High beam assist comes on at 40mph (as does lane assist I think)
Where I live that speed is too high (narrow windy roads) can the dealer lower this with VACD?

I was also going to ask this question. On my BMW the speed at which the Xenons start some of their dance routines is 40 mph.
-
I thought it was 37mph. No dealer is going to change that for you even if they knew how to.
-
The threshold for high beam assist can be lowered.
I have done this with VCDS (to just above 30mph)
-
Could you please explain how you didvthat? Thanks.
-
I'd never noticed this "feature" until the other night when I pulled out into a dark unlit lane and the high beam didn't flip up until I was going quite fast. I did think it was broken or just having a spaz :D
Does it really stop working altogether when sub 40mph or does it not initially start working until you hit 40mph then works at any speed depending on the amount of ambient light it can see?
Tweaking it down to 30mph would be a useful thing I think.
-
it does not start until 37 mph . it will stay on at lower speeds as long as it doesn't detect any other light source street lighting etc .
-
is this a standard feature?
-
No. Its "High beam assist"

lol, back to bed... :whistle:

:grin:
That was a bit like asking at the ice cream van, how much their penny sweets are LoL
-
Yeah lol didnt read it properly, I was thinking about the motorway lights or highway lights that I tried activating on my leon with no success, does anyone know if thats standard on the golf?
-

Sure....
Just go into the coding and choose the channel and reduce the speed high beam comes on... it's in km/h btw (even in UK cars).
Address 20:5G0 857 511 D recoded (ADP-Activation speed for high beam assistant) from 58 km/h to 48 km/h
-
Thank you - thats really appreciated but not sure I am with you.
Could you make it step by step instructions please - like an 'idiots guide'?
Which controller (09 Central electrics, 17 instrument etc).
Is it then via adaptation or coding?
Many thanks
-
module 20, adaptation, then look for ADP-Activation speed for high beam assistant and change the speed to around 45-50km/h (otherwise it will come on way too soon).
-
Many thanks for posting that extra info :smiley:

Not got access to that (VCD), how likely is it the dealer will do that?
Or perhaps I could go to a non dealer vw garage?
-
Im pretty certain a dealer would not be able to do such a "mod".....your best bet is a local VW independent garage or a fellow forum member who has VCDS.

PS If your ever in Cleethorpes I could do it for you.

Checked an independent dealer £60 :)
Anyone live north of York happy to chip in

60£ for 5 minutes work??????????
It'd be cheaper for you to drive down to M5/J7 and me to code it.... :whistle:
