Got my OBD11 today, I had already bought a Nexus 7 to use it with and changed the rear brake lights to full(inner) the DRLs to 100% with lights on, fan speed to show when set to auto.

One other thing I did was to turn off the soundaktor and boy does it show how loud the Bridgestones are, the drone from the rear of the car especially was very pronounced.

Now for the bad bit, not sure what I did but my active headlights don't work. They don't turn with the steering and they do the little dance thing when the car is started. They still do the dip down and back up bit though. Any ideas of how to fix?


Thanks

Not sure why your Dynamic Cornering Lights are no longer working, I did same lights mod as you and no issues. Have you checked they are still ticked in the CAR menu:  CAR - Setup - Lights - Dynamic cornering lights.

Bit cheeky to link to another forum, but lots of other coding for various adaptations here.  http://www.vwroc.com/forums/forum/84-obdeleven/  Any thread with the word 'Coding' in brackets is tried and tested.

To be fair I think it may have been something else I did in the headlight part of OBD11

Is there any way of resetting the lights to factory?

Expect you'll need to reverse any coding you've done, should show up in the history log on your OBDeleven app.

Already done that but still no luck.

You've not inadvertantly switched to 'eco' driving mode have you?

Just a thought - I know it affects some of the cornering light functions (although it might only be the static functions that turn off).

Finally got my BBS SR wheel refurbed - absolutely spot on finish. Can't even tell it was done.

If anyone needs work doing around Lincoln, I can recommend G&W Bodyworks in Skellingthorpe - the local Audi dealer trust them to do all their work and that (and experience with them) is good enough for me to recommend them.

Good to hear.

I've just got off the phone about mine and it's just being checked that the match is spot on. They will be phoning me after lunch, so here's hoping all is well.
