"Path" Lighting not working after coding

jayt91 · 04-22-2018, 12:30 AM

Hey everyone,

I just did some basic coding with bimmercode on my 2018 lci 430i gc.
It seems like the front and rear LEDs shut off completely as soon as I open the door (after shutting off the engine). Normally the car would stay lit up for a bit after I exit. I tried restoring the original settings but it didn't work. Lights are set to automatic and the welcome lights work fine. Has anyone encountered this issue before or have any suggestions?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Is there any way to code this to automatically come on rather than manually doing it every time?

KeyFob can enable welcome home lights for some chassis. I would have to check guides if F3x is one of them.

I think BMW changed software because it used to stay on automatically.

Not sure of any coding to change behavior back.

Looks like only way to do it is to turn the car off completely and then pull the headlight high beam switch. So press the start stop button twice to turn off engine and turn off everything. You can turn the radio or I drive back on by pressing the stereo power button if you want. When you open the door pull the high beam lever and it will turn on the headlights for a few seconds. Locking the car will shut of radio and I drive. Not sure about coding if you can make it automatic.

Thanks, sounds like it would be too complicated. Oh well...Hopefully future models give the option to stay on automatically.
