Can someone with a Gti and vcds have a look at the xds settings, I remember on the FR's they were set to normal but On the Cupra's they were set to strong, it'd be the first thing I'd change
Doubt that very much Craig. Just updated my ETKA and they are now showing another Xenon headlight assembly with LED indicators, so presume this is the R version (as the videos of the R show the indicators being full width LED versions). So would guess its only this version that has the double DRL's.
OK so first post for Coding (as earlier posted).
Did a bit of digging around with VCDS, and enabled a few options. Most are in German from the adaptation channel labels, so I need to brush up on my German, but did find a couple of interesting bits.
Enabled a hidden menu in the MFD to show the amount of fuel (in Gallons) used since the last fill up (seems to be to the nearest Gallon), but thought it was cool anyway:

For those that want to enable this:
Select [17] Instruments
Long Coding - (Function 07)
Go to Byte 10
Enable bit 4
That's it.
Also, from the central electronics module, i've added rain closing for the windows, and use of front fogs (as well as the DRL's) as Coming home and leaving home. Look well cool.
These can just be enabled from the adaptation channels drop down. Note, that the central electronics menus is password locked, so you first need to go into Function 16 (Permissions), and enter the code 31347. This then gives you access to the central electronics menu.
I'll be deciphering a little bit more of the German text over the next few days and will have another play. What I really want to find is the following:
Alarm Chirp on lock.
Somehow getting the telephone contacts menu into the MFD.
Getting the climatronic settings to display momentarily on screen when something is adjusted (like the MK6 / Scirocco platform did.)
Getting the mirrors to fold and unfold with the keyfob (rather than ignition on).
Getting the coming home lights to activate automatically (rather than having to flash main beam).
Some or all of these may / may not be possible, but I guess as more people start playing around with the MK7, we'll get to know over the coming months. If I do manage to enable any of the above I let you all know, likewise if anyone else knows how to do any of the above just shout up.
Added automatic rain closing:

:grin: :grin: Thats a strange feature. Whats the likelyhood that your going to forget to close the windows when its pissing down?
Sounds good, but excusing my ignorance, how does it know it is raining ? Is it the rain sensor behind the rear view mirror that triggers the wipers, and does that stay active all the time ? Have you tested it somehow ? Thanks
Is there a code to allow the rev counter and speedo instrument needles to sweep when the ignition is turned on?
I know this is enabled on the GTD/GTI from the factory but its not on the GT.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.
Yes, I have seen "Staging" (needle sweep), as one of the instrument adaptation channels (at least on my instruments module), and obviously mine is already enabled, so would assume this could be done for GT models as well ?
^ **edit** thanks MH, beat me to it.
With regards to the alarm chirp for KESSY (keyless) enabled cars, then the alarm chirps either when you lock the car via touching the handle, or via locking remotely by using the fob. Basically, either way works.
I disagree. The reason they god rid of the chirping was because most cars chirped far to loudly. The VW one is a soft, quiet noise. I had it enabled on both my Mk6 and my Tiguan. Will definitely enable it on the Mk7. It is really useful when the boot looks closed but isn't as you get the noise of locking but not accompanied by the chirp.
Folks,
cannot describe how chuffed I am to have found this page :smiley: :smiley:
..... been searching in Vortex and ukmkivs ..... no luck at all. :laugh: :laugh:
To contribute my share, I have consolidated what have been discussed. So that anyone like myself looking for MK7 tweaks is able to benefit from the great works you guys have put in!! (hope you guys don't mind..... :grin:)
1. Amount of fuel (in Gallons) used since the last fill up
Go into [17] Instruments
Long Coding - (Function 07)
Go to Byte 10
Enable bit 4
2. Password to unlock [09] Central Electronics Menus
Go into Function 16 (Permissions)
Enter the code 31347
3. Disable Seatbelt Warning
Go into [17] Instruments
Adaptation Channels -> function 10
Select disable seatbelt warning (Gurtwarner deaktivieren)
change to "yes" (default: none)
4. Setting Fog Lights as Coming/Leaving Home
Go into [09] Central Electronics
Go into Security Access and enter 31347
Look for the German text under "Comfort-Illumination"
Set the new value drop down to "Fog Light"
5. Display the battery charge level or SOC (state of Charge)
Enter [17] Instruments
Go to adaptation channels, (no need for a security log in with this module)
Scroll down until you see Battery Charge > simply change it in the new value drop down to "active" and it's done.
Usage
Switch the ignition off, then press (and continue to hold) the trip reset button in the middle lower of the instrument panel. It will cycle from first resetting the trip to 0 miles > show "Time" to allow you to change the clock > then keep holding until say "Battery".
Release the button and display SOC for a few seconds before returning back to the main screen.
6. Automatic rain closing
Go into [09] Central Electronics
Go into Secuity Access and enter 31347
Go to adaptation channels and set the following:
- (15) Access Control 2 - Regenschliessen_ein aus (Rain Closing on / off) - Select Active
- (16) Access Control 2 - Regenschliessen_art (Rain closing Type) set to Permanent
- (28) Access Control 2 - Menuesteuerung Regenschliessen (Menu Control Rain close) – Set to Active (enables the menu in the ifotainment screen)
7. Alarm beep on lock / unlock
Go into [09] Central Electronics
Go into Secuity Access and enter 31347
Adaptation channels, and you are looking for:
(1)-Acknowledgement Signals -Akustische Rueckmeldung entriegen (un-lock acoustic feedback)
(2)-Acknowledgement Signals -Akustische Rueckmeldung verriegeln (lock acoustic feedback)
Set one or both to on if you wish.
Then set the following to "on"
(7)-Acknowledgement Signals -Menuesteuerung akustische Rueckmeldung (Acoustic lock menu)
This enables a menu setting in the "car" settings, "Locking" menu of the infotainment screen to set alarm chirp on or off when locking /unlocking the car and have the option to switch it on or off from the head unit.
8. Gauge sweep
Go into [17] Instrument
Coding -> Function 10
Byte 1
Enable bit 0
9. Side mirrors fold?? (under investigation)
With regards the mirrors, there are a couple of options and the one that interests me is -
(24) Access Control 2 - Funk Spiegelanklappen Modus (mirror folding in remote mode), Need to have a bit of a play around with this one to see if the possibility of unfolding on keyfob press (rather than ignition) exists ?
10. Change XDS interaction to strong
……. Cannot find the steps… oops! :0)
Not tired this one myself (yet :grin:), but got this from over on the German Forums. As you know when the mirrors are folded in, the puddle lights are switched off until they are fully retracted.
Using this option apparently enables then to illuminate even when closed and through the whole of the folding / un-folding process.
Might be useful for some.
Can be found in the Door control module [42], Byte 1, Bit 5 (untick).

Basically yes. Irrespective on which method you have chosen for them folding i.e. either via the action of locking the car via the key fob / KESSY, or manually via the folding mirror position on the mirror adjusting switch, when in the folded position, the puddles lights in the mirrors are disabled. As soon as they unfold, they illuminate (again either via the ignition on or via the door switch).
This "tweak" apparently allows them to illuminate at all stages of the folding process (i.e. mirror position independent). However, as the lights are actually in the base of the mirror housing (rather than the mirror base), when folded the lights don't shine downwards but rather along the car's length. It remains your decision as to whether this is how you want them. Me personally, I'll think I'll enable it, as any light is better than none, and it can also act as a marker light for the side of the car and should look quite cool having them on whilst the mirror unfolds (like they did on my Scirocco).
Basically yes. Irrespective on which method you have chosen for them folding i.e. either via the action of locking the car via the key fob / KESSY, or manually via the folding mirror position on the mirror adjusting switch,
does it mean that the side mirrors can be folded/unfolded via pressing the remote key fob (lock/unlock)?
if so, any chance to have the steps?
many thanks....... :rolleyes:
Anyone recommend one at a decent price or a decent dealer?
Tech Support referred your question to the sales team. The answer is that we expect to make the MicroCAN able to speak with the Golf 7. However, we are not going to "see" the Golf 7 in the US until sometime in 2014. That means, at the moment, the MicroCAN does not speak to Golf 7. We do know that the HEX+CAN style interface does "speak" but does so with very limited support. Our colleagues in Germany are trying to get full access to one so that we can begin the work on it.
To get any data from a Golf 7 right now, one must use the most recent Beta version of VCDS because of it's support for the UDS/ODX protocols. Unfortunately, we do not know all the details and until such time as we get our hands on one, we are not going to be able to add a lot of support. By 2014 mid-year, I would expect our support to be much more full but .... that still remains to be seen. One never knows what surprises the VAG engineers have placed in the new models.
If you select the option "fold when parked" from the cars "mirrors" menus, then locking the car (either via key fob or KESSY), causes the mirrors to fold on locking. Unfortunately unlocking the car doesn't fold them out again. This only happens when the ignition is turned on, and currently there seems to be no way to change this.
Of course there is also the option of disabling the "fold when parked" option, which means the mirrors just fold and open when the mirror switch is moved to the appropriate position.
I'll have a quick look later.
Because I'm such a nice guy :laugh:, I made a small video of the puddle lights enabled during the whole mirror closing process for anyone that's interested ?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/58190042@N03/10323827805/
BTW, rather than link the video, is there a way to embed within the thread ?
What I did find last night when I enabled this was 2 things.
1) in the English version of VCDS I have (12.12.0), there are no labels on the Bytes in the label files like they are shown in my earlier image. On the German Version they are there as someone translated them. In any case, just go into long code helper and untick Byte 1, Bit 5 and you are done
2) this needs to be enables for either door controller. Seemed a bit weird last night when I just did the drivers door one, and that stayed on, but the passenger one didn't, until I realised that bit 5 needs to be deactivated within both door controllers.
I'll have a quick look later.
Hi Norbeck21a..... did you have a chance to look at the turn signal adjustment? (think this is a mint feature to have...) :rolleyes:

Yes, it's in the adaptation channels in the central electronics module - (2) - Turn Signal Controls. Default is 3, add can be set as high as 5 flashes.

Cool video - Thanks Norbreck. Are you keeping the puddle light change on?
I still can't understand why the lights were not fitted into the mirror bases, rather than the mirror housings, as the bases are fixed and don't swivel, so the lights could be on all the time without issues.
Anyone recommend one at a decent price or a decent dealer?
If you just want it for your car, buy it via Gendan

So do they match the headlights?
take it back to the dealer and get them to do it as they should have asked what service schedule to use before delivery.
MK7 XDS Adaptation channel in the ABS Module. Mine is set to Standard and I just left it at this.Hi Norbreck21a, I'm new on here and have been following this thread and your work with interest thanks. A question for you - Have you tried altering the above settings to see if the ABS module will allow you to make the change? The reason I ask is that this module asks for a security code when you try to confirm you want to change the setting, for example, from Standard to Medium or Standard to Strong etc. I'm not sure how many other options in the Adoption channel for this module are security coded. My car is a Leon FR184 which shares very similar electrics to the Mk7. It could be a SEAT thing I guess but not had any issues with the other tweaks you've done.
Options, Standard, Not Activated, Weak, Medium and Strong.

If you go to the module and click on security access, VCDS usually brings up a dialogue box with the code. At least it did for me on the 09 Central Electronics module.I tried that before my initial posting and VCDS offers no security code for the ABS module.
It was 40168 for the MkVIThanks, might give that a try.

It's the latest release. 12.12. There is still a lot of work to be done on the Mk7 by RossTech to access all the functions on the car. A lot of it is to do with communication, as different protocols are used compared to the Mk6 apparently.
I'm using 12.12 also. Earlier versions other than 12 (Beta), won't even read modules in my FR184. I would guess the same in the Mk7s?It's the latest release. 12.12.

Sorry doug, meant shiners software not yours
Might have to wait for next issue then, you sure you don't get a pop up box?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.
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?
Also meant to add - the passenger door mirror does dip on my car... after I enabled it :grin:

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

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?
Checked again tonight - No clues and no pop up balloon when you hover over the box for the security code so I guess a job for Ross Tech.Might have to wait for next issue then, you sure you don't get a pop up box?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.

