2018 LCI |

It's the same for the LCI as the pre-LCI, I coded BFD on my new 2018 230i loaner car.. Same parameters as the ones listed..
You must be doing something wrong.. |
Can you tell me exactly everything and every ecu that needs to be coded please? I will try again. |
What are you trying to do exactly, have the main brake lights flash or just the two inner rear fogs, while the main brake lights stay steady?
Under the two folders in FEM folder, if using Bimmercode, change these two parameters below then report back.
The rest of settings is just to adjust the sensitivity. |
Okay so it works... sort of. It only works on extreme braking when coming to a stop even though I have activation speed on 5kmh and weak braking. Thanks for the help! Just wish the weak braking and 5kmh actually did something. |
Well the idea of Brake Force Display is it only activates when the ABS kicks in, for real aggressive braking. Think of your cell phone flying off the seat when you brake hard, something like that would activate it.
Anything else would just annoy fellow motorist behind you and I believe is illegal in most US states because brake lights have to remain steady burning, under DOT rules.
If you want to adjust it to the most sensitive setting, code the parameter I listed below under the FEM module. |
so _03 is least sensitive and _01 is most? Thanks! I see what you're saying but don't understand what 5kmh and weak braking settings is doing as I see no difference from weak to heavy. |
Yes, so_03 is equivalent to 8 m/s2, which is the lease aggressive option, keyed to rate of deceleration
The "5kmh" is the minimum distance it activates from the instant you hit the brake.
The stock setting on all European-spec vehicles is actually 50kmh (31mph), which I'm not sure if that's a legal requirement but the gist of the feature is it only activates under heavy, panic braking operation. Thus, the stop lamps would not flash in routine braking situations or as frequent as you would like to have them. |
Will try _01, _02, and _03 tonight when it's dark so i can see the lights in the reflection of road signs. Will report back. Thanks again for all your help
