AHL2 was introduced with the E60. It requires Xenon HID or LED headlights. AHL2 varies the light distribution of the low beam.<br />
<br />
<b>Engine start</b><br />
In switch position "A" (light switch in the switch position for automatic driving lights control) and terminal 15 ON, both headlights execute a reference run. That means: Both swivel modules are moved down slightly and then to the desired position (visible when the vehicle is parked in front of a wall: The light cone moves down and then back up). The desired position depends on the load status of the vehicle. When the engine is started, the headlight driver module initially controls the city light distribution.<br />
<br />
<b>City light distribution (Town light)</b><br />
The city light distribution enables a broader illumination of the left roadway at low speeds. The left headlight is moved approximately 12° to the left and approximately 0.7° downwards. The city light distribution is activated from engine start to a driving speed of approximately 50 km/h.<br />
<br />
Pertinent Parameter:<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C_AFS_C_V_LO defaultwert = 28 (40 km/h, 25 mph)</span><br />
<br />
<b>Country road light distribution (Basic light)</b><br />
The country road light distribution is the same as the standard low beam headlights. At a driving speed above approximately 50 km/h, the city light distribution is changed to the country road light distribution. Below a driving speed of approximately 50 km/h, the footwell module (FRM) changes the light distribution back to city. The country road light distribution represents the basic setting for the headlights.<br />
<br />
<b>Motorway light distribution</b><br />
The motorway light distribution increases the range of the driving light. The left headlight is moved approximately 3.5° to the left and approximately 0.25° downwards. The right headlight is moved approximately 0.2° upward. If the vehicle speed exceeds 110 km/h for longer than 30 seconds, or if 140 km/h is exceeded, the footwell module switches on the motorway light distribution. If the vehicle speed drops below 110 km/h, the headlights are gradually reset, depending on the driving speed. This takes places in stages (110 km/h 100 km/h 90 km/h 80 km/h). The country road light distribution is activated again at 80 km/h and below.<br />
<br />
Pertinent Parameters:<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C_AFS_C_V_HI defaultwert = 8C (140 km/h, 87 mph)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C_AFS_E_V_LO defaultwert = 6E (110 km/h, 68 mph) (see timer below)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C_AFS_E1_V_LO defaultwert = 64 (100 km/h, 62 mph)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C_AFS_E2_V_LO defaultwert = 5A (90 km/h, 56 mph)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C_AFS_E3_V_LO defaultwert = 50 (80 km/h, 50 mph)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C_AFS_E_T_MIN defaultwert = 1E (30s)</span><br />
Comment = Counter Minimum for LightDistribution E<br />
<br />
<b>Fog light distribution</b><br />
The fog light distribution is activated when the fog lights are switched on. The fog light distribution can be combined with the city light distribution and the country road light distribution. The left headlight is moved approximately 8° to the left and approximately 0.7° downwards. If the high beam headlights are switched on while the fog light distribution is active, the headlight moves to the basic setting, i.e. to the country road light distribution.<br />
<br />
Pertinent Parameter:<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C_AFS_EX_FOG_ENA defaultwert = 01</span><br />
Comment = Switch to enable or disable motorway light distribution while fog lights are turned on (1 means motorway light distribution enabled).<br />

In the US, vehicle option 8S4 Variable Light Distribution Decoding actually disables (de-code) VLD. Do not remove 8S4 as it may interfere with software update performed by a BMW Center.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Instead, VLD can be simply enabled via coding with NCS Expert or E-Sys (depending on your vehicle chassis.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For my E60, I use NCS Expert and NCS Dummy to enable VLD:<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">AHL2_ENABLE = aktiv</span></div>

I was curious about enabling option 5AC HBA High Beam Assistant since the vehicle appears to have the KaFAS camera. KaFAS is the Camera Assisted Driver Assistance System / Kameraunterstütztes Fahrerassistenzsystem. The KaFAS camera is utilized by the factory installed options:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>5AS Active Driving Assistant</li>
<li>5AG Lane change warning / lane departure warning</li>
<li>8TH Speed limit info</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
However, HBA requires the presence of the HBA switch on the light controller stalk:</div>

