Thanks for the tip. Curious but does that necessarily mean that a message (or idiot light?) has to actually appear on the dash for it to be stored in the Dash memory?

We both didn't get any dash messages. So does that mean it automatically rules out the LKM?

No. I got lots of problems but, as they are not OBD related, no light.

BTW (hijack alert) weasel... I always wondered, what is this all about? (Paragraph in lower right corner of page)
But as to the sensitivity of the auto headlights, it is set through car and key memory with the old version V44 on the GT1 or any version SSS.

Day 4 without the X5. Oddly enough I really miss it and the 2009 528xi leaves something to be desired.

Heard from my SA today, and he said, "Your car is kicking our ass."

I knew the X5's were tough cars, but I figured it would just be a quick bulb switch. The shop foreman is on the job and he said they have almost replaced everything. The light will start working and then it stops working again, so in the end I will probably have a whole new headlight assembly on the driver side.

My closing comments were, "Um, just to triple check, I am covered under warranty right?" My SA paused for a little while, and I simply said, "Crap." And finally he said, "I was messing with you, you are covered." A sigh of relief was lifted off my shoulders!

You made ME almost crap! :D :rofl: I'm pretty sure my problem is the stepper motor but we'll see.

I am curious to see what it is. When the lights were turned on it would actually go through the initializing sequence (Up, Down, Left, Right, etc). And the headlights would move when I moved the steering wheel. Its just that the actual light would not power on, but both AE's and DL on it would turn on.

Because doesn't the stepper motor just put it through its sequence? I doubt it would have anything to do with my Dinan software would it? Who knows?

Maybe the initializing sequence is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B. :rofl::bustingup

See my problem is the opposite of yours but only with the driver side HL. Turns on but won't move up, down, left or right. :rofl:

I get the car back tomorrow morning! YAY!

Quick overview of what they did was replace both Headlamp assembly's and also reprogram both control modules. Not sure of what the specific modules that were reprogrammed are.
