Adaptive Cruise Control - Golf 7.5

[DV52]

I don't understand where you say hex13 module, Byte 2, Bit 5! That sounds like you hacked into the coding rather than using an interface or something?

I guess that ALL coding changes made with a diagnostic cable can be defined as a form of "hack" - but no, I wasn't suggesting that you do anything nefarious with your VCDS cable.

In formal VCDS speak, the tweak (hack?) goes something like this:

Disable "overtaking right prevention"

1. plug-in the cable/dongle into the car's OBD port and connect to VCDS software.
   
   
2. On the upper right part Select Control Module of the screen above, click on select
   
   
3. On the screen above, click on 13-Auto Dist. Reg
   
   
4. On the screen above, click on Coding - 07
   
   
5. On the screen above select Long Coding Helper
   
   
6. Navigate to Byte 2 and remove tick from Bit 5 - then click "X" on the top RHS of screen above
7. Return to the Recode Module screen (see step #5 picture), click Do It!! and follow screen prompts to confirm change
8. Exit VCDS software - remove cable/dongle from OBD port

And is the "!" after the "5" correct.

hmm.......... the "!" after the "5" is grammatically correct - I hope. I used the exclamation mark for emphasis (for, added feeling) because I opened the sentence with the phrase "The good news is".

This said, grammar most definitely isn't my strong point - English is my second language and I believe that I'm more numerate than literate.

So, I'm delighted to be corrected if you feel that I've made a syntactic faux-pas!

Not being critical but I learnt years ago when describing coding to ONLY write what it actually needed to be done and nothing else. If you add stuff amateurs take what you write literally and so it doesnt work.

That one is also a lot simpler to do with a OBDEleven

No 9 in this list

Well firstly its Overtaking on the LEFT that it prevents here and yes it can

DAMNATION. I just saw Don's reply. If you saw what I just said, ignore it. I have now deleted until I study Don's reply.

Brilliant once again Don/DV52. "A picture tells a thousand words" as the saying goes.
Elsewhere (I can't find it now), I read mention of "Security code 20103" to do with deactivating the overtaking. Is that something I need to know about?

[notaGolfR]

OK Hillbilly and thanks.
I also saw your link to "BEST ALL Tiguan Electric Mods" using OBDELEVEN it certainly looks simpler than VCDS. My only query is, is it obvious where you use "Security code 20103", or can you explain.

Yes its at the bottom of the screen and you enter it before changing anything. Sometimes if you forget it will ask for it before it will let you do it.

Naarh- I can't recall needing a security code when I made the change. Generally, security codes aren't required for changing long-code values - but if asked, toss-in 20103 (it's as good a number as any other)!!

Final point that I failed to make on my pictorial instructions: the last screenshot comes from the so-called "experimental" long coding helper (notice that it's yellow, rather than the traditional Ross-Tech grey screens). The yellow screens are only accessible on the newest HEX series devices. I'm not sure which version you have, but if you don't get option for changing Byte 2, Bit 5 - post-up the value of your long-code string and I will calculate your new value
