I find PDLS+ hopeless, it gets it right maybe 50% of the time. My question is though, how do you not flash a car in front of you when PDLS+ is on, but on low beam? Pulling the lever back flashes the high beam, pushing it forward turn the high beam on.

So how do you do it?

Pushing it forwards should put it into 'Auto' and it will then switch off high beam when it detects a light in front of you.

Yes that is right, but when it is in auto mode, how do you get it out of auto mode without flashing?

Which car do you have ? I have it on my Cayenne, works really well and doesn't get fooled by road signs etc.

2016 Cayman. Mine gets confused with road signs, reflectors and struggles to pick up tail lights when coming up behind a car.

I thought about this but haven't tried it.

It should work well; have you had any work done on the car in respect to the camera in the windscreen?? Replacement windscreen? The camera has to be aligned and commissioned before it works correctly.
