VCDS For 6R Polo (primarily GTI)

[AC74]

I'd love to be able to disable Daytime Headlights (different to DRLs) on my car, but I've got halogens not xenons - can anyone help??

Have a look in this thread:

How to deactivate daytime running lights?

Works perfectly.

Thanks Fontana! I saw that thread ages ago but had completely forgotten about it.

Cheers!

When the car comes to a stop, passenger doors can simply be unlocked by pulling the door lever, any idea how to deactivate this so only when i press unlock button they can exit the car safely and not hit passing traffic?

Isnt that a safety feature so that they dont trap you in an acccident.

My father had that happen and because they couldnt open the doors he nearly died.

I have deactivated the auto door locking for the very same reason.

I know things have improved since his accident but Murphys law is still alive and well

Teach the passengers to be more careful. I try to say "wait till I tell you to open doors".

My new MY13 GTI (build date 13 Dec 2012) arrived at my local Christchurch dealership for PDI today. I collect it on Friday . I asked my dealer to tweak 3 VCDS settings prior to delivery: lane change indicator blinks to be increased from 3 to 4; instrument "staging" to be enabled; and audible locking/unlocking to be enabled.

They succeeded with the audible locking, but told me that the option for indicators are either on and fixed at 3 blink or the feature can be turned off. They also told me that staging is not possible at all on the Polo, including the GTI.

I'm sure the indicators can be tweaked, but less sure about instrument staging. Any thoughts?

MY 2010 has had the blinks changed but the audible locking didnt work and I never worry about staging. Just for posing IMHO

Hi everyone. I just received my polo gti R12.5 and was wondering what was the auto-lock/ unlock code via VCDS?

Does anyone know the answer to this question? My dealer has enabled the auto-lock, but say there's no unlock option. And my attempts to find an unlock VCDS has come up zilch.

Central Electronics Control Unit (09)
Byte 0
Bit 3 Auto-Unlock (Unlocking When Removing the Ignition Key)
Bit 4 Auto-Lock (Automatic Locking above 15km/h)
Bit 5 Central Locking Installed

Check all of these & you'll have auto lock & unlock active.

Thank you so much. Off to my friendly non-dealer VW mechanic to see if they flip the bits for me...

Otherwise...Ross Tech...hmmm...
