=sharing

Reserved for preservation if ever needed. -------------------------------------- What should have been visible from your car and what would have been seen if looking at it (the right would be a mirror image of the left) is attached. The test is very simple and specific in what should have been present. There is way more going on and others who have run the same test after applying the same method will agree unanimously that there is definitely some unusual behavior that isn't even related to the missing dynamic shadow. |

If I buy OEM ECE lights from the dealer do I need the order the control boxes with them or can I use the ones from my car? Also once I have the headlights installed will I have to do extensive coding to get them to work?
(I live in Germany with my US spec 2017 340i and can order the required headlights here)

If you have time, there's actually a functioning F30 LCI Adaptive LED Cutaway Model at The Welt. I had pics of it before it was sent there but lost them after a HD died. New ones would be very helpful. |

...either 1) Pairing vertically (but static) shielded Xenon projectors that adjust their tracking on the horizontal plane via projector motors to create a vertical slit to shadow a target (Sail Beam) OR 2) pairs more or less statically oriented (aside from AFS maybe) Xenon Projectors with internal dynamic optical shielding to produce proper shadow panoramics (Multibeam Dynamic Shadowing) and NOT how LED light arrays produce matrix'ed beaming... ...My understanding was that F-Series LED Adaptives use a combination of matrix shadowing (extinguishing the inside lower quad LED chip zones to obscure shadow zones) AND vertical / horizontal splitting via movement but not shutters to support its shadow panoramics Re: Adaptive LED Matrix'ing ... Did this change at all for LCI? - Can someone post a pic of the shutters? On a reflector array they'd be super easy to spot.. Thanks for the clarification! [img]MatrixLED.png[/img] |

Just as an update the AMER Pre-LCI F32 w/ 552 Adaptive LED's worked.
It visually has the same headlights as the F8x and ... but I think lemetier might have already confirmed this here on his "similar hardware" model list (that guy pretty much knows it all when it comes to the hardware side of this!): https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=135 After seeing it in action I actually do think it must have some kind of cutoff shutters too though for some of the positions... Under certain conditions where it wants to create a very aggressive tunnel (kicks in medium to close follow distance, extremely dark road) ... it is almost a different "mode" where the vertical cutoff on either side of the car in front becomes very crisp and aggressive, moreso than the just "middle highs disabled, outer highs pivoted outward" tunnel mode |
