Default Automatic High beam assist feature not working

What package must you have in order to have this feature and/or enable/disable it? I have a prestige with LED headlights, and on highbeams currently it does not detect oncoming headlights and therefore doesn't lower them.
I could not find an option in the MMI for this feature setting and therefore figure it has to be standard or part of some package.
Did i miss something ? Does the A7 even have this feature ?

This option is not available in the US, assuming that's where you are from.

Ok yes Im in the US. Thanks for the quick reply! would have driven me crazy.
Also i notice that if I check the efficiency it shows my mirrors being heated for no apparent reason. Any way to turn that off?

Check the position of your mirror adjustment **** on the driver's door handle.

I have a 2013 A7 prestige w innovation pkge. Does any one know how to enable the High Beam Assist. My car has the camera behind the rearview mirror as it has the active lane assist. I assume it should just be some programming to get the camera to recognise oncoming traffic and dim the headlights. Why on earth would Audi NA disable this feature for US mkt just nuckleheaded

Is that something that could be turned on via Vag Com?

My guess is, for whatever reason, it has something to do with current U.S. certification requirements.

Any update on whether VAGCOM can enable this now? As I understand it, the Matrix lights are now here and cars with the lane assist LOOK like the OUS cars that have highbeam assist. I wonder if we could compare VAGCOM setting between cars with LED pre-16 and post to find out.

I suspect that besides coding, there could be additional sensors required for the hi beam assist.
