MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[Silvadadi]

Anyone near to Portsmouth willing to assist with changing front fogs, rear lights and any other recommended mod for chocolate gold coins (Xmas!), cash or liquid gold?

[led.737]

but this module isn't fully mapped yet on VCDS 12.12.

And it never will be on 12.12, so why not just download the current build from RT website?

I just did, but still couldn't find where this option is!!
Still can't figure out how to program the heated-mirror to work abovo 20ºC and/or with the rear-window defroster...

Any clue?

Thanks for all the great tweaks, just got fogs with fullbeam to work, wonderful!

I've been searching this thread (and other forums) but cant seem to find if its possible to combine drl with fogs as standard on auto during daylight (not on when dipped beam turns on during evening) i love how the led U's look with the led fogs on, just too laze too turn and pull the light switch whenever i start the engine. (Got the EU AUTO switch) GTD mk7

Thanks in advance!

It might look good but driving around with fogs on any time that is not foggy when others are on the road makes you look stupid. Full beam mod is great as they're automatically turned off when your full beam stops but your mod would just annoy other road users.

+1 Kyle, I do think "tit" when I see people with their fogs on (I seem like an Audi driver thing to do) and not an ounce of the stuff in the air, more so when it isn't even dark. There's a reason VW set up the fog lights the way they do.

Does it not kill the power output though and dim the fogs to turn them into DRLs?

Polos and one of the Skodas use combined fogs / DRL's

If not it's a shame, our fogs are pretty cool...

Use of foglights apart from in periods of significantly reduced visibility is illegal......

[valvebounce]

It's illegal to use fogs unless reduced vis. See Highway Code:

Rule 236
You MUST NOT use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced (see Rule 226) as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your brake lights. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves.
Law RVLR regs 25 & 27

Except i live in sweden where its legal to replace low beam with fog lights during daylight but never to use fog and low as a combination.
