Coding fog lights to act as cornering lights

Hi all,

Looking to do the above but can’t find it in Bimmercode where I would expect to see it, even in expert mode.

Has anyone done this successfully and if so can you help guide me to the menu I need to be in please?

Thank you ?

So I've been trying to code this function again today since it never worked before. I finally figured out where I was having problems but not got a way to solve it.

I'm using bimmercode on android and the following lines weren't sticking after I change them and click 'OK' :
C_BLC_ENA :F015_disable→F015_enable
C_CLC_ENA :F015_disable→F015_enable


it would always default back to either 'F56_disable' or something along the lines of 'M100_disable' when I go back into it straight away after clicking 'OK'. I couldn't code it when I back out since the value were the same as before.

Has anyone had this problem when they were coding this by bimmercode?

Interesting...

I'm presuming you have a switch with the A position?

I don't, have tried the coding, but it hasn't worked, and I can still adjust my lights manually.

What coding have you changed?

Ok, you have the A position.

I understand what you mean by adjusting the lights

So can you confirm what coding you've done?

I am going to be honest I have made this :
Section 3062:
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_OUTPUT : 03
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_OUTPUT : 04

Section 3066:

KL_ENABLE_LI :KL_Aus→KL_Ein
KL_ENABLE_RE : KL_Aus→KL_Ein


Section 3073:

C_BLC_ENA :F015_disable→F015_enable (or 01 , please find this value on bimmercode)
C_CLC_ENA :F015_disable→F015_enable
(or 01 , please find this value on bimmercode)

After that, it was already not working. After doing that I probably messed even more with other codes I don't know anymore.. If I restore the bdc codes will it work? I don't mind if cornering doesn't work I just really need to adjust the heights of the headlights! Thank you for your time

Without knowing what you've changed, it's difficult to say.

Bimmercode has a limited capability to restore settings, but I think it's only to undo the last coding session for each ECU - others will be able to help you more with that.

However, if you have access to Esys, simply coding the ECU might be enough to reset the FDL coding.

But again, I'm not 100% on that.

Hello, I can't seem to get this to work. I have the auto lights, obv it's set to auto. I have the lights and rain sensor in the rearview mirror.
However, after trying these codes I still can't get it to work.
I have tried to switch the MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_x lines to nsw_l and nsw_r and vice versa. Still, no fog lights when turning the wheel. I have not been driving the car, I only rolled 1 meter or so to test it, still no lights.
Someone please help me.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, you want the fog light to switch on and off instantly, like flicking a switch, as opposed to fading in and out like turning a dimmer...

I can't say if this will sort it, but check and change the soft/hard_on option for the lights.

From here: Welcome lights fade in/out

See if any of these have _PART_OF_WL set to soft_on or hard_on, not not_active.

This is taken from the demo mode, so it's set to BMW, not Mini, but the process is similar.

Find the "part_of_wl" section for the light you want in expert mode.

If the values done exist, add them.

"Soft" on (fade in/out?) is 0x01 and "hard" on is 0x02
