MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[dv52]

Whilst we seem to have some more VCDS experts on board (yes GeoBog and dv52 I'm talking about you  ), there are 4 nice to haves that would be really great if they could be coded (not sure they can but worth asking). I have asked about some of these before, but you never know ?

Sootchucker: Thanks for the kind- words, but alas I fear that your description is a great deal more than overly-generous! I've only been playing with Mr Ross's cable for a short while,  so I'm very much a novice compared to the real VCDS Guru's here.  I suspect that you will have to rely on the talents of Geobob  (whose reputation has reached even our far-flung southerly shores) to tackle your pet-tweaks! Doubtless we will both learn together.

Well then Geobog - no pressure then

There used to be option to either have the hazards or the fast flashy brake light type for emergency braking. Not sure if its the same on the mk7

There is a channel I came across that translates into emergency brake lights. I can't remember the german text but I'll post it later when I get a chance.

Found it. It's labelled (1)-Assistance light functions-Notbremsanzeige NBA.

LE: cheers for the kind words but I am affraid I am far from calling myself an "expert" Just bought the RT cable last month and been playing with it for a short time. Maybe because I work in IT-software makes me more curious in finding different VCDS tweaks.

In other words, has anyone got a clue what the labels for the WWS module bits are? Or if somebody has the VCDS label file for this module, would be appreciated if you could share.





If not, I'll raise this with Ross Tech, maybe they can create a label file for this module.

[dv52]

Geobog: I don't have a label file for the slave module in your pic, but I believe that it is the control module for the front wiper.

[GeoBog]

DV52 you are correct, that is why I asked  . I am still struggling to get the tear wipe working because activating the adaptation channels had no effect on my car. I have read somewhere on the Skoda forum that it might require additional coding on that WWS module by activating one of the bits.

Another short feature that was bugging me for a while and that I have managed to activate today is folding in mirrors on re-locking. This channel needs activated: (39)-Access control 2-Spiegelanklappen_bei_Wiederverriegelung

@Sootchucker, regarding your BT query, I had a quick look today at the BT module but none of the coding bits are labeled so not sure what each of them does.

[Sootchucker]

Cheers pal. Out of interest, is the bluetooth unit a separate module or contained within the infotainment unit [5F] ?

You can help Ross-Tech out by following the instructions and sending them a scan of modules that have no labels. http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Control_Module_Maps

I did for my infotainment unit and got a nice reply to say thanks for providing it.

Ive got one for you lads. On my Leon if you wanted to fold the mirrors in, you held the lock button, which I enjoyed as you dont always need to fold them and this constantly folding can't be good for them, they are making some painful noises sometimes. So I ask thee, can we change the golf to act like this, and for us keyless peeps, could we press the handle for a bit to act the same...?

[ajmoir36]

I have to admit, I want it off as I use a garage, and so before I put it in the garage I turn the knob on the door, just as I get out I turn it back. If I want them in when I park somewhere else I just turn it before I open the drivers door. Before I drive off I just turn it again. (Simples). If I used the fob I would a) tear them off on the way into the garage or b) tear them off on the way out.

It is a slave module under 5F-Information Electr. See below an extract of my autoscan, it's the ABT_Std_Nav component.

Graham, unfortunately the twits at VW have included the comfort options in the BCM 09 Cent. Electric module and the options are somewhat limited. On the older GTIs there was a separate comfort module with many options. I have a similar frustration as I know on the MK6 you could activate the windows to close automatically when you lock the car (without holding the button on the keyfob). This was possible by activating a bit on the Comfort module. Can't do that on the MK7...
