MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[Dan Burnley]

Anyone in the North West got access to VCDS? I want to literally change one thing but don't not see the point in buying the gear for just that. Wondering if anyone could kindly help??

what do you wanna change?

what do you wanna change?

Just the brightness of the DRLs to 100% on the side lights, so I can have my rear LEDs and DRLs on at same time. If I remember from a thread somewhere on here on side lights the brightness is only 30%, which IMO you cant even see them.

ah ok, yeah that should be possible (there a channel for it at least)... going up north tomorrow but from london direction, can meet at m1 services (wetherby?) but won't know what time until i actually leave from london (depends how job goes).... also if you're really in burnley that's quite a drive on a friday afternoon

Unfortunately I'm working all day tomorrow then going straight out on a lads night out. Thanks for trying, much appreciated, maybe when your passing again sometime or if someone else could help?

Boo..

borrowed my mates cable today. battery charge doesn't work, rear lights on with DRL doesn't work, fuel used in gallons doesn't work...

Once the setting is changed, it stores it, but nothing seems to happen with anything i've tried so far.

Oh, and someone has spammed the hell out of the VCDS site.

Edit: auto rain closing worked fine.

[itavaltalainen]

which's the version you're using... things you say works on mine fine...

Cable or Software?

Software is release 12.12 downloaded just yesterday. The actual coding can be navigated to, but when you make the changes instructed in the wiki, it will change the flag but nothing happens.

Rain closing of windows on the car convenience menu was the only thing that I could get to work. I've flagged the taillights for DRL activation, and tried to add gallons used and battery charge to the MFD and whilst all markers have been updated I get no change in the car.

I don't really understand what is going on tbh. Mine's a BW51.
