Reply With Quotealso, I was wondering if anyone has disabled the 'put foot on brake' in order to be able to start the car? It'd be nice to be able to lean in and press the button and in combination with another tweak, lock it and let it warm up in my driveway

You are very correct in your guess. Serves me right for diving straight in and not double-checking settings.
Don, I tried the Winking DRL change (then double.. and triple checked my changes) however the DRL's perform just like they used to when the indicator is on. Have you had any reports of it working on MY16 models?

Time-Lord: Hello again. I assume that you are referring to bobcrusader's tweak for DRL wink FOR FITTINGS WITH LED DRLs ONLY? I've just checked the instructions and I would have done it slightly different (I would have altered the priority between the wink and the parking light alpha-pairs, but my way would have been more complicated). Anyhow, bob's instructions look OK (IMO) and I've had no reports for other forum colleagues.
Without wishing to infer anything about the veracity of your changes (and assuming that you do have LED DRLs), have you considered examining the Codinglog.txt file that lives in the Ross Tech/debug subdirectory on the laptop that you use with your VCDS cable? It's a simple txt file, so you can open it with almost any text reader. Have a close look at the records in the file that pertain to the tweak and confirm that you made the changers that you thought you made.

Hi Don! I used the tweak referenced in the stickied thread, made by MRG_AU - VCDS (VAG-COM) codes and programmable options for Golf Mk7 - I will double check my settings as per your suggestion and report back. I do indeed have LED DRL's - however I'm trying to make the 'U' part of the headlight (parkers?) 'wink' as I am indicating to turn.
I don't suppose you'd know where I'd go looking for such an item to tinker with - I'm assuming it would be an adaptation?

Kiaorana: No at all- just an average bloke with an interest in CAN networks (like lot's of forum colleagues here - like you)!
Got my second hand BCM this morning, so I immediately hooked-it-up to the test jig (see below). It looks like a spaghetti bowl of wires, but they all make sense with the help of a bit of logic and a lot of luck! I'm very lucky to have found that the same jumper-wires that I use on Arduino circuits fit many of the pins on these controllers!
What's even more amazing is that the set-up actually works!!
I can poll the BCM with VCDS and VCP (OBD11 gets a bit cranky when it doesn't see a VIN in the polling process). I can talk to the BCM (via the CAN gateway) and it talks back in the correct language. Got lot's of DTC as you can imagine with no lamps connected, and no external equipment sending back the correct signals. But this doesn't matter for my purpose!!

Hi all. Got my second Golf GTD on Saturday to replace my previous 2013 MK7 GTD Pure white model (the new one is Carbon Steel Grey).
Just gone to replicate some of the VCDS mods I did on my previous car and one of them was the alarm chirp on locking / unlocking, which I like as it's quite subtle but just gives you that assurance that's it locked etc, however I can't find the adaptation channels on the new car.
Previously on the older car I followed these instructions and it worked perfectly. Anyone know where they are on the new car or has that function been removed completely ?
chirping of Alarm on lock and unlock
The following code is to be applied:
2. select STG 09 (vehicle power)
3. STG Access Permission -> Function 16
4. Enter unlock code 31347
5. STG adjustment -> function 10
6. Select Unlock (1) feedback signals-Acoustic feedback
7. adjust value to yes
8. Select (2) lock feedback signals-Acoustic feedback
9. adjust value to yes
10. (-Rückmeldungssignale-Acoustic feedback globally
11. Importance to actively adjust If desired, the DWA can in the menu control acknowledgment be independently enabled and disabled via the corresponding menu item:
12. (7) -Rückmeldungssignale-menu control acoustic feedback
13. Importance to actively adjust If desired, the duration of the acoustic feedback can be shortened:
14. (3) -Rückmeldungssignale-time of acoustic feedback from the single horn
15. Adjust Value briefly

Sootchucker: What appears to have happened is that your tweak steps have been taken from the Stemei.de site (which is in German language), but the text has been Google translated to English! Generally, this is not a problem, but in this case, some of the original German is needed because the adaptation channels in the BCM are in German (in part). I'm not familiar with the GTD, but I would very much doubt if the adapation channels have changed -Hi all.

I wrote a similar, but different set of instructions for this tweak using the car horn (i.e. not the siren chirp) which you can find HERE
The original Steime.de instructions using the siren chirp can be found HERE
Hope this helps

Thanks Don, it was actually you I was thinking about when I wrote the question
Has this been tested at all on an MIB II unit do you know (I'll give it a try tonight away).
Many thanks again.

hey don,
Any clue in making this tweak available. This was taken from another site.
