Tried unsuccessfuly to get the light sensitivity setting on my idrive using the following info from the thread:
[Light sensor sensitivity settings menu in the iDrive]
Control unit: Cappl
RAIN_LIGHT_SENSOR
nicht_aktiv -> active <---- this worked - got it in the idrive setting but the setting kept defaulting to "sensitive" - This was requested by me after I bought the car to BMW to set as it I found it was to slow to auto activate. They probably set the wert_02 in the RLS module.
C750A_SCHWELLWERT_EMPFIN
par_gesperrt -> par_frei
C750A_SCHWELLWERT_NORMAL
par_gesperrt -> par_frei
C750A_SCHWELLWERT_SEHR_E
par_gesperrt -> par_frei <--- will try next not to activate these 3 setting
and vehicle application by:
FLCN + = normal threshold
+ FLCS = threshold very sensitive <---- what does all this mean ?
[Light sensor sensitivity setting]
Control unit: RLS
FLC_SCHWELLWERT_SATZ
wert_01]
wert_04] = sensitive
wert_02 = normal
wert_03 = very sensitive <----can someone confirm these values are correct ? what's setting 1 ? - if 2 is normal shouldn't 3 be sensitive and 4 very sensitive
- mine is currently on wert_02

Next,
cornering lights - it's active in the idrive but not working.
Since I retrofitted the LCI lights - do i need to add anything to the VO - was this an option in LCI's (the cornering thing) ? Any takes?

mine has many missing codes.
BTW I use WINMERGE (great tool to compare between files) and it is free.

i'm not sure if there is an FA to be added for it ,, there was a post somewhere were it shows all the FA options and the code of each option ,,
also for confirmation : cornering works only when the light switch is set to auto ,

check if you have the bulb for cornering in ur headlight , I've checked my friend's E92 335I and the bulb was not there ,,, the proper cornering was designed for the LCI , the inner reflector is designed to reflect the light to the side of the car instead of front of the car ..
