How to code to turn off daytime headlights?

[John8]

Is there any coding for this? I know I can turn them off on the panel but I often forget and would prefer not to have them on during the day.

Turning this off on mine in Idrive, doesn't show up. ?

Daytime running headlights? You can turn those off through iDrive

Sorry, I have been looking for it but can't find it, how to turn them off.

Daytime running lamps doesn't show up on mine under Exterior lighting.

What country are you in? Some places it's illegal to turn them off.

The US, Arizona. I see that many cars do not have daytime lights here, including current year and recent years. I noticed this when I finally disconnected the daytime lights on my FJ cruiser as it would eat through headlight and I just put in LEDs and didn't want them to burn out. So I disconnected the circuitry for them and not they work when I turn them on. So not required here.

I do have Bimmer Link installed. I wonder if this changed it?

I had to use Bimmer Code to turn on the ability to turn on or off the daytime lights. Now it is working like I want it to.

I’ll try to look it up tonight. I know I had it turned off at some point but then ended up preferring the look with them on. Hopefully I didn’t dream this up

I have them off now. Used Bimmercode. With how much I drive it and the expensive replacement and knowing how my FJ Cruiser that did have the constant on went through lights, I can't see it. Also, the safety it provides is a low %.

I know you turned them off already through coding but maybe for the benefit of the search. This is what I was talking about, I had this unchecked so everything stayed off til evening obviously:
