Laser Light Coding

Anyone local who can do this or know a reliable shop?

Only have a Mac without an Ethernet cable so remote coding isn’t an option

No I don’t want to do the 90% coding of it through bimmercode

Thanks in advance!

For people who specd laser lights on their car in the us they are dumbed down and their main feature is off due to US DOT regulations. They can be coded to work a they are meant to and as they work in Europe.

Well it's been legal in the US for almost a year. BMW isn't ready to enable it in the US. I plan on asking why during my 1200 mile run in service in a few weeks...

Oh wow didn’t know that…if you find anyone please let me know. Perhaps we can do a group coding

I'm could be wrong but I'm assuming you're talking about the anti-dazzle coding on laser lights, which adds the tunneling and moving high beams, preventing the dazzling of oncoming traffic.

I too have a mac and I've tried E-Sys coding but for the newer e-sys, the FAL coding isnt properly mapped so you'll have no idea what each entry is corelated to, unless you purchase windows only applications like BimmerUtility that help map it.

I recently coded my car with ProTools on android and it was able to code the KAFAS module that bimmercode wasn't able to access. I used it alongside the anti-dazzle coding that was discussed in other forum post and it works much better then only bimmercode coding. Its much more responsive and will turn on more often, even bright highways like the southern state and LIE.

Reach out to BMCoding in Brooklyn. I recently swapped to carbon buckets and needed to get them coded. They took care of it no issues while other companies I reached out to weren't sure if it could be done.
I spoke to them about other things they can code and the laser light anti dazzle was something they can and have done.

What devices did you need to have them remotely code it for you?

A USB Ethernet adaptor is really cheap, I don’t see how this is a hurdle.
