Reading that about making lane assist on at start...

Does anyone know if high beam assist can be set to be on at start? Having automatic lights is crap if you have to turn HBA on each time.

Same with traction control, auto hold, park assist etc etc

At least it sort of remembers the driving mode between stops...

Not seen this one mentioned but here is a tweak that when the main beam is activated (either by the flash or full main beam), the front LED fogs come on as well. I tried this out last night and it works really well. The main beam of the Xenon headlights gives a super strong and focused beam into the distance, and the front fogs very nicely illuminate the area to the front and sides of the car. When dipping for on coming traffic, the fogs just switch off in tandem with the main beam. When travelling at speed on unilluminated country roads, it really does light the whole road up for you.

Remember if you do this on a GTI or GTD, then as we have LED front fogs, don't forget to change the illumination value to 127 not 100 (which is for halogen fogs).

Anyway here it is (credit to DV52 over at the vwwatercooled.com.au and vwvortex.com forums).

VCDS Tweak - Fog Light (and High Beam) "Flasher"

    From the main screen select 09-Cent. Elect
    When the BMC screen opens, select Security Access-16
    Enter the magic number 31347
    When the main BCM screen returns, select Adaptation-10
    Change the settings in adaptation channels shown in the two Tables below to the "New Value":


Note1: The channels in the Tables below are about 80% down the list of channels on the VCDS adaptation screen
Note2: Select the adaptation channels carefully as other channels have similar descriptions
Note3: If LED Fog Lights are installed - change adaptation channel (10) on both left and right fog-lights to "127" (instead of "100")
Note4: Adaptation channels (11) - (i.e. last row in Table) should not need to be changed, but the settings should be checked

Ha..always on the lookout for more boys.

I'm currently trying to find the following (not sure if they even exist).

1. Activate other menus for bluetooth in the MFD other than just last calls (like the phone book)

2. Activate the climate graphic automatically on screen when adjusting a setting on the climate control (like it did on my Scirocco -  just because I think it looked cool)

3. Find a way to change the colour scheme on the MFD to something more colourful. For instance Nav direction arrows in colour etc (like they are on the New A3 and Octavia III, which I guess share similar components and software).

Like I say, they may not exists but more tweaks are being found each day and I think it's our duty to bring them to a wider audience  :grin:

I know I am slightly behind the curve here - but I tried to set my DRL's to be always at 100% - followed the instructions here very carefully but both channels requiring adjustment came up as 'Channel not available'... am I missing something?

I had similar problems with drl, and I was on the wrong option from the drop down menu, there are many similar looking ones but are you sure you have the exact wording right?

Yes there are lot of similar settings - but I am 100% certain that they were the correct ones:

Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert CD 2
Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert CD 3

Mine is a March 2014 GTD.

I also tried the 'full width brake lights' mod and then went perfectly - seems very strange that its not set up this way from the factory.....
