There are lines we should not cross and this is one of those (pun). I can't determine the configuration of the car any defeat would be used on, the attitude to risk of the driver, or the type of roads driven. A 07/2020 i-step G05, fully coded to turn on all assist features, driven on fairly well marked highways, with the hand on knee next to the wheel and driver fully attentive is 99.99999% safe. A 11/18 i-step G05, no coding, on unmarked non-highway roads, with the driver watching netflix is an accident waiting to happen. There are no secrets on the internet anymore, but I won't be the source for this specific info. |

When in for service to upgrade to 07/2020.25 I mentioned the issue, the service advisor said the technician found that a sensor was dirty, (which is surprising because, I try to keep the car clean) although I first noticed the problem on an evening when my wife and I were driving far out into a rural area to get away from light pollution to get a better glimpse of the Neowise comet. With rural roads and darker skies comes an abundance of juicy summertime bugs attracted to the bright laser headlights, maybe one too many bugs on or near a sensor or camera? Since the visit to the service department the issue seems be resolved, so it seems to support that the SW was not the issue.

I am in the same boat.... but a little different with my story. Since the delivery, my truck would sway in the lane (not too wavy but one would definitely feel as if I am intoxicated). I took it to the dealer within a week of purchase and they said that it probably needs some "calibration". They did. Nothing fixed (in my opinion, lol) and I kept quiet as if it was "Normal" (like you give a lollipop to kid and he is happier than before now!)
Then (recently) the 07/2020 Update introduced the "Keep Hands On Wheel frequently" behavior. I was quiet again..... Now I have to deal with two things. 1. Frequent hands on wheel warnings and 2. Lane Swaying "Looks like "ifr" in this forum is enjoying A GREAT RIDE the way he wants". Just a bit envy.

Think you guys would be surprised how well these cars can self-drive. Closest is this video: My differences - I don't get the wheel prompts over 40mph (except for hazards), lane change is automatic, and mine probably stays central in the lane better than in this video. Also, have the Traffic Light Assistant which stops at Red/Amber lights, speed is set automatically, and I get prompted to auto-lane-change when a highway exit approaches. |

While we get loads of goodies in the UK, one we didn't have when I got my car was the automatic Lane Change Assistant. I needed to code that on. My key point is that when you enable all of the drive assist tech that BMW puts in these cars, and a few that they haven't even released yet, it's a Tesla rival. Shame there's so much red tape that they have to cripple the features across markets. |

Interesting. The UK, and other European countries, doesn't currently even have the 40mph Hands Off Option (HOO/eTJA) enabled due to EU regulations. If this passes legislation, could the UK be one of the first to get the Steering Assistant + feature, and will they retrofit to older models? |

I am on 03/2020 and it typically happens when the side markings on the road disappear. And on some Belgian roads that happens a lot.
It happens more often now than a couple of months ago. Is it possible that BMW changed the programming / sensitivity OTA without notification? So like mentioned here before the yellow lines showing the side of the road are detected in the center display become gray until it can find them again and they turn yellow again. In my experience it had nothing to do with holding the wheel. If it happens in the described situation I only get the sound and the two lights on the steering wheel but not the pictogram of the red steering wheel with two hands on the hud or center display as seen in a warning to hold the steering wheel. |

would you be so kind and give me the exact coding for "I don't get the wheel prompts over 40mph" because I tried to do by Esys with the cheat sheet but no luck. Thx in advance. |

Hi,
No one could find the code to change to delay the HOD? The goal is not to deactivate it, but just to add a few seconds because it's too short today ! |

With the upgrade to 11/2023.50, the steering wheel alert for not holding it is way more aggressive. I'm literally holding it with both hands & get an alert daily, where before it was once a week. I would like to code the sensitivity, but not completely disable it.
