Couple of plans got cancelled tonight and I found myself messing with the car and I got everything to work via Bimmer Code thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

Here is what I have done based on all the data that I have gathered through this thread. Full disclosure: Do this at your own risk!!!!

This is what worked for me.

Make sure that you have the latest version of Bimmer Code installed on your device.

Body Domain Control Menu, Expert mode change everything below as stated previously.

LIC_FEATURE_14 enable -> disable
LIC_NIVEAU_OVVERRIDE_INDEX G20_US_code2 -> G22_ECE_code2
LIC_NIVEAU_OVVERRIDE_DATA_0 G20_US_code2 -> G20_ECE_code1
LIC_LOG_LAMP_2_PHYS_LAMP_INDEX G20_US_code1 -> G20_ECE_code1
LIC_LOG_LAMP_2_PHYS_LAMP_DATA G20_US_code1 -> G20_ECE_code1
LIC_EDGE_CUTTER_RULE_ASSIGNMENT G20_US_code -> G20_ECE_code

And then go ahead and execute the coding.

Now this is the step that we all have been missing.

Once you are done with above coding, do not touch anything and go back to the expert mode and pull up

LICVERSIONDATA

Bimmer code has different values added to this list after you code above which were not present before or if you do all the coding at once. Based on the actual codes that larrylam646 & moproblems provided, I scrolled through the entire list and found values that matched their data around 98%. Following values were provided for by Larry and Moproblems:

71,14,09,02,08,44,06,4F,00,0A,14,02,B4,C8,02,F0,0F ,3E,D4,2C,27,32,03,03,07,02,28,78,3F,EF,16,0C,04,0 A,27,0F,77

I studied the entire list carefully and what I ended up choosing was the only set of data that started with 71, 14 and 09 which is identified as UNKNOWN_28 in my case (based on your vehicle's options your UNKNOWN number might be different) (Pay attention to the values!). The rest of the data on Bimmer code under any of the other UNKNOWNS were not even a close match and there was only one set of data that started with 71 in my case.


See below pic for UNKNOWN_28 for the values I selected.



Go ahead and execute coding again and then you are DONE!

Full set of Turn Signals that are separated from brake lights just as BMW designed!

I tested everything that I can while in the garage and everything works just as it would on a Rest of the Word (ROW) spec cars.

I will have to double check emergency braking feature and some other stuff when I drive the car tomorrow but brake lights, back up lights, turn signals, DRLs, parking lights (all), parking lights left & right & etc work perfectly with no hyper flashing on turn signals!!!!

Time to order some beautiful AMBER tail lights now

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks to all who contributed to this thread. I might create a separate thread to document this whole thing so that other folks don't have to read through this whole thing.

Let me know if you have any questions.

PS: My car's options are listed in my signature per the option codes BMW offered at the time of ordering. I do have Laser Lights which I don't know makes any difference as far as coding is concerned.


Can I do this coding via my Android Phone or only via computer? Bimmercode tell that it is not possible to share the licence between Android and Windows.

You can use your Android. That's what I have been using. Just download the app.

My car has the 03/2023.50 version (when Bimmercode became unable to code ASS memory, rip) and I changed all of these (my unknowns were different, but the first 71 and 14 matching one I selected), but at most was able to separate the signals on the outer lights. The inner lights' light bar and reverse was working, but I wasn't getting the signals.

Then after an hour of messing around to understand why it might be, I decided to search "country" under the BDC Expert Mode, and found the "VCM_COUNTRY" variable, which was set to us or usa (I don't recall exact). I changed that to "ece" and... it worked! I have no idea what it changes, but nothing else about the car seemingly changed like units.

Not sure why initially it excluded the signals on the inner (trunk mounted) lights, when everything else was working. But after changing that seems that everything works. Haven't tried out the brake force thing though it is (partially?) coded. Next step is to source some EUDM tails!

None of these parameters worked. Using BimmerUtility change car config type to EU -> Save -> VO Code ONLY the rear tail light modules.

It will work!

When I try to VO code the front headlights they throw all sorts of errors, and flash my drls, so I only recommend VO coding taillight modules with new parameters.

If anyone else has a G20, I can just send a copy of my taillights file!

Hey I've tried to do this via BimmerCode, but couldn't find the options as mentioned.

DO you have any instructions to guide on how to do the EURO tails via BimmerCode?

Thanks.

Fiddled around using BimmerCode, and the code worked as expected.

Use BimmerCode & BimmerUtility, or Esys.

Under the BDC Module in expert mode, there are four groups labeled as LaMaster 1-4. The relevant ones are identified by LA1, LA2, LA3.

The values you'll need to adjust are found after the "|" in the lines below:


LA1

C_BLC_PRE_ENA | 1
LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y | AFS


LA2

C_AFS_ECO_LEVEL_3_ENA | 01
C_AFS_ENA | 01


LA3

LUT_AFS_CODRV_HOR | standard/init
LUT_AFS_DRV_HOR | F040_G005_AHL...
C_CLC_CURV_V2 | 23
C_CLC_CURV_V3 | 28
C_CLC_EXT_ENA | 01
C_HBA_DIM_ENA | 01
C_HBA_GFHBA_ENA_V_HI | 3C
C_HBA_GFHB_ENA | 01

There are also four additional codings in the lane assist camera "KAFAS04" which are currently inaccessible with BimmerCode. However, BimmerUtility or Esys is available for these changes.

——


The below adjustments are expected to reduce the auto dim's sensitivity to streetlights and sign reflections, while also tightening the beams. The High Beam Assistant (HBA) should still perform exceptionally well even without these changes.


C_FLA_COUNTRY_WITH_MULTIPLE_REFLECTORS | 01
C_FLA_US_SENSITIVITY_MODE | 00
C_FLA_BS_ENTER_THRESH | 03
C_FLA_BS_EXIT_THRESH | 02



Let me know if you have any questions !

Hey Calvin,


I have done all the coding as mentioned, but to check whether it works or not. I did put the car on D and the left beam did not move in or out.
Tried to put it in R, and the beam did not move.

Is there something I'm missing?

Also, you stated S5AP must be enabled, how can I enable this using BimmerCode?

Thanks for your input.

G20 LCIs do not swivel horizontally, only vertically.

You will not notice a change in start up animation or in different gears like the older G20s with Variable Light Distribution.


You can test anti dazzle at speeds above 20 MPH when auto headlights and auto high beams are on.

If you want to lower the speed to enable anti dazzle I can share that code with you.

Hey Calvin,
Let me take it for a spin at night and check if it is working.

However, my car already has the auto high beam
Is the anti dazzle different from auto high beams?
is HBA same as anti dazle?

When you mention change in startup animation?
how does it differ after the code? Any video illustration of this?

Also, could you please share the code for lower speed anti dazzle?
That would highly appreciated.

Thanks.
