Title: DRL dots.
Post by: rwleigh on 28 July 2019, 18:32: I can't believe I haven't seen these before but I noticed a GTD yesterday with extra dots on with the normal DRL U's. So I thought that must be a thing I can code myself with the obdeleven, did a bit of research and voila!

Anyone else running these?

Post by: Exonian on 28 July 2019, 22:48: I’m sure my 2013 GTI PP came out of the factory with the dots enabled.
I’ve never checked my Clubsport, I assumed it would have the same headlight function. Maybe not? I must get round to checking.

Care to share the coding?

DRL Dots:

Connect with module "09 - central electric".
Go to adaptations and change values.
"Leuchte9FL RB2-Lichtfunction C 9" to "daytime running lights" or "tagfahrlicht"
"Leuchte9FL RB2-Dimmerwert CD 9" to 100 (max 127)
"Leuchte8FL LB39-Lichtfunction C 8" to "daytime running lights" or "tagfahrlicht"
"Leuchte8FL LB39-Dimmerwert CD 8" to 100 (max 127)

Use security access code 31347 when prompted.

Mine are now both on 100, I might try 127 tomorrow to see what that looks like as imho they are slightly overpowered by the standard U DRL's...

Post by: rwleigh on 29 July 2019, 23:46: Mine are now set to 127, might as well have the full dot! :grin:

I don't think that's just a code...

Could be wrong though, anyone know?

Discussed back in 2014 on the forum. Not possible with existing headlamps. If it was, then I dare say there’d be members on this forum and other forums that would have done it.

You’re not wrong, a quick google suggests I’m wrong. I didn’t realise they were different hella units. Makes sense now why VW streamlined costs and gave the 7.5’s the same (bar the red/chrome insert).

Post by: wantmygti on 03 August 2019, 16:24: Popped to the shops and saw in a reflection of the car that the dots are already on. Live and learn...!

Post by: Exonian on 04 August 2019, 00:36: Having checked, they don’t come on unless the headlamps are illuminated on my Ed40CS.
I must get round to coding them in...

Maybe I coded them in previously?!? I’ve done the dimming DRL with indicators code but can’t think of anything else I’ve done to the front DRLs (Scandinavian DRLs at the rear). Either that or mine were on from the factory.

If you've enabled Scandinavian DRL's, that activates the dots at the front as well...

Mystery solved!

Post by: steve12345 on 06 August 2019, 07:59: after reading this I thought I’d check my car.

Turns out I have these dot’s too - i like it! I’ve got a 2014 GTI, I haven’t coded it in. I presume the previous didn’t either. Must of been factory.

Post by: Finglonga on 07 August 2019, 10:29: I coded my Scandinavian mod back in 2014 and they have been on ever since. They were not on before that I remember, nice little perk of the mod.
