Hey guys.
Been loitering for a while but just decided it's about time to join! I hope this is in the right section!
I've been wanting to get xenons from the day I got my car, back in October, had them in my mk4 and mk5, so going back to halogens is a big no for me!
So I've done a lot of research into it but there's a couple of points i'm still unclear on, and I'm hoping someone here can answer them.
I know the bcm is going to need changing, as I have a 086, I know I need an 087, but what about the letter at the end? There's so many variants, what differs from the letters?
When I started looking into fitting the AFS (self levelling) the first thing I noticed was the kits only use the rear sensor, where the mk5 install used front and rear.
That's fine, but I've now come across a kit that uses front and rear sensors! So I'm now confused, what's the difference, and what one do I need??
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

http://www.carsystems.pl/vw-auto-leveling-sensor-retrofit-kit-vw-golf-vi-6-xenon,id462.html this is the kit you need, only 1 sensor needed. There is a link somewhere to a bcm on ebay £60 Mavs will fill you in on the rest. If your going AFS then your going OEM.
-
Thanks for the reply.
And here's the 2 sensor kit http://www.carsystems.pl/vw-auto-leveling-2x-sensor-retrofit-kit-vw-golf-vi-6-xenon,id992.html
Which is why I'm confused, what's the difference- if 1 serves an added feature I'd like to know what!
Cheers

Was VAG tech that fitted mine it's only the one sensor kit on the GTD/GTi. AFS works like a dream. You could ask them at Carsystems, but the kit in the link is the one i have.
-
On some of your other points. When i ordered a BCM i got a comparable year ED35 and from the the number plate on Auto Trader. That way i knew that the BCM would have the base software. Think mine ends in AE. I would presume as the car evolves and Toys added the BCM software is upgraded hence changes in part number.
There is a levelling kit retrofit at Golf.au.net. M4RKO did the write up. He also used the carsystems kit, only one sensor used.
As to coding or even wiring diagrams a boy on there did screen shots and his wiring diagrams, well as i said, he could get a job with NASA! http://forums.ross-tech.com/showthread.php?2183-Golf-MK6-Bi-Xenon-with-LED-DRL-and-AFS-retrofitted and another AFS link http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46536&page=4

I retrofitted mine a few years back and just used the rear sensor.
ROSS-TECH supplied me with the code for that configuration.
If you have ACC (Adaptive Chassis Control) then both sensors will already be fitted and the AFS module gets the levelling information from the ACC module over the CAN bus. This requires a different code in the AFS module.
-
Not sure about the AFS, but if you need any pointers swopping out and coding the new BCM, its pretty fresh in my head at the moment having only just done this myself the other week :smiley: And with a great help from Mr Golfhappy himself :cool:

Thanks for the replies, all very helpful.
Very good idea getting a comparable VRM offautotrader, I'll try that!
I've found the wiring diagram, I'm thinking of making the loom up myself again (as I did on the mk5) only thing is, I need loads more canbus wire, which is expensive in itself!
Changing the bcm is the only thing I'm a bit sceptical about, so any advice on that would be great!!
I've read in 1 link somewhere that changing from 086 to 087 isn't actually necessary, but I believe that's wrong info as all 086's I've come across haven't got pins in 48 and 49 of socket 'c'!
Cheers

Well my GTI is a 2009 - 59 Plate, came with the halogen headlights and standard rear lights (NON LED). My BCM was a 086 C running on software version 537.
I fitted a set of bi-xenon headlights with the LED DRLs. Plugged them in, coded them up, all worked fine, including the shutters, only problem i had was the pesky 'bulb out error'. Tried numerous codes to try and resolve it, but no luck.
I then fitted a set of golf R LED rears, changed the coding and the light went out! However, it returned again a few days later.
To cut a long story short, it was all because the software on the BCM was too old, so a very kind person (Mr Golfhappy) offered me a new BCM which was an 87AL which was running a much newer software than my old.
Fitted and coded it all up within an 1.5 hours, and i was really taking my time. It certainly sounds and looks a lot harder than it actually is. The MK6 only has 3 wiring looms going to it, and the only things you need to remove to gain enough access to remove the BCM is the knee air bag (so just disconnect your battery for 10 mins before hand), the little drop down cubby hole near the light switch, and behind the knee air bag is a plastic tube which runs the warm air into the drivers footwell, remove that and you can easily get to all the clips :wink:
Once fitted, using VCDS, first disable factory mode, and then use the long code helper to insert your code from the original BCM.
Finally, you have to re-assign your keys to the new BCM, literally takes two minutes to do. Theres a step by step video on youtube, or on Rosstechs website theres step by step instructions there too.
Job done. :laugh: But seriously, if your unsure of anything just ask mate, theres many helpful people on here who can certainly help you out :smiley:
-
Just some info from the VW workshop manual when removing Airbags.
When working on the airbag system (pyrotechnic components and the airbag control unit -J234-, wiring) disconnect the battery ground cable while the ignition is on.
Exception: for vehicles with a battery inside the passenger compartment, the ignition must be off.
Then cover the negative terminal.
After disconnecting the battery, you need to wait for 10 seconds.
The battery must be connected with the ignition SWITCHED ON.

