No Auto High Beams and Dash Dimmer Doesn't Work

stlb5 · 08-04-2023, 11:04 AM

I've had my '19 M2C for a few months now. Got things coded the way I want them, but through that process realized the previous owner had also done some coding. My auto high beams don't seem to be working. When I push the button on the stalk, the green headlight with the "A" pops up on the dash but the high beams never come on. We have this feature in our X5 and it works fine there. Any chance the previous owner did something in the coding to disable this?

Also, the dash dimmer next to the headlight switch doesn't do anything. Any ideas there?

You can try resetting the default coding and see if that helps.

Short update, I'm dumb when it comes to the dimmer. Didn't realize it only works when the headlights are on. There are certainly times during the day I wish the display/dash was brighter. I'm assume it's adjusting automatically off a sensor. Is there a way to adjust this?
