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

[DV52]

I played with 2SL and 3SL last week with my outer U LED DRL's and successfully made them wink default was always on. Looks nice after modification.

One thing I noticed recently:
why would the inner dot DRL won't glow when light switch is set to (o) position? However outer U glows in every position?
Both 4TFL and 5 TFL A channel is DRL and AB is 127 and always.
Only other channel is CD for general and parking and they are also set to 127 maximum.
This dot LED works in all other positions except zero position and also it won't come on during daytime when the switch position is on Auto.

I'm not sure but the answer will lie in the admap for the BCM on your car. If you scrutinise the settings in 35 x Leuchte-sets for the word "daytime running lights" you will identify the pertinent channels. I've not had access to your type of headlight assemblies - I had understood (incorrectly as it would appear) that only one of "angel-eyes" operated on the standard fittings that weren't in the golf R .

Another observation:
Start-Stop, has anyone tried the 19-Can gateway adaptation, deactivate start stop function value "stop prohibition, no start request"?
I did it today at 9pm and have driven to shops and friends house at least up to 10 stop cycles and in normal mode. Start stop always stayed deactivated.
No confidence yet because sometimes this system doesn't stop unless hard press break etc etc. although I did tried all things known to me to make it stop but it did not stop.
I will report tmrw evening to see if it really works. Then may be we have alternative method without altering the voltage or temperature.

Start Stop has been one of my obsessions since I first got my mk7 - I hate it with a vengeance! After much reading and looking at the references to SS in the various control modules, I'm convinced that there is no way to really disable this terrible facility. The problem is that SS is so integrally mesh into the DNA of the car that there doesn't appear to be an easy method to disable it! The VCDS tweak (either Voltage, or Temperature method) really only tricks the car by using one of SS's limiting controls. The problem with the tweak is that it leaves the tell-tale symbol (letter A with a slash) on the dash whenever the car comes to a halt.

When last I had the car serviced, I had a hard time convincing the mechanic that saw the tell-tale message that there wasn't a fault with the car. He even discussed the problem with the muppet-boffins at HQ and he booked my car for a further investigation which I won't meet (he still doesn't believe that it's possible to defeat SS).

Much better method of dealing with SS (IMO) is the Automatic SS kill switch that I recently designed -my irrational abhorrence of SS was so great, that I had to do something! The good thing about the kill switch is that it uses the car's own disabling facility - it's the only "chink" in the design of SS that I could find. I've been using the kill switch for about two months now (so has matteus) and it has worked every time that I switch the ignition-on. Definitely a better solution - I think
