VAG Com - Rear Day Light Running Lights

[Ginge 35Edition]

Is it possible to set the rear lights to come on with the front daylight running lights? The rear LED's look sweet and seems a shame not to be able show them off. If I turn the lights to side lights it works but wondered if VAG Com can help? Also anyone near Burton / Derby with the software? I really like the idea of the Dial staging too!

Cheers

Mine come on all the time and I find it bloody annoying, the car is lit up like a Christmas tree it's ok in the dark but in bright sunshine wtf.

You've got me wondering now? I get what your saying but i love it! I'll check mine tomorrow.

Don't forget my GTI is an early 09 and I don't have the fairy lights as my DRLs.  I checked the other day when I was out and about and the front and rears are definitely on.

I do love  my rear LED tails but folk must think I'm crackers for having them on when the sun is shining.

How are you enjoying your car? The mk6 is a huge step up on the MK5 interior wise I reckon.

mine where on before I set the bit for LED to 04 to get rid of the error code, now they are off during the day (I notice my parking lights have disappeared too). Perhaps setting that bit 15 keeps the rears on?

Setting to 15 (assuming you have halogen lights, not xenons) will cure the dim parking/side lights and will allow the daylight running lights to function as VW intended, but it doesn't put my rears on.

If you do a search I have posted in the past how to change it. Think its something like DRL via low beam active.

So what's the byte 18 setting for a right hand drive car with xenon and Led rears suppose to be for everything to work correctly ?

According to information I found on the Vortex site, it is 43 for MJ2010 with BCM from KW22/2009 (Software 0537, 0541) onwards.

Or you could just keep your lights on all the time....

Loving it, its really loosening up now. The interior is great, I know its pretty much the same but i prefer the lay out etc to my Roc too. I treated the leather yesterday with a conditioner and it came up a treat. Just been reading up on the mk7 and it sounds great. They reckon there may be a Golf RS with 360 bhp!!!!
