In BDC CAFID "0500001DF8015060003" there are the following differences between ECE and US parameters, most of these do seem related to headlights/NGHB. I have not yet tested them myself, but other members mentioned they are using the ECE values with 5AP removed
Code:
PARAMETER US VALUE ECE VALUE C_AFS_ECO_LEVEL_3_ENA disable [00] enable [01] C_AFS_ENA disable [00] enable [01] C_BLC_PRE_ENA disable [00] enable [01] C_CLC_CURV_V2 US [3C] ECE [23] C_CLC_CURV_V3 US [46] ECE [28] C_CLC_EXT_ENA disable [00] enable_roundabout [01] C_HBA_DIM_ENA disable [00] enable [01] C_HBA_GFHBA_ENA_V_HI 55km/h [37] standard [3C] C_HBA_GFHB_ENA disable [00] enable [01] LUT_AFS_CODRV_HOR Laser_US/G007_US [00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 15 15 00 00 00 15 15 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00] standard/init [00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00] LUT_AFS_DRV_HOR Laser_US [00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 EB EB 00 00 00 EB EB 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00] F040_G005_AHL/G015_G020_Laser [00 00 00 33 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00] LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y no_AFS [00 00 14] AFS [00 00 00] |

Enabling GFHB by coding CAFD parameters instead of FA editing and VO Coding
The proposed method of enabling GFHB is documented in earlier posts and appears to be working for some members, including myself:
Edit FA and remove 5AP then VO Code BDC, HU, KAFAS4 and the two FLMs However, for those using Bimmercode, this method is not possible. Also, I recently learned that for some (HW?) versions of KAFAS4, the CAFD files may become corrupted when attempting to code and may not be recoverable... lets hope not. So I took a look at the differences in CAFD file (for my FA) for BDC, HU, KAFAS4 and FLM2 with and without 5AP and I was surprised to discover that all but one of the CAFD files were identical. The exception was BDC 1DF8: C_HBA_DIM_ENA --> enable C_HBA_GFHB_ENA --> enable So from this analysis, it would appear that all one has to do to enable GFHB is change the value of these two parameters. Now based on my experience with coding GFHB on my old F32, additional parameters may need to be coded so I compared US and ECE typecoded CAFD files for BDC, KAFAS4 and FLM to uncover differences that may be associated with GFHB. I have already shared some of these differences in a different post but I uncovered more differences that may be applicable. I coded these differences and based on very limited testing, the GFHB behaviour appears to be more dynamic/active and react less to false positives e.g. roadside reflectors. I still need to do more testing before posting the coding, but for those that may be interested in testing and are proficient with and have access to launcher/esys, please PM and I will share the coding with you.

I can confirm modifying these does seem to work. Going to code the few extras mentioned by @siegester to see if they are less prone to adjusting due to road signs
C_HBA_DIM_ENA --> enable C_HBA_GFHB_ENA --> enable |

In addition to the coding siegester posted, these are the other GFHB related coding changes I made to my vehicle: VO Coded the two FLMs with ECE typecode. KAFAS4 40F9 C_FLA_COUNTRY_WITH_MUTIPLE_REFLECTORS aktiv KAFAS4 40F9 C_FLA_US_SENSITIVITY_MODE normal KAFAS4 40F9 C_FLA_BS_ENTER_THRESH rest of world KAFAS4 40F9 C_FLA_EXT_THRESH rest of world I believe the first fdl coding change in KAFAS4 will accomplish your objective re road signs.

Just coded the parameters suggested by siegester and the 4 KAFAS4 parameters suggested by larrylam646. Will test tonight and report back on the behavior.

This is a new method of signatures that will make coding not possible with the current method. This will be implemented on MY2021 cars. Unfortunatley the wide forum spread of codings along with Bimmercode has become too widely spread that BMW was suffering and decided to put a stop to this. |

Have you VO coded the FLMs with ECE typecode? The GFHB appears to be more active/dynamic and track vehicles more aggressively. The only downside for me is the side markers are disabled.

Just wondering what are the legal limitations of this, in regard to right to repair laws and such? Adding this type of gatekeeping could be seen as overreaching. Though looks murky from the outside, i'm not an expert.

