Default How to enable auto high beams (not packaged with the car)

my guess is you can enable the auto high beam feature. My 17 has the camera and all of that jazz from the factory despite not being optioned with it. The only question I have is how…

The wiper stalk has a roller switch you can turn to auto. My guess is your wiper stalk might not have the 'auto' setting

You also have to have the stalk pushed forward into the high beam position for the auto light and high beams to work on top of the stalk dial being set to Auto. Do you see an Auto button in the button cluster above your left knee to the left of the steering wheel? That has to be pushed on too.

Yeah, I think you are right. There is a button on the left hand side as well that has to be pushed to enable auto headlights.

I've got the roller switch on the stock however no auto button near the knee.... I'm wondering if it wasn't an option purchased with the car. Even if it wasn't purchased it looks like the hardware for it is installed aside from the knee button.

Does it say 'auto' on the top of the roller switch? If so then yes, your stalk has the notch for the auto mode. The other part Is the button in the cluster on the left hand side.

Not sure about the rest of yoos guys, but I'm not a huge fan of using this feature. In my experience, it doesn't work the same as someone doing it by hand. Stays on too long.
However, I will say that IMHO the Regular Beams are aimed way too low from where they should be - light isn't projected as far as it could. May need to play with the adjustment screws, but worried it will send them off in crazy directions! BTW Freeway - I also have a 2017 Model and have no clue what you mean by it having a "Camera?" For what?