Mavs will give you the info on how to change the BCM and code it. On my routing about i believe the guys in America do just that, use the 086 BCM and power the shutters by re pinning the original harness. I have actually seen a harness like the Kufatec one but less the trigger wires. This was posted on that site in the dark reaches somewhere. Glasgow retrofit firm i think.
The idea for looking at the Auto trader was a combination of when i left school i trained as a Ford parts technician and forensic science with the Open University...am maybe a "NERD" :nerd:

And note on the post above about the Ford bit! That's the era of when RS2000s were about! MK1s and 2s...do the maths! yeh that old!!! :grin:
-
Cheers guys, taken all that in... I think! They're not making things easier to work on!
Well I picked a set of lights up yesterday, genuine xenons with LED's, pair of wiring adaptors and a bcm.
The bcm is 086, but that was taken out of the same car with the lights, so I'm guessing it's software is right.
I'm going to hook up vag com tomorrow to check my bcm, how do I see what software it's running?
I've just been through all links of links of links regarding byte 18, and I'm now officially scared to touch it!!!
Forgot to mention my car has led rear lights and number plate lights, all fitted as standard (as far as I'm aware)

Software version can be found when you open the controller window for the BCM 09. If you look in the component window it's the last 4 digits.
Another link stating that the 086 module can be used for AFS. http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91411 As for byte 18..be afraid....very afraid...get it wrong your lighting system will be transformed to another dimension :grin: you'll have probably read that 00 hides the real code from factory. My byte 18 is set at 04.
-
Golfhappy is right, be careful when playing with Byte 18, 04 did not work for me, I think it is only good for early cars 2009, mine is a March 2010 and I used 15 to get the correct operation.
I found this which helped me, although it is from a US site.

I had to buy the 087 variant because the shutter activation pins were missing on the connector.
Do pins 48 and 49, labelled below, exist on the BCM you have?
(http://www.thewindinglane.co.uk/images/mk6gti/xenonfit/bcm1.jpg)
-
Mike i'm 99% sure that those pins wont be on an 086 module. But from memory he has the module from the GTI the lights came from, plus did the harnesses come from the car or did you buy them extra?
-
This is what I was originally confused about, because I read people were doing it with the 086, but I thought you had to add the 2 pins.
Every 086 I've seen don't have the pins, but I've now found out after all the research and help, that you don't need to wire the shutters to the bcm at all, it can be done via the original high beam wire.
It's just the bcm software that matters when it comes to coding LED's.
Cheers
-
If that's the case then it looks like you won't have to change your BCM. :smiley:
The software version in mine does not support LED number plate lights so looks like it is older than yours but I had no problems with the LED Xenons. Software version 575.

What gets me is why it can't be straightforward?
With halogen lights there is a wire that goes to the main beam bulb and illuminates it when it's powered. Why can't the same wire be powered to keep the shutter in the main beam position on a xenon lamp in just the same way?

Checked my old BCM 086M and it doesn't have the shutter wires.
Think some wise owls actually worked that out that the high beam power would trigger the shutters. Think Hawkeen on the American forum did some cleaning up of the wiring diagrams which were floating about.
-
The wiring adaptors that came with my lights, allow the shutter to work. I plugged them in before handing the money over and was surprised when they flicked up!
Not sure if they work with lights off though, think that may just be a bit of coding too?
-
Did the harnesses have a long wire coming from them, if not i think i know where they came from. You really want to document them. Photos if possible.

