VW has just swapped my gti due to an ongoing fault. Obviously the new car has all the end of line features. In my old car which was a 68 plate I could turn off the headlight washers as I hated it when it would spray water all over the bonnet. The new 20 plate car has the active full beam assist and when I try and turn the headlight washer off in the obd apps it says not available.
Has anybody managed to turn it off or has vw blocked this due to the active headlight?

You need to use the long coding instead of apps. Apps are crap anyway.
-
I hope you can as I want to do that on my gti when I get it. I will only have the crappy Carista though :smiley:

Cheers I'll look into this.

I thought I read on another thread it could be done on the later gti’s even with the likes of carista? I hope so as only going to get carista!

Carista did mine. Changed it to pull the stalk for 2.5 seconds. What’s crappy about Carista? Did all the mods I needed for £16.

If that’s in response to my earlier post, I was being sarcastic :smiley:
Can you Confirm yours is one of the later models with dynamic light assist fitted?

It is. Carista worked very well and the months “free” use was plenty. The app seems to be kept up to date. If you check out the beta stuff available, it includes extra choices for the digital dash.

Can't you adjust the washers so that they don't spray over the bonnet?

No it's the power at which they spray. I've disabled them now so all good.

With Carista? If so, what option is that?
Cheers

I used obd11. Does Carista give you the option for long coding?
-
Carista allows you to lengthen the time you need to pull the screen washer stalk to fire the headlight washers. Maximum is 2.5 seconds, which is what I set mine to. You also have the option to change the number of screen wash pulls between headlight washes. I set mine to every pull so that the headlight washers are available, without any confusion, for checking, or MOT. 2.5 seconds is a long time, so easy to avoid setting the headlight washers of in normal screen wash usage.
-
Same as obd11 by sounds of it then. You have all them option as well.

What extra choices are there for the digital dash? I’ve got a Carista but the free month is up, didn’t go Beta but might delve back in if there’s cool stuff there!

Colour would be my guess - you can toggle the AID into GTE/GTI/R/GTD or Arteon colours sets.

I didn’t study the options too much, so can’t remember, but it didn’t persuade me to go beta. Someone in a car mag said that the guy who signed off white needles on white gauge markings should be fired. I’d love red needles for my digi-dash!

see I’ve been thinking about that, and was wondering if vcp maybe able to maybe change the colour in the AID map, if the AID map is actually downloadable then redesigned and re uploaded again, but I’ve looked and can’t find anything in the long codings or adaptions,
