MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[cebbes30]

hello,

i have install the fog lights in my car vw golf 7 thru the circuit diagram that was easy.
Olso install a licht switch wit fog lichts.

But i dont now how i can activate this thru vag com,

Can anyone tell me how i can do this!

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 ?

Initial findings, surprisingly, aren't too hopeful I'm afraid .

At lunch, I had a good look through all the long coding options and adaptation options for the Auto HVAC controller and this didn't reveal anything associated with displaying climate settings on the infotainment screen...but did see some other interesting items..

The second port of call I made was the Information Electr. module (5F), which I thought was plausible given the nature of the tweak. The adaptation channels were aplenty, and labelled, with various options for enabling options in the MFD and Car menu on the main unit, but nothing pertaining to the HVAC! I'll get an export of the channels tonight and go through them in more detail to make sure I've not missed anything.

Unfortunately, the labels aren't there for the long coding, but there's a good 25 bytes of code. I compared this with the coding I found for the Octavia and there's an awful lot of differences - trying to work out each being russian roulette with the ECU no doubt!

For info..

Now there are certainly some similarities (even though the hardware used is different) and it would seem to make sense to place them in this module, but unless someone is feeling particularly lucky, we may have to wait for some suitable labels to be released..

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.

Anybody else read this with the voice of Barry Scott from the Cillit Bang adverts?

  Looks like spam to me.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm not sticking anything but Genuine Ross-Tech cables in to my car..

[triumph61]

Sorry, that´s not Spam. That works really. You don´t use for you, pehaps other people want the features.
A lot of people in EU are using the VCP Tool since years.

@jivemonkey
you know:
Dimming DRLs on Turn Indication

to which one you give the Thank? Look at my User Name...

You are Biskoda member Triumph61... ok well you have my attention now then

[jivemonkey]

That is irrelevant in this context, either way, even though I referenced a Briskoda member for his contribution of accurate code posting, it does not, unfortunately, mean everything this member may say throughout the internet is to be taken as gospel.

This doesn't change my preference toward cheap cables, and that's what it is, my preference. I have not advised anyone else what they should do nor have advised against the product in general. People will make their own minds up.

If you don't wish for your posts to be suspected of a spamming nature, may I suggest you rephrase most of it.

I wouldnt say rephrase, thats better english than i speak deutsche, but the way its laid out with the lines and stuff looks spammish.

Also, those cables arent cheap at 200 euro's and may work but ive just had a look at that VCP forum thing and it has a suspiciously low number of members...

I wasn't referring to the language used, the english is very good, but I was referring to the references to how VCDS is inadequate for functions we have already enabled and tested, and how this other tool just so happens to solve all "problems".

WRT cheap:

Why VCP ?

- project started in 2008, continously updated
- unique Guided functions OCF (OneClickFunction)
- First in the world 3rd party cheap flasher for VW
- First in the world 3rd party cheap flasher supporting UDS
- First in the world ESP MK60EC1 offline coding solution
- First in the world 3rd party cheap Diagnose tool supporting fully MQB (Golf VII, Octavia III). Support since 01.2013
- First in the world 3rd party cheap Diagnose tool supporting Parameter (ZDC) upload
- First in the world VIM solution for Discover Pro and MMI-MQB

..I was taking it from their website.

I'll hold back for now.

The forums does look very quiet indeed..especially considering it's been used for years in Europe.
