Auto-High Beam Headlights Not Working After Software Update
Not sure if this has been addressed. I had my 2019 X5 brought in for the software updates and am at version 07/2019.55.
Everything seems to be fine except for the fact that the automatic high beams now do not work, when they did flawlessly prior. Has this been experienced by anyone else? Yes, I have clicked to re-engage that function but it does not work. Thoughts welcomed, thanks. |

Are you sure it’s on? Just a thought to make sure in the turn signal you have it set to on. Same thing happened to me after an update.

Yes, it should be on. I clearly see the auto-highbeam icon in the dashboard. When I click the turn signal stalk, I can turn the system on and off but it won't function. Its one the things I rely on in the morning and evening.

Thank you, I never knew how to do a reboot. I'll try it but I've already booked a service appointment, I figure I'll keep it. I saw something on the forums about a new software version .7x maybe they can install the newest version too.

If the high beams are on then it turns off the auto high beam function

Thank you for that, so it's more than simply rebooting iDrive, thank you.

I never updated my post but I was able to get "auto headlights" back online after going back to the dealer. It did take about two days to update or reinstall the the iDrive update but I did get a loaner for my trouble. Your prompt is completely different, just go back to the dealer, it's more than likely software if it worked before. Good luck. |

Which update in particular did not impact the auto high-beams? I saw reports that some lost the default auto settings, but that is a different question.

Hi, you seem to be the only person I know of talking about a FSC for HBA. I have done a laser light, HBA stalk and new SZL retrofit lasers are working fine but nobody has any idea about needing a FSC for the HBA not even my local BMW. They had the car for 3 days and still couldn't get it to work. When I press the button I get a function acquirable message in the display and on the idrive screen but can't Purchased it from the connecteddrive store as it doesn't recognise my VIN. Could you help put me onto anybody that can do this as I am kind of at a loss with it. Any help/info would be much appreciated

https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1729456&page=3 As it happens, the High Assist Premium had nothing to do with HBA (its Wrong Way Assist FSC), and we fixed using other methods, but in your scenario looks like you would need the High Beam Assist FSC (0x01B0). All I'm doing is listing the FSC in my car. I have no idea if that FSC is genuinely for HBA or will 100% work in your circumstance as I've never had to import it, but you could ask them specifically for it and see what they say. I know that in some markets/models you can purchase HBA aftermarket in ConnectedDrive. |

i've never tried getting a 3rd party FSC that route, but I know of others that have. |
