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

[mickofoz]

I only buy interesting cars Don haha. I will get you the two files tomorrow. As for the error, yes I noticed and will clear the fault next time I log in. Looks like it will take some investigation to find out whether changes to the lights are possible.

Hi Don,
here is the link for the additional two files you asked for. I have also included another controller file, A5.
I actually found Long Coding settings (see image). However, no matter what option I chose, my headlights stayed the same.
Very disappointing. Maybe there are multiple settings for this.

***UPDATE***
I have been in touch with friends of mine in Germany who just confirmed that there are two different headlight units depending on whether you ordered your car with or without dynamic light assist. Unfortunately that is not what I wanted to hear. So that's it. I'm stuck with one "L" either side.

Mick: Once again, thanks for the data - your car gets more fascinating with each new piece of information that you share!!

The module @ address hexA5 - which is where your screenshot is taken, is the front facing camera that's glued to the windshield. It's used for lots of driver assist functions including High-beam assist.

The information in the modules @ address D6 & D7 was a bit disappointing. These have exactly the same modules, but they have no useful data.

As I said previously - needs some experimentation IMO

Well, maybe someone smarter than me will eventually work it out. I also got TMC to work. Can’t believe VW don’t turn it on. It uses code 1024.

Hi, just wanted to add thanks for the info on instrument lighting for day time illumination. I have a UK 2015 GTD and full VCDS cable if I can supply any useful data. Cheers, Mike.

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.

I have the same car, Have you noticed they turn on when the headloghts are on?

[mickofoz]

AndrewEsno, whatdo you mean? On my car the inner L does not turn on, only the outer L.

Hi,


I activated automatic coming home, but can someone say if this behavior that's as it should do?


If I exit car without lock the car, all rear lights are on:





If I exit car, lock the car, only this rear lights are on, the other one switches off:




Pictures are just an example. Please check the rounded marks.

Nothing to do with leaving the rotary light switch in the parking light position with the turn-signal stalk in the left turn position

I activated automatic coming home lights, instead pull the lights stalk.

So my doubt is:

When I exit car, coming home is already activated, and rear lights are as picture 1.

After that I lock the car the rear lights are as picture 2.


Rounded marks = What light is on.

Not sure. I have different tail lights to yours.

Should be the same, if anyone can test.