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?
Doug, VCDS 12.12.0
Very strange. So am I, but when trying to code the driver's door module, which has the same part number as yours, I get a totally different screen in the long coding helper without all the descriptions. The coding is similar but not the same. I think it is time to do some measurement blocks and send the whole lots to Ross-Tech Support, as there are a lot of label files missing. Got to do our bit for software development... :wink:
Yes, in London and happy to help - but you need to come around to the east side of the North Circular I'm at the bottom of the M11 A12 A406 junction

I only want to make a couple mods on my GT which are the instrument needle sweep and the close windows and sunroof on rain sensor activation; I'm particularly interested in the latter as don't want soaked seats like I had in my old Seat once!
Reason for the post is that a mate of mine has a VAG-COM/VCDS 12.10.30 Diagnostic HEX Cable + software and I am wondering if this will work on the MK7 to make the mods. I have had a good hunt around and cannot find a definitive compatibility table, most of the screen shots I've seen here are using 12.12.
Thanks for any help, just wanted to check first before I mess anything up.
can this be done via vagcom?

Hi guys this thread has been very helpful. Been waiting ages for something like this. I am looking for the following if anyone has found the coding for them yet....
1. There is an advanced "advanced settings" menu that you can activate on your radio, which allows you to enable alternate frequency search... Apparently a fix for bad radio reception reported on some MkVII.
2. I have installed the rear view camera, but am struggling to find coding to display it on the screen.
Can anyone help???

no special code for rear led lights as far as I know. I retrofitted them to my mk7 1.6tdi and no coding needed. But inner turn signals are not working for the plug and play installation. You need to wire outer signals to inner ones.
Hi, I have my GTD but not labourer then a I.T chap, can any body up date my car with some of these changes, needle sweep and side mirrors closing, I will pay you for your time. Will be willing to travel an hour either side of of Nottingham ( dwn ta Bristol and up ta Manchester) will pay you for your time :-)
was also interested in the dash that shows how many gallons used , also windows and pan roof close on rain detection, front take me home lights stay on once locked or opened and I sure there are other things as well.......who lives where :huh:
Hi,
I have a weird situ here after applying some of the tweaks.
Locking/Unlocking confirmation via Honk has been activated, and been using this without a problem.
yesterday, I used the spare key to lock/unlock the car and there wasn't any sound at all. Then, I switched back to the original key for locking/unlocking, I could hear the honk.
Does it mean that I have to use the spare key to re-do the tweak again?
Thanks,
Do you get a tick box to turn off the bleep on the car user menus (like you do on the Mk.6 after activating it)?
You’ll have to tick that box with the other key in – the keys remember settings during their sessions only, so you and the wife can have 2 keys that each set up the car completely differently. Has been this way with keys for at least 8 years on the foldable fob type key.This proves how great forums are for learning stuff! I had no idea about that.. in fact its only me that drives my car and I have a habit of alternating between the two keys (OCD thing to keep wear and tear on them equal). About a month or so I changed my door unlocking settings and could not figure out why they had reverted back to how they were before after a week or so - obviously I was using the other key!. Thanks again for the info - great stuff!
Hi,
I can't seem to find the text to change the headlight washer frequency, I've looked up and down the adaptation list several times now.

can you translate these please?
Hi,
someone from the HK VW forum posted 2 photos showing "Fault Start-Stop" on Infortainment and MFD!
According to the driver, he uses the functon when he hits traffic jam (believing SS will save a bit of juice) and switching it off other times. He is a daily driver ...... HK has a very similar traffic as London and other big cities around the globe.
what i am trying to say is ..... it would be great to have such function disabled permanently (via VCDS if possible). Otherwise, there will be more reported cases coming.
Been trying to post the pics onto here..... but fruitless...! Bxgger! :sick:
staging or needle sweep has got nothing to do with HVAC.
Hi,in your original post you said he replaced the climatronic a/c panel and then miraculously managed to enable staging. the two are not connected in any way. staging is taken from the version and part no of the speedo clocks and nothing else. his clocks must have been able to have staging anyway. SO you are incorrect unfortunately.
A friend of mine retro-fitted a MK7 climatronic A/C panel onto his Tiguan, and he managed to activate "staging" after installation.
I couldn't find this feature in nether adaptation nor long coding of HVAC .......
anyone has any idea? :angry:
My coming home feature doesn't seem to come on unless I flash the full beam first. Any way to change that?'Coming home' is normally only activateable via VCDS these days.
anyway of stopping my media defaulting to the cd player instead of the Ipod as soon as I start the car?
the voice activation is rubbish anyway. I'm going to have the voice button mute the radio when I get my laptop fixed.
the voice control whilst far from perfect is certainly better than it was in the MK5 Golf or the Scirocco with the RNS-510. Don't know if that was down to the head unit itself or the placement (quality) of the overhead mic, but it was bloody frustrating non the less.
When I was driving and I wanted to say change the album playing on the SD card or Ipod, I would hit the voice button, wait for the bong then say "SELECTION" (so far so good), then the current album playing would be displayed on screen with a number against all the tracks. If I wanted to come out of this album and go up a level (say for instance I was listening to a specific Queen Album then wanted to come out of this one to see all of the albums by Queen), I would say the command "UP", and it was supposed to take me up a level, however try as I might, it would always respond with "MAP", then take me to the navigation screen. I tried saying the work softly, loudly, with an accent, holding my head up near the mic, but it would only work (sometimes) if the car was at standstill with no road noise. Frustrating to say the least, and the same for a lot of other commands.
At least in the GTD it recognises the commands about 90-95% of the time correctly and allows me to enter an address for navigation, browse the music collection, dial a number etc. The only problem is that it's a bit clunky, not very quick and you have to speak the commands correctly. Perhaps in the next generation of voice control VW will crack this ?
Not sure any of the usual VCDS 'tweaks' actually get you something that is a cost option on any VAG grouo car...
Audi charge £70 for the tire pressure sensor and thats enabled by vcds
On the wife's previous Polo 6R, we paid £30 off the option list to get "static cornering lights" which we thought was dedicated additional lights in the edges of each of the front fog lamps. turns out they were just standard fog lights and it was indeed a tick mark in the coding. :angry:Does that mean it can be enabled on my old Polo Bluemotion (2011) ?
They had me once, but not again. I'm up to their tricks now !
can someone without have a see if its just a case of changing the steering wheel coding roughly shown here http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/a6/voice-control-VW-Golf-JSW.htm

ooo will have a play with that tonight :) -- good find :)
Thanks for trying mate, don't mess with the Long coding, who knows what it will do. I shall do some more googling and comparing codes tomorrow when I'm back at work. Thanks for the screenshots they will help
Ok, bit lost.Nope you need the hardware, I already ordered it on my GTi. :laugh:
So can you activate high beam assist? Or you need the camera?
Do the Gtis come with that emergency brake thingy? Can't see it on the options?Yep, all Golf 7's come with this safety system :cool:
sorry to go over the point again, I have lane assit and park assist can I use VAG to add beam assist or is hardware required..thanksHi, I didnt know you could spec Lane Assist on the GTD/GTi :sad:
Is there a way I can switch off the start/stop technology.Yes - post 12 here: http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?p=16508#post16508
Yes, it's in the "Comfort illumination" section of the adaption channels in the central electronic module.
This enables you to change what actual lights are used for coming home / leaving home (DRLs, Foglights etc) as well as how they are activated (i.e. automatically on removing the key or opening the door), or manually via a flash fo the high beam lever.
I wanted to ask if you have any idea if the reverse mirror dip has anything to do with the power folding mirrors hardware.As confirmed above - it is a hardware issue. Mirror units with folding facility are different from mirror units with folding and memory function. They have different part numbers and are physicaly different internally with regard to wiring/electronics.
Whilst not strictly a VCDS mod par se, I'm going to give this mod a go probably over Christmas when I'm next off. It's replacing the lower door red reflectors with proper active lights.
I did this mod in my previous Scirocco and all I needed to do was buy the light modules, some repair wires and 2 connectors from VW parts department (think the whole thing came to £20 ish). Just 2 wires from the lights need to be fed into the door control module, then adding them into the door module coding using VCDS. They look like this when done (this is my old Scirocco). As it happens, I removed the units from the Scirocco before part exchanging it, so I still have them in the garage.I've done a dry run, and the light units fit perfectly, and the red reflectors part number is exactly the same as the Scirocco / Golf 5 and Golf 6.
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7378/10456974904_683d342604_o.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/58190042@N03/10456974904/)
Door Light (http://www.flickr.com/photos/58190042@N03/10456974904/) by Sootchucker (http://www.flickr.com/people/58190042@N03/), on Flickr
Now the new Audi A3 (8V), doesn't come with reflectors, but instead active door lights. I've checked ETKA and the circuit diagrams for both the A3 (8V) and the Golf 7 (5P), and they seem to share the same module, it's just that VW have decided not to use the door warning lights at all. Checking the diagram, Terminal 16 of the 32pin connector is the one that sends power to the door lights. It's wired up on the A3 but left empty on the Golf. The negative is the shared negative that the whole door module uses.
When I get round to doing it, I'll post up more photos and a how to for everyone. I know some people will say it's not needed because of the ambient lighting, but being illuminated red straight on, and white light straight down, really makes the door stand out at night and provides quite a bit of additional floor illumination at the rear of the door area.
Hey! You got the car!! :laugh:
How is it? What do you think of the Dynaudio system?
As regards Jivemonkey's request over retaining the heat seat settings, then yes, this can be activated
Module 08 (Climate)
Setting 10 adjustment channels
From the long drop down box select channel "storage of the seat heater level driver"
Adjust value to active (Default value: not activated)
Select channel "storage of the passenger seat heating stage"
Adjust value to active (Default value: not activated)

We are still waiting for someone with the magic combination of having a post BW45 car and VCDS to post up a door controller scan. I have a hunch the unfolding on unlocking is software only so could possibly be done on a pre BW car such as yours.....

Can't see why it would be anything apart from software...fingers crossed.
The waiting game begins then..If they could also post up the scan of the module where the camera resides (if they have one) as well that would be grand! :grin:

It should be there already, if you have xenons which I assume you have.

Yep, the only addition that winter pack brings is the heated seats (money well spent IMO :cool:) - the rest is standard with xenons as JoeGTI says - in UK market at least.
Without going too much into the topic, how low is low? Is it "sh*t, get to the next service station" low, or "ah, will top that up when I get up home.." low?

I couldnt give you specific litres but defintely top up when you get home. My light came on coming down to devon, and i like to be fully empty before filling up as ive cross contaminated before and it caused streaking (this wont happen all the time but stay away from cheaper products) but try as i might i could not empty the bugger, it was still going strong after some severe washing 10miles later when we stopped at a services and I filled up.

I believe this was covered earlier in the thread and it was concluded that there was an additional hardware requirement for this feature - as such can't just be enabled unfortunately as the mirror units" are different.

hehe, screen sharing is already available via android, so effectivly, you share your screen to the CMS... And you could control your phone from your CMS (two way)....Is this hard to do for the iPhone?

I'm sure someone somewhere is doing/inventing this. (As far as i know, not easily done on android in cars, unlesss you are running a CMS stylee with a similar version of android etc...)
Probably not too far away from this tech.
Jivemonkey, as you seem to have taken up the baton (whether you wanted it or not :grin: :grin:) as resident VCDS guru, I was just wondering if in your tinkering, you had seen a way to activate the climate controls appearing briefly on Infotainment screen when changing a setting, like it was on the MK6 / Scirocco's.
After having spent nearly 3 years with the Scirocco, changing a setting on the climatronic unit was a breeze, as it was displayed big and bold in real time on the nav screen (plus it looked cool as hell). I find the smaller digital readouts and LED lights a little harder to read at a quick glance when driving, and would much prefer it if the graphic that's displayed when pushing the middle dials "Setup" button, can be shown for 5 seconds or so each time an adjustment is made. Do you think this is possible ?
I'm not too sure if what I am after is already done on the new Octavia III, as reading through the Columbus Infotainment pdf manual I downloaded, at the end, there is a picture showing the graphic I mentioned above, and the text below says:
"If Climatronic is switched on, the system displays the desired temperature for the driver's side and front passenger side on the screen» Fig. 48. Depending on the desired temperature, the airflow from the air outlet vents is shown in blue (temperature under 21.5 °C) or red (temperature above 22 °C).
When using Climatronic in automatic mode, AUTO is shown on the screen".
It seems to infer (although I could be wrong), that on the Occy, the graphic shows on screen whenever an adjustment is made ?
There seems to have been a drop in momentum from the guys trying to investigate the unfold on unlock, hope they come back!
Unbelievable how many little tweaks you can do in the central electrics module..going to start adding more to my site soon as I come across them :grin:

Rainclosing works!
Now you can activate RAINCLOSING.
Code the BCM as you know.
BCM, Login 31347, adaption, activate rainclosing and change to permament. Check the infotaiment if it activate.
Go to RLS and change to 06A8DD or 06885D you must try which code is better working by raining.
Perhaps you have to wait about 1hour that is working (the car has to sleep deep(germany it´s told BUS-RUHE))
But: this works NOT with VCDS! You need VCP-Pro. http://www.vag-tech.eu/
You can see Video how it is working at my signature.

