Can anyone help with the procedure for turning off the lane assist permanently on my mk8 gtd.
The local dealer wont do it and I have spoken to an independent garage and he has asked I get info from someone on the forum and it would take him a lot less time and save me money.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
David.

Depends where you live,you need someone local with an OBDeleven. If your in Nottingham I can do it....but if not then you need to let people know where you are.
All the info needed is on the OBDeleven forum.

Sorry, should have said, I’m in Ayrshire in Scotland.
The guy at the local garage had OBDeleven, but has that I try and get info to save time.
Thanks.

Here is the coding and process.
- Start ignition and turn off Lane Assist using button
- Pop the bonnet handle to release the bonnet (you do not need to raise the bonnet fully).
This is important otherwise the coding will not ‘write’ and you get a failed write message.
- Plug in OBDeleven dongle into one port (located underneath drivers right side trim)
- Turn ignition on (engine does not need to be running)
- Launch OBDeleven on phone
- Code as follows:
- go to A5 Driver Assistance control unit
-turn off sfd protection
- then Long coding tab
- scroll down to Configuration for lane departure warning Kl15
- Change from default ‘Activated’ to ‘Last Setting’
-Slide to write coding
- Coding accepted and default is now set to ‘Last setting’
- A few ignition starts to test and Lane Assist should now deactivated by default at ignition startup.
If he follows those steps it should work.

Ideal, I will get the guy at the garage to try this and let you know how it goes.
Thanks.

Where's the OBDEleven forum? I am expecting a dongle in the post in the next day or two!

Excellent, thanks Fred.

Do you think doing this would affect the warranty in any way?

Hi, took my car in today to have the lane assist switched off.
The guy in the garage was unable to do it as he doesn’t have an OBDeleven dongle.
He has asked if anyone has the code for VCDS/Vagcom to allow him to do it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
David.

There is a short cut to switching off Lane Assist (apologies if you already knew this) - outlined in the first post of the thread over on VWROC.com forum at the link below. Still needs to be done at the start of each journey though but quick and easy to do.

I don’t visit the R forum so won’t click on the link but will guess it’s the Brocky method which was discussed much on here previously.
It takes less than 3 seconds at the start of each ignition cycle so hardly worth investing cash into to switch it out permanently. A different story if you already own the OBD11 gear so effectively free.

Ah, I’d forgotten about the Brocky method (apologies @Brocky).
Agree, it’s no hardship to spend 3 seconds each ignition cycle to turn it off, and not getting it coded out permanently still gives you the option to have it activated on those rare occasions when you might want it switched on.

I’ll assume it was the same technique then, full marks as always SR for your endless supply of handy links and info :afro:

No need to apologise. I still find it humorous and a little flattered that it has been labelled that. I'm not sure if I was the first to discover it outside of these forum walls but it's nice all the same. :smiley:
