I have no experience of the system working on any other car in any other region other than my own. I'm confident the coding is 100%, the rest is down to the software as is in i-step 07/2020. Considering BMW haven't even released this feature yet, and only some EU countries seem to be on the list for 11/2020, it's very much 'use at your own risk'. All I wanted to achieve from this exercise is to determine that the coding is solid, so that when it is released, we have options to: 1) activate in countries where not allowed due to regs but otherwise is fully functional 2) activate the feature retrospectively I can imagine the BMW engineers reading this thread, holding their head in their hands and proclaiming 'no! it is not ready!' Not rubbing it in, but in the UK it is a very usable comfort and safety feature even now. Just saying |

I think at this time, it's maybe a good idea for all of those in the USA to start to work together to share our testing/findings? Thoughts Trojanlaw, mandomedic122 and any others?

I have had this active and coded since August.
Happy to share but there's not much more to say other than there's no consistency as to when the car will stop if at all at a red light. The lights are recognized regularly and the car notifies me when the light changes to green. If there is a car in front of me everything works seamlessly. The only issue that arises is when I am the lead car at a traffic light. Then you have to be extremely careful because you cannot count on the system to stop you. I have also discovered that if you are traveling at over 40mph, the system does not slow the car down in time if there is another car stopped at a traffic light in some situations. So be careful It is a nice feature to have, however, it is far from ready for prime time in the US. I do not know if there are some features tied to the GWW space FSC. The other possibility is that it is a region coding that has not even activated in the US. Have fun playing with it but be very careful as it is not reliable to stop you at intersections.

In fact if it's dangerous nobody should use it until safe to do so. The coding works, forget FSC discussions it's irrelevant, the feature just behaves differently in different regions because they are all different. |

Also the aSLA turns off in school zones.

There is a problem. When I stopped the car on the parking line (there was a car in front), the dashboard showed that it was 50 meters away from the red light (as shown in the picture). When the red light changed to green, the dashboard There is no change in the traffic light, it is still a red light, and there is no reminder. Is this because it did not stop on the parking line that the system thinks?

You mentioned Bimmercode in your response, and I saw you also responded to another thread in which I referenced a step-by-step tutorial for activating ADV via Bimmercode on a 2019 G05. For a new coder, do you foresee a possibility to 'break the vehicle' through Bimmercode? Specifically, if I carefully follow the instructions in that video to a T? |

I've never used BC, as I'm about code discovery and it's too limiting for my use case, but it's a tried and tested product by many on this forum. I originally discovered and published the ADV coding, and it's definitely one of my lowest risk code set, but you ultimately have to take the responsibility for your own coding. Try changing something out of the box with BC first, confirm it's worked, then do ADV. easy |

I had a number of features coded which have disappeared with the update (although ADV remains intact even though it didn’t come with the car) and I’m going to have them re-coded I understand your view in regards to TRaffic Light Assistant, so I won’t ask any questions on that but, could you assist me with the following...I have circled a couple of the menu options that you have under speed assistant which I’m a little confused about. There appears to be two speed thresholds above and below 40mph, and adaptive distance control....what BMW features do they relate to? Are those part of assisted lane change or urban cruise control function, or something separate to them?. Even when I had assisted lane change previously coded, these menu options weren’t present (Istep 11/19) I’m going to have assisted lane change re-coded back into my car...will the circled speed and distance thresholds menu settings automatically appear (ie they form part of Istep 07/2020.54) or are these separate features that need to be individually switched on? Finally, is urban cruise control a standalone feature, or is it a collection of these individual parameters....I ask because I use the assisted driving features a lot and I know that there have been improvements made to the way that the car handles bends (approach speed, radius analysis, position within the lane etc) all of which not only improve the quality of the feature but, also it’s safety....to gain the benefits of these improvements, do they need to be coded, or do they just form part of the 07/2020.54 software Many Thanks Jason |

The second option for 40mph is for aSLA. So you can set a speed above/below the speed limit up to 40mph and then one for over 40 mph. I have +2mph up to 40mph and +5mph for >40mph. Keeps it within the tolerances for ACPO guidelines for speeding fines. If you want auto lane change to persist post i-step upgrades, ask your coder to remove 8TR from your FA. None of the options shown will appear on your vehicle even with i-step 07/2020, including the extra +/- mph option for aSLA, as they need specific coding beyond the default. TLA requires UCC, which is part of SLA, which is part of DAP (5AU). You won't get UCC/TLA without coding, but there are improvements in Drive Assist in 07/2020 that do come as standard without coding. Out of the available code-able options on 07/2020, for a UK car, I can recommend: - TLA - Emergency lane formation - Automatic distance control - the extra aSLA speed option, but this came with an earlier i-step The no undertaking option is pants, and the highway exit assistant isn't ready for prime time.

I got the main enhancement I was looking for which was the upgrade to the digital voice assistant....I particularly wanted the ability to change drive modes (comfort to Sport plus) via voice activation.....interestingly, it works seamlessly for me....I had read on another thread that when you requested sport mode you had to confirm it on the idrive screen.....for me, it just switches (possibly the extra confirmation is a country specific requirement?) I have some of the rules based features such as ...open a window at a location (not useful for me) and activation of seat heating based on temperature threshold.....I did NOT get the heated steering wheel activation based on temperature threshold.....do you have this? I’m assuming that I can get this coded..... Anyways, thanks for your help...I’ll let you know how I get on. Need to go to the dealer tomorrow to get the fuel filler flap repaired which failed in the lock position. |

Yes, I have the heated wheel, passenger, and rear passenger seat rule activation. It's actually coding I discovered and published, and one of the only ones the kids actually care about |

Is 8TR a National Version VO code? There is only 8AA National Version China in my configuration table. My traffic light assist does not show the traffic light status when the vehicle is stationary. Is it because I am not close to the traffic light? You are an expert in this area, thank you for answering our questions |

If the red-light is recognised and the car comes to a stop either automatically or through manual acceptance, then it should maintain monitoring of that same light. When it changes to green it will notify you to get going. If it doesn't do that, then it must a regional issue. As an aside, green light notification works even if assisted driving is not active. |

If you want to check for your own region, do a coding verification with and without it in FA, then winmerge compare the resultant fwl sets. |
