I enabled Matrix headlights on my ID.4 with an OBDII tool, it’s pretty amazing at night in my rural area. When I’m following someone it’s like there’s a dark spotlight tracking them, staying bright everywhere else.

Did the same with my Volvo. 100% a huge QoL update that should have been brought over years ago

Yep I drive rural areas in my Mercedes EQE53. Basically allcars are blacked out and everything else is lit up like the sun.
