Hi.
I have a 2009 gt tdi with luxury and convenience pack. Is it possible to have the footwell lights on whilst driving? My mate has a 2011 gtd and his footwell lights are on whilst driving.
Amy help would be appreciate cheers!

It's altered by the multi function computer on the GTD and GTi but not sure about the GT? Have you had a play about with these settings?
-
I have yeah, upped it to 100% but not sure if that's just for when the doors open. I will check what it says on the options and let you know. Seems weird that only Gtis and gtd can do it tho!?

Mine are on when driving.
-
Is yours a GTI or GTD?
-
It's the GT in his sig mate. ;)
-

Yeah, it's a GT. The footwell lights come on with the ignition.
-
Ah yes the signature, stupid me!
Just checked the MFD and footwell lights are on at 100% but nothing when driving. I think I may need a dash update from VW? If I can be bothered that is!
Does ur Gt show you your tyre pressure, or does it just indicate when it is below a certain PSi? Just wondering as my boss has a new passat and his systems states the pressure on each tyre. I thought mine had that but believe I just have a warning indicator? Again not essential, just would like things to work if I have them.
Cheers.

My Golf just has a TPMS warning light in the dash and a reset button in the glovebox. It's a bit half assed really as is works on wheels speed sensors. If a tyre deflates, its overall rolling radius reduces, therefore the wheel speeds up to keep up with the other 3.
I also have a 2011 Passat, and that has a "proper" tyre pressure monitoring with sensors in each tyre valve and a live data display on the instrument cluster.

Going back on my earlier statement, the footwell lights come on at 100% brightness with the interior lights, then dim down to the preset brightness when the ignition is turned on.

Just turn on in Vag-Com to be on all the time use Terminal 58 i think. So i have my red LED set to 90% when driving, looks nice.
-
Spot on, terminal 58 it was on the vcds. Massive thumbs up to Chris from Sunderland for doing this, top bloke. Interior lights now replaced with white LED's and footwell looks so much better than the standard bulbs!
-
Uh..stupid question time... Why do you footwell lights on whilst driving? Do you have nice shoes or something?
-
In case you drop something.
-
It's ambient lighting. It's surprising how gloomy my Passat seems inside without them compared to my Golf.
I have them set at 30% which I think is nice and subtle. They come on at full brightness with the interior lights, but dim down when driving.

I got a lift off my mate in his GTD and when driving noticed his footwell lights were on and I liked it, hence wondered why mine didn't stay on. It's a nice ambient light, not necessary I know but nice all the same. Personal preference I guess!
-

Are you serious? Fishing round for something u dropped whilst driving? Asking for a crash or a kurbed wheel

Yea thats fair enough mate just wondered

So to enable the footwell lights in a gti do you enable it with vag com?
-

yes. I put detail in my above post matey - I have red LEDs set to 90% :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
When you all talk about the footwell lights being on all the time whilst driving, do you mean just when your headlights are on (doors closed), or on regardless of headlights being on?
-

yes. I put detail in my above post matey - I have red LEDs set to 90% :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
The footwell lights can be enabled/disabled in the mfd, you don't need vagcom/vcds.

How many LED's is there in total? I will start looking for some

I don't see it on my MFD :embarrassed:
-
I had quick look earlier all it said was lights nothin about interior ones?
-
Have you looked in the footwells to see if the lights are fitted?
-
Lol i know they are they come on with door open
-
I don't see it on my MFD :embarrassed:

In my MFD, it's in Lights & Vision menu - Footwell Lights. Mine are on all the time when driving (with dipped beam headlights on). Also thinking of swapping to red LEDs.

This is how mine was. :huh:
-
Had a look at my mfd its says coming home lights,comfort or sumthing,factory reset,back???
-
Have you had a look in comfort and convenience?
-
Don't think i did assumed as its lights would be in there :/
-

Some peoples are not enabled from factory. So you enable them using VCDS and then switch them on using the MFD :smiley:
-
Is this enabled through comfort to enable in the mfd? Or does it need enabling via vag com vcds to allow me to acces via mfd?
-
If it's not in the MFD, it'll need enabling via VCDS
-
They don't need to be LEDs, normal red bulbs will be perfectly adequate.

True, but it's just as easy to get red LEDs :smiley:

So was it part of a pack then?

Hmm, who knows? Very confusing.
I haven't got any 'packs' over the standard and I've got it! Have got xenons though.

Mine isn't showing in the MFD.
How do you do it with VAGCOM? I will have a trip to my local VW indy soon :wink:
