MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[Mark V GTD]

Chaps - I'm not happy... VCDS seems to be a bit of a challange with the Mk.7. I have done a couple of things without an issue but most recently I am really struggling.

For example I set the indicator comfort blinks to 4 - command accepted - all OK, went back in to VCDS to check and there it is set at four. In practice - stil three blinks. Checked again - still shows 4.... WTF??

Nest job I tried was this:

1. Go to [09] Central Electronics
2. STG access permissions -> Function 16
3. Enter access code 31347
4. Go to adaptation channels (Function 10)
5. Select channel 1 - Select "Number of operations front windsceen wiper washer per SRA activation" (in German - Frontscheibenwischer Anzahl Betätigungen Frontwaschanlage pro SRA Aktivierung auswählen)
6. Adjust value to preference (no of times you can operate the windscreen washer stalk before the headlight washer activate).
7. Select channel 3, and adjust the activate time for folding the switch to enable headlight washers in the first place.

Again, abject failure - firstly using UK/English VCDS I entered the 31347 security code, all OK - but then could not find the adaptation channel - I know there must be 500 lines of commands but I could find nothing that looked right after scrolling up and down for ten minutes.

I then used Sootchuckers suggestion and tried German VCDS - surely enough there was the correct line "Frontscheibenwischer Anzahl Betätigungen Frontwaschanlage pro SRA Aktivierung auswählen"

But I could not get the security section (16) to accept the 31347 access code!

Never had issues with VCDS in year of Scirocco ownership - in fact if I had just got it for this car it would be going back to the supplier for a refund!

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks!

I'm reluctant to buy my own VCDS setup but does anyone know of places in central Scotland or any members in Scotland with the system who are willing to do it for some cash/beer? 

I've got one mate and just down the road

Hello, 

Yesterday i have build the cruise control Tempomat and let it code by the dealer with the lizens code to activate.

Everything is oke and working well, but i have two fehlers!


Other Forum Golf 7 users have this done at the dealership and have the same error.

Has asked the dealer, but that seems to look normal after Retrofitting coding!

Is this normal or can this be coded out.

Thanks!

Go to Discovery Pro and Reset the Light Settings. Then it will work.

Vcds has Problems with the MQB Cars. For Example, with VCDS it is not possible to get Rainclosing working, because the RLFS can not be coded. VCP- Pro can do this since 07/2013.

You want the clear Coding of the 42 and 52? Look at this 6 Photos Stg42 + stg 52.

Thanks Triumph... yes there certainly are issues!

What do you mean exactly - the factory re-set for the lights?  That will get the system to respond to my VCDS adjustment?

Thanks again.....

When was yours built? My bw51 is doing similar things,  for instance changing the taillights to on permanently with drl,  battery charge state etc... command accepted but didn't work. Tried 4 things and only rain closing worked in terms of something changing,  i.e. The menu feature appeared but can't say I had time to test it.

BW8 - two weeks since collection. I did get VCDS to do three or four things - mirror lights on while folding, silence seat belt warning alarm chirp and fan lights showing on Auto....

You have to reset only the Light Settings in the Discovery (factory Reset Light). After that the Discovery will take the Settings stored in BCM / ECU 9. Thats all.

Thanks again - I will give that a go!

Mark what did you do to activate the auto air con lights?
