Hello frostywinter, did you do anything special or different? I have a MY18 TDI Highline 7.5 and the traffic wont show up after coding with obdeleven! Have done it on 5 other MQB based VAG cars but this is the only one not working.

Thanks Heath

I did it about 6 weeks ago now and can't really remember the steps I took, I will look up how I did it and post here.

Next week should be taking ownership of a Indium Grey GTI with Driver Assist, Infotainment and Lux pack. Can't wait. This is my first GTI (and first VW). Awesome drive and the feature set is quite astonishing for the price.

Great pick with all the extras i also ticked every box and am not dissapointed at all they are what make the 7.5 such a step up from the plain 7 tbh

I know that feeling. Been spending my time reading up on the mods possible with OBDEleven.

Has anyone had any luck fitting the Dynamic taillights to a 7.5 GTI? Thinking about just getting the dealer to fit. (If they can/will)

I've had them fitted on my MK7. All the dealers I contacted wouldn't have a bar of it.

Ended up going with Volkstech, who are ex-VW mechanics & know what they're doing; They did this + LED rego lights & dynamic mirror indicators in the one day.

When I picked it up, the dealer asked one of his techs and they said it should be doable as the Euro MK7.5 comes with it. They said they'd do it but would be cheaper if I went online. :/

I'm on Mid North Coast NSW so Volkstech is a bit far. Did they supply and fit or did you source the parts yourself?

Supplied & fitted.

Do you need whole new light fittings or just the controller for the Sweep? If it's just the controller then it shouldn't take too long nor cost heaps?

It'd pay to compare pricing to your local third party installer though as dealers are more expensive.

Would've thought there was a place near you....have you checked the retailer sections on here?

I've reached out to a few VW guys in Coffs to see if it's something they can help with. I'll need the full tail lights from the looks of it. It has LED tail lights, but not lights that support the sweep.

I'm pretty new to VW/Golf so I'm still learning and reading threads. The plan is to fit the sweeping indicators and dynablink mirrors.
