Was anyone in the US able to enable these?

On my build sheet I have: Decoding for no-dazzle hgh bm

Hoping I can recode the decode.

As far as I’ve seen in other threads in the forums, this is currently not possible.

Just on this car, or in general across all models? I've read of others successfully doing it on other models

Given it's decoded on the build sheet, I assume it can be recoded. Was just curious if anyone has done it yet

Can you post pics of the data labels on your headlamps?

[MPR]

I don't have my car yet, just came across this on my build sheet and was curious. Audi has similar technology, also disabled on US cars. It's pretty cool if you can get it to work.

I checked with CMB and they do not support the G42 right now, but might in the future. Probably just too new at the moment, but other vendors/freelancers might support it if you dig around.

I believe in general across models. At least newer models with the encrypted ecu’s that haven’t been accessible. There was a thread I’d seen about some coding in bimmercode to do a dumbed down version of the actual No dazzle high beams, but it doesn’t work exactly like the real thing as it’s not the full coding for it.

What exactly is no dazzle ? I see it on my build sheet too.

Think of it like smart high beams. It disables the beams for oncoming cars/cars in front of you only, while other areas ahead of you still get the high beam. The US unfortunately does not allow it, yet. Audi and other manufacturers have similar technology. I think Audi calls theirs Matrix.

Its weird the build sheet still has auto high beams even with the decoding

Dazzling does not refer to auto high beams. We still get automatic high beams in the US

We don't get the dazzling effect which re-aims the high beams if there is an oncoming car. If there is an oncoming car, the high beams just turn off instead. Which is part of the auto high beam option.

Therefore, Automatic High Beams and Dazzling high beams are two separate features. The US only gets auto high beams unfortunately

Auto high beams means it'll turn them entirely on or off based on what it sees (oncoming cars). Where the decoded feature can dynamically control only certain areas, turning off only where it sees a car (someone that could be blinded) and turns off only those beams of light, leaving the rest of the area high beamed. Watch that video I posted it may help you understand.

Video helps a lot!

Actually the above is incorrect. There is a lot of misinformation regarding this, and unfortunately BMW comes up with their own lame terminology "no dazzle" that is not an industry shared technical term, thus it just adds to the confusion.

The accepted technical term is ADB, adaptive driving beams, and is not the same as auto high beams or even adaptive headlights. Adaptive driving beams are also commonly referred to as "matrix" headlamps.

They ARE allowed in the US. For an in depth discussion see the thread i started titled "Adaptive Driving Beams for US 2022", located in the 3 series forums under G20 General Discussion. It has an in depth discussion and review of the 2/22/2022 US Final Rule 40CFR571 (a 111 page document) that revises the old US regs for headlamps. That post does compare the US regs with the Euro ECE regs. Part of the confusion is that the US regs did NOT adopt the Euro standards and kept a relatively low level of maximum illumination allowed for these adaptive driving beams (roughly only 50 percent of that allowed in the ECE standards for much of the rest of the world. The reasoning was rather spurious at best, simply put they did not want to modify their testing procedures in order to test the for the higher output levels acceptable elsewhere. So yes Adaptive Driving Beams are allowed in the US as of 2/22/2022 but must meet the US standards which are not the same as Euro/ECE standards. Much more detail in the post i referenced above. I do have a copy of the US regs if anyone is interested i can email it.

I don't get what of what I said is incorrect..so they are allowed/legal but not the euro standard that comes with BMW? Same thing, it boils down to them (BMW no dazzle/matrix) not being allowed in the US as of current

I was responding to the statement:

That statement is the statement i was referring to, The US does allow smart beams as you describe it, ie "disables the beams for oncoming cars/cars in front of you only, while other areas ahead of you still get the high beam", that is what Adaptive Driving Beams are, They are allowed in the US as of 2/22/2022.

It's no biggie, i just wanted to clear up some of the confusion around the new regs and BMWs awfull "no dazzle" term which is close to meaningless.

[MPR]

What does no dazzle equate to then? Can we code adaptive beams?

Is mobility kit for tire flat ?

You are just confusing folks even further.. "No dazzle," "ADB," "Dancing beams" however you want to call it, people just want to know if their specific vehicle, a G42 with adaptive lighting, can be coded to match the dynamic function as it does in Europe, instead of how it currently is on US-spec vehicles, which just shuts the high beam on/off completely, when it detects oncoming vehicles.

The answer is yes, it can be coded with a program called "ESYS," which removes the block code implemented on US-bound vehicles to prevent this feature from activation. However, since the model is new, no one has yet to attempted this but it's all the same..

Thanks Poochie....now the real test.....for someone to actually try it and see if in fact the decoding does work....hopefully we can get someone to try and post back here.
