Al Pinã: You can easily see that many people are starting to get annoyed by your consistent approach of “coaching” people when they ask questions with answers like (go read the manual!), (this has been answered before!), (can’t you type it into YouTube!)….

Dude just leave people alone. Some folks prefer to ask (what seems to you) simple questions. If you don’t want to answer them, leave them alone and do not offend them. Be nice to people. U don’t need to act like you are the smartest in the room and others are stupid for the questions they ask!

I second that after seeing it happening repeatedly!.

My order in BMW Garage shows manual rear shades on my order but I'm pretty sure they should be electric. Is this wrong?

The low beam pattern still funny but clearly BMW is doing some updates to the headlights via new software, albeit slowly.

BMW announced a new OTA update on Oct 11th but my car hadn't received it yet and got it while being serviced.

I'm having my winter tires put on the first week in November. Out of curiosity I just called to see if there's a software update the dealer has available for me and if it enables anti-dazzle. The service advisor couldn't tell me over the phone what was available; he said the tech needs my car there physically to scan it. He did say he hadn't heard of BMW enabling anti-dazzle.

Are you able to take a video of your anti-dazzle feature in action? To be clear, I'm not implying I don't believe you, I just am used to showing up at my servicing dealer and having to school them on what I want/need. I'd love to be able to whip out a video.

I'm really curious to hear if BMW is enabling anti-dazzle in the US and if the US version of the LCI has the same hardware as the EU spec. I was under the impression that, even if you enable anti-dazzle in the US, the effects are subpar because the US version doesn't have all the necessary hardware.

That might have been the case in pre-LCI model, especially with Laser headlights. This may no longer be the case with LCI model, as Lasers are no longer offered, and only Active LEDs are used. But we won't know for sure until someone examines both region's headlights.

I think it's safe to say the anti-dazzle has not been enabled given only one person is claiming such. There would be many more data points if true.

I agree maybe just stirring the pot

So I am not sure if this is anti dazzle and I have only driven my 23 X7 at night two times now. But I when the high beams come on the light starts inthe middle and then fans out to the edges.

In other words it’s turning on the LED matrix in the middle first and then the others towards the left and the right next.

My car spent 37 days in QC and I just picked it up Thursday of last week. It was never in stop sale.

Is that anti dazzle? I haven’t really paid much attention to tunneling around cars etc.

Either way I think it’s pretty bright and it’s plenty for driving at night.

I did not have the laser light option in my 2020 X5 that I just traded in. So this appears to be an upgrade from the old lights I had anyways. I don’t know if laser lights did the same thing or not either.

And yes I notice the dark pattern of the lights. But it doesn’t bother me. Only really noticeable when you’re going downhill.

Maybe mine came out of QC with AD enabled?

Mine does the same thing. Anti Dazzle will blanket the car in front of oncoming cars. It will light up the area around it but not the driver

anti dazzle coupled with auto high beam will have the high beams coming on and activating around oncoming cars and cars in front of you.
i had it coded on my X3, you could see the light pattern changing as you encountered other cars on the road.

aside from that, the biggest telltale is that highbeams wont turn off completely when encountering other cars, parts of the beam will turn off, but the high beams themselves will stay on.

I will have to look at it more at night. Now that I know what to look for.

Either way they are way brighter than the ones I had in my 2020 X5. However I did not have the laser light option so I guess that’s better than I had so it’s fine with me.

that video is what you should see if NGHB has been enabled

Excellent! Will take a look. Thank you!

Since I am being called out for possibly stirring the pot, I'll take a video of it so y'all can see. I'll try and get one tonight. While the particular stretch of road where I notice it activates the most, and is most visible for viewers, isn't on any planned routes I had for tonight, I know of a few other roads where it kicks on every time I drive them at night.

I hadn't opened the Bimmerpost app in a bit so sorry it took me so long to read this.

Not a problem at all. Living in the city it's not as easy to find nice stretches of road where it's as clear as it is in some of the videos online where you can clearly notice it deactivating one side while lighting up trees on the other, but there is a raised highway area where you can see the different high beam LEDs on the wall adapting to traffic around me. Hopefully I can get a good video of it.

So I have a video of it doing it's antI-dazzle thing on the Highway in Texas with cars around me but I don't know how to upload a video. The app let's me attach pictures but not video.

Help?

Also my iDrive is running SW 07/2022.57 I cut that out of the video bc the image was all wobbly as I was tapping through the screen to get to that info.
