MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[jeffreyt]

For those with alarm from factory, a small coding to activate the horn besides the normal siren when the alarm kicks in. I find this useful because TBF the standard siren's volume is quite low.
So:
1) open 9 Cent. Elect.
2) Adaptation
3) Select channel (7)-Anti-theft device-Akustischer Alarm Signalhorn
4) Set it to Active.

In addition to my previous post; This was posted by GeoBog. But in my case it didn't worked.. Saidfully..

Velkommen Robert 

I'm sure 99% of our British members would have far worse Norwegian than your English which is better than many of our English members write, me included!

Post up some pictures of your car in another thread as it looks like it has been modified nicely and looks very interesting

Hi everybody, I'm also new around here! My car had service last week and it seems they updated something via VAGCOM, the TPMS is now able to show which tire is low on pressure (it wasn't able before the service). How does that system work on your cars?






I've also tried some codes I found on this thread, but a couple of them got rejected by the car. I guess it's something related to being a RoW spec car but built in Mexico. By the way, I found a way to reset the AFS level after getting springs installed. Got that done after installing VWR Springs and the range was almost back to the original.

Greetings from Colombia,

It's always told you which tyre to check, at least it has in the UK. Can't recall any updates to this from VW.

[GrahamFR]

hmm i dont know if mine does...? but it'll take a nail to find out so im not too bothered about testing that theory!

[itavaltalainen]

Doesn't always tell you which tyre. Suppose it depends how much discrepancy is on rolling diameter.

You could always let a little air out the valve.
In fact its probably something we should do from time to time to make sure the system still works as I know I just rely on it now.

Yes it does.

[itavaltalainen]

No it does not always. It will tell you if there is a genuine loss of pressure, but if it is down to temperate and wear it will give you a generic 'check tyre pressure' warning. Seen both a few times on my car.