Full DRL Brightness for Parking Light/ CH/ LH
When parking lights are enabled from the main light switch next to the steering wheel, the DRLs enter a lower power state which is 1/4 of the total brightness. Coincidently, this is also the same setting used for the DRLs in CH/ LH function :smiley:
If you wish, this can be changed to 100% brightness (the same as DRLs when switch in Auto and daylight), which does look quite nice with the LED fogs when unlocking from a distance at night.
To do this:
Go into [09] Central Electronics
Go to Secuity Access and enter 31347
Go into Adaptation
Change the following channels..
'(10)-Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert CD 2' from 26 to 100
'(10)-Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert CD 3' from 26 to 100
Hi Graham, of course. As far as my findings go and currently aware (and I am most likely going to be wrong..) the DRLs are only full brightness when acting in the specific 'Daytime Running Light' mode, i.e. when it's a daylight, in all other modes, such as side lights/ parking lights/ dipped beam/ full beam I believe the DRL is at this lower 26% value.
I haven't confirmed my findings completely yet (I can confirm they come on full brightness for the LH function), but intend to check this out tonight by reducing the value right down to 10% and try each of the various lighting modes to see when the DRL adopts this setting.

Id be very interested to see if this is true. what is the point in having these fancy drl's if they dont show up at night. However will the person in front know to get out of the way lol. Please keep us informed
So when using sidelights you can have the DRL's at 100% brightness?
Normally always drive with sidelights on so people can see me from behind!
have the option when i drive above 15 km the doors wil auto lockthats work fine.but when i unlock from the switch the yellow licht go of and when pull the door handle the unlock again.when i shut the 15 km above option i can lock and unlock no problem.i have put the old door code back to both doors.isseu resolve but then i cant actived the option folding mirrors anymore.even deactivate mirror folding in adaption and again actived with the old code wont work to folding mirrors.now with the curent door code i can fold with the remote one push.do you have any sugestions?
I try it with more details.
the anti carjack option locks the car above 15 《 20 km.
when i want to unlock with the lock unlock button the yellow light go of but when i pull the door handle it unlock again.
is this normal on a vw golf 7.
i dont now anymore i have made manny tweaks..

Yep mine to. Think the CH is coded to only work with the outer light clusters. It's probably another one of the hundred or so light settings in the Central electronics module adaptation channels.
I'll let you find that one :grin:

Funny you mention that, I saw that at lunch time today whilst having a browse through the modules and thought it looked interesting...there's probably some other start/ stop conditions you could tweak too, such as battery level maybe?

Well, after Michael identified which light number was the inside LEDs at the back, I had a quick look in my master spreadsheet of the entire central electrics channel list and found what I thought to be the answer, coding balls up on VWs side? Who knows. Either way, got home around 10 minutes ago, tried my theory out, and works a treat :grin:

Well, after Michael identified which light number was the inside LEDs at the back, I had a quick look in my master spreadsheet of the entire central electrics channel list and found what I thought to be the answer, coding balls up on VWs side? Who knows. Either way, got home around 10 minutes ago, tried my theory out, and works a treat :grin:
Only one little change required to stop the middle LEDs going out when you lock the car in CH mode:
Usual central electrics access stuff, then change adaptation channel:
Leuchte27NSL RC6-Lichtfunktion B 27 from not active to Parklicht rechts
:nerd:
That is the code and yes it must be for both lights:
STG09 (Central Electronics)> Access Authorisation: 31347 > Adaptation Channels> Channel (8 )-Leuchte27 NSL RC6-Lichtfunktion C27" > "Brake light on" set (default: nicht aktiv)
STG09 (Central Electronics)> Access Authorisation: 31347 > Adaptation Channels > Channel (10)-Leuchte27 NSL RC6-Dimming CD27" > on 100 Set(default: 0)
Hi Guys.
Does anyone know where the settings for Keyless Entry are within VCDS?
I have keyless in my Golf 7. The car unlocks fine, but doesnt lock unless i use the key. wanted to have a quick look in VCDS before i take it back to the dealers!
Thanks for your help!

Just to confirm, you are only touching the dimple on the outside of the handle? Not putting your fingers inside the grip? If not i doubt you'll be able to do anything with VCDS and you probably have a fault.
Can anyone post screen shots of 42 and 52 door 5Q0 959 593 A and 5Q0 959 592 A.
because the 12.12 englisch version of my kabel give no text of the byte and bit.
maybe i can check here to change somthing
Same suprise in the the other version, as some are in English, very confusing! :) (Think i might need to add a translations part to the VCDS wiki!) - not sure how yet! :P

Hi cebbes30 - you seem to have a lot of problems!
I checked mine and the puddle lights in the mirrors will stay on longer than the other CH lights, have you tried waiting and seeing if they go off after some time delay? I see no reason why they would stay on if the code you changed has been put back to how it was.

I had this problem with my car lastnight. I locked up and 10-15 mins later I happened to look out the window and notice that my puddle lights were still shining brightly! I unlocked and locked it again and it seemed fine after that. Hopefully a one-off glitch...

How strange, that's all I had to change for it to stay on for my car. It could well be different for right hand drive markets?
Can you confirm that when you lock the car the CH lights are on?
If so, you might try Parklicht links (beidseitiges Parklicht aktiviert li & re) instead. You have the right channel.
Let me know if this works and I'll update the VCDS wiki to reflect it. I'll try this also. If we can get one solution for both left and right hand drive markets that would be much better.

how have you coded it? what exactly did you activate?In group 9 long coding.
which byte did you enable them in??
there is 2 labels where it says footwell lights installed....
on mine
Byte 5 x Bit 7 = 0 (footwelll lights installed)
and
Byte 17 x Bit 3 = 1 (ambient footwell lights installed)
also make sure that
in adaptation you have
'(1) ambient lighting defaultwert ambienteprofil fussraum' on a reasonable value (mine says 50%)
'(6) Ambient lighting - innenlichtinszenierung' on enabled (but that might be for other interior as well!)
when you changed it to this try the output tests....
there is one test for 'footwell light'
good luck
where did you get the parts? you said there were instructions with it?This is the part i bought from kufatec.
maybe you have a link to that?
maybe post a full auto scan here (attach a text file)

Hoi,
Ik zag je post voorbij komen en wil dit zelf ook gaan doen, kunt u aangeven is het lastig om de BMC eruit te halen, als ik zo de foto`s zie wel.
Ik heb eigenlijk nog één vraag heeft u ook cruise control geinstalleerd op u auto orgineel via de stuur zonder ACC dus met de tekst DCL op linker deel van het stuur.

What, highline comes without footwell lights in Holland?hahahah in holland is everything based on money :grin:
You seem to have different central electrics from my car... but would be surprised if it would not support footwell lights
Possibly needs something else activating in adaptation... one of the many lights settings with only letters and numbers
Hi all. I've been conversing with a new member mihaelo1 (Michael) via PM, and he's just sent me some details and photos of a VCDS mod that he and his friends have just done to the LED tail lights on their GTI.
Basically, using this coding allows the high intensity brake light function to operate not just on the outside clusters, but also on the inboard (boot mounted) clusters.
I haven't tried this myself yet, however Michael provided the coding and very kindly allowed me to post here along with his photos.

All thanks go to mihaelo1 (Michael) and his friends for this one. Enjoy.
I've had channel unavailable errors before. Needed to reboot my laptop as it was happening on all modules.
Before you plug the dongle in undo all your coding, run a scan, then run another after using dongle.Ok thats a good idea!
This might help to work out what needs doing....
What cable are the guys using that can't access the channel? Only last night I changed these same channels and more without problem. Are any channels in that range selectable for you?
It may be worth mentioning again.
Some "3rd party" none Rosstech cables will not have the full functionality of the genuine article.

That sounds like fubar, surely a cable is a cable, if i buy a usb charger for my phone from ebay for £2 it will charge my phone as well as a usb charger direct from Sony (Xperia, surprisingly nice alternative to Samsung Galaxy...)

Fubar ?
Nope, there are numerous forum posts where a cheaper cable does not have full functionality. The VCDS is more that a "cable" you cant for a second compare it to a UBS lead.... It is designed to work with the VCDS software and is recognised by a unique serial number.

I dont mean to use a usb instead of a vcds cable, what i mean is, like a usb, the cable allows the software to read the ecu, so surely a chinese copy can do the same thing. It either works or it doesnt, i dont see how a cable can just 'work a bit', you can get hdmi cables that just work a bit, its either there or it aint?
But anyway, im detracting from what i really want to know. If you use a cable (OEM) for vag-com 5.something, that can still work fine on vcds 12.whatever we are?
I had to reboot after a while but I still got the error message on drl brightness which is annoying as that's the one I really want!
If it fits would be my best guess...
try channel "No-Voltage display" and change to display.... battery state label does also not exist on mine but no voltage display works :)
what do you wanna change?
ah ok, yeah that should be possible (there a channel for it at least)... going up north tomorrow but from london direction, can meet at m1 services (wetherby?) but won't know what time until i actually leave from london (depends how job goes).... also if you're really in burnley that's quite a drive on a friday afternoon
what do you wanna change?
Just the brightness of the DRLs to 100% on the side lights, so I can have my rear LEDs and DRLs on at same time. If I remember from a thread somewhere on here on side lights the brightness is only 30%, which IMO you cant even see them.
Cable or Software?
Software is release 12.12 downloaded just yesterday. The actual coding can be navigated to, but when you make the changes instructed in the wiki, it will change the flag but nothing happens.
Rain closing of windows on the car convenience menu was the only thing that I could get to work. I've flagged the taillights for DRL activation, and tried to add gallons used and battery charge to the MFD and whilst all markers have been updated I get no change in the car.
I don't really understand what is going on tbh. Mine's a BW51.
We're going to need screenshots to help I think. And porkerbus try speaking to a retro fix company and see what they say
Noticed a setting called starting vibration reduction, I think, anyway it was on strong, I set it to maximum and noticed... No change lol.
Check out the German version of the VCDS software I linked to above. It has all the bytes labelled in English for you in both door controllers.That seems to have diappeared now - the various bits are blank like the English version...
hello,
I enabled the option to show "refuel quantitiy", but the value displayed is wrong. I took the test yesterday and when supply, the amount was much higher than was displayed on the onboard computer.
does anyone know if there is any adjustment?
thank you
Hi,
My tiltdown does not work!
I've tried to make it work in many ways but it does not work :cry:
I can only wonder if the function is disabled in VCDS.
Thank you
I'm reluctant to buy my own VCDS setup but does anyone know of places in central Scotland or any members in Scotland with the system who are willing to do it for some cash/beer? :wink:
Chaps - I'm not happy... VCDS seems to be a bit of a challange with the Mk.7. I have done a couple of things without an issue but most recently I am really struggling.
For example I set the indicator comfort blinks to 4 - command accepted - all OK, went back in to VCDS to check and there it is set at four. In practice - stil three blinks. Checked again - still shows 4.... WTF??
Thanks!
Thanks Triumph... yes there certainly are issues!
What do you mean exactly - the factory re-set for the lights? That will get the system to respond to my VCDS adjustment?
Thanks again.....
Hmm, strange that as the fan speed LED's have always shown on my GTD irrespective of whether it's in Auto or Manual mode, and has been like that since the day I picked it up ?Seems there are quite a few minor changes - presume post BW45 - thsi being one of them, I also found things you had activated such as gallons since re-fuel missing on mine...
Go to Discovery Pro and Reset the Light Settings. Then it will work.Worked perfectly - thank you again! :smiley:
OK one from me to the experts out there. If there's one thing that constantly annoys me, it's that when reverse is selected and the rear view camera comes on, the left hand side (with the topographical view of the car) is greyed out for about 5 seconds before fading to clear.
Is there anyway to stop the unit displaying the car graphic on a greyed out background permanently, so it appears on a clear background at first switch on ?
I really dont no any more how to do it so i orderd

Anyone tweaked anything else on their golf then?
Also, I should be getting mine in 8 weeks, is anyone around North Yorkshire are with VCDS to activate a few things? Leeds/Newcastle or anywhere in between?

