Footwell light whilst driving

[Gaz2559]

Hi.

I have a 2009 gt tdi with luxury and convenience pack. Is it possible to have the footwell lights on whilst driving?  My mate has a 2011 gtd and his footwell lights are on whilst driving.

Amy help would be appreciate cheers!

It's altered by the multi function computer on the GTD and GTi but not sure about the GT? Have you had a play about with these settings?

I have yeah, upped it to 100% but not sure if that's just for when the doors open. I will check what it says on the options and let you know. Seems weird that only Gtis and gtd can do it tho!?

Mine are on when driving.

Is yours a GTI or GTD?

It's the GT in his sig mate.

Is yours a GTI or GTD?

Yeah, it's a GT. The footwell lights come on with the ignition.

Ah yes the signature, stupid me!

Just checked the MFD and footwell lights are on at 100% but nothing when driving. I think I may need a dash update from VW? If I can be bothered that is!

Does ur Gt show you your tyre pressure, or does it just indicate when it is below a certain PSi? Just wondering as my boss has a new passat and his systems states the pressure on each tyre. I thought mine had that but believe I just have a warning indicator? Again not essential, just would like things to work if I have them.

Cheers.

My Golf just has a TPMS warning light in the dash and a reset button in the glovebox. It's a bit half assed really as is works on wheels speed sensors. If a tyre deflates, its overall rolling radius reduces, therefore the wheel speeds up to keep up with the other 3.

I also have a 2011 Passat, and that has a "proper" tyre pressure monitoring with sensors in each tyre valve and a live data display on the instrument cluster.

Going back on my earlier statement, the footwell lights come on at 100% brightness with the interior lights, then dim down to the preset brightness when the ignition is turned on.
