MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

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 

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 

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:

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?

Worth a try though, although I like the start/ stop, I'll leave it to someone else to try!

  I won't lie, I'm pretty chuffed it actually worked..just surprised VW only assigned one light config for it, where they've done individual left and right for the main cluster of brake lights.

I am pretty sure being able to disable stop-start would be very useful for a lot of owners.  Seems to have a mixed response about the feature from many drivers.

can't you disable stop start in the menu in the car? (Or the button by the gearstick? - can't remember which!)

You can, but it's enabled again once you turn off/ on the ignition.

Would be interesting to see what the stop start status on the infotainment screen says..

Okay, so thought I'd try the start stop mod and it appears to have worked. It refused to activate throughout my half hour round trip. When I checked the status display, the below was there:



Can't see why that message would come up, I turned everything off but wouldn't clear. Guess it's the mod.

Your mileage may vary, but I've taken it off as I'd prefer to keep it active. I worked after I put it back.
