In many countries, auto-leveling of high-brightness lights over 2000 lumens is obligatory.
Personally I think it is a very good thing to do too. Bright Xenon and LED headlights, when not adjusted and regulated properly, can be very annoying.
Be aware, that this is only for the OEM Xenon and OEM LED headlights. It is not for halogen headlights!

This is a topic to help installation, since it is not very difficult.

Material you need:

6R0 941 273 B sensor for the rear axle
6R0 907 357 module for AFS J431
6Q0 612 405 bracket for brake tube, to mount the sensor on.

Mounting position of the AFS module is above the glove box (LHD) or behind the steering wheel (RHD).
You need the bracket (part number to come).

Mounting position of the sensor is under the car.
Take a look where the brake hose has a coupling piece at the rubbers of the rear axle, on the left side.
This coupling piece is also a bracket, where it is connected to the chassis. This bracket needs to be changed for the 6Q0 612 405 bracket.
For this, you need to disconnect the brake hose, shortly. This is dangerous fluid.
You can mount the sensor, heat shield up towards the exhaust, on the new bracket.
The arm of the sensor goes to a mounting point on the rear axle.

The wiring is not so complicated:

CAN powertrain wiring to T26 of the module J431 and wiring from module J431 to sensor G76.
Module is powered by terminal 15, ignition switched power.




Module is connected to T14 of the headlights. It is the same for OEM LED for 6C and OEM Xenon for 6R.
Look in the pictures for J431 (T26, 26 pin connector)





The wiring loom is not difficult to make yourself.
You need 2 connectors:
4E0972726 26 pin connector with micro quadlock system
4B0973712 4 pin connector for sensor with micro power timer
The connectors in the headlight (T14) are all micro power timer.
do not forget to seal the connectors with, for example, 357 972 740 E for the micro power timers.
you will need to seal one hole on the sensor connector which is empty. use 3C0 972 841

VCDS:
enable module 55 (xenon range) in the canbus gateway (module 19)
appropriately code the xenon range module for RLS, start/stop etc.

If everything is wired correctly:
If you start the engine, and low beam is on, you will see the lights go up and down. this is the reference run.
This is an indication that all is wired well.

I sit in this topic to help if necessary.

great
it's definitely a great place to start
but quite a "summary" (such as those usually ciclo) can you have?

I'm very sorry but such a guide, I think I will not make it.
ciclo always has beautiful guides because he makes many, many pictures when he does it.
My car had AFS from factory, so I didn't retrofit it and don't have pictures of the process.
But, for sure, I will add some pictures to demonstrate where it is.

the guide if I succeed, I'll gladly
There I was wondering if you could have something like:

which it makes it easier to understand the connections than the "boards" of elsa

ps a picture of where the AFS is appreciated

I may have rebuilt the connections:
AFS:
pin 2 can H - slot 19 bcm
pin 3 can L -> slot 18 bcm
pin 7 -> pin 4 sensor
pin 11 -> pin 1 sensor
pin 10 -> pin 2 sensor
pin 15 -> pin 1 headlight DX
pin 20 -> pin 4 headlight DX
pin 21 -> pin 2 headlight DX
pin 22 -> pin 3 headlight DX
pin 16 -> pin 3 headlight SX
pin 17 -> pin 1 headlight SX
pin 18 -> pin 4 headlight SX
pin 19 -> pin 2 headlight SX
pin 23 -> slot 15 fuse box
pin 24 -> ground

It seems few the connections to the BCM
I missed some cable?

No that is correct only two wires to the bcm, can hi and can low.

I guessed all connections
I'll have to "take back" by this thing

ps
when you can put me a picture of where you should put the AFS exactly?
thanks

This is a retrofitted AFS:

xenon 6R diagrams ++

Thanks to both for different photos
They seem to "places" easy to reach to work

I'm thinking of taking this adapter cable already finished

what are you saying?
ps there is also for the headlights

Share the links to the harnesses.
This topic is very interesting for other users.

A Tip:
The CAN_Bus connections need not be necessarily attached in BCM white connector, which is a difficult place to splice or join cables, these connections (high and low) can be spliced on CAN_bus powertrain, for example, instruments panel (K), ring (G85), etc... these CAN_bus cables on this devices already are in connection with CAN_bus powertrain.

I knew that there is also in the radio zone can
but since I have to get to the bcm for other connections, I thought, to do everything there
for the links I had put them out of laziness, I had pictures in the phone, and I put those [emoji29]
They are fine as adapter cables? what are you saying?