Hello everyone!!
Another chalenge for you guys!
I want to keep my DRL lights always ON, even when the head-lights are on....
The thing is! I've upgraded my stock halogen head-light for a generic GTI unit with HID bulbs and that prety "U" shaped arc, which acts as the DRL.
Everything works fine (plug-n-play instalation), but the U arc doesn't stay lit when the main head-light is on (normal behavior for the DRL mode).
Is there any way to change this??
Thanks!!
Anyone around the Bristol or Somerset area I can tweak a few things using vag-com. I have borrowed a unit but not sure what software to get or even how to do it, lol.
I would like the LED number plate and rain sensor option.
2 - Reverse mirror down function
Actually when i reverse, only passager side mirror tilt down.. I would like both mirrors tilt down, it's possible using vcds ?

Sorry if it's been asked before but how difficult is it to get hold the cables and software to be able to do this myself? what's the sort of cost involved?Not difficult. $249 + shipping from here: http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCuCAN.html (http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCuCAN.html)
I "think" the full width brakelight isn't done from the factory for safety reasons I.e. A contrast between the normal taillights brightness and the brakelight brightness.
Not seen this one mentioned but here is a tweak that when the main beam is activated (either by the flash or full main beam), the front LED fogs come on as well. I tried this out last night and it works really well. The main beam of the Xenon headlights gives a super strong and focused beam into the distance, and the front fogs very nicely illuminate the area to the front and sides of the car. When dipping for on coming traffic, the fogs just switch off in tandem with the main beam. When travelling at speed on unilluminated country roads, it really does light the whole road up for you.
Remember if you do this on a GTI or GTD, then as we have LED front fogs, don't forget to change the illumination value to 127 not 100 (which is for halogen fogs).
Anyway here it is (credit to DV52 over at the vwwatercooled.com.au and vwvortex.com forums).
VCDS Tweak - Fog Light (and High Beam) "Flasher"
From the main screen select 09-Cent. Elect
When the BMC screen opens, select Security Access-16
Enter the magic number 31347
When the main BCM screen returns, select Adaptation-10
Change the settings in adaptation channels shown in the two Tables below to the "New Value":
You open the controller, either 19 or 8, press the 'coding' button, then the 'long coding helper' button, then move along the boxes until it reads byte 11, then tick/unstick the bit 6 box. Exit the screen and you should see the current and new long code, one of the numbers in the string should be different in the new coding box. Press 'do it' and it will be applied. Best to copy the original number before you apply just in case you need to revert. If you want screenshots, see here, this is an excellent reference site:

Not posted in this thread for a while, so thought I'd just update it with a minor "tweak" I learned the other day. Not an essential mod by any means but I quite like it.
As you know, when you change driver profiles modes, all the information comes up on the main infotainment screen (including a little text area in the top left corner indicating the currently selected driver profile).
Well with this very simple mod, not only does it display on this but also in the DIS screen when you have finished selecting, but upon starting of the car, it flashes up for just a second or so to remind you of the currently selected profile. One slight amusement is that all my modes appear the same as in the infotainment screen (Comfort, Normal, Sport, & Eco) except one - Individual mode comes up in the DIS as "RACE Mode" vrooom vrooom.......... :grin:
Any the mod is simply to go into the CAN gateway controller [19] and enable the check mark on Byte [8] Bit [4]
That's it, and you should be let with the following:

Don't see how making that little change to the DIS siplay (I have it myself) could have any bearing on ACC. If you are 100% certain that was the only change you made I would just take it to the dealer - as most likely just a coincidence...
but this module isn't fully mapped yet on VCDS 12.12. :cry:
but this module isn't fully mapped yet on VCDS 12.12. :cry:
And it never will be on 12.12, so why not just download the current build from RT website?
Thanks for all the great tweaks, just got fogs with fullbeam to work, wonderful!
I've been searching this thread (and other forums) but cant seem to find if its possible to combine drl with fogs as standard on auto during daylight (not on when dipped beam turns on during evening) i love how the led U's look with the led fogs on, just too laze too turn and pull the light switch whenever i start the engine. (Got the EU AUTO switch) GTD mk7
Thanks in advance!
Rule 236
You MUST NOT use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced (see Rule 226) as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your brake lights. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves.
Law RVLR regs 25 & 27
It's illegal to use fogs unless reduced vis. See Highway Code:QuoteRule 236

A Japanese import? I'm assuming you got it for a very good price (what other reason would there be?).
Does the Japanese head unit seek through a different set of frequencies to what ours in the UK do (UK is 88-108 can't remember the units - MHz?), if so that could be quite tricky to rectify without a new head unit. Perhaps only a dealer will be able to tell you for sure (but it won't be cheap - this probably isn't warranty work unless the unit is actually faulty). An aftermarket nav unit might be a cheaper solution if replacement is needed.
Try using vcds to change the language on the media system - if you can that is.
I would imagine navigation
I would imagine navigation
wont let me access navigation ? says no response from controller
Isn't the first link the download for the Nav Pro and the second for the standard Navigation ?
Sorry, Can't help with the Navigation issues, but the second query is quite simple. You need access to VCDS, and you can change the startup screen as follows:
1. Select STG 5F (infotainment)
2. STG Long Coding -> Function 07
3. Byte 18
4. Adjust value corresponding
Values for adjustment are (for step 4 above)
02 = GTD (only 1 bit activate)
03 = GTI (bits 0 and 1 activate)
06 = R Line (bits 1 and 2 enable)

All thanks go to mihaelo1 (Michael) and his friends for this one. Enjoy.
I have the setting in the pictures but what is the set up you are asking about, what does that do?

Just seen this http://youtu.be/-y-X9Hp4Nd8 (http://youtu.be/-y-X9Hp4Nd8) interesting this one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj_uOrs7Lag
Now that is interesting.....wander if the LED indicators can be programmed to operate like the new Audi TT indicators.

Gentlemen,
I've read this thread for months and I applied many codes to my MK7. Thanks for all the tips.
I thought i'd share a little code I made myself; I haven't seen it anywhere yet, although it's probably not that hard to come up with.
Pulsing LED DRL while indicating
09 - Central electrics
01. Security access-16 : enter code 31347 to unlock the controller
02. Adaptation-10
(16)-Leuchte2SL VLB10-Lichtfunktion G 2 = Blinken links Dunkelphase
(18)-Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert GH 2 = 24
(19)-Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimming Direction GH 2 = minimize
(16)-Leuchte3SL VRB21-Lichtfunktion G 3 = Blinken rechts Dunkelphase
(18)-Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert GH 3 = 24
(19)-Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimming Direction GH 3 = minimize
And the obligatory result video: http://youtu.be/WPPpnZpfk9A
I hope you guys like it!

Hmm not sure about that one, remind me of like an old car when you put the indicator on and the brake light dims alternatively lol but good find regardless!
Hello all!Hurumpf: Hi. Yes, you can use the Discover media unit for this function. But, enabling Traffic Sign Recognition is both a hardware and software issue. At the hardware end, you first have to have a front camera. VW calls this camera R242.
I have a GTI (French Spec). I have Lane Assist, Discover Media and the colour display on the instrument panel.
Can anyone tell me for certain if I can enable Traffic Sign Recognition using VCDS with this setup or is it essential to have Discover Media Pro for some reason? I have been trying to find a definitive answer by searching various forums but I have yet to read anything definite. I will buy the cable and software to do it but only if I know it will be possible.
I appreciate any thoughts you may have.

The R242 sits up against the windshield behind the rear view mirror where the Rain-Light-Humidity sensor is located. the same camera is used for
• Lane departure warning (Lane Assist)
• Dynamic Light Assist (DLA)
• Main Beam Assist (FLA)
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Enabling traffic signs (on a Skoda Octavia)

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/299493-how-to-enable-traffic-sign-recognition/
The A5 camera does not provide the adaptive cruise control. There is a separate radar in the front grill for this.
DV52 - my understanding has always been that you need to have Lane Assist installed to activate sign recognition.... I have High Beam Assist (which has a camera) but there is no address for a camera controller that i can find in my car :-(
PS if the R2D2 (lol) camera is present in all cars with ACC (ie all GTi/GTD/R's in the UK!) can high beam assist also be coded? I think it probably can...
Ok, so HBA is only possible with the camera (Mk7 with ACC = CHECK!) but also with the controller module J844.
HBA was a relatively cheap option (I have it!) so I thought, logically, it was just a software enable, but it seems not.
Good work though DV52, even if I never do any of this I find your technical stuff really interesting (I like technical stuff!)
If it was mean I would change the 1 and 2's to match, seems logical like the others, could it be driver and passenger?
I believe my R does the tear drop all the time, I want to turn it off, but just haven't played with VCDS much yet. I also have keyless.
I have scan which module has the tear drop? I can post my coding. Although I thought year drop was mentioned in the menu on the radio somewhere mind.

It is where the water runs down the screen after the initial wiping motion and the car then swipes the wiper one last time after a short delay.

Well I'm near Durham mate (slightly closer than mcmaddy) but work in Teesside if you need anything.
Guys,
I have a mild annoyance with the bi-xenon headlights.
I have DLA and FLA, and I leave the light button on "auto".
When it's dark and my xenons are on, when I pull the light stalk to flash my high beams, the shutters move to raise the beam and lower it when I release it, which is OK. People in front of me see it (pretty well, since I understand these can be quite blinding).
However, when I'm on the road in a sunny day, my xenons are off (which is normal), but when i pull the light stalk to flash my high beams at someone, the xenon lamps strike, but the shutters don't move, meaning that i just flash the ground, and people don't see my flash at all.
I've done the code to also flash my fogs, but I would really prefer to finally find out how to raise my high beams shutters when the low beams are off initially. Sometimes, I need to actually turn the lights button manually all the way to turn my headlights on to be then able to flash. Seems like there must be a better way.
Did people here with xenon notice the same thing?
I've seen the BCM comparison chart of dv52, but my Leuchte 10 Shutter is set to "not active", and when I set it to "Type 2 - Shutter", it doesn't have any effect on the shutter, they just don't move at all, whatever values I put in "function" and "dimming value".
I've tried disabling "dynamic light assist" in the car settings, but it doesn't seem to change that behaviour.
Any pointer would be more than welcome!
Thanks guys!

dv52, I seem to see your adaptation channels indicate you have xenon headlights, do you also have DLA/FLA? Do your beams rise when you flash while your low beams are initially off?
I have applied these, except for the "Lampendefektbitposition" and "Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC" which wouldn't accept my programming (enter an hexadecimal value... whereas i'm pretty sure 37 is hexa)

