Deactivate amber/orange side leds on laser light + sticker
(1) [blue rectangular] I think this is a North American specificity as this is not active/available on EU versions: do you know when do they turn on and, more importantly, how to code these to turn off preferably using Bimmercode (see below)?
(2) [yellow rectangular] I suspect this sticker inside is for North American version to indicate that the high beam is lowered. I didn't see that sticker on EU version. Can this be removed? Do we know the actual description on the sticker? |

Using E-sys, try VO Coding the two FLM2s with FA Typschlussel set to the EUR version of your X5.
Detailed instructions: 1) Edit your FA and change Typschlussel (under Type) to EUR version of your vehicle. For my NA M340iX, I changed 5U93 to 5U91. Save to a new FA file name. 2) Make sure E-Sys Options-->Options tab --> "Update VCM after TAL execution" and "Update MSM after TAL execution" are not selected. 3) In Expert Mode --> Coding --> Load the FA file you just create and VO Code the two FLM2 ECUs. 5) Test to make sure headlights operate properly and side markers are no longer on.

What was the behavior of the headlights before ? I have done the same manipulation thing (returned to US typschlussel afterwards) but I didn't notice anything on the headlight dimming on and off when opening/closing.

I wonder if you know what are the other consequences / changes of changing the typschlussel from US to ECE on other aspects of the car ? |

I would not recommend blindly VO coding other ECUs. There may be incompatibilities and the VO Coding may fail or the the CAFD coding changes may cause operating errors/warnings. Forum members, such as ifr and Trojanlaw , have contributed greatly and done the heavy lifting to determine what G05 features can be enabled/disabled by FDL coding. Larry

In case we'd want to do more VO coding on the car, would you recommend doing the following instead: 1. Changing TypSchlussel to ECE and import new FA 2. VO Code FLM ECUs 3. Return to TypSchlussel US and reimport the FA 4. Do more (future) VO Coding |

I have a process I follow to understand the impact on CAFD ECU(s) for functionality/operation I wish to implement before deciding to modify FA and VO Code or just FDL Code my vehicle: 1) For FA changes, identify changes to vehicle SVT, if any. If there are changes to your SVT e.g. flashing different firmware, be careful... may imply more complex mods. I avoid these types of mods. 2) Identify changes in the CAFD file(s) for ECU(s) of interest. More times than not, more than one ECU is affected so it is an educated guessing to determine which ECU(s) may be of interest. 3) The most difficult (for me) is to understanding what these CAFD changes do and what CAFD parameters to change. For me, choosing between FA mods/VO Coding or FDL Coding (since both methods modify the CAFD(s) of interest) is dependent on the number of CAFD edits. FYI, VO Coding may change CAFD parameters you do not want changed so they will have to be changed back to factory. Larry

This worked for me as well! I do have an additional question With the amber lights now off, is it still possible to enable the fog lights with the parking lights? |
