Would have been far better if VW had built the puddle lights into the mirror bases (as they don't rotate), then they could have switched on no matter what position the mirror was in.

Has anyone been advised whether coding can be done by dealers for pre-BW45 owners?

JM - I would think it very unlikely a dealer would agree to or be able to get involved in coding, for what is in effect a mod, unless sactioned by VW. This, if its a software only mod, is going to be a private VCDS thing.

Did I notice you are picking yours up from Bedford?

If so, I am pretty local and have a VCDS cable you can come and use if you like.

I would do some reserach and practice with minor tweaks first - making code alterations is not the first thing you want to be doing when using VCDS for the first time!

That would be brilliant..might need to collate a few tweaks from the thread in Mk7 root..

I will of course stick to tried and tested mods; I'm an automation engineer so certainly not afraid of getting my hands dirty with coding.

Really hoping someone uncovers the coding for retro fitting rear camera!

Should only be a few days now til GTD!

The changes to mirrors and new lightning iPhobe MDI cable were from BW45.  If your car was BW45 or above I would expect the changes.
