MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

Ok thanks

I tried coding DRLs to 100% on sidelights as well but it's not accepted. Put it down to me having coded the headlights to Scandinavian DRL (i.e. dipped beam is always on).

Honestly mate there is only a couple of letters different between the sentence I did at first that didnt work and the one that does, it even states the same number that the DRLs are set to and everything. Have another look

I have dreamt this or did I see somewhere about how the Mode's (Sport etc) can alternate when you push the mode button multiple times on the newer golfs? Surely we can set this by vcds, anyone know?

[Mark V GTD]

Yes, latest production Golf's do indeed toggle through the modes on screen with repeated button presses....

thats the words im looking for - Toggle 

Right well, even if I actually dont mind the settings i have now it would be nice to see how it feels toggling and i cant believe its anything closely related to hardware changes so we must be able to vcds it?

'Toggle' is a great word - no idea how to adjust it to do that though - would be good to find out :-)

Just an update. My light switch is off and when I turned the car on today in bright sunshine the instrument cluster was lit up. Went through the underground car park and I'm sure the cluster stayed lit. Will try it tomorrow with switch set to auto.

OK - I have now tested this about five times or so - when the lights are set to 'off' in daylight and you go through a tunnel or underground parking garage they instrument illumination stays on for a few seconds and then fades to completely off (and does the opposite on leaving the unlit area. This confirms that the instruments are indeed illuminated during normal daylight use (with lights off)

Has anyone got the DRL led mod to work with brightness at 100% on sidelights? I tried it (covered a few pages ago on this thread) but it wouldn't accept 100 as a value?

Thanks.

Yes I have my side lights coded to 100% brightness and they work fine, also still dims when indicating.

I followed the instructions on the MK7 VCDS wiki page.

Help please if possible

I have a 2014 (November) GTI  (2015MY)

I have made some changes i.e. Diff to Strong, made the inner lights active etc. with no problems.

But I cannot find in the list - Battery state or anything to do with battery condition. to set battery SOC.

VAG-COM accepts the change from 3 blinks to 4 blinks for lane change, but it does not work.

In enabling Byte 10 to make the fuel added option work, I find that bit 4 is missing from tick boxs.

I also cannot get the "coming home lights" to work automatically.

A lot of VAG-COM stuff has been added by VW to this car as standard, it seems that they have removed some options as well, any help would be appreciated.

I have a Ross tech CAN-HEX usb cable and the latest software.

Thanks
