I find the main beam assist feature on my S6 a little tedious and would prefer it to just be manual (as it is when the light switch is not on 'Auto'. Is there any way to disable the full beam assist whilst still being able to use the 'auto' lights function?

Thanks in advance,

I'm puzzled. Are you asking to disable the automatic low beam/drl toggle while still having the same automatic in place?
Or, as another question, where's the difference between "main beam" and "full beam"?

Hi possibly UK terminology that is confusing. Main beam = Full Beam.

I have full beam assist which automatically switches between normal headlights (what i call dipped beam) and main beam when the lights are in the automatic mode and there is/isnt oncoming traffic. This is the function i would like to disable. I would like to just be able to switch between dipped and main beam manually using the stalk.

I can currently do this when the headlight switch is on the manual headlight setting. I would like it to do it when in the auto postion - which will mean the car will still switch between DRLs and Dipped headlights when it gets dark.

Hopefully that makes sense?

Thanks

Is there not an option to turn off the high beam assist in the MMI?

There may be on other vehicles but definitely not on the 4F A6 MMI 3g.

Okay, got it. I am pretty sure you can remove the „Light Assist“. Could you post an Auto-Scan for better understanding of what control modules are in your car?

In module 20 (which is basically the Light Assist module) there should be adaption channel #1 and #2 which allows setting the "Low Beam Speed Threshold" and "High Beam Speed Threshold".
Check the values and modify them so that the High Beam speed threshold is below the Low Beam speed threshold.
If the module does not allow setting it to a speed lower than the Low Beam speed threshold then try setting both to the same value.

Default values are most likely:
Low Beam Speed Threshold (Adp #001) = 27 km/h
High Beam Speed Threshold (Adp #002) = 57 km/h

And change it to:
Low Beam Speed Threshold (Adp #001) = 27 km/h
High Beam Speed Threshold (Adp #002) = 26 km/h or 27 km/h

This should do the trick. If not; maybe removing module 20 from the GVL does good.

Thanks, I will give this a go.

I have a suspicion however that main beam assist will still be active by changing the trigger speeds (i.e. no manual switching of high/low beam) but the assist will also not switch low to high either.

I will try anyway though.

Cheers,
Steve