Do you think the 2 bytes I couldn't copy are the culprit?
^^^Now THATS a reply and a half!
Awesome work!
The front wiper adaptation channels is:
(17)-Windshield wiper-Traenenwischen Front Status (rough translation (17) - Windshield wiper Tears wipe Front Status)
The rear Wiper adaptation channels is:
(4)-Rear Window Wiper-Traenenwischen Heck (translation (4) -Rear Window Wiper rear wipe tears)
The default setting for both channels is "not active". Change either, or both settings to "active". I haven't done this tweak, but I suspect that you will first need to enter the magic number 31347 into the security code
BOFH: Definitely some curious stuff happening on your car! May I ask the history of the vehicle-please? Did your car come fitted with Xenon lamps, or have they been retrofitted?
Have you made the coding change to BIT 5-6 of Byte 6 in the BCM (so that the BCM recognises the shutters)?
dv52, I seem to see your adaptation channels indicate you have xenon headlights, do you also have DLA/FLA? Do your beams rise when you flash while your low beams are initially off?
How up-to-date is the version of my spreadsheet that you have (I have updated it a couple of times)? My car is the one headed 103TSI on the latest version and you will notice in shutters are not activated. I have plain ordinary halogen lamps - alas.
Someone here with DLA/FLA is far better qualified (than am I) to provide advice on the shutter behaviour on your car. But as a prompt for others to reply, I've just checked with a VWVortex forum colleague who has xenon lamps on his car ( it's an NAR model). My colleague has confirmed that on his car the xenon lamps ignite and the shutters open when he flashes high beam during daylight hours! Not sure if ROW models are different, but I would think that they are the same.
PS:If you can't fix your problem, it's a easy task to change the adaptation settings so that your low beam lights flash when the stalk is operated - I'm happy to give you the tweak instructions if you want
The two adaptation channels that you can't alter are the fault detect channels. You are correct the settings are Hexadecimal addresses (not decimal). Again not much is known about these two channels, but from my analysis of other vehicles I believe that the settings for the parenthesis (2) and (3) channels must be unique values that appear no where else in any of the other 35 x lamps
Here's the settings for all the current vehicles in my spreadsheet for Lampendefektbitposition channel for every light. I've ordered the table according to the last column (Highline - it happens to be a NAR model). You can see that each setting is unique for this car (and for all other cars) - except of course for HEX0
(http://i.imgur.com/uLplwDJ.png)
Here's the same table, but this time for Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC channel
(http://i.imgur.com/oZf3tKa.png)
Same thing - all settings are unique
Is it possible that an other Leuchte channel in your car has already been assigned these values? Have you done an admap for the BCM on your car yet - it's the best way to check this.
@dv52: That is some great work you have done there. What is FLA? Is it lane assist?
My car is RHD, has xenons and dynamic light assist. I took an adaption map of every module before I started tweaking with vcds. Would the scans from my car be of any use to you?
The front wiper adaptation channels is:
(17)-Windshield wiper-Traenenwischen Front Status (rough translation (17) - Windshield wiper Tears wipe Front Status)
The rear Wiper adaptation channels is:
(4)-Rear Window Wiper-Traenenwischen Heck (translation (4) -Rear Window Wiper rear wipe tears)
The default setting for both channels is "not active". Change either, or both settings to "active". I haven't done this tweak, but I suspect that you will first need to enter the magic number 31347 into the security code
Cheers for confirming this. As I have previously said, I have set both of the channels to active but the tear drop function still doesn't work. Any ideas?
NO, I HAVEN'T changed anything in there. I see bit 5 is 1 and bit 6 is 0, what value do I set them?
This indeed confirms there is something weird going on. I am tempted to take it to the shop, after all it's a lease under warranty, and it "sounds" like an issue, I can always ask the dealer what he thinks of those quirks... I hope he won't nag about my VCDS adaptations. I might just as well roll back most of them and pretend I didn't touch :p
Do you know if it's a lost cause because I adapted some channels, or if garages are happy to see us fiddle? (i guess not :p)
When I pull the stalk, the low beams turn on (they strike), when I release the stalk, the low beams turn off. Is your tweak different? I don't think I have separate low beams than the xenons (it's not a GTI, just a regular TDI with the fancy xenon/angel eyes... maybe I should have started there?)
I actually did a BCM map the other day to compare with your compilation with VLOOKUPS and find back the stuff I changed :) I'll post it tomorrow!
@dv52: scans sent.
NO, I HAVEN'T changed anything in there. I see bit 5 is 1 and bit 6 is 0, what value do I set them?
BOFH: Here's a pic of the long coding helper screen from my car showing the coding for byte 6 for the BCM
(http://i.imgur.com/GDLe9mf.png?1)
As I said in my previous post, I don't have Xenon/shutters in my car and you can see the entry in Bit5-6 confirms this setting. To establish what the coding value should be for cars that have shutters installed, I enclose the table below which shows the coding stings from a number of models. All the cars in the table (except mine) have xenon/shutters installed. In the lower part of the table, I have converted to binary the Hex value for Byte 6. Clearly the correct value for cars with Xenon/shutters is Bit 5=I & bit 6=0
What exactly do I need to purchase to make these changes and how much is it going to cost?
What exactly do I need to purchase to make these changes and how much is it going to cost?
Don, may I make a suggestion on the spreadsheet? Could you put in tick boxes for options fitted to the car. It would help people figure out coding for retrofits etc... Eg: 3dr/5dr; sunroof; xenons; led rears; FLA/DLA; Parking heater; heated screen; heated seats; footwell lights; heated windscreen washers; ACC; DCC; Kessey
Hi,
I've had my Golf GTi for around 6 months now and just bought a VCDS cable. The forum has been a fantastic source of information on the changes possible and I've even managed to get the rain closing function working. However, can someone help with two questions.
1. I can't find 'Battery Charge' under the drop down list of 'Adaptions' within Channel 17 (Instruments). Any reason why this may be so and is there something I need to activate in the long code helper?
2. In some markets the Golf has a 'Air Conditioning Settings' menu within the Car/Setup menu. Can anyone tell me how I could activate this menu?
Thanks for your help.
Hi dv52 and thanks for your helpful reply.
I think the SOC tweak will just have to be left - I've tried what you've suggested and no joy.
Regarding the air conditioning, it's the display the display which appears when you're in setup and enables you to activate automatic air recirculation (once activated on VCDS) - not the a/c consumption data. From looking on the web, it seems some markets have this activated (Taiwan for example it appears).
Any suggestions as to how I might be activate this?
Many thanks
Guys,
I had the dealer tech look at my MK7 for my issue with headlights (when I flash to pass while the lowbeams are off, they turn on as lowbeams and the shutters don't raise to make them highbeams).
He said it's perfectly normal and working as designed; he said it's in the manual (I have yet to check that).
I was a little disappointed, however they offered to fix for free the rattle I had in my right passenger door with dynaudio at 80hz; they'll take the door apart, put some foam padding and reinforce the plastic solders. Pretty cool of them.
Meanwhile, I've got back to coding, I've made my flash-to-pass turn off my DRL and turn on my fogs too, it's more obvious that I flash now. I'll still look into raising those shutters, though :)
Another useful coding for Keyless cars: Automatic doors lock when leaving the car with key fob in your pocket. Useful if you forget to lock the car but have your key with you.
1) Select 05 Acc/Start Auth.
2) Select Coding - 07
3) Select Byte 2
4) Activate Bit 4
It's worth to mention that when using this option, the automatic mirrors fold is not working and also it would seem that some on the german forum have noticed the fuel flap is not locking either.
Haven't tried it yet but will do as soon as I have some time.
GeoBog: Sorry to learn of your difficulties! The two settings that I gave you would normally suffice for tear wipe .
Also, given that I'm a newbie here I apologise for monopolising this tread - this certainly wasn't my intention. I came here primarily to learn from others (and to help where I can)
OK - don't take this the wrong way, but I always have trouble answering requests for additional information because of the wide ranging dependencies for correct operation of the adaptation channels in the BCM.
The control module at address 09 really is quite a sophisticated beast, and at last count the BCM in the mk7 has 2,316 different adaptation channels that it manages (in general, the BCM makes up about 43% of all the adaptation channels in the mk7).
So, assuming that there isn't a hardware failure anywhere in your car, the only other suggestion that I can make is that you check the complete suite of adaptation channels that control the operation of the two wipers.
I've included below a table of the correct default settings for the front and rear wiper. As I don't know what particular part numbers you have in your car, I've taken a guess at which channels are relevant for your vehicle. Your car may not have the greyed-out cells - don't worry if some channels are missing. But if the channels are there, then they must have the settings indicated
And a final word of caution which you probably already know (but it's worth reinforcing) - please notate any change that you make in case you need to revert the setting. I've found from bitter experience that it's not good practice to rely entirely on the data in the CodingLog.txt file in RT's software when tweaks go-pear-shaped. Whilst the value of this file should not be under-estimated, it only records the setting change request when the Do it! tab is pressed. It does not record a failed change request, so the file can be confusing
Good luck - and please share any findings with the rest of us (it's how we learn)
Now a request from me :grin:
I have the halogen DRLS (H15) and have some LED CREE bulbs to replace these.
They work fine in Daytime mode, including flashing but when I have dipped beam on and use the flasher or main beam it throws a bulb out error reporting to check the left and right dipped bulb......which are fine. It then leaves the DRL bulb on with the dipped beam until I clear the fault through the VCDS.
I've been trying to recode them so it doesn't throw up an error based on what you do when installing the LED number plate lights but this hasn't worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS. I know the light output on the LED CREE are pretty poor and are not great for the high beam so once I get bulb out error sorted my plan is to code it so the fogs come on with the high beam too.
hmmmm...... my original number plate lights weren't LED, I swapped them for the OEM LED ones and managed to recode them as LEDs..................why is different for the halogen DRLs.
itavaltalainen - have you got the Osram H15 Xenon bulbs? I originally had some of these (perhaps not the Osram ones) in my car when I first got it, they DRL bulb has a much improved look but the high beam was useless, would just project a short bluey light.
Isn't your clock changing to 1 hour ahead same as the European time? If yes then you might get away with setting it to Europe and then select the Time zone to Australia from the Infotainment. It should change the time 1 hour ahead even if you time zone is set to Australia.
Why would you turn a safety feature off? Leave the hazard lights on auto.
There used to be option to either have the hazards or the fast flashy brake light type for emergency braking. Not sure if its the same on the mk7
No nag screen in Belgium either :)
By the way, talking about nag screens, is your Golf also saying "don't forget your mobile phone" when you turn off the ignition?
Can we tweak that message? (like to say "Don't forget to feed the cat" :laugh:)
VW must assumes Brits are smarter than US, mine isn't showing nag screen either.
Strange. I have never seen such messages on my Nav. Must be disabled from factory.
Has any one found a way to reduce the time the amber air bag warning light appears on start up?
(think it is around 1 minute)
Rather distracting in the dark, and I always look at it and wonder if something is wrong :rolleyes:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/phope1/IMG_0099_zpsxvyoi6rz.jpg)
Whilst we seem to have some more VCDS experts on board (yes GeoBog and dv52 I'm talking about you :grin:), there are 4 nice to haves that would be really great if they could be coded (not sure they can but worth asking). I have asked about some of these before, but you never know ?
There used to be option to either have the hazards or the fast flashy brake light type for emergency braking. Not sure if its the same on the mk7
There is a channel I came across that translates into emergency brake lights. I can't remember the german text but I'll post it later when I get a chance.
Cheers pal. Out of interest, is the bluetooth unit a separate module or contained within the infotainment unit [5F] ?

