Daytime driving lights.

coming home is possible through VCDS but you still need to tap the high beam stalk for it to activate. Leaving home is not possible without modules

I have being to the VW tech workshop and it seems they are aware of this issue and have to wait for a software from VW(germany)plus isolating one of the pins on the back switch.So happy waiting and no more guess work that really drives me nuts.cheers tay

I have been driving my Polo TSI built 10/02/12 for a week now; yes, I have tried the [Method 2 - indicator stalk] thing without success, soooo that's it, it's back to VW and some software update? Next one ... how do you 'MUTE' radio without getting the voice menu? I really just want the 'MUTE' as in Golf with * button. Thanks POLO fans!

Having the lights on all the time may be a safety feature but driving around with them on all the time in Sunny Goldcoast you feel like a tool , surely we should have the option left at our discretion

I too just bought a Polo GTi and noticed that the lights are on full time. I think it's a great idea it's also a great incentive to replace the globes with LED's. I should be able to do this easily right?

Edit

I've made the changes and looks great. A lot better then the horrible yellowish Parker's but now I have an amber light coming up in my speedo reading.

any pics?
Dash light comes on because of the lesser resistance of the LED's. Can be turned off with vag-com in 2 minutes

I'm new to VW so what's this Vag-com thing I keep hearing? Is this some sort of computer configuration system, i.e. BIOS ?

I'll post some pics up today!

nice

Vag-com (or vcds) is basically a computer program to allow somone to make changes in the Polo's computer (like enabling/disabling lightbulb check, and many more things)

Ohh... Is it easy to do or should I just head into a dealership and get them to do it?

buy the cable or visit the dealer...

lights look good, which bulbs did you need from that site?
