VCDS For 6R Polo (primarily GTI)

[bbui]

Hey guys,

Anyone available with a controller to change these settings this weekend?
I can provide alcohol =).

PM please.

Thanks!

Got a few good ones here, especially for the GTI owners out there!

In VCDS Select Control Module, go to 03 ABS Brakes, then 10 Adaptation, go to Channel:

Channel 09 Brake Assist
There are 3 settings for this
0-center (stock setting)
1-small
2-hard

The stock setting is 0, change it to 2 and this makes the brake pedal more responsive to smaller inputs. Feels more positive in use, especially under enthusiastic motoring.

Channel 36 XDS
There are 3 settings
0-center (stock setting)
1-weak
2-strong

Change this from 0 to 2 and this one mod alone apparently makes the Polo into a different/better beast under hard driving.

Forgot to mention that I'm located in Doncaster, VIC.

If you want to take the Touchscreen Unit out of the Cradle but can't because the it shuts down the bluetooth. Or if your iPhone is cutting out playback on the MDI when the bluetooth connects, try these.

*You only need to do VCDS coding if you want nothing in the cradle or using a non-VW branded Bury cradle*
ie. If you get another VW-Branded phone specific cradle, you do not need to do any coding. But if you get a cradle from Bury (who make the cradle system), you will need to code it.


To deactivate the touchscreen warning, first make sure your phones BT is off. It'll reject the coding if its connected to something.
Load up VCDS -> Select Control module -> 77 - Telephone
In Telephone go select coding and enter...

To deactivate A2DP (which stops the iPhone cutting out on MDI) and touchscreen warning enter this code instead.

Hey There,

Just like to if by removing the BT Touchscreen, have you also removed the actual cradle for it from your dash? If so how did you go about it? It looks bloody ugly just sitting there!

Cheers,

Just having a read through these posts... Might be a silly question but is there a guide or anything on how to use VCDS. The coding seems complex and what does all the bits and bytes mean?

Hey mate,

Could I ask what kind of LED parking lights you have installed? Have you had any issues with a lamp fault warning?

No I've had the cradle sitting there with the touch unit out since I've bought it. I don't really notice it at all. You can put a phone specific Bury System 9 unit in there for charging and better phone reception if you like.

Hmm... regarding this - I bought a Bury system 9 dock for Galaxy S3.
Since I took out the standard small lcd unit - it asks to put it back in before the phone can work (on the MFD display).

Does the above enable me to use the phone with my new dock?
Just want to ensure I have the right instructions before I find someone else with VCDS!

So basically I want to replace the standard LCD unit with my dock and have my phone still able to work via bluetooth on the MFD.

Thanks

I have to agree with you on this but im lead to believe that if you were able to remove the cradle it would leave a reasonably large hole in your dash.. which is less than ideal

I wonder who knows the coding to turn the Aircon recirculating mode to On permanently. Thanks in advance

This is not normally done as it can lead to an overabundance of stale air which may cause sleepiness.

I did read in a manual where you shouldnt run with this setting for long periods for that reason.

What cable do I need to run this software and where do you connect on the Polo 6R

I'd personally recommend this:



From here:

Ross-Tech Store: VCDS License with HEX-USB+CAN Interface


And it plugs in just above your right shin when you're sitting in the driver's seat (it's a pretty pink port on my GTI :/):







Just enabled the self-locking function and tweaked the Brake Assist and XDS settings (thanks Gavs & readerr0r for providing valuable info!)