On my Leon if you wanted to fold the mirrors in, you held the lock button, which I enjoyed as you dont always need to fold them and this constantly folding can't be good for them, they are making some painful noises sometimes. So I ask thee, can we change the golf to act like this, and for us keyless peeps, could we press the handle for a bit to act the same...?
Finally managed to find out how to configure the infotainment to change the summer time automatically, hence no more manual ticking the option on the screen.
Coding for standard Nav to activate automatic summer time:
1) Select module 5F - Information Electr.
2) Select Adaptation
3) Select channel: "Summertime-automatic"
4) Change default value from "manual" to "Europe"
Now I'll have to wait for 29th March to see it in action :cool:
It is also worth mentioning that the menu on the infotainment has changed from "Summer (DST)" to "Automatic summer time". If I thick the option now the time stays the same while before if I thicked the Summer (DST) option, the time would've moved 1 hour ahead.
(apologies for the cr@ppy pictures)

I have also found the adaptation to configure the temperature when the warning comes on to the MFD. It is set to 4 °C by default, however I haven't managed to change it as it requires a security code and VCDS doesn't suggest anything. 31347 doesn't seem to work. If anyone knows the code and wants to share, it would be appreciated.
So here is the coding:
1) Select module 17-Instruments
2) Select Adaptation
3) Select channel: "(10)-outside_temperature-p_ice_warning_entry_temperature"
4) Change value to desired temperature. (note this requires a security code)
Another thing that I was messing about today is the Oil level which I miss from my old Megane who would show me the oil level on the MFD each time I used to start the engine.
Here is the coding:
1) Select module 5F - Information Electr.
2) Select Adaptation
3) Select channel: (5)-Vehicle function list CAN-Oil_level
I have activated the channel but I am not sure how it really works on VW. I have had a look through the menus in the Infotainment but couldn't find anything related to Oil level. If anyone has any clue, please share.
The login code for the temperature adaption = 20103
The standard entry temperature = 4 and the exit temperature = 6 (my settings are 2 and 4 now)
Finally managed to find out how to configure the infotainment to change the summer time automatically, hence no more manual ticking the option on the screen.
Coding for standard Nav to activate automatic summer time:
1) Select module 5F - Information Electr.
2) Select Adaptation
3) Select channel: "Summertime-automatic"
4) Change default value from "manual" to "Europe"
Now I'll have to wait for 29th March to see it in action :cool:
It is also worth mentioning that the menu on the infotainment has changed from "Summer (DST)" to "Automatic summer time". If I thick the option now the time stays the same while before if I thicked the Summer (DST) option, the time would've moved 1 hour ahead.
I don't know if it will help anyone, but I did a full controller map/adaptation download yesterday on my car, and put the results into a spreadsheet format to make the channels easier to read
If anyone would like the spreadsheet, PM me and I'll give you a dropbox link :
Just to confirm, the time changed automatically to 1 hour ahead this morning. I really don't understand why VW wouldn't activate this from factory.
Is in the menus somewhere
Anyhow, as a result of my experiments, I've been able to develop a tweak for turning on the instrument cluster lights without having the rotary light switch in the on position. This means that the instrument cluster will be illuminated during normal daylight without the car's lights switched on.Many thanks for posting this - in the UK (as far as I can tell) the instrument cluster is illuminated in the daytime regardless of the headlight setting. As external light levels fall then so do the instrument light levels - this seems odd at first, the wrong way round as it becomes harder to see the instruments as it gets darker - but it has been suggested that this was introduced as a way of reminding folk to switch on their lights. Of course if you leave the lighting on Auto then you will not experience this - but I generally leave mine on off until I judge that lights are required.

Has anyone with VCDS cracked how to make the LED indicators pulse outwards like the new Audi ones do?
The light cluster doesn't light during the day or any other time with the light switch in off position. I noticed this the other day while driving through the tyne tunnel. To be honest that's the way it should be as I see loads of people driving around at dusk with no lights on. My 05 Leon fr had this and I couldn't see the point to be honest.
Its quite possible that i am talking a complete load of rubbish as i have not checked but just basing my comments on recollection (probably not really a great idea).
No offence taken at all DV :-)
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.
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, latest production Golf's do indeed toggle through the modes on screen with repeated button presses....

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)

try channel "No-Voltage display" and change to display.... battery state label does also not exist on mine but no voltage display works :)
Quite like this, i think the guy that posted this is a member on here??

Does it only do it with the hazard lights or when indicating as well? Not sure i like it for the indicators tbh. :undecided:
What's the coding for this?
Search in this topic, it has been discussed before. There are many around here that have changed the temperature and it worked, including me. I have changed the temperature for the first setting as by default it was set to 21.5 degrees and couldn't feel a thing. Changed it to 27.5 degrees and I could feel it getting warm.
I had the same issue when I've first changed mine. From 21.5 I had it changed to 24.5 and I couldn't feel a thing. Then I have changed it to 27.5 and I could feel the seat warm. I'm not sure if setting both thresholds at the same temperature will be ok, might confuse the heater to not know when to switch on and off. From factory, there is a 1 degree gap between when it switches on and off so that the seat maintains a temperature between the two values.
Have a look on this topic as well:

Why do you need this when they fold on locking anyway. Have I missed something? And also 1st release golfs have different door controllers than newer ones.

Is there anyone in the Exeter area able to do any VCDS changes? Id like to know what changes are recommended but I definetly like the DRL dipping when indicating.

What's the DRL dipping when indicating? Sorry - I have gone back quite a few pages and can't find any mention of the tweak...

Have you got details of how to modify the J794 to get up the "green screen" ?
Rear DRL's help!
So I borrowed a VCDS cable and decided to do some mods.
I must have read thousand different threads lol but I had a few things I wanted to do.
Mainly - i'd like to know what the blower is doing when air con is on auto. it's not much but i thought, it's quite annoying, I would like know what it's doing.
So I plugged in VCDS and started... All quite simple, followed instructions, all done... Car hasn't caught fire of combusted and still works and now I can see what the blower is doing.
I decided to add DRL's to the rear. My initial 'meh' towards the rear LEDS has softened and I now really like them, I thought rear DRL's would be safe and show them off a bit.
So I followed the instructions, no problems, but they don't seem to work. Clearly I missing something or I haven't understood something.
I thought I'd have to add the DRL on/off menu to the infotainment system, i did that, turned off DRL's turned them etc but still nothing.
At the risk of embarrassing myself, what simple step or thing have i missed?
James
James: Hi.
For the avoidance of doubt and for clarity, I assume that your "Rear DRLs" tweak is what is commonly known as Scandinavian DRLs (i.e. Tail lights on with DRL). I also assume that the tweak instruction that you followed was to change the following adaptation channel in the BCM:
(6)-Daytime running lights-Tagfahrlicht-Dauerfahrlicht aktiviert zusartzlich Standlicht == active
If this is correct and the tweak didn't work, have you tried resetting the lights to factory setting via the infotainment screen menu?
Cheers
Don
:smiley: Thanks everyone :)
All done now :) Thanks for the tips/advice - I will post some pics if people want?
I've activated the DRL on/off menu in the infotainment - it does turn off both front and rear DRL's (not individually).
Looks very smart and easy to reverse.
Some places suggest there is just one pice of coding but I have inputed two - or I've activated two things for it to work.
James
Is this what your looking for Ex http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=260248.345;wap2;wap2P3ssa very helpfully posted this up in my "I blame you lot" thread.
Im on my phone so not sure it will link properly. But here's the coding:
STG09 (Central Electronics)> Access Authorisation: 31347 > Adaptation Channels> Channel (8 )-Leuchte27 NSL RC6-Lichtfunktion C27" > "Brake light on" set (default: nicht aktiv)
STG09 (Central Electronics)> Access Authorisation: 31347 > Adaptation Channels > Channel (10)-Leuchte27 NSL RC6-Dimming CD27" > on 100 Set(default: 0)
Auto coming home is also a good tweak.

I spent ages trying to get the car to accept the code for the full width rear brake lights today ably supervised by James75, we tried it in both his car and my own.
In both cars it would let us get so far then decide it wasn't possible and locked us out.
James has got several mods to work so it's not a cable problem (his Scanvinavian DRL's were activated easily enough whilst we were in the middle of being kicked out of the full brake light coding).
Anybody have any ideas on what I was doing wrong?

Exonian : Hi.
I apologise if you already know this, but each exterior light on a mk7 is controlled by a group of 19 x adaptation channels. In a paper that I wrote to explain how these channels work, I termed the group a Leuchte channel set .
Without going into a deep explanation of the structure of these channel sets, they must be defined correctly in the first adaptation channel (i.e. the adaptation channel in parenthesis (1)) and the correct memory location must be allocated in the adaptation channels with parentheses (2) and (3).
From then-on, each remaining bank of 16 x channels is sub-grouped into 4 x 4 channels. Each 4 channels controls what the light actually does and the order in which these functions are programmed determines the priority of the function when there is a clash.
In a number of adaptation maps that I have seen, there are some Leuchte channel sets that are not active. In my own car for example, the channel set Leuchte27 NSL RC6 (which does control the two inner tail lights and which you used in your tweak attempt) is not active.
Here's how the first three channels for this Leuchte-set looks on my car
(1)-Leuchte27NSL RC6-Lasttyp 27 = not active
(2)-Leuchte27NSL RC6-Lampendefektbitposition 27 = 0
(3)-Leuchte27NSL RC6-Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 27 = 0
As a brief explanation of how these 3 channels work, the lasttyp setting determines what type of light is installed whilst Lampendefektbitposition and Fehlerort mittleres Byte are memory locations for fault monitoring (I think)
If your car has the same settings, making the changes that you have described in your post will do nothing because the first three Leuchte channels have not been properly defined. It might be prudent to check how these adaptation channels are set in your car because it might explain what you have experienced.
So, the other way to program the two inner tail lights to act as a brake function is to modify the Leuchte channel sets:
Leuchte23SL HLC10 (left inner tail light)
Leuchte24SL HRA65 (right inner tail light)
However, because of the different ways that these channel sets can be factory programmed by VW, there is no universal set of instructions that will work for all models. It really depends on how VW programmed your particular model as to where in the 19 x adaptation channels to place the "Brake Light" and the "100" setting.
Cheers
Don
It looks the same as when your car will look with side lights on, with the exception the side lights won't be lit. Basically you'll have drls on and rear lights.

I'm confused now :huh:
If I put the light switch to side lights, my DL's are on at the front with the rear lights on. So for me the only difference between DRL's and sidelights is the rear lights being illuminated.

Not sure that I understand what the "green screen" is, but I was given the following tweak instructions by a very smart (Russian) colleague on VWWatercooled (thanks Zloybob). By changing Byte 17 on J794 from 01 to 02, you are able to get the GTI look. Here's my coding string details:

Thanks very much for the excellent reply Don.
I've not had chance to plug it all in yet but will have another play at the weekend hopefully.
I'll report back as no doubt any info will be helpful to others. :afro:
:grin:
I might have a go at that at the weekend James!
Apologies if you've tried getting hold of me this week, my SIM card died a death and so I've been wifi only all week and no connection at all out of the house. New SIM arrived Friday late afternoon.
One thought I had the other day and not sure if we discussed it but with the rears as DRLs I'll assume the number plate lights aren't lit and that would be the difference between Scandinavian DRL's and side lights?
Have you had a look at whether the number plate lights are illuminated when in DRL mode?
NeilH, I doubt there will be any internal differences to the control modules of post week 22 cars.
Depends on what you want doing as to whether it's worth getting a cable or not.
I bought one when I had my MK6 as I did a few retrofits but with the MK7 you're a little more limited.
It might be worth checking out local VCDS owners once you have a list of tweaks you want.
.............
Today I managed to finally get my inner brake lights working via the instructions in my quote from p3ssa on the previous page. For some reason the first few times I tried it on both my and James75's cars I was getting "controller not available" messages flashed up, but today it went to plan after a couple of lock outs. And to prove it wasn't a fluke I got James75's coded too.
Big thanks to p3ssa (and Sootchucker) plus Don dv52 for your invaluable help on this thread.
Hi
I am lans,owner of passat B8 2015 and a VCDS cable
i am trying to steal some knowledge,combining tweaks from Golf 7,octavia III and Leon and see which ones will work on my passat.
just wondering if anyone has ever thought of this
1. speed limiter to remain in power after ignition off. in my city the limit is 60kmh and fees are steep. is it possible to encode a permanent and default speed limit? or at least last known value on ignition off?
2. automatic all four indicators blinking when put in reverse,combined with mirror dip.
p.s.
mirrors unfold on unlocking the car,not on ignition on my passat
cheers
Hello Don,
I asked you a similar question as Lans on the VWW site:
[2. automatic all four indicators blinking when put in reverse,combined with mirror dip.]
With your helpful lighting guide I was able to illuminate the rear indicator lights when reverse was selected, as I did not want the front to operate:
[So to make the rear turn-signal lights light-up when the car is placed into reverse, you just need to find a spare alpha sub set on Leuchte18BLK HLA60 (left rear turn signal), and Leuchte19BLK HRC31 (right rear turn signal) and enter the setting "Rückfahrlicht". You also need to alter the settings for the corresponding "Dimmwert" and "Dimming Direction" channels. This will make the rear blinker lamps light-up whenever the car is placed in reverse (i.e. a solid light-not on/off like a blinker).]
I also tried various combinations of the Alpha Sub-Set inserting "Blinken rechts Hellphase" with "Rückfahrlicht"but was unable to get the blink operation to work.
Am I correct in assuming that it is not possible to make them blink?
Thanks
Bill.

