So, what coding app is the best for iX? Or they all do the same? I just checked and it looks like Bimmercode still does not support iX.

Seriously…read the last few comments. It’s pretty clearly laid out.

You can’t. The files to do so aren’t available…simple as that.

Pretty sure that's correct. TLA was not something that (at least for the US) could be coded by "VO Coding", which is all that is available for newer models currently, including the iX. It required modifying a few individual codes in several different modules, which are no longer available for that "FDL" type of coding.

I do have the older model (MGU21), iX 2022-12.

But yet no CAFD available other than HU_MGU and RAM (at least for the latest update).

But I am wondering, is it possible to pay someone to release those files?

I'm considering getting BimmerUtility w/ dongle to turn on my anti-dazzle matrix lights. It doesn't look like the BU folks will be of much help in providing instructions how to do this. Does anyone know what setting needs to be changed where in BU to enable the anti-dazzle lights? I searched this thread and could not find the information, my apologies if it was already posted.

Almost 100% certain that BU won’t be the tool for this since the CAFD files are. Ot available and simple FA coding wouldn’t cut it. You likely need access to official tools like ISTA as well as signed files.

It would probably be easiest to get it done by BimmerTech in your use case NoMo. You could use E-Sys which comes with BU to do it and then get the signed files from someone online, but if you aren’t familiar with E-Sys I wouldn’t recommend it as it is possible to really screw something up. Better to just pay to let them do it for you.

Thanks, that's probably what I will do. I thought BU was a user-friendly app that can allow us to change these things in an obvious and seamless way but apparently, that is not the case. At least not for me since this process wraps my brain up in knots.

It was reported elsewhere that using the FA editor to remove 5AP and then getting an OTA update would enable the anti-dazzle. Is that not so?

I've read similar accounts. I just gave it a go. We'll see what happens when 3/2024 is released OTA (maybe in June?)

I think that is only applicable if you are having it done at the dealer where they update every single module. As I understand it, OTAs sometimes do not include updates for all modules, which would mean that nothing would happen if the OTA didn’t include updates for the modules that control the Anti dazzle.

I had an update at the dealer to address other issues and it did not work. The OP who advised this path said he thought there was something different with how they update and relying on original VO versus OTA which would seemingly just write based on the VO in the car. Who knows?
