The soft close coding parameters for the tailgate on previous X models was due to the setting from the factory was a hard slam.

Does the g07 X7 tailgate close with a hard slam, too? If no, I'd leave it alone. If yes, then coding the tailgate to "slow down" so that it doesn't slam shut will be a relief.

My f15 X5's tailgate would slam shut with a hard THUD and it drove me crazy. Coding it to slow down in its last stage of closure changed it to a gentle soft close and made life much better.

Lower and upper tailgate slam. I'm going to play with the bump stops this evening to see if that "softens" the close before I make any coding changes, but currently I have a loud thud as if someone slammed a passenger door.

I also coded the softer closure for the trunk of my X7 2021. I've tried several values over the last few months. The important thing to remember is that if you soften the closure too much, after a few days the trunk may not close completely!

In short, here's what I've discovered on my end:
- You need to change the values in the HKFM2 module
- ProfileCloseStopNode1PwmPlg = Top door
- ProfileCloseStopNode1Pwm = Bottom door
- 1st Byte = Panel speed at end of closing movement
- 2nd Byte = Closing force (at very end of movement)

In my case, the following values work great:
- ProfileCloseStopNode1PwmPlg -> Werte (00,64)
- ProfileCloseStopNode1Pwm -> Werte (00,A0)

Here is a video of the default trunk closure (note : if the domain of the url is not "dropbox", you have to copy/paste the following link and replace "dropbotwitter" by "dropbox"):

Here is a video of the softer trunk closure I have coded (note : if the domain of the url is not "dropbox", you have to copy/paste the following link and replace "dropbotwitter" by "dropbox"):

And as a bonus, here are four other tricks I've coded that I really like:
1) Activate the beeper when the trunk is closed (inside button, keyfob button or foot movement under rear bumper):
- HKL_REMOTECONTROLLIFTGATEBUTTON_BEEPER_ACTIVE -> Werte (01)
- HKL_LIFTGATEBUTTONOUTSIDE_BEEPER_ACTIVE -> Werte (01)
- HKL_LIFTGATEBUTTONLOCK_BEEPER_ACTIVE -> Werte (01)

2) Change the behavior of the inner rocketswitch to close the trunk without having to perform a long press:
- HKL_ROCKERSWITCHPOS1_BUTTON_TYPE -> Werte (05)
- HKL_ROCKERSWITCHPOS2_LONGPRESS_CLOSE -> Werte (00)

3) Program the keyfob button to behave in the same way as the inner rocketswitch, and to close the trunk too:
- HKL_REMOTECONTROLLIFTGATEBUTTON_BUTTON_TYPE -> wert05 (05)
- HKL_REMOTECONTROLLIFTGATEBUTTON_DELAY_CLOSE -> Werte (00,00)

4) Prevent accidental opening of the trunk while driving by allowing opening ONLY when the gearbox is in position “P”:
- BDC_BODY3 (7083) -> VAM_BOOTLID_OPEN_ONLY_IN_P_IDG_SMO -> aktiv (01)
- BDC_BODY3 (7083) -> VAM_BOOTLID_IN_P_ONLY_LOCKED -> nicht_aktiv (00)

So we need to perform this coding after every software update..right ?

Not necessarily, it depends on how it was done. Some OTA's don't update every module, so if it is an OTA that didn't impact the coded modules, then no, it would not require re-coding. However, dealer updates usually affect them all, so in those instances, it would be required to re-code.

Starting my coding journey to make this G07 specific to me. So far I’ve been using BimmerCode (comfort and expert mode). I also purchased Bimmer Utility for advanced coding (I have not coded, only looked around with BU application).

What I have coded so far:
Comfort +
Window interrupt not active
Close tailgate with remote
M performance up to 200
///M animation
Beep when locking while engine running not active


Next up
Soft close tailgate and anti-dazzle headlights

Soft close - Post state it works but I have not coded this (https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2014390&highlight=bimmer+utlity )

3011 APPL_PLG_ SPEED_ PROFILE, 64(Top tailgate)
Code:
ProfileCloseStartNode1PwmPlg - Werte=00, 3Е
ProfileCloseStopNode1PwmPlg - Werte=00, 98
ProfileCloseStartNode2PosPlg - Werte=00, 32
ProfileCloseStopNode1PosPlg - Werte=00, 32

3072 APPL_LTG_SPEED_PROFILE, 69(Lower tailgate)

ProfileCloseStartNode1Pwm - Werte=00, 25
ProfileCloseStopNode1Pwm - Werte=00, BB
ProfileCloseStopNode1Pos - Werte=00, 96
ProfileCloseStartNode2Pos - Werte=00, 96


I do have a question regarding the anti-dazzle
For the 5 ecu’s that need to be coded, am I just opening and pressing code and not making any changes within them and then opening the KAFAS4 and making changes in the below directories?