Is it still possible to get the AFS module to work with this workaround or does that need the 087 version?
-
Ohh, more helpful links, and there was me thinking I must've read all of them with the amount I have read on this subject!
Mine have no long leads to go to the bcm, the sh!tter wire is from what would've been the high beam wire. I've already I taped it and checked it out. I'll grab some pics later.
I'm hoping afs won't be affected by what bcm is fitted, fingers crossed!

Me thinks we'd have to either start looking at an auto scan for a golf R? It has AFS it would be interesting to see BCM version.
As for info bucket loads out there, bit of a mine field!
It wasn't until i asked Mike the question "are the kufatec adaptor wires joined together" they would make the loom like that.It isn't until you dig deeper that you find out that some of the main looms are different. We used this http://volksurf.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/bi-xenon-led-retrofit-diy.html and if you read down think its in red writing about joining the wires 10 and 12 to get the leds to work. What a pain that gave me!
Plus when i checked lots of long codes my byte 13 was 04, everybody's is 00. I asked Ross Tech and they said undocumented byte they didn't know what it did. It may well have been like byte 18 with 00 hiding the real code. I just went for it and changed it to 00 and with Mike's long code help all went well :grin:
-
I'd imagine all cars with xenons from the factory will have the 087, as they will have the shutters wired 'properly'.
Tbh, any threads that I've read that say join 2 wire together I've pretty much stopped reading, I don't wantbto bodge it, I wantbto do it properly.
-
1K0 937 084 G Part number for a Golf R with xenons not led...?
-
Very strange then. 084 doesn't have pins 48 and 49 either! :undecided:
-
Back to the afs fitting subject.
I'm just looking around to buy it tonight, but there are so many places selling them.
From what i've already read, each headlight takes a can-bus twisted pair from the afs unit. But looking at some of the product pictures, this doesn't seem to be present - or maybe they're just using a generic (old) photo.
Those of you running the car systems 1 sensor kit, could you tell me if you're lights have can-bus at pins 1 and 2?
cheers
-
My install was just one sensor, AFS pins 4 and 5 go to both headlights pins 1 and 2.
I used the Kufatec adapters but the CAN wires were not twisted so I just rewired them myself with a twisted cable I made up.
-
Thanks, makes sense now. Was worried there was a kit that done levelling (up down) alone without left right.
Just spoke to my brother and said not to worry if they're not twisted.
Just need to order one now, most of them seem to come from Hong kong or China, hopefully no extra taxes on arrival!
Cheers
-
What price for the kits from Hong Kong?
-
1s 144 and another 250, quite a difference! One claims original parts, the other doesn't state (cheaper one) am in the process of finding out.
-
I know that VW do make parts in China. The only thing that spoils the Carsystems kit is having to buy wiring harnesses in the kit.
-
So i've just had an interesting message from one of the hong kong sellers.
I asked why he's got such a price difference between the non led kit and the led kit - where everywhere else sell one kit that works with both.
He's come back saying "the LED version has 2 extra wires that go from the CECM to 14PIN connector"
Now correct me if i'm wrong, but the extra wires that go to the BCM, are to allow the bi-xenon shutters to work, not the LED's…?
-
If its the headlight harness he's on about yes those are for the shutters, the trigger wires. If you have complete OEM headlights and the harnesses less the trigger wires. You'll need the AFS module, rear sensor and the harness from sensor to the AFS module.
-
Have you read this link? http://www.vwgolf.net.au/showthread.php?14428-DIY-OEM-Bixenon-Headlights-CECM-Upgrade-and-AFS
-
Yes it's the harnesses he's talking about, it seems he's got it all wrong, I wonder what he's wiring instructions are like!
I've replied telling him those wires are nothing to do with the LED's, so I'll see what he comes back with!
-
I notice people running separate power runs to the fuse box for the power to the AFS slaves, Pin 4 on each headlight going to Fuse 5 and 6.
The Kufatec adapter uses the power which originally fed the Headlight Range Motor on the Halogen lights, connecting Pin 1(10 pin) to Pin 4(14 pin).
I then ran the AFS Controller power to Fuse 5.

Although I didn't have to remove the glove box.

