FAL lowering and raising speed limited was successfully adjusted.
Confirmed by @mda thanks.
Looking now for the Matrix activation speed from 40mph to lower speed.

If the standard 992.2 LED-matrix headlights have features similar to the previous optional LED-matrix headlights, after re-programming you'll get to drive with your high beams automatically on all the time at speeds over 30 km/h (18.6 mph) as long as there are no overhead lights (e.g. street lights) that provide adequate road lighting.

@rnlst_log Sent you another message. Trying to figure out if its worth ordering the matrix lights on my upcoming build before the freeze date if you can code them. Thanks

I do have FOMO, but I actually don't mind the appearance of the regular base lights as they are unique in their own way. But if they is some advantage to the matrix lights or if they are or will be codable I'll spend the money for them.

Oncoming and preceded vehicles will be "shaded out" although perhaps not as precisely as is done by the HD LED-matrix headlights. You should also have road sign illumination and glare reduction and increased high beam distance lighting at speeds a bit over 70 mph.
According to the specs on the configuration page, the standard LED-matrix headlights on the 992.2 have additional features that the previous optional LED-matrix headlights didn't have such as dynamic headlight leveling instead of only leveling at startup and "Coming home/leaving home animation". The previous optional LED-matrix headlights also have an "Encounter light" feature that brightens the lane being driven in when encountering vehicles on 2-lane roads. I don't know if the 992.2 standard headlights have that but you might be able to tell by looking at the "Canada only" verbiage in your owners manual.
Bottom line is that it's totally worth it to get the 992.2 standard LED-matrix headlights reprogrammed to be fully functional.

Wow great work! As someone who has the new matrix headlights I've been following @f4bones and his teasing of finding a solution. I'm very interested in having this done on my cab. I'm assuming it requires purchase a PIWIS rig and a charger. It's sad that we have to basically hijack our own cars to get functionality the rest of the world enjoys.
