MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[DougL]

The micro-can definitely works on my car, as I have just enabled the alarm chirp. Thanks Norbreck!

The other thing I would like to do is change my servicing schedule from Flexible to Time and Distance. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do this, but I know it involves instrument cluster adaptation and it all seems very complicated. Any chance of some help please?

take it back to the dealer and get them to do it as they should have asked what service schedule to use before delivery.

So do they match the headlights?

Indeed they should have done and I should have checked. Taking it in is a pain and I will ask them to do if it has to go in for any other reasons. However, seeing as I have the means to reset it, then I think I should go ahead and do it!

EDIT

Just reduced the maximum time to service from 730 day to 365 and the maximum mileage from 32200km to 16100. That should sort it. Three options on the ESI reset adaptation channel. Was set to no warning, other options are reset and warning active. Which one to choose?

For revenue reasons alone, most dealers set the servicing to time and distance on a new car unless you ask them not to. If you got the 3 year service pack they should do anyway as that pack covers 3 annual/10k mile services and not 2 or 3 variable distance services.

I asked my dealer to change mine to annual when it was in a few weeks ago for some minor work. I got some bullsh!t excuse that they couldn't change it as it would mess up the electronics or some nonsense to that effect.

Just noticed the other day when they pulled out the dash that the MMI had been reset so when I went to check my mpg data it was saying total long journey distance 75 miles at 28.8mpg

MK7 XDS Adaptation channel in the ABS Module. Mine is set to Standard and I just left it at this.

Options, Standard, Not Activated, Weak, Medium and Strong.

Hi Norbreck21a, I'm new on here and have been following this thread and your work with interest thanks. A question for you - Have you tried altering the above settings to see if the ABS module will allow you to make the change? The reason I ask is that this module asks for a security code when you try to confirm you want to change the setting, for example, from Standard to Medium or Standard to Strong etc. I'm not sure how many other options in the Adoption channel for this module are security coded. My car is a Leon FR184 which shares very similar electrics to the Mk7. It could be a SEAT thing I guess but not had any issues with the other tweaks you've done.

[Sootchucker]

Shiners, to be honest no. I just looked for someone to see if the adaptation channels were there. I don't tend to change things that affect Brake, transmission or engine in case something does wrong 

Wonder if it's the same code as used for the Central Electronics module i.e. 31347 ?

[shiners]

Ay, I'm with you on that score. I tend to have a look around to see what stuff can be changed to satisfy curiousity. Not surprised that feature is security coded though. Might try 31347 code, cheers.