Lans: Hello - you ask some interesting questions indeed!
With respect to your question 2., I suspect that it is possible to light-up any of the rear lights when the car is put into reverse (but some regard needs to be given to heat stress on the blinker lamp holders). Not sure how familiar you are with Leuchte programming, but each of the mk7's exterior lights can be programmed to operate multiple functions. There are a sub group of Leuchte channels for each lamp that I have called an "alpha sub-set" and there are 8 of these for each lamp. This means that each lamp can perform up to 8 x different functions.
There is a setting for these alpha sub-sets called Rückfahrlicht (in German) which in English means reversing light. What this setting does is to illuminate the lamp whenever the car is put into reverse gear (this is the setting that is used for the actual reversing light on a mk7 - i.e. for the Leuchte28RFL LC11 channel set (left reverse light) & for the Leuchte29RFL RA64 channel set (right reverse light).
So to make the rear turn-signal lights light-up when the car is placed into reverse, you just need to find a spare alpha sub set on
Leuchte18BLK HLA60 (left rear turn signal), and Leuchte19BLK HRC31 (right rear turn signal) and enter the setting "Rückfahrlicht". You also need to alter the settings for the corresponding "Dimmwert" and "Dimming Direction" channels. This will make the rear blinker lamps light-up whenever the car is placed in reverse (i.e. a solid light-not on/off like a blinker).
BUT there is a further consideration that needs to made (I think). I have read where some forum members have made changes to the blinker lamps to use them as brake lights only to find that they have melted the lamp holders. Blinkers have a 50% duty cycle which means that they are "pulsed" on/off, so the lamps holders won't sustain long on times. If you were to pursue my suggestion, I suspect that you should make the "Dimmwert" setting no higher than 50 (unless you have LED rear tail lamps.
Combining this tweak with mirror-dip isn't difficult (for the passenger side mirror) because this is the normal way that it works if your car has the memory capacity in the passenger side door controller
I have no answers for your other (good) questions but doubtless others here will be able to respond
Cheers

Hi all,
I'm driving a Golf MK7 and I looking for two settings which I can't find.
I would like to disable the distance notification I see popping up all the time when I approach another car.
Useless and distracting if you ask me :cool:
And...
I would like to have the audio volume set to zero (0) when I start the car. Currently the minimum value is 5.
Every time when I enter and start the car the music is playing at this minimum level (5).
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot...

I would like to have the audio volume set to zero (0) when I start the car. Currently the minimum value is 5.
Every time when I enter and start the car the music is playing at this minimum level (5).

Can you set the maximum volume to 0 in the menus?
Hi all,
I'm driving a Golf MK7 and I looking for two settings which I can't find.
I would like to disable the distance notification I see popping up all the time when I approach another car.

Graham - do you plug your Ipod in when you get into the car? I've noticed when you plug in any media source, it starts playing from the first alphabetic song.

For silent music on start up you need to flick back to radio mode and turn the volume down. If you leave the unit on media or cd it automatically resets to minimum 5.So, if I put the unit on "Phone", turn down the volume to "0" it should stay on "0" when I start the car again...
You need to have the unit on radio not phone and then turn it down.
It's not a work around it's just the way the unit is.I understand that.
For those with alarm from factory, a small coding to activate the horn besides the normal siren when the alarm kicks in. I find this useful because TBF the standard siren's volume is quite low.
So:
1) open 9 Cent. Elect.
2) Adaptation
3) Select channel (7)-Anti-theft device-Akustischer Alarm Signalhorn
4) Set it to Active.
Hi, i'm new to this forum today and has read all the 95 pages :-P My 2014 GTI are folding the mirrors automaticly with the remote contol, folding when locking an unfolding when unloicking :-) I'm from Norway so sorry about my English :-PVelkommen Robert :smiley:
Got my GTI 2 June 2014
A video i made :-P
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XilFVmB6ZIg
hmm i dont know if mine does...? but it'll take a nail to find out so im not too bothered about testing that theory!
Doesn't always tell you which tyre. Suppose it depends how much discrepancy is on rolling diameter.Yes it does.
Buddy I had 5 or 6 tyre pressure warnings in the almost 80k miles I've done in it, 2 of them did not tell me which tyre supposedly had a pressure loss but just to check pressures in general.I thought this last night but didn't think the system was that clever haha I check mine every week so I've never had the "other" warning come up.
Once was with winter tyres, pumped tyres up to accomodate for extra weight (beer cases are heavy mind you ;) ) in Austria in low temperatures (-10), got a warning in the much warmer UK to check pressure (well above 0) and after running it at high speed up the M40.
The other was when I wacked winter tyres on in the spring to drive over from UK to continent for emergency but could not reset the tyre pressure in car setup as my touch screen was unresponsive.
So there are two fault modes when it comes to triggering warning, one is where one tyre has a significantly different rolling diameter to the others (as measured by ABS ring pulses), the other is when the rolling diameter on all changes relatively quickly over a short period of time.
Now most people will ever only see the one regarding puncture, i.e. sudden loss in just one tyre but I can guarantee there is a second fault mode :)
I've had an intermittent issue with Eds Golf R lights ever since i've had them, the car displays a bulb our error with the left drl when indicating left.
I've tried all sorts of coding to remove this, even thought the lights are plug and play. Ed has also suggested various things but still haven't been able to resolve this.
Could someone with a GT TDI post a vcds scan of their car? It would be a big help.
I want to compare the coding for the BCM in cent elec
Hi DV52,Adam: OK sounds strange! I'm less familiar with E'd lights as I am with Leuchte programming, so I assume that you are convinced that there are no compatibility issues with the fitting.
Is there a way to contact you directly regarding this? my email is adam_groves@hotmail.com
I know that other people with a GT have fitted Ed's lights with any issue and no coding.
I'm aware of the Leuchte adaptation channels. I have the dimmwert and dimming direction configured as you suggest for the Leuchte TFL channels but it still throws this error.
Ed's lights actually have the wink function built into the headlight so the headlight automatically dims the DRLS when indicating regardless of the coding. I've tried both the coding for the wink and without and both ways throws an error.
I've also tried swapping the control boards over within the headlight units that control this and the problem persists with the left headlight so it makes me think its coding as opposed to headlight fault.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'adaptation channel map of the BCM on your car since making the VCDS changes' but i have a full scan i can send you if that would help.
Hey guys,
I've tried to apply the ECS OFF mod and have attempted to do so multiple times without success. I've read through the guides posted on several forums even watched the videos posted by the members several times to make sure I nailed everything down to the details. Now I live in Hong Kong (ROW version) and after looking at my the VCDS on my laptop, I have noticed several differences in VDS which I will point out. I have also attached a screen shot below.
-At the top left hand box which shows the main screen of the "03-ABS Brakes" window, I noticed that the VAG Number s different.
VCDS simply reports what's in the control module that you selected. The VAG Number in the box is the part/software number that's stamped onto the ABS control module in your car. Yes, there will be different part numbers for different versions of the mk7 depending on the individual brake components in the car. There will also be lots of mk7 where the only difference is the last digit (which is an alphabetic character). This just signifies the version number for the part.
-Inside "Coding - 07", some of the long coding bytes seems to be different.
Again, this is not unusual. The coding string values for each version of the mk7 depends on individual component that have been installed on the car. For the ABS, for example the type of brake booster determines what code is entered and so does the installation of an Electronic Parking brake (as distinct from a normal mechanical brake).
-Inside "Long Coding Helper", there are three lines of message in red font which I do not see in the screens shot posted by other members of the forums.
The "three line message" simply indicates that the special support file for the Long Coding Helper that displays the BIT functions hasn't been developed for the VCDS version that you are using. Nevertheless, changing the value of a byte/bit in the coding string is still possible though. This is done by copying the code in the CURRENT CODING box (top RHS screen in your post) to the clipboard and pasting it into the NEW CODING box. Then manually enter the new bit value into the correct byte (remember that byte numbering starts with 0 - from the LHS). A word of caution when you make these changes -be careful selecting the correct byte and always (repeat, always) keep a copy of the original code somewhere because you may need to roll-back the setting if the tweak goes pear-shaped!
I wonder if our cars have some additional software lock, so to speak, compared to cars in other markets.
Now I understand there are some differences between our cars, being in different markets and all, but I am wondering if anyone with more experience and knowledge of VCDS could shed some light on this. Perhaps some other bytes have to be modified as well? Any feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Roy: Greetings.
First, I note that you are using an outdated version of VCDS software. The version that's displayed in your pics can indicated a pirate cable. Are you using such a device? If so, then the performance of your cable is commensurate with the value of the product! If you are using a genuine Ross Tech cable, then you should update the software to the current version - which has much better support for the mk7
Cheers

Is there an easy way to tell if we have the VC Software?
did not know this. will try next week and see if I have VC enabled.Is there an easy way to tell if we have the VC Software?
Kyle: hello.
Yes, it's real easy to tell if VC is enabled. Just press the VOICE button on the infotainment unit front panel. If the volume is muted you don't have VC. If you hear a chime and a red microphone symbol appears in the top LH corner of the screen you have VC.

A bit different question. Has anyone found out a coding to enable\disable PreCrash feature? All I know there are no specific hardware devices like power windows, sunroof, or seatbelts listed in ETKA to comply with PreCrash system so it should be just a matter of coding. I would love to avoid spending 150euro on a feature that can be software enabled.hello

Great thanks for the link has anyone bother to do it? Also is it possible for the fronts as well?
Dv52 do you know if any of these tweaks will work on a tiguan? Mine has bi xenons up front but only normal halogen rears. Was thinking of replacing the rears with genuine led ones.
I think the mod from dv52 regarding the front maybe illegal or an mot failure over here?

I would say they are illegal as you are indicating with the amber light and flashing with the DRL. I would like to see the insurance claim form explain that to the puzzled driver that pulls across anyone with it enabled. I had it on mine for about 5minutes along with the rears but the front's were taken off as just asking for trouble.
A better option would be the mirrors to flash in opposite phase to the front......

Yes that's what I was getting at I think it states that you not allowed to signal with anything other than an amber colour. This is why US cars over here have to have the red signalling lights changed

OK - isn't it interesting how some see the opposite to others? Both your views are that the counter blinking indicators are confusing, whereas my position is that the lighting arrangement reinforces the intention of the driver to turn in a particular direction. I've had the tweak implemented for quite a while now and my experience is that oncoming traffic has benefitted by my counter blinking arrangement - I've never had the impression that other drivers have been confused - if anything, I get the impression that they are clearer about my intention to turn. But hey, my intention is not to "sell" the tweak - you have raised legitimate concerns which should be considered by anyone before they proceed!
Interesting that your local rules are so specific about turn signals (i.e. they are so sophisticated that when written, they contemplated counter blinking/ unison blinking of multiple lamps), then definitely - don't implement the tweak!!
But I'm surprised that you left the rear tail tweak activated? Surely the same rules apply for the rear of the car - with the tail light tweak enabled, doesn't the red outer tail flashing with the amber turn signal light fall foul of the same, multi-indicator light rule?
New to this guys, hopefully one of you can help.
Whilst setting my Fog lights to come on with my Flash, and High Beam my Cornering, and Dynamic lighting are no longer working, but I have no errors, and the in car settings show them to be on. Assume i've changed a setting without paying attention, amateur! Any help?

For LED DRLs you need to change a few things.... by default in daytime running mode they are on 100% and will dim no problem.
As sidelights they are at minimum dim level of 26% and cannot be dimmed further (otherwise you get error on dash).
Hence I changed the dim value for sidelights up a little (to 75% as 100% is too bright at night and you will dazzle others).
I also made a change so that it goes up to 100% when I flash full beam.
You don't need to but then it will only dim if you indicate when they are in DRL mode (i.e. won't if you're on parking lights, dipped or full beam).

