KAFAS Camera Recalibration or Not?

I have seen some posts that suggest the KAFAS camera needs to be recalibrated after removing 5AP and 8S4 to switch back on the anti-dazzle high-beam features.

Are there any definitive opinions on this, or is it a maybe, or a not required?

I removed 5AP and 8S4 from my FA and this morning and VO coded FEM_Body and KAFAS but haven't had the chance to test at night yet to see how it operates.

I'm curious as well. I did the recode months ago but tend not to use the feature because I always get a handful of people flashing me. I can see the lights moving and turning on/off, so I don't know.

I did the same changes in my 2012 F30 335i which had adaptive xenons, and no-one ever flashed me. I am curious to see how it goes, hopefully tonight if I don't have too much wine this afternoon!

I wonder if the flashing you are getting is because the lights are behaving erratically, or if they are much brighter and having this effect because people are not used to such bright lights.
