MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

Isn't the first link the download for the Nav Pro and the second for the standard Navigation ?

Was wondering if they tried an upgrade it might solve the issue.

Right guys, bit of an update !!
I coded my new unit with the coding from my original japanese unit...and guess what....i lost all my UK FM channel frequency again !
so went through the bytes one by one changing them until it changed back and found out that byte 9 on the jap unit was 33, byte 9 on the uk unit was 11, changed it back and hey presto, FM channels are back !! so it looks like it was just a coding change for the frequencys !!
i still have no nav working though now ! or no compass in my clocks, just says no nav data

so im thinking, what will happen if i put my old unit back in and change byte 9 to 33 ? i should be able to get FM channels but doubt the nav will work !!

i have got the coding numbers for both units so will put them up on here to see the differences if anyone can advise me on what the bytes mean ??

 0   1   2    3   4   5   6  7   8   9  10  11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18  19 20 21 22 23 24  bytes
02 73 00  06  FF 00 00 00 21 33  00 01 00 10 00 00 1F 02  03 26 01 00 01 00 76 japanese infot unit
02 73 00  01  FF 00 00 00 11 11  12 01 00 08 00 00 1F 02  02 C6 01 00 01 00 57 European info unit

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)

what car/model is this coding number off please ? quite a few different coding numbers to both the ones i have put up ?? any idea what the different bytes are for ? i know byte 18 is for start-up badge, byte 9 is to do with radio frequncy's (i think) !!

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.

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)

All thanks go to mihaelo1  (Michael) and his friends for this one. Enjoy.

Big thanks to michaelo1 and sootchucker for this. Just a quick query - would you advise also carrying out this adjustment at the same time:

[ 09 - Power Station ] -> [ Security Access - 16] 31,347 -> [ Adaptation - 10] -> " (11) -Leuchte27NSL RC6 CD -Dimming Direction 27" from the dropdown list

Select " maximize "

Thanks

I have the setting in the pictures but what is the set up you are asking about, what does that do?

I have it set up the same as yourselves and it works fine. It was when I was researching other vcds mods I found a French website that lists the brake light mod with an additional 3rd step - not entirely sure what it's for myself though. Was hoping sootchucker or anyone else with good knowledge on vcds might have been able to shed a bit of light on it .

Ok I don't care if it's legal or not I must have that! Someone please tell me they know how to do that??
