You should have spec'd some Xenons.

My mind is muddled with all the combinations that we tried. We ended up with some very strange things happening; rear lights always on anyone?! LOL

Cheers ReadErr0r... I dont have xenons, hence why i want to disable the rubbish VW solution to DRLs for cars like mine. I'm hoping not to have to pull the pin, but if needs must then I guess that's my final resort.

Thanks once again to Staz for his help with my lights today, I know that there is some good German logic to these cars and their systems, but two (three for a while, until one saw sense and went home LOL!) clever blokes with a computer were stumped by these lights today.

haha, the sense in going home was more related to not pissing my wife off too much by leaving her to look after our 2 year old all day. Would have loved to hang around and try and figure it out.

Perhaps... or, just accepted the DRLs as they are?

V wise. My wife was at the shops, it almost cost more than xenons to leave here at that place, they sell shoes it seems... :/

You managed to set off Nordic mode, here's some info on it.

It best to take things slow with VCDS, its easy to go wild and end up in a mess. I find having a break helps

A few notes on the RVC.... most annoying install ever, more annoying than the Auto lights but here's a few tips.

There's a factory ground point in the hatch lid, just use that instead of having to run the ground through the to side.

There's no constant +12v in the hatch which is lame. I went direct from the battery (which is in the wheel well in the GTI). There's a line with a 30 Amp fuse on it, just use a loop crimp under the screw.

The sheath on the 24 pin connector is super easy to take off, just lift the two tabs up and pull the inner plug out. It's easier to run through holes and whatnot now.

Guys, can ew keep the chat in here limited to the install of the RVC? this is a DIY thread after all. I will look at cleaning this thread up too if need be for clarity.

[JonW]

Gavs, if youre game you could clean it up and at the same time put the pics&text in order for anyone doing this job, right now we have 3 peoples pics and its a bit jumbled. big job tho :/

[gavs]

Yeah, might be a couple of lunchtimes worth of work but that's a good idea.
