so i had a mkv GTI with xenons and when i would lock the car they would stay on for 10 seconds before turning off now i have a MKVI golf R and they xenons dont stay on when i get out and lock the car can this be changing with coding to be like the MKV?

You're referring to the Coming Home feature. Just flash your high-beams once you turn off the ignition, and when you open the door the lights will come on, and remain on for the Coming Home time set in your MFD options.

the whole point is not having to flash the high beams which i think is stupid hopefully it can be changed

It is an option in the MFD for me?

Setting the duration is an option in the MFD. But you still need to flick your high-beams to activate it once you've stopped the car.

Never had to do this in my R? But I leave my lights always on the "Auto" option, perhaps this explains the differing behaviours?
Edit: ok, mixing up coming home vs leaving, leaving they turn on when unlocking for the preset time.

Yep, Leaving Home works automatically. For the Mk6, Coming Home was changed to be manually activated.
