Adjusting Sensitivity of the Auto On/Off headlight

Does anyone know if the sensitivity of the auto on/off headlight can be adjusted. The headlights sometimes comes on when I drive under a tree or shadow of a building. I am probably driving the car in front crazy.

On I-Drive goto vehicle settings then lighting. You can choose from 3 settings of sensitivity. If you don't have I-Drive i don't know how

Dealer has to do it on non I-Drive cars. This same problem on my 330i Xenons was resolved with an update to Progman (CIP) 20.1.

Multiple unnessecary ON/OFF will damage your pulps sooner, as per manual, So I suggest that you either reduce sensitivity from within iDrive, or better, Stop using the Automatic mode

They took that off in later progman updates so if you have a recent build, don't go crazy looking for it.

That’s right... one more brilliant BMW idea… “give and then take”.
