Hello,
The latest issue I have is that I was following a guide as shown here, here and in this youtube video to change the headlight controller from North American Region to "Rest of World" to allow them to raise slightly at highway speed.
In OBDEleven under Coding there is the option to choose North American Region (NAR) or (ECE). When I change to ECE, I receive an error from the Adaptive Front Lighting system (AFL). I wasn't terribly worried at this point since other people on the internet have reported getting this error as well. This thread is one example that shows that other people are getting the same AFL error, but suggests a method of clearing it by going into Headlight Controller [55] and performing a calibration. This is found under 'Basic settings' in VCDS. However, in the OBDEleven software app, there is no calibration available. RossTech (VCDS) shows the procedure for performing this calibration here, but in OBDEleven I cannot perform the calibration.
From that link:
Using VCDS
Make sure you're on a level surface.
Click Select Controller
Go to 55 - (Headlight Aim Control)
Go to Basic Settings - 04
Then in the drop down list, select the adaptation/adjustment option (its the only one in the drop down).
Then click the ON/OFF/NEXT button.
---- EDIT ----
I just wanted to update this thread with the solution that I found.
I followed the RossTech hint here that there is a new calibration method and it is found under "Acknowledge Basic Settings".
I tried clicking the check box in the lower right hand corner of the OBDEleven app for "Acknowledge Basic Settings" but it warned me that the setting could not be applied because it was out of order. So I went into "Basic Settings" and clicked the check box in the lower right hand corner. "Not Active" briefly went to "Basic Settings Started" and then back to "Not Active." I then went to "Acknowledge Basic Settings" and clicked the check box again, this time "Basic Settings Started" was displayed briefly, and then it reverted to not active. I could then clear the fault code under [55 Headlights] that I mentioned above as an error for ALS.
Hope this helps someone else in the future.

55-Xenon Range
Uncheck the box in coding that says North American Region Rules. This enabled me to have tourist mode capability (doesn't activate it) and takes off the restriction of 4 lights on at once.
The Xenon Range controller from NAR to RoW made an interesting change. The headlights will raise ever so slightly at faster speeds which, at least from what I remember, they do not in NAR format.
