Anyone knows if anti dazzle coding requires FDL coding or just VO coding?
05-06-2022
Thank you for the link TB. Boy, that doesn't look like something I would want to try.

Shawn said that bimmerutility automatically downloads Esys and pairing bimmerutility with psdzdata would enable VO and FDL coding thus removing the need for esys separately to VO code. Anyone tried bimmerutility with psdzdata to do both- VO and FDL?

Requires both.

Bimmer Utility allows you to read and modify FDL's. But, you still need to install and use E-sys to apply changes to the vehicle.

Is anti dazzle an option on BimmerUtility for G05’s?

Yes it is. I have it all coded on mine but have not tested at night yet.

Has anyone been to code this correctly on a 2019 X5 (I have a Canadian Excellence Package)?
I have been unsuccessful on a couple of attempts. The high beam indicator (blue light) shows that it is on and the lights move with oncoming traffic but as soon as it detects a car approaching from far away it turns off the high beams (but continues to tunnel the low beams for the approaching car).

Any instruction doing this on BimmerCode??

It is not possible to fully implement anti-dazzle on Bimmercode. There are some faux implementations around that will get you close.

I’d still give it a go if I could do 95% but if it’s a small thing I’d be missing it’d be fine however a main component of software obviously a no go lol

This coding here is fairly widely used and seems to work pretty well. It should get you the tunneling and allow the HB's to remain on and not get flashed buy other drivers for blinding them.

You may want to try G05_Laser_ECE for LUT_AFS_DRV_HOR since the code below is from someone coding the G20. Obviously you want to use the ECE values and not the US.

I’ll give it a shot and let you know thanks so much for finding this for me!

There was a press release from Canada BMW a few years ago that offered dealer updates to the lights. You might search that out. IF that was properly applied, I would like to think, erasing it during an OTA update should be eliminated.

FWIW, Canada adopted the EU implementation of the anti-dazzle functionality, so it should be able to be done via the dealer to achieve full functionality.

The US requirements took much longer to be approved, and imposed some requirements that the existing hardware/software appears to not be able to achieve. Maybe with the next X5's replacement. The US requirements seem to mostly be in the response to the system coming around a curve or cresting a hill to be able to mask the oncoming vehicle faster. That would likely require a faster processor and maybe a wider range on the sensors.

Did you get an opportunity to code? How did it turn out?

I did it the other month in my M340i and it seems to be working fine. Of course it is not the full version (although have not experienced that) that you need VO coding, among other things, but it is working and I haven't been flashed yet for having the high beams stay on.
10-17-2023
Awesome! Thanks for responding. I may try this on G05 over the next few days then :)

Not completely true. The PC version does, the IOS verision does not.

Didn’t you argue with me that it didn’t work over a year ago when I coded with BC?

No, not at all. The issue is that you can't enable the full feature Anti-Dazzle using bimmercode since VO needs to be used and there are ECUs that Bimmercode does not have access to. You were insisting that you did but finally after overwhelming evidence and various people telling you that you were wrong did you give up. ;)
