I'll give it another shot. Realistically I don't really care as I don't see the need to ever disable it. Even if the FLA malfunctions, I can always just double click the stock and override it. Currently I'm more focused on trying to get the compass working. I made a post on another thread, but I'm leaning towards the fact that I didn't populate pin 10 (solid brown, unterminated on FZD side) on the mirror harness w/ the retrofit cable, as mine already had pin 10 populated. I tried hitting the little button on the mirror but no luck either. Do I need to code for the compass or should that just work automagically?

Edit: Apparently the brown wire/pin 10 is just KL.31 ground, so not repinning it should be fine

if compass (letters) light up, perform recalibration cycle.

if not - you may need to continue research wiring diagrams

Looking to install this on my halogen non i drive model. I understand the coding to get around not being xeaon but do I have to have idrive for FLA to work?

You don't need iDrive.

My car is xenon + non-iDrive and I successfully retrofittted FLA.

I was able to retrofit FLA. Test drove today ... I can see the little A letter on KOMBI ... also the high beam (blue sign) shows up when dark and no cars ahead but wont activate the high beam. I tested the high beam and they work.

Not sure what is missing. Any clue?

I just finished the retrofit without any problems whatsoever.

It's an E90 325i 05' with the FRM1 module. At first, when I followed the coding instructions, it seemed not to be working, as I was not getting the "A" by the high beam icon, so reseted the mentioned modules and left this as is, as I was short on time to continue working on this. I just thought it was due to the FRM1, and it would work after adding the FRM2/3 to the car.

However, on my way back home late in the evening, I switched on the high beams, and, out of the sudden, they turned off just before I saw a car approaching from the front. Accordingly, switched back on right after passing by the incoming car.

No changes on the cluster, just the regular high-beam icon turning on and off.
I have no clue whether it is indeed due to the FRM, but I cannot find any reason behind this being that way.

I am absolutely fine with it as long as it works, though.

EDIT: I have xenon lights. I have the FLA option within the CCC functions; however, I cannot activate it from the menu - it automatically switches off once I click it.
EDIT2: I am yet to figure out if I need to push the high beam lever once or twice in order to activate it.

you have too old cluster which have no FLA icon in firmware

Can it be updated somehow?

you can try to update using winkfpt
if that will not help
just get more newer cluster and transfer your eeprom and scales (if you get mph version)

Oh, definitely will try. Cheers!
