MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[Vedubber]

That is pretty cool!!

Can any one help with the DRL brightness, on the wiki it shows them being able to be set to 100% all time (DRL, side lights, dipped beam, main beam ) but I would just like to set them to 100% on DRL and side light only. I have had a search but it always comes back to 100% all modes.

Not played with the VCDS yet only had it a couple of days, going to wait until the weekend.

Vedubber - I couldnt find out how to do that either. In the end I selected 50% and what that does is reduce the intensity on side lights and main beam but keeps it at full strength on normal DRL use. It works for me as I tend to use sidelights in later afternoon murky weather but the tiny little LED's are useless - having them supplemented by the DRL's works well as they are bright enough for dull conditions without blinding other drivers

Found this one the Briskoda forum,


DRL Doesn’t dim on side light, but does dim on low beam - only when ignition is on (returns to normal when ign off)
(4)-Daytime running lights-Parking light activates additionally daytime running lights from not active to Active

Does this seem like the right info?

Car is going in on thursday to have a few bits changed, so will try it then.

Now that is interesting.....wander if the LED indicators can be programmed to operate like the new Audi TT indicators.
Probably does not have full control over each LED ....

Im going to predict no. By the looks of this we can only change the indicator because its in two parts, the TT must have several parts it can change to get it the way it is. Still, I am more than happy with how cool this looks!

Is it legal? Looks like the sort of thing that might attract the attention of an officer of the law....

[GrahamFR]

hey if the tt has fancy ones that light up multiple sections, this should be allowed also! Plus, i dont care

Wow that is a great look but I can imagine you getting pulled by the police as it looks like emergency lights.

Before I got my GTD and when I was watching everything MK7 related    I came across a video of a GTI/GTD being unlocked and the rear red lights scrolling up and down almost dancing. Anyone seen the video or know if that is possible?

I've been trying to find it to no avail.