And second, the Laser High-Beam activates at about 60Km/H-37Mph, not at 130KM/H, otherwise it'd be a completely useless feature. Also, the blue strip in the lights is Hardware blue, not software blue. The headlights are blue even when off, i.e. there's a blue accent under the lamp. And, the light is not blue, it's never blue, it's always white, as explained in the video below (the blue light in the picture below is just like a decoration). The possible fact that it's not allowed in the US because of the blue colour makes no sense whatsoever. This picture shows it quite clearly: Why do you have to code Anti-Dazzle, isn't High-Beam Assist available with Adaptive LED or Laser lights? Because it's really the High-Beam Assist that moves the lights; with Laser Lights all that is different (to LED's) is that it also activates the lasers, but other than that it's the High-Beam Assist that performs the job of reading traffic and moving the lights, turning them ON and OFF, illuminating the signs along the road, etc. I know this because I used to have this functionality in my 2018 G30 with LED's. One more thing (someone commented something about this): in Europe at least, it's not only about the high-beam lights, but also about using the low lights as cornering lights, roundabout lights (lights moved outwards to illuminate better both sides of the roundabout), etc. Take a look at these videos that show the complete spectrum of options by feature name (I took these from the Driver's Guide app). And, by the way, they work exactly as in the animations, they're totally awesome. Adaptive Headlights The headlight beams follow the road ahead in response to the steering angle and other parameters. To prevent dazzling oncoming vehicles, the Adaptive Headlights do not swivel to the opposite side of the road when stationary. Anticipatory headlights for bends: The beams are adapted to the direction of the road ahead even before entering or leaving a bend. Headlights for S-bends: The beams are kept as straight as possible when driving around S-bends. Headlights for hairpin bends: The cornering light is also switched on before entering hairpin bends. Variable light distribution: Variable light distribution illuminates the road even more effectively. The light distribution is automatically adapted to the speed. If equipment includes a navigation system, the light distribution is automatically adapted depending on the navigation data and speed. City light: The light beam from the low-beam headlights is extended at the sides. Motorway beam pattern: The range of the low-beam headlights is increased. Cornering light: In sharp turns up to a specified speed, for example in hairpin bends or when turning off, a cornering light is added to illuminate the inside area of the bend. The cornering light is activated automatically depending on the steering angle or use of the turn indicators, where applicable. When reversing, the cornering light may be activated automatically irrespective of the steering angle. Roundabout light: Shortly before driving onto a roundabout, the cornering light on both sides is switched on. The edge of the road is better illuminated. Shortly before leaving a roundabout, the cornering light on both sides is switched off again. Adaptive headlight beam throw adjustment: Adaptive headlight beam throw adjustment compensates for acceleration and braking manoeuvres and vehicle load conditions to prevent oncoming vehicles from being dazzled. Illumination of the road is optimised. High-Beam Assist High-beam assistance: High-beam assistance detects other road users in good time and activates or deactivates the high beam depending on the traffic situation. High-beam assistance ensures that the high-beam headlights are switched on when the traffic situation allows. The high-beam headlights are not switched on by the system at low speeds. The system responds to the lights from oncoming traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to ambient lighting, for example in built-up areas. The high-beam headlights can be switched on and off manually at any time. If no-dazzle high-beam assistance is installed, the high-beam headlights are not switched off for oncoming vehicles or vehicles driving ahead of you; instead, the areas of the beam that would otherwise dazzle the oncoming traffic or traffic driving ahead are masked off. In this case, the blue indicator lamp continues to illuminate. If a journey is interrupted with high-beam assistance activated: when the journey is resumed, high-beam assistance remains activated. The high-beam assistant is deactivated by switching the high beams on and off manually. To reactivate high-beam assistance, press the button on the turn indicator lever. In the following situations, the system will not operate or its operation will be impaired and your intervention may be required: ▷ In extremely adverse weather conditions such as fog or heavy precipitation. ▷ When detecting poorly lit road users such as pedestrians, cyclists or horse riders or carriages and when trains or ships are close to the road, or when animals are crossing the road. ▷ On narrow bends, on steep hilltops or in depressions, when there is crossing traffic or if the view of oncoming vehicles on a motorway is obstructed. ▷ In poorly lit towns or where there are highly reflective signs. ▷ If the area of windscreen in front of the rearview mirror is covered with condensation, dirt, stickers, labels, etc. Laser Lights The beam throw of the high-beam headlights is increased for even better illumination of the road surface. When high-beam headlights are switched on, laser high-beam headlight is switched on automatically in addition to LED high-beam headlight from a speed of approximately 60 km/h, 37 mph. Depending on the country variant, additional information can be found on the laser information notice on the headlights.

This is a video I shot the other day while driving over the mountain, here in Norway. At around 1:13 you can see that the laser lights illuminate a truck parked on the side of the road, which is after a curve a way ahead of the car (it's seen as a red box on the right).
This is the first time that I see the lights so clearly illuminating at its full potential. It's also possible to see the adaptive headlights dancing and avoiding incoming traffic, as well as the great illumination the light gives for the sides of the road. Totally freaking awesome.
