CIP 20 fix auto headlights?

voltron1011 · 02-09-2006, 02:51 PM

Does anyone know if the latest CIP update corrected the auto headlight issue? You know, where the headlights will be on during the day when it's sunny, but at dusk (or extreme overcast days) they don't come on? Thanks

Just have them set to the more sensitive setting

Some have reported CIP20 giving better performance on the headlights auto function

Just before I took my car for the CIP 20 update, I had set my automatic lights to "slower" and noticed some improvement. After the update, I can leave it set at "normal" and get good results.

I have noticed that the lights will sometimes stay on in sunlight if I go under too many overpasses (which would result in the headlights going off and on too many times. I guess this is a good thing as re-ignitiing the HID's too many times may put unnecessary wear on the system.

What are these updates you guys are talking about?? I've never heard of this before..

It would be nice to see a full list of new options and updated of CIP 20.0

I am giving my car for service on Monday and will keep everyone updated on my progress. Is there something specific I should tell them to do beforehand? They knew about the MP3 fix when I got an appointment..

What's the "cut-off" on the CIP20 update? What I mean is, which production date cars already had it?
