MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[shiners]

Might have to wait for next issue then, you sure you don't get a pop up box?

Another vcds change that might already be standard On Gtis but I know it's something that needs activating on other models, but do the wingmirrors drop when you put it in reverse?

The pop-up box is there but VCDS gives no clues as to what actual code is required, for confirming a change in the adaption channel of the ABS module.

Also meant to add - the passenger door mirror does dip on my car... after I enabled it

Nice! Did the interface offer you different degrees of dipping, ie can we get it to dip slightly further?

 Sorry, it doesn't. It's a case of "Active" or "Not Active" for that option. Apologies for not being able to explain in more detail. I'm away from home computer just now.

Buddy, you set the dip amount yourself, up to the maximum allowed by the physical mirror movement.

With the mirror switch set to "L" select reverse, and the mirror should dip. Whilst in this mode, adjust the position to suit using the mirror controller (to maximum dip if you want), then when you come out of reverse and move forward over 5mph, the mirror returns to its original position, however your recently adjusted settings are now saved.

Gives no clue? When you go to put in the security code a separate window or balloon should pop up with the code. If you click in the line where you enter the code, does nothing pop up, like when you hover over something a description comes up?

Thanks Norbreck, this is useful info that I didn't know - I guess I shouldn't have speed read the handbook so quickly!!

Norbreck, what software are you using with your car. I didn't get the Battery channel, but managed to find the battery display under "No voltage". Just wondered if we were using different software.

Is there a way to activate the second LED from the bixenon, like is in the Golf R? Or it's a different hardware?
