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

[jonoz]

So went to town on the G7R and found the following;

Changing "Blinker" Cycles- VCDS Tweak
No luck, followed to the letter after setting anything from 1 to 5 the blinker simply does 3 cycles.
Anyone have any tips on this?

To Mute Soundakator
Flawless, instant difference and definitely confirms the need for an aftermarket exhaust on the R.

Automatic Rain Closing
Set but untested.

Enable Traffic Information (TMC) on Mk7 Golf - VCDS tweak
Perfect.

Restore fan speed indicator in "Auto" mode
Perfect.

8. Beep when unlock/lock.(if you have alarm fitted)
Didn't work until doing this setting also;

(7)-Acknowledgement Signals -Menuesteuerung akustische Rueckmeldung (Acoustic lock menu)
This enables a menu setting in the "car" settings, "Locking" menu of the infotainment screen to set alarm chirp on or off when locking /unlocking the car and have the option to switch it on or off from the head unit.

By the blinker cycles do you mean the lane change thing? If so have you tried turning it off completely in the car menu and holding the indicator half way whilst you change lanes?

Sorry if this is not what you're talking about.

Janos: as I said in my tweak instructions, exactly the same thing happened to me. I found that I had to re-set the BCM control module to factory settings before the change would be accepted. I describe how to do this in the latter part of my post.

Please don't take this the wrong way but are you absolutely sure that you have changed the correct adaptation channel? Just as a confirmation that you have followed the instructions correctly (again, I don't mean to imply that you haven't), you could check the Codinglog.txt file. If you aren't aware of how to use this file, I posted a short paper on the topic in my Mk7 VCDS Tweak - Reference thread under Reference Resouces, How To Guide.

Failing this, you could post-up, or send me a copy of the auto-scan report for your car (an adpmap for address-09 would be even better, if you have made one), so i can see what type of BCM is in your car.

So you mean to run this bit?

1. Press the Car button on the RHS of the discover/composition media head.
2. Press Set-up on the bottom RHS of the screen
3. In the Vehicle Setting screen, press the Factory Settings panel (it's at the very end of the list at the bottom of the screen)
4. In the Factory Settings screen, under Reset individual settings/data, press Light
5. Press Reset tab in the window that says Reset "light" settings-are you sure?

Haha not at all mate, I work in IT and this is completely new to me to understand that the first place to generally assume is user error After reading through VWVortex I realised I should have been using the beta of VCDS for Mk7 changes so have upgraded to this and will perform the rest and reprogram the blink cycles.

Really appreciate the offer for assistance mate, will see how I go after giving the ol' girl a clean.

Doing a factory reset on the lighting setting fixed up the custom cycle count.

JanoZ : Yep-that's the bit of the tweak instructions that I mean. If you haven't done the re-set yet, then I'm almost positive that it will fix your problem! Good Luck

PS: the ol' girl looks real pretty!!

Subsequently, 5 cycles feels too long and 3 cycles too short so have set it to 4.

Seems each change requires a reset of the lighting for it to come into action.

Hey guys,

can anyone tell/show me how to disable the Brake Pad sensor on the golf r mk7? I am looking at installing a BBK and the pads don't have a sensor.

Thanks for your help in advance.

When you will be removing the old pads, cut off the wire from the old ones leaving connector connected and join 2 wires together and insulate. No need to code it out, plus if you go back to the oem, you only need to remove the old b.pads connector and fit the new pads.

Hey Miro,

prefer not to cut anything. Should be easy (once I know how) to reverse the code if I decide to put the car back to stock
I am more then happy for you to come and install the bbk for me. And KW DDC if you like.
