VCDS (VAG-COM) codes and programmable options for Golf Mk7

[DV52]

It's all in the name! Well...it is for me when it comes to the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). And the operative word for this neat little safety feature must surely be the term "Running". So here's my question:- why have the DRLs switched on when the car isn't "Running" (i.e. the car isn't actually moving)? Well it appears that the good Burghers in Germany have also considered this question and they have included a facility in the mk7 that allows the Handbrake to speak to the DRLs. What a clever lot they are in Germany!!

Turn-off DRLs when Handbrake is engaged
The instructions below describe how to implement a VCDS tweak that automatically turns-off the DRLs when the handbrake is engaged and then switches the DRLs back-on again when the Handbrake is disengaged. Grateful acknowledgement to the Stemei.de site for the original material.
Before proceeding, please consider any implications from this tweak on the Australian Design Rules and its application to vehicles fitted with DRLs.

1. Select 09 - Cent Elect. module control

2. Select Security Access-16

3. Enter the magic access code. Click Do it! tab

4. Select Adaptation - 10.
5. From the pull-down channel, select (5)-Daytime running lights- Tagfshrlicht-Tagfahrlicht Dauerfahrlicht bei Handbremse abschalten (it's about 10% down the channel list)

6. In the New Value box, select active

7. Click Do it! tab. Click Add to log to save a copy of the change and click Go Back tab
8. Exit from software
9. Test the facility by engaging and disengaging the handbrake (notice how the status of the handbrake modulates the operation of the DRLs)

My sister's Mazda 3 SP25 does this ... was so confused when she was sitting in the driveway and they weren't on! Lol. I like the feature, though.

I had a quick search but couldn't find it here. Has anyone looked into optioning the blind spot monitoring? I think it may be called "side assist" or "side view" surly the highline has all items required to make it work, I would imagine the little led on the side mirrors could be used as the warning indicator.

Andy: not sure that I have understood your question, but the mk7 Golf does have an option called "lane assist" . The advertising material from VW talks about lane-assist in terms of BSM. Is this what you are after? If so, the option requires that a forward view camera is installed (it's part of the rear-view mirror assembly, camera sits under the mirror-looking forward). This is not standard equipment in a Highline.

Hi all,
A while back I posted a problem trying to upgrade my normal MK7 Multifunction steering wheel to one that has tiptronic paddles. it's for a Golf 90TSI DSG comfort line.
I've tried Ross tech but they haven't been very helpful. I am hoping i have better luck here.

Summary:
I recently purchased a new VW OEM MFSW that has tiptronic paddles to replace my standard MSFW.
My mechanic installed the new MFSW and it seemed to work ok - i can shift gears with the MFSW paddles, and the other buttons seem to work ok.

However, there are 3 errors
1) EPC light on
2) Auto Stop/Start malfunction
3) Cruise control malfunction

Below are the scan results, any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks.

I posted this in the ECU section but didn't get any help, hopefully I can here;
I'm looking for someone in the Newcastle/Sydney area with a VCDS cable. I have a GTI PP and want to activate the Traffic alert system.
Any help appreciated. Happy to compensate people for their time.

When did you get yours? Surprised it isn't on by default! Mine works (first batch of cars in VIC).

Well to be honest, it might actually be activated and I just don't know. I don't live in a capital city (Newcastle) and I believe that traffic alerts only work in capital cities, so I've never had a chance to try it, I'm just assuming it doens't going off what other people on here have said and what the dealer told me.
It has been deactivated in the setting menu, however its easy to go in and tick the boxes (enable RDS, enable Traffic Alerts).

turtle: are you really sure that you don't have TMC activated? What year was your car built? Have you tried enabling "TP" and "RDS" on the radio menu and then waiting a little while to see if the list appears when you press the "TRAFFIC" button (you should also get triangles on the navigation screen)? And yes, you have to be in one of the Australian Capital cities for it to work.

DV52,
Because I don't live in a capital city, and haven't driven in one with the car yet, maybe it does work and I just don't know it yet. I know how to enable 'TP' and 'RDS'. I'll try it next time I travel to Sydney. My car is a MY14
Thanks for the input guys. Appreciate the help
