Lane Change Assist has not yet been implemented.
At least not in my January production car yet.

 

This is so EFFED up! It even says in both my paper manual and online manual that this function is available, and it gives me specifics on how to do it.
Why would something be in a manual but then not available on the car, especially now that BMW manuals are tailor-made to the options that your car has!
I am going crazy over this, I was really expecting to have it...
Or maybe, there is an option in the car I have not seen or something that I have not activated...

 

The fact that it isn't there in USA/Canada doesn't necessarily mean it is not there in other countries. The BMW Belgium website states that it is included in the "Driving Assistant Pack Plus".

"Bovendien maakt de Lane Change Assistant zelfs een automatische verandering van rijstrook mogelijk."

Translates into "Furthermore, the Lane Change Assistant enables to change lanes automatically."

It is of course possible that there is an iDrive setting to enable it.

 

I'm going crazy over this. There is no setting to enable on the Idrive. I will be checking this with my dealer asap.

 

I'm curious to hear about this as well. The vehicle I ordered comes equipped with the lane keeping assistant (and associated lane changing assistant) as well. Or, let me replace "comes" with "should come", in that sentence.

I'm gonna warrant a guess and say that if it doesn't come equipped it means that for your vehicle to have it you'll have to bring it to the dealer for them to enable it for you at a later point in time. Not very convenient.

 

Guys, I don't think the X3 has Lane Keep Assist. I'm looking under Drivers Assistance Plus package:

Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go maintains your selected speed; it also uses radar to keep your pre-selected distance from the vehicle ahead and bring your vehicle to a complete stop, if needed - a useful feature in stop-and-go traffic. Also included is Collision Mitigation: if the vehicle ahead suddenly brakes, you are alerted and, if necessary, the brakes quickly engage. Active Driving Assistant is comprised of 4 active safety features: Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, City Collision Mitigation, and Pedestrian Protection. These camera- and radar-based systems help prevent or reduce the severity of pedestrian and automotive collisions by using a combination of driver alerts and automatically priming and/or activating the brakes.

 

Guys, I don't think the X3 has Lane Keep Assist. I'm looking under Drivers Assistance Plus package:

Lane keep assist (assuming that means 'automatic steering') is there, lots of videos are available showing that. It is part of that package. But indeed the BMW website doesn't mention it

 

Right...we actually just took delivery of the 530e. I got to try out the lane keep assist, its pretty nifty!! I tried to drive it into the shoulder, and the vehicle slowly steered me back into the lane. I wouldn't trust it as self driving though ( I know its not intended for that).

I wish my X3 had the DAP package.

I haven't tried the auto-lane change feature. Something tells me its not available in the US.

 

Here's a partial VIN of a recently built X3 M40i (for the USA market) with "Driving Assistant Plus" - 0y97011.

If you enter that partial VIN into the https://www.bmwusa.com/owners-manuals.html page, you'll find that the "Steering and lane control assistant" is in there.

Steering and lane control assistant

Concept

Video: steering and lane control assistant incl. Traffic Jam Assist

The system assists the driver in keeping the vehicle within the lane. For this purpose, the system executes supporting steering movements, for instance when driving in a curve.

 

I checked your owner manual (for your VIN) and indeed Traffic Jam Assist is in there. But there is no mention of the Lane Change Assist (which is present in my manual - VIN LB60208).

 

My cars owners manual says the vehicle has soft close doors and a default setting to keep off upon restart the start/stop system. Wrong.

 

Hi,

I have also ordered a G01 with "Driving Assistant plus" in January and found out after signing the contract that all G01's produced before April '18 are not approved in Europe to use "Lane Change Assistant". According to BMW it will NOT be possible to retrofit the car with the with functionality after april even though the hardware is in place.

Due to the missing functionality, I am currently in discussion with my dealer how I can be compensated and his suggestion is right now to add a Nav Business to the car. I am pretty much disappointed that my dealer doesn't inform me correctly about the missing equipment during the sales process and right now I am afraid that there are other equipment which is missing...

Dealers really don't know anything. Its an unfortunate truth that I've experienced over and over. Your best best is to search/post on forums like this

 

Do you read this some where? I also have ordered the Change Lane Assist.
MTIA

 

I have spoken to my dealer who has talked to BMW.

 

I found it, I coded it and it works great.
If interested, PM me.

Requirement are:

- G series Car
- 5AT option
- Section on your car manual saying that car is capable to do it

Case closed.

 

What modules are used for coding on BMW? I know VW/Audi use VAG Com but I'm not familiar with this car.

 

Good News i wonder if it can be coded on cars built for the US with 5AT

 

Nice, this is pretty cool!

 

Guys,

I thought I could handle some PM's, but among all forums I am submerged with messages.
I wanted to control the way this is coded for many reasons:

1. You messing up your car.
2. Did not want people to make profit with this on their "Coding Catalogue", which I saw floating around. I have spent almost 3 full weeks browsing my CAFD files, convinced that the solution was in there.

So here is the solution:

Requirements:

- G series Car
- 5AT option
- Section on your car manual saying that car is capable to do it. To be more precise, this section is soon after the Lane Keep Assist section, and it looks like this:

http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/attachm...1522905464

CODING :
C:\Data\CAF\CAFD_00001C7A_002_240_003.ncd
SAS10
C_SWA_Vorhanden -> True

C:\Data\CAF\CAFD_00001EF6_006_028_018.ncd
HU_NBT_EVO
Spurwechselassistent -> Aktiv

Good luck, and I hope it works out for you like it did for me and my G01 with I-STEP S15A-17-02-502:I also would like to thank the editor of this youtube video (Ber T), because I found some leads just by looking at it.

you're swamped because your holding a wealth of knowledge, thanks!
