Number Plate LED Fault Code & Traffic Activation

[GTI14L]

Hi Guys,
I have tried several LED number plate lights in the MY14 Skoda Octavia.
No matter what ones get installed, they come up with a "Check Number Plate Light" message.
When removed and standard filament globes are used, it is back to normal, with no message.
Is there a way to program VAGCOM to not detect the voltage / current / resistance drop so that it does not come up with the Fault each time?

Also how does one activate traffic update information?

I am in Sydney (Bankstown / Hursrtville area) and can travel.
If you can help, please PM me.

You need to find some that work with either inbuilt or inline resistors like this:

you should be able to set the number plate lights to LED with VCDS, OBD11 can do it as well. I just can't find the adaptations for it.

Does anyone have the cable and software to do the modification to the light setting?

It depends on where you are, there are a few people around with either VCDS or OBD11.

Also need to set this adaptation channel:

(6) Leuchte25KZL HA59 - Dimmwert AB 25 - set to 127

This will set the BCM up in the same way as if it is connected to OEM LED license plate lights. May or may not work for aftermarket units, but worth trying.