I thought finally the answer to something thats been bugging me for ages but alas despite amending to what you have suggested its not made any difference. All settings have been stored however DRLs still dim upon signalling when sidelights/headlights are on and no visible increase when on high beam.
Yes.
PS: Illegal thou...
Yes.
PS: Illegal thou...
Does anybody know if it's possible to set the indicators as DRL? I loved that VCDS option on the MK5.
Good point about heat production. VW uses PWM on most lights - they don't control current but voltage afaik. I.e. 100% duty cycle compared to 50% means just twice the power (and heat output) not quadruple.
Could you not reduce the duty cycle in the LeuchteXX configuration? :wink:
I changed the dim values for my DRLs in there, you can also do it for the indicators and pretty much any other set of lights.
Technically doing the chance is very easy, you only need to add the desired functions (in the correct order or rather priority!).
In a normal DC circuit with normal R I would agree - however the resistance of an incandescent bulb is anything but constant.
Measure the resistance of a cold 12V 5W bulb..... that is 1 or 2 Ohms. Whereas Ohms Law would tell you it's around 28 Ohms. Just saying.... My guess was that with PWM it probably works out as only around twice the power if you double the voltage from a moderate duty cycle (or dim value).
Can we make the Discover Media SAT Nav display Climate info Like my old Passat CC
It seems like the VW chaps have changed the coding of the voice control button for the cars without voice control. On my 2014 GTI the voice control button would pause/mute the music however on my 2016 GTI the button does not pause the music, it only shows that stupid message and that's about it. Does anyone know if it can be coded with VCDS to pause the music?

Seatbelt link to Brakes: Go to the ABS module (@ address hex03) and navigate to the adaptation channel MAS02666-Seat belt buckle scan. The factory setting for this channel is activated, change not activated. If you need a security number then try one of those that I list HERE (http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f197/vcds-vag-com-codes-programmable-options-golf-mk7-84619-post1128085.html#post1128085)
Brake interlock to Park: I don't know, but I suspect that the interlock is in the tranny control module firmware - not something that VCDS can access

I have changed the Seat belt buckle scan to Not Activated and unfortunately this has not cured it.
Interesting p3asa, thanks for the heads up.
I am not mad about the credit system part, there is no real idea about how that works before you sign up.
Cheers.
Edit> Ah maybe not as bad as anticipated!

When I take my seatbelt off, my Mk7 puts the parking brake on. Is there any way to change this?
Also, can you change a setting so you don't have to press the brake to move from P to D on the DSG?

I've got some instructions that I wrote down for the dimmed DRL mod with indicators. I've checked them at Stemei and they are different. Can anyone shed any light on what the codings for at Stemei? It says it's"Enable dimmed indicators" but what's the difference with the DRL mod and this indicator mod. And sorry if this is a stupid question :smiley:
Which one of the security codes work in the ABS module for the parking brake link to seatbelt?
When I go to enter the 'Security Code', my VCDS shows me the code to enter, does nobody else's do that?
Right, I'm not ashamed to admit that when parking I like to have my drivers door open to make sure I don't kerb etc.
In the in this new GTD the car won't let me reverse with my door open.
So is there some VCDS I can do to sort this as I'm petrified of getting anywhere near a kerb..? LOL
Here's the adaptation channel for setting the fog lights (and the front DRL's) as Coming home lights.
Ignore the channel numbers as they seem to vary depending on the equipment fitted, just look for the German text under "Comfort-Illumination", and set the new value drop down to "Fog Light" - simple as that. (don't forget you will need the security access code as I posted earlier to unlock the module each time you go into it).

Hi Guys
I have just replaced mk7 GTI with a PP version the dealer took delivery in June 2016 and I have just got it on a 17 plate, so MIB 2
Tried to code the full 4 rear brake lights and VCDS is showing it's accepted it but it is not working, had it working on my 64 plate.
I have reset the lights in CAR setup in the head unit still not working.
Any ideas would be great, thanks.
OK guys, in response to some asking for me to start a new thread (mods, please feel free to move if better positioned elsewhere), I'll kick the ball off with my VCDS thread.
Firstly, what is VCDS
VCDS is a software diagnosis package for VAG cars developed by a company called Ross Tech. The software was previously known as VAG-COM, but had to be changed for legal reasons. The software ONLY works with a compatible cable which plugs into the diagnostic port underneath the drivers side dash and enables fault code reading, coding and changes, service resets, tweaks, data logging etc, for all cars supported by your chosen Cable / Software package. It is basically a duplication of the dealers official VAS tablet hardware.
Cables and Software
Basically the genuine Ross Tech cable has a hardware dongle built into the diagnostic port end, that automatically licences the software installed on a Windows based laptop (sorry no mac yet). Currently 2 main cable types are available:
Micro-CAN and HEX-USB+CAN (the latter of which I have).
The difference between the 2 cables is that the former can only be used on cars which utilize the CAN networking system (so basically MK5 Golf onwards), where as the HEX-USB+CAN, also does the the CAN based cars but is also fully backwards compatible with older cars using a single K-line or K plus L
The latest official software from Ross Tech (which I am using) is Version 12.12.0, (non beta). It's only the Version 12 software sets (beta of otherwise), that have any sort of MK7 MQB support, although it's still in it's infancy, with a lot of modules not yet documented, but they are coming through slowly. VW changed the Networking protocols on the MK7 so the earlier versions of the software won't work with the MK7.
Be warned, whilst immensely useful, the cables packages are not cheap and start at a few hundred pounds. There are a few Chinese knock off's off Ebay but these are not recommended and are based around very old software and can't be guaranteed to work with the MK7. Cables can be purchased directly from Ross Tech in the States, or from their UK distributor - Gendan Limited (where mine came from a couple of years ago).
That's the basics out of the way, so I would suggest following posts only contain VCDS tweaks and modifications known to work.
Good luck.

This didn't work for me the other day.
Do you think I'm missing something..?
Does anyone in the west London area have VCDS software etc. and the means to apply these tweaks to my car, for a fee of course
Another consolidation..... sadly I cannot paste the pics onto here ... :sick:
MK7 tweaks :-
1. Amount of fuel (in Gallons) used since the last fill up
Select [17] Instruments
Long Coding - (Function 07)
Go to Byte 10
Enable bit 4
2. [09] Central Electronics Menus is password locked
Go into Function 16 (Permissions)
Enter the code 31347.
3. Disable Seatbelt Warning
Go to [17] Instruments
Adaptation Channels -> function 10
Select disable seatbelt warning (Gurtwarner deaktivieren)
change to "yes" (default: none)
4. Setting Fog as Coming/Leaving Home
Go to [09] Central Electronics
Go to Security Access and enter 31347
Look for the German text under "Comfort-Illumination"
Set the new value drop down to "Fog Light"
5. Display the battery charge level or SOC (state of Charge)
Enter [17] Instruments
Go to adaptation channels, (no need for a security log in with this module)
Scroll down until you see Battery Charge (it's condition on mine was set to "TBD") > simply change it in the new value drop down to "active" and it's done.
Usage
Switch the ignition off, then press (and continue to hold) the trip reset button in the middle lower of the instrument panel. It will cycle from first resetting the trip to 0 miles > show "Time" to allow you to change the clock > then keep holding until say "Battery".
Release the button and display SOC for a few seconds before returning back to the main screen.
6. Automatic rain closing
Go to [09] Central Electronics
Go to Secuity Access and enter 31347
Go to adaptation channels and set the following:
- (15) Access Control 2 - Regenschliessen_ein aus (Rain Closing on / off) - Select Active
- (16) Access Control 2 - Regenschliessen_art (Rain closing Type) set to Permanent
- (28) Access Control 2 - Menuesteuerung Regenschliessen (Menu Control Rain close) – Set to Active (enables the menu in the ifotainment screen)
7. Alarm beep on lock / unlock
[09] Central Electronics
Go to Secuity Access and enter 31347
Adaptation channels, and you are looking for:
(1)-Acknowledgement Signals -Akustische Rueckmeldung entriegen (un-lock acoustic feedback)
(2)-Acknowledgement Signals -Akustische Rueckmeldung verriegeln (lock acoustic feedback)
Set one or both to on if you wish.
Then set the following to "on"
(7)-Acknowledgement Signals -Menuesteuerung akustische Rueckmeldung (Acoustic lock menu)
This enables a menu setting in the "car" settings, "Locking" menu of the infotainment screen to set alarm chirp on or off when locking /unlocking the car and have the option to switch it on or off from the head unit.
8. Gauge sweep
Go to [17] Instrument
Coding -> Function 10
Byte 1
Enable bit 0
9. Turn Signal adjustment
Go into [09] Central electronic
Go to Secuity Access and enter 31347
Go into Adaptation
Select (2) - Turn Signal Controls-Komfortblinken Blinkzykien
Type 5 in New Value (Default is 3)
10. Puddle lights on while folding/unfolding
Go into [42] Door control module
Coding Byte 1, Bit 5 (untick).
11. XDS Adaptation
Go into [03] ABS
Go into Adaptation & select “Expanded electronic differential lock”
New value to select > “Standard”, “Not activated”, “Weak”, “Medium”, “Strong”
12. Headlight washer frequency
To extend the interval cycles that the headlight washers will activate to:-
a) prevent the front of your clean car being sprayed, and
b) to reduce the amount of screen wash usage.
1. Go to [09] Central Electronics
2. STG access permissions -> Function 16
3. Enter access code 31347
4. Go to adaptation channels (Function 10)
5. Select channel 1 - Select "Number of operations front windsceen wiper washer per SRA activation" (in German - Frontscheibenwischer Anzahl Betätigungen Frontwaschanlage pro SRA Aktivierung auswählen)
6. Adjust value to preference (no of times you can operate the windscreen washer stalk before the headlight washer activate).
7. Select channel 3, and adjust the activate time for folding the switch to enable headlight washers in the first place.
Not tired this one myself (yet :grin:), but got this from over on the German Forums. As you know when the mirrors are folded in, the puddle lights are switched off until they are fully retracted.
Using this option apparently enables then to illuminate even when closed and through the whole of the folding / un-folding process.
Might be useful for some.
Can be found in the Door control module [42], Byte 1, Bit 5 (untick).

Similar to mk7. Getting mk7.5 rear led indicators is not just a coding issue....
It's probably not time, but speed.
My old Audi Q3, was set to turn off camera at 15kmh, highest I could go was 25kmh with VCDS.
Not seen this one mentioned but here is a tweak that when the main beam is activated (either by the flash or full main beam), the front LED fogs come on as well. I tried this out last night and it works really well. The main beam of the Xenon headlights gives a super strong and focused beam into the distance, and the front fogs very nicely illuminate the area to the front and sides of the car. When dipping for on coming traffic, the fogs just switch off in tandem with the main beam. When travelling at speed on unilluminated country roads, it really does light the whole road up for you.
Remember if you do this on a GTI or GTD, then as we have LED front fogs, don't forget to change the illumination value to 127 not 100 (which is for halogen fogs).
Anyway here it is (credit to DV52 over at the vwwatercooled.com.au and vwvortex.com forums).
VCDS Tweak - Fog Light (and High Beam) "Flasher"
From the main screen select 09-Cent. Elect
When the BMC screen opens, select Security Access-16
Enter the magic number 31347
When the main BCM screen returns, select Adaptation-10
Change the settings in adaptation channels shown in the two Tables below to the "New Value":
Note1: The channels in the Tables below are about 80% down the list of channels on the VCDS adaptation screen
Note2: Select the adaptation channels carefully as other channels have similar descriptions
Note3: If LED Fog Lights are installed - change adaptation channel (10) on both left and right fog-lights to "127" (instead of "100")
Note4: Adaptation channels (11) - (i.e. last row in Table) should not need to be changed, but the settings should be checked

Thanks for the reply, but seeing as the original post was from 2014, I figured it would work on a 2014 car. I can't seem to get it to work on my late 2016 car, which could well be different.
