Excellent work Michael, very interesting, and thanks for posting Andrew. I've slowly been trying to decipher the different 'Leuchte' numbers and this one I wasn't sure of, but now looks like Leuchte 27 is both the left and right boot lid LEDs.

Thanks for your work gents. If we could add this to the VCDS wiki, that would be great Michael is welcome to register!

You know i was only thinking about this the other day, it seemed strange to me that only the outside lit up under breaking whereas on Audi's or at least A4's it did the full cluster. Good find lads, im adding this to the list (plus the drl increase one)!

Michael very kindly PM'd me the details of this mod as well. Great work guys!

so when we brake now only the high level and outside lights come on?? when using hill hold do all the lights come on??

Yes, only the outer clusters are used for brake lights, the inners don't come on at all for brakes. When you are in hill/auto hold mode sitting at traffic lights, all your brake lights are on until you move off (and this mod will make your rear even brighter...)

Also inside LEDs come on high level after recoding

when using hill hold do all the lights come on??

I didnt try that but i think yes.

Welcome Michael!

I noticed something odd, wondering if you noticed this or know of a way to stop it.

I have set my coming come lights to come on automatically when the driver door opens. This works fine. I have configured DRLs and Fogs to come on. This works. The odd thing happens when the coming home lights are on, you close the door, and then when you lock the car the inside red LEDs on the boot go off but the outside stay on!

What madness is this?!

[JoeGTI]

Mine does the same thing!

[Sootchucker]

Yep mine to. Think the CH is coded to only work with the outer light clusters. It's probably another one of the hundred or so light settings in the Central electronics module adaptation channels.

I'll let you find that one

Can the brake lights be coded off when the auto hold is on?
