Obscure Features

[Jakeys]

Hey Hillbilly, appreciate the PM, I concur with Passat R36 though, you're describing a B7 specific feature. Still good to have in the thread for those B7 owners that wander through.

How much money/difficulty is it to upgrade the driver door module, I wonder? Would looove power fold. How does the remote fold the mirrors too, all the time with lock?

There may yet be a way to do remote folding....
I need to get my controller out and change some data in the EEPROM to see if it works.

Alternative is to replace all 4 door controllers with Gen4. The Gen3 controllers are all individually attached to the convenience CANbus whereas the gen4 controllers have the rears slaved to the fronts via LIN. This is the way they are configured in all newer VWs I've seen.

Controllers sounds not promising for simplicity! If it's not plug and play and cheap it's probably not worth it. Keep us posted on a software solution if at all possible! While you're in there, make my car needle stage cause I can't enable that on my MY10.5.

Does this help with the folding mirrors?

If it does cool, I'd need to figure out how to use it with obdeleven.

No those instructions are for an A4, not Passat.
I'll try and get to pulling my controller out and reflashing the eeprom later this week.
