Cross Eyed BMW

ApolloAudio · 12-28-2015, 04:40 PM

So, I've been reading the forums here and others, but I have found no answer.

Driver's side headlight unit was replaced twice after a front end collision. Once from the wreck itself, and once because they let condensation in at the shop and killed the module for the adaptive headlight. Finally get the car back, no errors, and it auto adjusts on startup like it should.

Fast forward and a buddy of mine notices that the headlight is aiming way to far to the right. The headlight itself seems to be pointing as far right as it will go. No errors, no wobbling like there's a disconnected arm, and it does auto adjust itself that far.

How the hell do I calibrate the left\right throw of the headlight?

Hopefully the adaptive module isn't fucked up. I would try disconnecting the headlight and battery for 10 minutes and see if it resets itself. If still nothing, maybe try recoding the adaptive feature...?

Did they recode the LMSC and RMSC modules?

See, that's what I'm thinking they didn't do. Wasn't sure if there was a calibration process or if it had to be coded.

I guess this gives me the motivation I need to learn the coding side of things. Or hunt the local forums for a coder

Yup! It's super simple to code. Make sure you don't get overcharged!

Did you ever get this fixed? After a cic retrofit and coding it both my lights are facing inwards...
