Coding light distribution

I have some issues with coding the light distribution on my M235i with premium package (without HBA)

In the spreadsheet, it says coding C_AFS_ENA from nicht aktiv to aktiv. However, I don't have this option


Same issue when I need to code LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y from 9C 9C B0 to 9C 9C 9C


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

FEM_BODY 3073 C_AFS_ENA "00" "01"
FEM_BODY 3073 LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y "9C, 9C, B0" "9C, 9C, 9C"

I have done some test and it's working really great in the city. The beam is wider. However, I haven't seen any difference on the freeway. Should I do something more?

you need to go over 68MPH for the one on the freeway to kick in

I was doing 70MPH but maybe it's not easy to see the difference.

ya it might be hard cause it will only point 25% further

but the 30mph change is very noticeable

I ran into the same thing, my menu items were different than just "nicht_aktiv" and "aktiv".

Does the description matter any or is it really what the Werte says that's important?

For example I changed the Werte from 00 to 01, but the description stayed as "F020inaktiv, F020disable, etc..."


You can select from the drop down "F020enable" and it changes the Werte to 01 automatically, so I guess that's the same thing as changing form nicht_aktiv to aktiv.



Same on the second part, you can change the Werte value or you can select "F020Codierwert mit AFS" and it changes the values to 9C, 9C, 9C automatically.

Alternatively, an easier way to code the VLD and HBA is to remove 5AP and 8S4 from your FA and then VO code FEM_BODY and KAFAS2. All five entries in these two modules will automatically change to aktiv, but do go back and check if they are.

Also confirm
HU_NBT => 3000 => HIGH_BEAM_ASSISTANT => aktiv
KAFAS2 --> 3050 --> FLA_ON_OFF => aktiv

Won't VO coding change all other coding you've done to FEM_BODY? Or am I confusing that with something else?

Yes it will clear all your FEM_BODY coding but if the dealer ever update your software the VLD will still be on... if you FDL code it everything will go away...

just change the werte values... the description will update automatically once you save the file

actually HBA can't really be coded if you don't have the hardware, so that people don't get confused... what can be coded is the anti-dazzle HBA if you have HBA which is removing 5AP like you said and 8S4 for VLD

The new coding worked great last night, can definitely see the lights moving once you pass 30 MPH. Cool mod, thanks to those to found this!

Anyone know if the headlights can still be adjusted per normal procedure with the light distribution coding? Or does it change how they should be adjusted?

Not sure... i would assume they adjust the same way with the engine off so the VLD doesn't kick in and then VLD on is going to be relative to when the VLD is off

with VLD turned on, the left headlamp is supposed to illuminate more to the left side of the car, right? because it turns to the left when the engine starts and only moves towards the center when highbeam is on or when the vehicle speed exceeds 30mph.

Yeah, I believe that's how it's supposed to function.

Is it possible to adjust the height of the lights to make the beam lit the road further?

Are you guys definitely noticing the highway mode change at > 68MPH? I've been trying hard to notice it but I can't tell a difference at this point.