To help identify the CIC, please see information about BMW <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDrive">iDrive</a>.<br />
<br />
If your BMW E-series vehicle is equipped with a CIC, you may be able to retrieve the 1B file using an <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/271742771778">OBD2 ENET adapter</a>. I was able to connect to the CIC on my 2010 BMW E60 using the adapter.<br />

I used an Ethernet switch because I wanted to observe the link and activity status A crossover Ethernet cable can probably be used in p<span style="font-family: inherit;">lac</span>e of the switch, but I have not tried it. For the computer network port, I set it to use an autoconfiguration IPv4 address (169.254.0.0 /16 or netmask 255.255.0.0. The ODB2 port autoconfiguration IPv4 address is 169.254.199.99 (ignition must be on).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">ftp user/pass pairs to try:</span><br />
<ul>
<li>files/remote</li>
<li>root/Hm83stN</li>
<li>root/cic0803</li>
</ul>
The file to download from the CIC is /HBpersistence/normal/generalPersistencyData_DiagnosticSWTController<br />
<div>
<br />
I used the <a href="https://mh-nexus.de/">HxD</a> file editor to extract and save the 1B file as follows:<br />
<ul>
<li>Open the downloaded file with HxD</li>
<li>Search for the Hex-values 01 01 00 1B</li>
<li>The value should be located at offset 33A</li>
<li>Move the cursor to offset 33A</li>
<li>Highlight to the beginning of the file and delete. Acknowledge file-size warning and proceed.</li>
<li>Move cursor to row 00000130 and to offset 13F. Highlight to end of file and delete. Acknowledge file-size warning and proceed.</li>
<li>Save file using the name a.hex. It should be 319 bytes. This is the 1B file for the vehicle.</li>

The method described in this blog post is for those who prefer to update the navigation data at one go, which completes in about 40 minutes.<br />
<br />
Required:<br />
<ul>
<li>Intelligent car battery charger capable of 10A or more.</li>
<li>New navigation data on USB flash drive(s).</li>
<li>FSC activation code for navigation data update. It is a one-time code specific to the vehicle VIN, navigation system type, and map region / version. Lifetime codes are not authorized by BMW and may have undesirable effect in the future. Use lifetime FSC activation codes at your own risk.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Here is the file structure of a USB flash drive with navigation data, if one is using a single USB flash drive instead of multiple USB flash drives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZQ9Ed7WY3atZndWeyKBtumyv7BGZ6lw5UPBL3Mt1qwm4Kgi0WFONdkRWxdMls85F9Xs-_PbOpiz1sp6Aq6nisHrPFrWbAbQUkUAOxiGtjyWGvtSImXiDJXK_2NCEBEwmiwwa0_n7y_E/s1600/2016-06-07_19-39-55.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZQ9Ed7WY3atZndWeyKBtumyv7BGZ6lw5UPBL3Mt1qwm4Kgi0WFONdkRWxdMls85F9Xs-_PbOpiz1sp6Aq6nisHrPFrWbAbQUkUAOxiGtjyWGvtSImXiDJXK_2NCEBEwmiwwa0_n7y_E/s400/2016-06-07_19-39-55.jpg" width="382" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Using a computer, one would move <b>pkgdb</b> and <b>config,nfo</b> from the first folder to the root folder and insert the USB flash drive into the vehicle USB port. When prompted, one would remove the USB flash drive from the vehicle and use a computer to move the <b>pkgdb</b> and <b>config.nfo</b> back to the first folder, and move the two files from the second folder to the root folder. Repeat until all data has been copied to the vehicle.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before starting the navigation data update, connect the car battery charger to the vehicle at 10A or more (eg 12A, 15A). Let it charge for about 10 minutes in case the vehicle battery is too weak or old to maintain 12V without the engine running. Be forewarned that an old or weak battery is detrimental to your vehicle alternator and electronics.

