Yes they do the dance. They dance better than me [emoji54]

There could be differences but I'd bet there isn't because all of the other lighting mods I've done have not been any different (ie. dynamic turn signals, SSPL, DRL only on with auto, etc.)

4B module & AFS lighting options questions

4B module & AFS lighting options questions For those of us that have played around with 4B and the options available for enhancing the AFS lighting under Long Coding, hoping someone can shed some light on some of the options and what they’re doing/function: Byte 10: When headlight...

I was incorrect on modules. Here's what I had to do to get it working. Just three changes.

In module 09:

Find "Fernlicht_Assistent" and go into that menu.
6. Change "Erweiterte Fernlichtsteuerung" to AFS FLA Fernlicht (GLW:MDF).
7. Change "Menusteuerung Fernlichtassistent" to present.

"Menusteuerung Fernlichtassistent Worksteinstellung" needs to be present as well. Mine already was.

I'm module 5F:

Go to Byte 15 and change that to 40 from 20.

Then do the Basic settings adaptation.

That's it. You don't even need to touch 4B

So I'm using the OBD11 app and not VCDS so keep that in mind but where in module A5 can I find byte 15? Long coding?

Also, when you say do the basic settings adaptation, are you referring to the "Resetting of all adaptation values" under the basic settings option?

I'm kind of hesitant to do this because the changes you made were slightly different than the changes @ice4life had to make which is baffling since you both have 21's.

Yeah, it was the long coding. No idea why Ice's was different than mine. One I gave him my long coding though, his worked.

And unfortunately, I don't know how the ODB11 works. I've always used VCDS.

No problem, so I think that byte 15 changing to 40 is probably what I'm seeing here in the app. Do you agree?

I found that modules 9 and 4B both have options for "Basic headlamp setting" and "Acknowledge basic setting" but since you said there is no need to access 4B then I assume it's the options in module 9 I should be changing. Under module 9 basic setting < Basic headlamp setting there is only option to select and it's simply called "basic setting" and it's already selected. Same thing under module 9 for basic setting < Acknowledge basic setting and it's simply called "Acknowledge basic setting" which is already selected too. Is module 9 the one I need to do this basic setting adaptations for?

Here is partially what I'm seeing under module 9 < basic settings

110069


and here is under the "basic headlamp setting". Basic setting is already selected.

I got everything else set to go. The last piece of the puzzle for me is how do I do the basic setting adaptations?

So, there isn't any resetting of the MIB unit or anything else like in the 19 and 20 models?

When you go to 4B, select basic settings. Then go to the basic headlamp settings and slide the slider on the bottom. Then go to acknowledge basic headlamp settings and slide the slider at the bottom. Then go to the faults section in 4B and clear it even though it’ll say no faults. If you need additional help DM me and I’ll walk you through it.

Thank you, I will try this tonight and see how it goes.

They work! My dynamic headlights work! Wow these thing are amazing! I didn't realize they'd be this cool. I was always satisfied with the American spec headlights with the side to side rotation, cornering lights, and auto high beams but man these things are on a whole another level. Yeah they wrap around other cars from behind but they seem to dance all over the place but in a non blinding other drivers sort of way. They will even shoot up and light up overhead and side road signs as well if not too close to other cars. Of course, if any sort of overhead ambient lighting is detected like a street light they'll revert to standard low beams but you still get the side to side and cornering lights.

I will note that for some reason I had to make a small change in module 4B. For me I went into "Headlamp basic setting" and then I enabled bit 6 on byte 10 and then ran the basic settings again. That allowed for the head lights to do their spread apart and come together routine when running the basic settings. I still had errors afterwards like "light assist error" and "dynamic cornering light error" but when I shut off the car and actually started it and drove it, the errors disappeared altogether and everything just worked.

Quick question, do our lights supposed to turn left and right with steering wheel? I have the SEL P but havent notice my lights move through cornering at all. Will just have to activate Dynamic Light Assist and call it a day.

It should unless you have something turned off in the lights settings? I do know that with DLA activated my headlights seem more sensitive and turn more than just 15 degrees. They also will actually follow the curve of the road before I even start to turn the wheel. Not sure if that's navigation or camera based.