I know about the BDC changes they are just not listed here


Anti-Dazzle - (https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1742249&page=2 )
read FA, edit FA

I can also help you code your outdoor lighting correctly.

First of all, here are a few definitions important to understand :

1) VLD = Variable Light Distribution - It moves your headlights and position the beams on the road depending on steering angle, vehicle speed and the environment (urban, highway, countryside). It's standard on all European cars but is decoded on all North American cars for legal reasons.




2) Anti-Dazzle = GFHBA = Glare Free High Beams Assistant - European spec high beams that enable your car to keep the high beams on without blinding other cars. This is basically a better and more advanced version of High Beams Assistant than North American version that simply turns the high beams on or off depending of the presence of other cars.





Here are the steps to follow to correctly code the “Anti-Dazzle” and “Variable Light Distribution” options:

1) Remove the FA 5AP from your vehicle's SALAPA list. Then apply the modifications. In BimmerUtility, simply “Save” the change and the application will ask you if you agree to apply the modifications to related ECUs.

Otherwise you can “VO-Code” the following modules after removing the FA 5AP:
BDC_BODY3 -> 1DF8 + 7083
KAFAS4 -> 40F9


2) Next, you need to change the following parameters to activate the “Anti-Dazzle” and "VLD" functions :
BDC_BODY3 (1DF8) :
C_HBA_FOG_ENA -> Werte (00)
C_HBA_DIM_ENA -> enable (01)
C_HBA_GFHB_ENA -> enable (01)
C_HBA_GFHBA_ENA_V_HI -> 49km/h (31)
C_HBA_GFHBA_ENA_V_HYST -> Japan_5_km/h (05)
C_AFS_ECO_LEVEL_3_ENA -> enable (01)
C_AFS_ENA -> enable (01)
C_BLC_PRE_ENA -> enable (01)
C_CLC_BLINK_ENA -> enable (01)
C_CLC_CURV_V2 -> ECE (23)
C_CLC_CURV_V3 -> ECE (28)
C_CLC_EXT_ENA -> enable_roundabout (01)
C_CLC_REV_ENA -> enable (01)
LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y -> AFS (00,00,00)
LUT_AFS_CODRV_HOR :
-> standard/init (if you have regular high beams)
-> G05_Laser_ECE (if you have Laser high beams)
LUT_AFS_DRV_HOR :
-> F040_G005_AHL/G015_G020_Laser/G07_ECE/G07_Basis_US (if you have regular high beams)
-> G05_Laser_ECE (if you have Laser high beams)

BDC_BODY3 (7083) :
AL_MODE_ECO -> LOW_LEVEL_3_DIPB (03)
LIN_VARIANTE_SZL -> szl_r_HW_aic_4Band_fla (30)

KAFAS (40F9):
COUNTRY_VARIATION -> EUROPE_RC (01)
C_FLA_CC_MESSAGE_3 -> no_CC_message (00)
C_FLA_COUNTRY_WITH_MULTIPLE_REFLECTORS -> Active (01)
C_FLA_US_SENSITIVITY_MODE -> Normal (00)
C_FLA_BS_ENTER_THRESH -> Rest of world (03)
C_FLA_BS_EXIT_THRESH -> Rest of world (02)


This should work perfectly, as long as you set your light switch to “Position A”.

Thank you for the detailed post on this. I'm going to try to follow this to enable the VLD/anti-dazzle on my 21 X7. I'm planning to use bimmer utility.

Apparently the anti-dazzle can be easily coded with Bimercode in expert mode. I was able to do so on my ‘22 Alpina with Laser Lights but haven’t ventured outside of the city to test it out.

Pardon the terrible picture..

I have a 2020 X7 40i. Does the Anti Dazzle require the laster lights or can it be done on the LEDs?

Did you have a chance to check if the anti-dazzle works?

Unfortunately I did not. I live deep in the city so it’s never dark enough to see if it’s working properly. By the time I took a road trip to VA I had gotten an over the air software update that wiped out the coding..
