But, Google sometime can be your friend.
Last time I did coding with a laptop was back in 2015 when I had my m235i. Since then I've been using Carly from my phone, which is much simpler, but very limited in parameters and compatibility.

I wish there was a tutorial which parameters exactly need to be change to enable anti dazzle lights.

r33_RGSport Feel free to reach out to me via PM, I would be interested in my options on how you can assist me for compensation remotely as I am on the east coast. Thanks.

r33_RGSport had remotely enabled anti dazzle on my car, and it works really well on rural roads. Amazing tech.

Laser Lights explained - X6M Competition (2021 G05 in UK)

Also, what about the selective beam technology, I understand it is not legal in the USA, but do we actually have this technology built in and its just deactivated?
Just reading this and i had the same questions before purchasing my car. The laser lights are only applicable on the Main Beam, Matrix LED for Dipped beam which works extremely well. Also, you need to have the headlights in Auto Main Beam Mode to get the Laser Lights to operate as they need to dip when detecting on coming traffic.

The best way to describe the difference is comparing them to the hotspot of a high quality flashlight. You can see twice the distance (1km i believe) and there is s distinct hotspot that is cast into the furthest point (usually against a tree or a road sign or something). they are superb, but they are not outstandingly better than the LED standard Headlights. They do look really cool when you opent he car up and the lights all come in in sequence with the DRL's and they have this nice cool blue surround.

I actually bought a laser (LEP) flashlights, its absolutely insane, it throws the hotspot for miles.

When anti-dazzle kicks in, does your headlights working in high beam, i.e. the car moves high beam out of a car in front of you? Or it works in low beam mode?

You need to have the "auto high beam" activated, so essentially you're driving with low beams and the system activates high beams depending on traffic conditions.

The issue I'm having with anti-dazzle it is moving the beams with low beams active, what makes no sense to me as low beams designed not to blind the traffic, thus there is no point to move it away.

My expectation is that the car is always/in most cases use high beam and when there is a traffic - moves one beam away, second switch to low beam (or move it away as well) not to blind. I have LED headlights with anti-dazzle enabled via ProTools app.

In your case, how does it work?
