VCDS (VAG-COM) codes and programmable options for Golf Mk7

[phproxy]

Has anyone come across a Mk7.5 GTE ?

It looks like the "inner L" headlight LED is physically there, but not enabled unless you take a dynamic curve lighting option? Any ideas if it's 'programmable'?

Hi, it's been a while since my last post. Will pick-up my new Golf R-Line (not R) later this week. Have it fully optioned. Does anyone know/have the VCDS tweaks and codes for this model?
One issue I'm particularly cheesed off about are the head lights. Apparently I have the new LED head lights but without dynamic mode which is also indicated by the fact that I only have one LED driving light each side, not two as is the case in euro models. Does anyone know if that can be switched on with VCDS? Yes I do have VCDS.

Hi,

I posted a similar comment here:

As you say, the euro GTI/GTD (+R line ?) all have this "inner L" enabled, yet the GTE does not, unless you go for another lighting option..So there's a few GTE owners and yourself wondering if this can be enabled via VCDS.

We will find out at the end of this week when I pickup my car and plug in the cable

Has anyone managed to get the Battery SOC status to show up on the MFD? It wasn't enabled on my 92TSI from factory although it seems to be on some other Aus spec cars?

It's not listed in my adaption channels on OBD11 - is there a way to add it?

Thanks

Same problem....

I tested today again.

And I have SOC activated, but guess when I tested before it wasn't there.

And I can't find the option to activate or deactivate on VCDS, but SOC is active.

How that's possible? Strange.

Anyone can post a photo of activation of SOC on vcds?

Thanks.

Picked up my new R-Line last Thursday. Very nice. Have been looking through VCDS but can’t yet find the setting which turns on the inner L and also dynamic function.

mick: Hi. These features are relatively new, so I suspect that there will be a leaning period before the tweaks get sorted-out. I'm happy to (try-to) provide input if I can, but I need access to the adaptation channel map for the module @ address hex09 on the new R-Line (it's called the BCM, or Cent. Elect. by VCDS)


This is how to make an admap:



Choose the .CSV function and then put a copy of the file on a third party hosting site (like dropbox) - then post a link to the location here.

The other thing that might help is an autocsan from your new car.

PS:I suspect that you have not created any admaps yet. However, I reckon that it's good, basic VCDS hygiene to create an admap for every control module in your car with their virgin settings (i.e. before you make any changes). Then, just keep the database somewhere safe- if you never need to access it, it's a good thing. But the database will be an invaluable reference source if (when?) the brown stuff and the fan meet!

Hi Don,
That would be great.
See below for the link to the two files you asked for.
Good Luck

mick: Thanks for the files - what a very interesting car!!!

First - I suspect that your dealer has used the normal Australian VW dealer definition of a pre-delivery check; a car wash and a smile as you hand-over the final bank cheque!! Your BCM has an error that was registered in the car when it had traveled 12 kms (so- probably in the factory, or on the wharf). The fault frequency for the error (called a DTC) is 1, which means that the error hasn't occurred again in any ignition sequence in the subsequent 136 kms. So, I suggest that you clear the error message - more than likely it won't re-appear!

As for your BCM, some intriguing observations:

1. This is one of the newer type modules that has no code. So no Bytes/Bits to worry about. All the software switches that were in the code-string, are now in adaptation channels. The admap has an impressive channel-count of 2,040!!
2. The usual method of control for the front headlight assemblies doesn't occur on your car. In former modules, Leuchte-sets were the method of control. On your car, the Leuchte-sets for the main beam lamps, DRLs, front turn signals are all deactivated. Only the low-beam lamps have an active Leutche-set for the headlight fittings - real odd!
3. You seem to have 2 x new modules that I've not previously seen on a mk7: the modules @ address hexD6: Light Ctrl Left 2 (A31) and @ address hexD7: Light Ctrl Right 2 (A27). These modules don't have a code string. Can you make an admap for these 2 xmodules - please?
