High Beam Assistant Retrofit Coding Help?

New Member
Hello fellow T6 drivers!

I have try to do HBA retrofit but missing some coding because my car won't do anything automatic to high beams. I have a used mirror with HBA camera and correct wiring for it. I did add FLA ecu to gateway and it shows no faults and status is active but I cannot find anythin else to code, in BCM Byte 22 Bit 5 Assistent Driving Light (ADL) is also active.

Can anyone help?
 
Here is my coding if it helps.

Does HBA communicate with BCM? Checked that the following are "alive" in module 20:
IDE00075 Vehicle speed 0 km/h
IDE02515 Low beam OFF
IDE04031 Reverse gear OFF
IDE04036 High beam assistant: status active
IDE04037 High beam recommendation OFF
IDE04123 High beam: reason for shut-off 1C​

I'm afraid these are not available/documented in T6 - unfortunately. More modern BCM's can have more than 2000 adaptation channel (e.g MY19 Skoda Octavia) and our T6 has only a few :(.

However, certainly some hidden potential is in there e.g.:sneaky: ---> Cornering Lights Speed Adjustment

Hey @mmi

Mmm, the plot thickens then. After comparing the BCM coding between yours, mine & Loz's there isnt anything in there that attains to be for the HBA, so gotta be hidden within the adaptations. I'm wondering if there is any way to get a full print out of every adaptation channel from VCDS, documented or not?

Obviously peeps have changed the speed at which the HBA activates/deactivates so it must be in there somewhere :)
 
I'm wondering if there is any way to get a full print out of every adaptation channel from VCDS, documented or not?
Yes, there is. VCDS -> Applications - Controller Channel Maps pulls out all adaptation channels and measurement blocks/values (of any module). For T6 BCM the extraction is in "old format" and seemingly undocumented - similar to "Measurement Blocks" but you'll get the pieces together by comparing them by the documented ones using VCDS.
Below a few documented adaptations for BCM with their actual channel numbers... there are channels up to 99 which respond to requests and can be changed...

Obviosuly peeps have changed the speed at which the HBA activates/deactivates so it must be in there somewhere
Yes, those are documented adaptations in the HBA. And actually if you pull out these adaptation channel using Controller Channel Maps they are in different more modern "well" documented format - and almost 150 of them. So probably useful/necessary for retrofit.

Hello fellow T6 drivers!

I have try to do HBA retrofit but missing some coding because my car won't do anything automatic to high beams. I have a used mirror with HBA camera and correct wiring for it. I did add FLA ecu to gateway and it shows no faults and status is active but I cannot find anythin else to code, in BCM Byte 22 Bit 5 Assistent Driving Light (ADL) is also active.

Can anyone help?


Hey @lalle Do you get the 'A' next to the light symbol in the cluster?
 
I wonder if it need “basic settings “ or adaption/calibration before it will work?
 
Possibly
BCM byte 08: Rain/light sensor installed
BCM byte 13: Light sensor active

Does HBA communicate with BCM? Checked that the following are "alive" in module 20:
IDE00075 Vehicle speed 0 km/h
IDE02515 Low beam OFF
IDE04031 Reverse gear OFF
IDE04036 High beam assistant: status active
IDE04037 High beam recommendation OFF
IDE04123 High beam: reason for shut-off 1C​
These are correct in my van also.
My CAN wires is directly connected to BCM, just like wiring diagram shows.

Hey @lalle Do you get the 'A' next to the light symbol in the cluster?

No, nothing shows that HBA is working or active. I have seen symbol in extended cluster, does basic cluster even show symbol?

Good catch - from the factory the HBA was available only with "non-basic" MFDs (e.g. option ZEN) instrument cluster (separate round dials for coolant temp and fuel level). Also was required Auto-lights with coming/leaving home function, including rain sensor, dimming rear view mirror (option codes possibly P4A, P4B or Z4A).

I have all of those, but not the colour cluster.

OK, no idea if this will work on your cluster, this is untested as my mirror has not turned up yet but try:

09 BCM
Change the below adaptation channels from 0 to 1
channel 53
channel 54 ** this should already be set @ 1

Ok on my van I have auto headlights. What other hardware do I need to get high beam assist to work please?

As @mmi said above, "from the factory the HBA was available only with "non-basic" MFDs (e.g. option ZEN) instrument cluster (separate round dials for coolant temp and fuel level). Also was required Auto-lights with coming/leaving home function, including rain sensor, dimming rear view mirror (option codes possibly P4A, P4B or Z4A)"

Not sure yet till @lalle posts to whether or not HBA will work without the highline style cluster "non-basic MFDs (e.g. option ZEN) instrument cluster (separate round dials for coolant temp and fuel level)", again what Mmi said.

My mirror hasnt arrived yet so cant verify everything is going to go as well as I'm hoping but watch this space

Thanks, my van is a Highline, does this mean it has the non-basic cluster? I do have Auto-lights rain sensor and auto-dimming mirror.
