    Will the fog light come on if I turn the wheel while stationary steve? My dealer said the cornering fog lights have been enabled but I cant really notice it... >_<

    There is a video link posted earlier in this thread that shows the static cornering lights (fogs) coming on when the vehicle is stationary.

    Edit: It was the first post in the thread.

    Yes they do, best way to test it is drive into a servo and face the wiindow then turn the wheel.


    apparently works under 40km or with the indicitors on.

    sigh, looks like another trip to the dealer then... btw steve, do u know if the coming home function can be changed so that you don't need to flash the high beams everytime when you switch off the engine?

    Sounds like u need to bite the bullet and buy the cable...

    VCDS (VAGCOM Diagnostic System) License with Micro-CAN Interface - $319.00 : Dub Ad

    Dont think coming home can be changed, ive got a sensor light in my garage...

    Its good though, coz now i havent had "Mate, you have left your lights on" at the supermarket since i got the new car.

    Yeah, it's AMAZING how many people did this to me, both at work and out in public. So although I like the coming home function, I think I'd be happier with it the way it is now, where you have to tell it that you want it to be on, each time you get out of the car.

    I haven't missed crazy people running up and grabbing me in shopping mall car parks since not having coming home on my Polo GTI

    Got my fog light cornering enabled tonight, pretty cool.

    Lams is right the normal rain sensing coding only codes the MFD, not the sensor but have asked Mav to look into it and see if ross-tech know.

    Also haven't got the auto up function working with the keyfob that allows you just to hold down the button for a second instead of the whole time the windows are going up.

    Chirp sound only works when locking not unlocking.

    The cars are still fairly new so just takes time i assume and seem to be a few mild differences with MK5 vs MK6.

    Anyway i can confirm it works with Bi-xenons for when the time comes Paully LOL.

    I got that a bit too, especially from an air-head female neighbour that would forget eact time i told her they were automatic so will prob leave them as is. There seemed to be an toggle in VCDS to turn it back on but didn't seem to work.

    I have it working, you need to set it in instrumentation AND in the RLS (Rain Light Sensor) Module for it to work. (Its not a tick box, you need to manualy add a "7" i think to one of the bits, but there is a drop down instruction box.)

    I followed the instructiions for a Mk5 and got it to work.