To begin the update, engage the parking brake for safety, turn the ignition on, but do not start the engine (keep foot off brake or clutch pedal), To conserve vehicle battery energy during navigation data update, turn off DRL, interior light, audio, climate control, and any other accessories.<br />
<br />
Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port for data update. It is the USB port in the glove compartment, or in the center console if there isn't one in the glove compartment. Once the USB flash drive is in the correct port, the vehicle will detect that it contains newer navigation data.<br />

<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhd.flasher.n54">MHD Flasher N54</a> is the first Android handheld application to bring ECU tuning and monitoring to the BMW N54 engine. The MHD Flasher reveals the immense margin of power BMW left on the table with the N54 while still retaining the sophistication of the original engine management program.<br />
<br />
Cable required is a K+DCAN USB cable. The USB port of the cable requires an OTG adapter to connect to the micro USB port on the Android device. Bimmer Software sells <a href="http://bimmersoftware.com/cables">tested cables</a>.<br />
<br />
It will read your stock ECU and "save" it. If the stock ECU is recognized by MHD, saving it will take only a couple of seconds. Otherwise, it may take an hour or more to read the stock ECU and save it on the Android device. Restoring the ECU would take a while, as an ECU write has to be performed, either from the file on the Android device or from the MHD built-in ECU library. After the first write of an MHD built-in map, switching maps (eg from 93 oct to 91 oct) only takes a couple of minutes.<br />
<br />
The MHD Flasher built-in maps are provided by <a href="https://plus.google.com/115989850282511979561/">Wedge Performance</a>, already known for their BMW N54 engine tuning. The first write of a MHD built-in map took 39 minutes. An intelligent car battery was used at 10-amp, to prevent the car battery from running low. Turn off power to any vehicle features to conserve vehicle battery, eg audio system, daytime running light, climate control, interior light, etc. When the Android device is writing the ECU for the first, time it will take a while. Turn on the device Airplane Mode after it starts writing the ECU in order to conserve device power. While the vehicle ECU is being written, do not operate any features or doors on the vehicle!<br />
<br />
Logging options:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Not needed: Boost PSI, STFT 1 and 2.</li>
<li>Needed: Boost setpoint, timing correct cyl 1-6, LTFT 1 and 2.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<a href="http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=19795028#post19795028">Estimated engine output</a>:<br />
<ul>
<li>Stage 1 pack. 2 maps included (Stage 1, Stage 1 + FMIC). Each with 4 octane variants (acn 91, 91, 93, 95), 340-385 hp.</li>
<li>Stage 2 pack. 2 maps included (Stage 2, Stage 2 + FMIC). Each with 4 octane variants (acn 91, 91, 93, 95), 370-430 hp.</li>
<li>E40 map. 40% of ethanol, 440hp.</li>
</ul>
Those are conservative, crank numbers. For instance the e40 map made 400whp on a stock car and would make more on a full bolt-on car.<br />

BMW Lead The Way software runs on Windows (tested in Windows 10). It has the ability to display traffic condition, weather (may be deprecated by Google), gas stations, parking, airports, BMW service, route preview, and to include/avoid highways and toll road. Software works with BMW NBT and CIC navigation systems, but CIC systems require coding to enable route import (NAVI_TRIP_IMPORT).

Do so only if the light output from the LED is comparable to the original incandescent light bulbs.<br />
<br />
Note that LED in continuous on mode (tail light or brake light on for long period of time) without sufficient heat sinking may suffer a reduction in light output. The reflector in a housing for an incandescent light bulb is not designed to reflect light optimally for multiple LEDs not located where a bulb filament would be.<br />
<br />
I used a <a href="https://www.blogger.com/p/equipment-list.html#lightmeter">light meter</a> for light output measurement. The lux measurements were taken during a cloudy moon-less night. With the vehicle exterior light off, the light meter reading was zero. The light output reading was taken on axis at both the right and left side, at a distance of about 1 yard / 36 inches / 0.91 metre, on axis as much as possible, varying by about a 1 foot / 12 inches / 30 centimetres diameter cicle to capture the highest output. The best side is reported.<br />

With parking light, 216 lux; without parking light, 202 lux (headlight off in both cases).<br />

Manufacturer LED light output ratings (lumens or lux) are meaningless by themselves. The LED light output measurement should be measured when installed in the reflector housing. It is this application that one will discover that most LED do not produce as much light as the conventional incandescent bulb. LED marketed as CAN bus error free will still trigger a lamp malfunction message in most modern BMW vehicles, due to their sensitive lamp electrical load monitoring system.VKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17940633087391969128noreply@blogger.com0
