Cornering Lights Died - Help!
« on: 26 February 2014, 21:15 »
Hello everyone!

Have a MK7 GTI here, with the cornering lights headlamps (not sure what they are called in the UK?)

Like those:

So, after enabling the Rain Closing with VCP the cornering lights does not work anymore! They don't come up when I turn or put the car in Reverse anymore!

I tried the solution the member cebbes30 posted here:

I have resolve it, the problem was the car mus not be running! when you want to recode this.
after turning the ignition to ON i have enable this!

5.Kanal (5) Leuchte12NL LB45-Lichtfunktion B12 auswählen
6.Wert auf Abbiegelicht links anpassen

7.Kanal (5) Leuchte13NL RB5-Lichtfunktion B13 auswählen
8.Wert auf Abbiegelicht rechts anpassen

But that made my fog lights light up instead of the cornering lights on the headlamps!

Can anyone help me fixing it? Thanks a lot!

Just before you blame your coding, are you in eco mode? They don't work at all when in eco.

Have also noticed this "feature" from very early in my GTD ownership. Can't for the life of me think what turning off the static cornering lights has to do with Economy ? Surely they can't sap that much juice for the few seconds at a time they are on ?

I also notice that the dynamic cornering (from the Xenon headlight unit for dipped beam) is also disabled when in Eco mode - WTF ?

What on earth were VW thinking ? Come to think of it, why on the DSG models, is coasting only available in Eco mode and not the individual mode ?

maybe they just thought people would use eco mode for motorway runs..they are not known for their multitude of corners

Probably just more like a gimmick, to give the the driver the impression of eco'ness but in fact will be unresgistable on mpg

Im pretty sure that somehow we can change those behavior using Rosstech/VCP. I'ts a matter of finding where and how!

If only I spoke German fluently.... LOL