I didn't necessarily need to take it out tbh, but for the sake of a few more screws, it gave me more headroom and saved from a few more sraped knuckles!
So all the wiring is in, ready for the lights to go in!
Finally managed to get hooked up to vids to find out my soft wear, and it's running 0651, so happy days me thinks!
Still unsure about messing with byte 18 though. Keep googling it and seeing what other people have coded to, but not many are UK cars, and not seen any that are led rears + xenons + LED drls! :/

That is my combo, led rears + xenons + LED drls and I used 04 for byte 18.
Working fine for the last four years with no issues. :smiley:

Mine was always set at 04, here's a question: does your headlights work in auto mode since the retrofit as they should: headlight switch on auto, light intensity falls, xenons come on? in auto mode mines drls + xenons all the time!
-
Mine work as follows.
Auto - DRLs only and no rear lights and then Xenons and 50% DRLs when it gets dark and the lights come on.
Sidelight position - DRL's at 50% and rears on.
Also the DRLs dim 50% when indicator on that side is on, although I don't think that is standard
-
Great, thanks!

Yes, I think it is the first option.
When I did mine there was very little known about Byte 18 and it was guess work.

Checked mine again in auto mode in daylight and in auto drls 100% and Xenons on. I'll have a look at them tomorrow. I suspect the coding. I think in the module the auto mode works the wipers as well? i'll check you coding against mine again.
-
Checked the coding may be looking in the wrong place. I had this fault pop up when auto mode 01800 light switch implausible signal. Seems the boys over at the Skoda forum have the same problem. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/74556-light-assist-retrofit/
-
I run 04 on Byte 18 with LED Rears + Bi-xenon with LED fronts.
With switch In Auto position:
Daylight: LED strips 100% only
Night: 50% LED strips and Xenons, LED rears
Sidelights: 50% LED strips + LED rears
Dipped beams: 50% LED strips and xenons + LED rears
Also, when indicator is activated, my LED strips switch off.
Hope that helps :smiley:
-
I take it ave got some digging to do then to make my lights work on true auto. I'll trawl through the Skoda thread. My drls also remain at a 100% when the headlights are on. Hmmm :nerd:

Thanks for the replies.
Looks like I'm going to try 04 to start with!
Do we know if the led can go off fully when xenon dipped beam on?

Getting all sorts of warnings on the dash now, hopefully just down to coding.

No Bend lighting (AFS) check manual!
LED's don't work but didn't expect them too yet.
Xenons work on ignition but flicker when running- due to coding voltage I believe(?)
Shutter operate but don't light up when lights are off- so hoping there's an option for xenons for flashers.
-
If you need any help with the coding just drop me a PM, i'll be in all night.
-
Thank you!
It didn't happy tonight, so is going to have to wait til we get back.
Will update when it's done :D
-
Well, Just home from a bit of coding.... And we have a couple of problems!
Byte 18 coded to 04...
DRL's not coming on:
In auto- nothing
Sidelights- LED's on dimly.
Dipped beam- sidelights and xenons on and Rear LED's on as normal.
Fogs as normal.
NO FAULT CODE IN 09.
Headlight range, unable to code.
Selected it in installation list, but a message comes up to contact rosstech, can't remember what page that was on though.
4 Fault codes in 55.
-
Try 15 in Byte 18, that worked for me, an alternative is 43, it all depends on you model year, BCM and software version.

:D :D :D

Well done you :smiley: now what's next?
-
Just want it to get dark NOW so I can take it out!
Done needle sweep as well tonight :)
Next will be stereo upgrade (full install!) in between everything else I've got going on!
Thank you all for your help!!
-
Happy days :cool: :laugh:
Did you get rid of all the fault codes?
-
Yes, levelling is now coded and set up. It was just the code that I missed on one of the threads that I read throughly! Lol.
and the drls came on after selecting byte 24 bit 7. Doh!

So I just had to go out In ittonight!
Main beam is like daylight!! :D
Bend lighting is pretty cool/clever, but my initial thought is its a bit over rated.
Now my biggest concern... Driving a bit of a country road, I kind of notice there's more like being thrown over to the right!
My initial thought was they just need adjusting properly, but now I'm panicking and convincing myself that there actually LHD lights :'(
I'm not going out there now, but I think the 'kick up' is on the right :(

Have you got the part numbers to hand? they end in "D" see the link http://www.carsystems.pl/mk6-golf-oem-bi-xenon-led-drl-dynamic-headlights-for-uk-and-rhd-markets,id1594.html

Unfortunately not, I didn't take any pictures of them before fitting.
I have emailed the bloke I brought them from, hopefully he's still got some!

Confirmed, I've got LHD lights! (N)
