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

[DV52]

I've got this error on an Auto-scan in the 5F: Information Electr. section:

1 Fault Found:

I've just hard wired a rear dashcam by connecting the 12V to 5V adaptor/USB to the 12V (cigarette plug) in the boot (behind the trim). It's working fine so I assume I have not short-circuited anything. Any idea how I can fix this? Where is the Antenna 2? I've tried clearing it and it immediately recurs.

Thanks!

hmmm.......... not sure that I understand the DTC message. According to my data, aerial amplifier 2 is located in bottom right of the rear window. But, the amplifier is only installed on vehicles with a TV (and therefore with an active MOST ring). Your car can't possibly have this equipment - or, does it?

Anyhow, I'm tempted to read the DTC as a connector problem for antenna 2 (FM reception - I assume), rather than relating to the workings of the amplifier. 0 dB reception for this aerial doesn't seem like a good number (neither does 0mA).

Given that the error message refers to "open circuit" (so yes, I agree with your statement that you "have not short circuited anything"), it suggests that perhaps a wire connection was displaced when the dash-cam cable was being routed to the rear ciggy plug (behind the trim). Just a guess of course - but it might be prudent to check the dashcam power cable route for any near-by connectors (I think)!

Regarding how make the dot LED DRL to work along with U LED DRL in all light switch positions...



Is anyone able to reply? Is there any way to have just the dot LED running?

I'm keen to know this as well. Would be sweet if the DRLS and parking Leds could be permanently on would be awesome.

Thanks for your help. I have a Wolfie Wagon but as you expected no TV. By "bottom right of the rear window" I presume you mean the bottom of the fixed glass on the right side of the boot? That's the area I was working on to get the cigarette plug installed so may be I have dislodged something. I'll have a look and see if I can find something.

Thanks!

Drive: On my beast - with the rotary light switch in the auto position and in night time conditions, the main beam and parking light are switched-on as normal. If I turn-off the ignition, the main beam lamps turn-off when the ignition is turned-off (i.e. the Terminal 15 voltage is removed) and the parking lights turn-off when the key is removed from the lock barrel (i.e. the "S" contact is opened). This behavior is established (I believe) by setting to active the adaptation channel in the BCM with the title Driving light and parking light-Standlicht aus bei LDS=ABL und S-Kontakt aus.

During daylight hours, the main beam doesn't illuminate (of course) and whilst the parking light lamp is switched-on, it functions as a DRL.

Don: I tried setting Driving light and parking light-Standlicht aus to "not active" but the car still kept the parking lights on until key removed after ignition is turned off. I'm looking for a way to disable this so parking lights will just turn off with ignition only. Any other suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Drive: just as complete guess, why not try disabling Scandinavian DRLs temporarily and see if this has any effect on the DRL/parking light behavior? Perhaps play with the above adaptation channel again without Scandinavian DRLs.

Scandinavian DRLs channel is Daytime running lights-Tagfahrlicht-Dauerfahrlicht aktiviert zusartzlich Standlicht >active

Is it possible to turn off the small Square lights and keep the L on, but turn them on only with braking?

Don't think so mate. I'm fairly certain they are the same light bulb for each square and L.

I wonder if you can activate Mirror Link icon in the Discovery Media via VCDS so you can buy the activation code that in the workshop told me that if there is no icon you can not activate it all.


Thank you.

How did you end up doing this ? I have tried with VCDS but no luck

[Rob72331]

Well I have completely figured how to make the infotainment colours customizable with multiple colours that are changeable through the infotainment system. With my Passat R it also changes the colours in the digital dash. So stoked to get this sorted again.

How did you manage this ?
