Coding "Speed Limit Info" and "High Beam Assist"

Dear coding experts,
My F20 is equipped with Lane Departure Warning and Anti-Collision Warning, so: Kafas2 camera. :thumbup:
As my F20 is older than June 2012, I have read that I can enable SLI ("Speed Limit Info") and HBA/FLA ("High Beam Assist") without any FSC code, but I have not been able to. :(

Has any of you successfully enabled any of these features? :rolleyes:

Thank you!!

What exactly did you do to try and enable SLI and HBA?

For HBA, you will not have the proper Stalk with HBA Switch to toggle HBA on and off.

Thanks for your answer!
Those are the parameters I have modified:

KAFAS2
SLI_ON_OFF F15_to_II01 = 01
COUNTRY_CODING_DISPLAY ECE_white = 00
UNIT_DISPLAY km/h = 02
FLA_ON_OFF FLA_on = 01

KOMBI
SPEED_LIMIT aktiv = 01
KI_PIA_SPEED_LIMIT aktiv = 01

HU_CICHB
HIGH_BEAM_ASSISTANT aktiv = 01
SPEEDLIMIT_INFO aktiv = 01

FEM_BODY
FLA_AKTIVIERUNG LDS_in_A_oder_2 = 02

I am able to toggle HBA on and off from the "Lights" menu in "Settings".

Why are you attempting to FDL Code these two which require many settings? You should add both option codes to FA and VO Code car.
 
#6 ·
Yes, I do. HBA, and SLI in particular have not only many FDL Codes that need to be set, but exactly how they need to be set varies base on Country Controller and other variables. Something this complex should be VO Coded to ensure all FDL Codes are set and set properly.

I would add 5AC and 8TH to FA, and VO Code those same 4 Control Units. It will take you 5 minutes, and you will know with certainty when you are done that it was properly coded.

I think though for SLI, since you have KAFAS2 and not KAFAS, you will still need FSC Enabling Code, even for your pre 0612 Build Date.

Hello, I am from Saudi Arabia and I want to activate SLI for my BMW 640i 2013
VIN: WBA6A0108DDY66854

Can anyone do this for me remotely?

Yes, it will wipe out all previous FDL Coding, but it is simple to come back afterwards and FDL Code them again.

KAFAS2 is newer, and probably is Technically improved over KAFAS, but added security came with it.

You cannot purchase the FSC Code as far as I know. BMW AG won't sell it.

Hi, ap90500, today it stil showing "--- ---".
As shawnsheridan says, perhaps I need a FSC code, although I have seen some other members to enable HLA and SLI without it.
Anyway, if I cannot purchase the code... how to get it? Is it impossible to update this features?

Thank you, experts.

SLI Does need an FSC code on Kafas2 it is part No 65502184753

I have tried to purchase it in the UK and have been informed that it is on a very long back order.

I have also tried from BMW in Hungary but same response

I am now trying to code High Beam assistant but same as Shawn said earlier I dont have the stick, as yet I have not had any luck whatsoever with coding it.

Does this also need an FSC code Shawn?

:dunno:

Stick is not necessary to get hba working.
Just need to code frm to use hba automatic on , and it can be turned on when lights to 0 and back to Automatic pr full light.

If you use automatic and it switched lights on then it should enable HBA as well.

Well, it must be issued by BMW AG for your VIN, I can point you in right direction. PM sent.

I have G20 (pre LCI) with 5AS (DA), 5FD (ACC) and 5A4 (mid tier LED with extended scope) but without 5AC. (+5AL,5AQ)
Afaik it means I have KAFAS only. I have the HBA button, but no ConnectedDrive Store in my country and the dealer is reluctant to answer quesions around enabling HBA for me.
After my research I believe, that I would need FSC code to enable HBA in KAFAS, so only adding 5AC to VO and additional coding won't be enough.
Do you have any suggestion?
 
#29 ·
I need help too please 🙏🏻 HBA not working on g20
What is full story? Car did not have factory HBA and you coded it? What is car VIN (last 7)?
 
#34 ·
I have a g20 LCI with autonomous driving so I assume I have the cameras but my country has connected drive restrictions so no 8TH option for me either.
Would I be able to enable the codes mentioned here and get it working or will I have to do the FSC code thing (which seems too advanced atm to try for me)
Thank you

AppID 335 (0x1AD) - Right way warner
AppID 336 (0x150) - High assist premium
I guess I need 14E, is it possible to get it? Also High assist premium sounds interesting, going to research that too.

Where can I get relialbe codes, thanks in advance.

Hi bimmers, I currently have factory KAFAS2 with SLI AppID 126 (7E) enabled in my F11 - 2014 (vin: D341922) I wanted to ask what are my options to enable AppID 190 (BE) & AppID 191 (BF) as they don't currently have the FSC codes and are showing as available options in E-sys. Is there a way to generate them and also do I just need to upgrade the FSC in order to get them working.
 
#45 ·
You can add both BE and BF FSC Codes and Code the associated functions, but the FSC Codes cannot be generated, they must be ordered from and issued by BMW AG.

Hi there!

I'm kindly asking for help with the activation of HBA on my BMW F40 (2019). It is equipped with Lane Assist and SLI. I've already retrofitted the switch stalk with HBA Button.
Activation of HBA in connected drive store is not available for me, altough iDrive is telling me that I should buy the feature. Dealer has no clue.

Thanks in advance!
 
#51 ·
you can get HBA working even without this button.
But VO code also NBT-HU or what ever radio you have.

if you want it automatic you need to change it i think on FEM/BDC (FRM in F11) something names FLA_AUTO_ACTIVE -> automatics

Thanks for your answers. Unfortunately I had no luck doing so.

BDC_BODY3 - BODY DOMAIN CONTROLLER
---------------------------------------
D91495: No message (object data for the glare-free high beam assistant, 0x1CE), receiver BDC-ZGM, transmitter KAFAS

KAFAS4 - CAMERA-BASED DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEM
---------------------------------------
800A21: Unknown fault details

These two errors show up in DTC.
Do you have any further ideas?

BimmerUtility should do the job, right?

BU Can both VO Code and FDL Code ENTRYNAV2. I have no idea what your issue is doing either one.
 
#57 ·
No idea what you are talking about. BU can VO Code or FDL Code any ECU excluding new SecureCode 2.0 ECU, which is not case here.

You can also VO Code HU for 5AC with just Esys and PSdZData Lite.
