how very strange indeed

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 

Fantastic... Thanks
Weird I did not see (and used) this option before...

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...
Setting it to Media or CD will defaults it to 5.
Weird it works like that.
Will try tomorrow.

I would prefer to have it on 0 at any time.
Hopefully there is a tweak for that.

Did what you suggested, but still it defaults to the minimal volume (5) unfortunately... 
Anyone another idea? Can this be changed in the Car's software maybe?

You need to have the unit on radio not phone and then turn it down.

Hi,

I've managed to put a lot of the tweaks onto my post BW22 GTI today and I just wanted to say thanks for all the work and effort that you guys have put into this thread - really appreciated.

If there's anything I can do in terms of supplying info (I added plenty of options to the car including car-net, etc, just let me know.

Cheers, Neil.

mcmaddy,
Your suggestion works, but I would call it a poor work-around
I prefer a solution where I can set the volume to zero so the radio never starts playing when I start the car.
Can't think of a reason why VW implemented it this way...

So if anyone knows of a tweak that enables this, I'm interested to hear about it 

[mcmaddy]

It's not a work around it's just the way the unit is.

[brenzef]

It's not a work around it's just the way the unit is.

I understand that.
I want to have things working the way I like it, and that's not making sure I put the unit on radio before I step out
I just want to not think about it.

Hi Guys, i'm new to this forum (and from the Netherlands) and i am searching for weeks now for the right coding, but i was not able to find it. Maybe someone here knows the coding or is willing to help me find it out?? The three things i would really like are;

1] When the (OEM) alarm goes off, the blinkers & siren go on. But i also want my front (DRL) & tail light to go on. Is this possible?

2] The (OEM) alarm goes off bij Siren, but is it also possible tot activate siren AND horn? I found some coding for that but that didn't work  The code was :
1) open 9 Cent. Elect.
2) Adaptation
3) Select channel (7)-Anti-theft device-Akustischer Alarm Signalhorn
4) Set it to Active.

3] Is it possible, when locking the car (by remote) de windows close automatically? Just by 1 push (and not holding the close button)?

I know, it is al lot for a new member, but iff someone knows it, it must be here

Hope reading from you guys!
