Turn headlights fully off while car running
Has anyone figured out a way to code the lights to he able to be fully turned off when engine is running?
Drives me insane to have exterior lights on if I'm just sitting parked somewhere with engine running for heater, was able to do to this with DRL option in my last 5 cars. |

Hi,
You can code the MGU menu to have the option to tick the DRL’s to off. Unfortunately this will only work during daytime as the function “auto” on your light switch panel will remain on and as soon as it gets darker your drl’s + low beams will switch on. |

I HATE HATE HATE Auto headlights. They are designed for idiots who go around without their headlights on.
I would love to be able to code them off.

Edit: sorry was using the app and didn't see you are in another country, your set up might be different and you might not have that option

It gives you an option: Auto headlights in position 0 Auto headlights in position 1 US cars are set to 0, see what yours is set to. Back in the day, I imported a Volvo from Canada and had this very same problem. Couldn't turn off the headlights. That one just required a US spec headlight switch (before coding days )

"Lights off not available while driving" or something like that. I hope we can find a way to code them so it remembers the last setting. Off means OFF

I'm not sure it can be removed via coding, it might be hardware specific but don't quote me.. https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/roa...le-lights.html |

We never had the option in idrive to turn them off either always needed coding. It's because we have so many damn morons driving dark thinking they have lights on cause the drl does faint heads and cluster, but no tails. Ruin it for us people with a brain |

It sucks but laws exist so stupid people don't hurt themselves or others.. I encounter at least one neanderthal, per week, on the expressway, late at night, with no lights on but I digress.. If it's that serious to you, maybe one of the coding vendors here might be able to possible code it remotely for you. Won't hurt to ask.. Try Steve @ codemybimmer |

You can turn off the headlight while engine is running by coding
OFF_IN_PWF_FAHREN_ERLAUBT : 01 (ja) this is in 17BD (BDC), also you need daylight coding as well. |
