Well... sorta. They are here but not via pcna. I found some people in the forums who helped me activate the lights on my car. I paid extra for the active matrix hoping that someone would be able to activate them and I'm glad they can on my 2023 992.

I'd love to know what it takes to enable this. Please PM me if you're willing to share. Thanks.

I'd also be interested if you can share. I have all the hardware on my car (PDLS+ and the traffic/signage camera), PIWIS and other scan tools too, but haven't found what exactly to code to enable it yet.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not seeing the active matrix functionality equivalent to ROW cars. It looks more like auto high beams to me?

Rennology

Interested in this. Please PM if you're willing to share

dogshyne

do you have the active matrix now? there is a distinct difference between auto highbeam and the variable higher light output with shading around cars in front of you that result from reprogramming your lights. they are pretty amazing driving at night on a dark road that isn't so dark anymore...

Super interested in this as well! Please PM if you are willing to share the details! Does this require the traffic sign recognition option?

I forgot to add, the pattern and start up animation change as well. I'll get some video of that and photos of the pattern and post here as well.

I sent out some pm's but pls pm me if you are curious as its easier to reply. ha.

thanks!

I do have them, and I can see that difference. I'm not seeing the rest of the functionality I've seen elsewhere though - most importantly the shading of oncoming cars even when the high beams are on. I could just be missing it, but it was pretty obvious when I saw it in ROW. That's not to say the coding isn't cool!

you have to have ordered the Active Matrix LED lights when you got the car.. the $4K option. If you don't have those I am not sure if you can retrofit beyond that.. but I heard a rumour that you might be able to once you swap some equipment.

Why so secretive? Ask the peeps that activated them for you if you can post their info on here. RL'ers want to know.

I know for a fact even with PCNA support you can't retrofit Matrix headlights in North America - it's been tried - with PCNA support and dealer instructions - and they abandoned the process as "infeasible" after a number of days working on the problem w/Factory and PCNA support - if you don't get it as part of your order I would not plan on getting them physically retrofitted

I would however be very very interested in existing vehicles with Matrix Headlights can be activated in north america - if it can I have 3 vehicles for which I'd want it done…

Probably because the OP wants to sell the service to activate, but isn’t a paying sponsor?

I filmed the startup animation the lights now give as well as the pattern once they are on which is different from what they originally were. see attached:

I know you mentioned MY 2023 but can this be done on MY 2022? I have the upgraded lights but would like this functionality. This would be on a turbo s if it makes a difference.
