Good developments. Are these being added rpto the wiki?

I've added inner LEDs on brake and inner tail LEDs remaining on when locking car with CH on. Not added S/S yet!

Has maybe someone tried this out: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0qxbvecchtk9td4/Modify%20settings.docx

Please tell me if this is working. We didnt tested yet.

Funny you mention that, I saw that at lunch time today whilst having a browse through the modules and thought it looked interesting...there's probably some other start/ stop conditions you could tweak too, such as battery level maybe?

Worth a try though, although I like the start/ stop, I'll leave it to someone else to try! 

Well looks like this is also an option too for disabling stop start. May try this today: http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18303&postcount=35

This appears to change the minimum voltage requirement for stop start to an unlikely high level.

Change the VW Roadside Assistance Number and Information Number.

I am not sure if this is set in the UK but in South Africa the numbers for the breakdown service and information service are set to the numbers in Germany. This is how to change them to local numbers.
For the Breakdown number
Go to 5F Information Elect
-> Adaptation 10
Choose Entering breakdown service number
The existing number will be something like
5E 07 A1 00 08 80 79 73 48 32 FF FF FF 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F
You need to change the 4th byte onward and the numbers must be reversed in each byte
EG to enter the South African VW Alert Number 0860 434 737
The numbers would be reversed like this
08 60 43 47 37
80 06 34 74 73
So you would enter 5E 07 A1 80 06 34 74 73 FF FF FF FF FF 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F

There has to be 23 bytes, you can just add FF to make up the 23 bytes.

The same principle is applied to the Information number.

hello

i have a question.

when the light switch is on AUTO en the lights are ON in the evening and when i shift to reverse the fog lights go ON till go forward again.

when i switch the right and left turnlights the fog lights olso go on left ore right what direction you push.

this is only when the lights are ON.

is this normal?

even the

[jivemonkey]

Yes, this is static cornering lights.

[cebbes30]

Yes i now about static cornering a have enable that.

But when i take the gear in to reverse no steering any way the both fog lights going on.

this is only when the light switch is on AUTO ore normal light ON.

When the light are off the fog light not going on.

[jivemonkey]

It is also standard for both static cornering lights to come on when reversing. Mine also do this, although the GTD has static cornering lights within the headlight unit and it does not use the fogs. On non-xenon units, the fogs act as static cornering lights. Don't know why VW did this, maybe for added visibility for reversing? Don't worry, sounds normal 

[cebbes30]

Oke.

Thanks!!
