OBD11 adaptation descriptions don't match

[Odin]

Just starting out my OBD11 long coding adventures. Going well so far, though I do have one issue - some adaptation descriptions are not matching or not found with the information given for changing / activating a feature.
All the purely long coding byte changes are fine, no problems there, and simple adaptations such as the 'soundaktor' were no problem (with just the one adaptation under that module, so it should!)

But for example, if I'm looking to change the number of blinks with the 'comfort indicators', I need to look for adaptation "Sinyal Sayisi" - and I can't find anything remotely resembling that under unit 09 Central Electrics, even with a successful security login and doing a search.

What am I missing here?

What am I missing here? The proper thing to do Never seen language like that in any module

What language are you working in

Dont know where you got that Crap from because this is the correct info



Select Control unit 09 (Central Electrics)
Security access
Access Code 31347
Adaptation
Aussenlicht_Bling or in mine is Aussenlicht Blinker
Komfortblinken Blinkzykien
Value: 1-5 Value 3 (Standard – 3x blinking) 4 is enough as well

Hmm, interesting. That information "Sinyal Sayisi" came from the OBDeleven forum direct: Golf MK7 Coding and adaptations | OBDeleven and has been repeated verbatim across many other websites too. Looks like it's Turkish.

I'l keep digging for the German descriptions for the adaptations I'm looking at changing.

The adaptations are GERMAN in the standard APP and what I posted is absolutely correct and works on my car but if you want to go a different way feel free

Your coding for the comfort blinkers were spot on Hillbilly, and I've been able to tick that one off the list. Was set for 5, now a much more sensible 2. Thanks for that!

But these others remain elusive:

8 & 9 you are looking in wrong place Its in Fernlicht assistent

Perhaps its just someone getting the wrong info for overseas models and not taking our advice

However in the interests of safety 2 blinks is not enough 3 is Ok and 4 is best. Gives driver behind a real warning whereas they can miss if only 2 and they think you changed your mind
.

Been doing this for 3 years so have a reasonable idea about whats what

[Odin]

Magnificent, thanks Hillbilly. Some of the problems with the internet is a) you don't know if the information is accurate for your region, or accurate at all; and b) incorrect information gets re-posted without any testing to see if it's any good to begin with. Guess I fell victim to both.

With the comfort blinker setting, in the company vehicle that I used to drive, I'd occasionally & accidentally hit the indicator stalk, triggering the Mazda equivalent of comfort blinkers. That annoyed me that the indicator would signal when I had no intention of turning... bad enough that so few people around these parts use their indicators to begin with, I didn't want to be the object of other driver's rage for using an indicator when it wasn't necessary LOL. But point taken, I've yet to trigger the indicators accidentally in the Golf, so I might reset it back to 3 or 4 and see how it goes.

[Odin]

Right, got everything sorted.

Windows closing on detecting rain: The entry point was ZV Komfort. Apparently on some Mk 7.5s the menu structure was changed. All settings accepted OK, but a spray bottle test didn't trigger the windows to go up (car locked, wipers in auto). Have heard that this feature is a bit hit & miss on 7.5s, so I'm not too disappointed.

TMC traffic information: all OK

Comfort blinker setting reset to three.

High beam assist: decided that the factory enabled dynamic lighting is probably useful enough as it is.

Traffic sign recognition: didn't do as others have indicated that this feature doesn't work all that well. That's fine with me.

Browsing through the menu structure, there appears to be quite a few interesting options that might, one day, lead to some interesting features - looks like oil quantity could be displayed, for example. I bet it wouldn't be as simple as enabling that menu display, though... best leave that to the experienced coders!
