Dynamic Light Assist

[Wynnston]

p.s. when u see "Dynamic Light Assist" option in the infotainment, it could mean either HBA (high beam assist) or DLA (dynamic light assist) is enabled.

HBA does not require uploading of 4B parameter files.
DLA does require uploading of 4B parameter files, unless it was pre-loaded from factory, which i believe the Arteons and the newer Golfs are.
i don't know if the Tiguan fits in the same bucket too.

Does anyone in Perth have VCP or ODIS that could help me with this? It's a pretty cool feature that I want to get working properly on my car.

Hey, I know this is on a Tig but I managed to get it working on the Passat too. The downside is that we all think it still required further programming to work properly, not just module parameter changes, but actual programming.

I could get it to do all the stuff, except it wouldn't do the DLA style dance at start-up, just the normal one. It was also a bit slow to react to oncoming cars and cars from behind. It did it, but it was slow. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't quite working as it should and reverted it as I didn't want to blind someone in traffic. I understand from previous posts that the Tigs and some newer cars might already have this programming present, if it doesn't then you might want to look into getting it put in place before using it.

my understanding is the Passat B8 certainly requires the 4B parameter file to be uploaded, either via VCP or ODIS.
the screenshot below was taken from when a B8 was being activated for DLA, via VCP.

that's how we knew that we needed to do the same thing, but for the Superb.

Hi Wynnston,

I'm Perth based with this working in my car (Tig). Fully activated with startup dance included. I activated it via OBD Eleven (no parameters required).

I'm happy to loan you my OBD Eleven if you want to have a crack? Should work on the newer Tiguans but if you have a Passat probably not much use to you.

Cheers

Ok, tonight we have a complete success. I've managed to get it all activated with no errors!!

2019 Tiguan SWB Highline with Sound & Vision and R-Line packs.

All steps completed with OBD Eleven Pro

My 4B coding below, note I already had HBA activated. That includes Central Electrics 09 Byte 2 bits 0 & 1 enabled. Not sure if that would make a difference or not.

Follow the initial linked instructions until you get to module 4B.
My module 4B value: 000000050900084E07104F050A000000000000000000000000 0000000000

Run basic headlight settings then acknowledge, clear the headlight basic setting fault in 4B - noticed the DLA headlight dance at this point.

After that, I went into the Discover Pro, Menu > Vehicle > Factory Defaults > Lights. Then I soft reset the MIB. Turned the ignition off, turned it back on, started the engine, all working.

Something to note is the cornering lights, despite not showing an error, didn't work until I did the above steps.

I'll get out on the road tonight and give it a whirl.

Got it done thank you Seems to be doing the right sequence when lights do the dance so will see what happens in the dark tonight

Cleared all the errors as per instructions but when I did a full scan afterwards got 5 faults in control modules They came good after clearing them and they were Light control front left and right, one in 4B, one in A5 and one in 09 but all good now. Cornering lights are working when i turn the wheel in the dark in the garage

Nice one! Glad to see you got it working.

I noticed in the module for lights there is a setting for PREDICTIVE LIGHTS I wonder if thats what the Superbs have got and what would happen if it was enabled?????
wonder if it would need coding or just turning on

PACC predictive ACC is the next level again.
Available on Arteon (have seen it enabled on other cars but a lot of work) it fuses map data with camera and radar to bend lights before an upcoming bend, adjust speed before corners and adjust speed based on road sign recognition...

Hey thanks, but I already have OBDEleven and VCDS. BTW, we have VW group coffee meets every Saturday morning @ Elixir Nedlands (8-10am). There's also a PerthVW Group page which is great for talking to local people about VW stuff too.

Sounds like it might be a bit overpowering if it does all that and the speed sign recognition isnt exactly perfect here as i have seen it put some odd speeds up when in fact they werent anywhere to be seen which makes me think that some of it is done from GPS location.
Have also seen that it apparently gave some drivers motion sickness as it was somewhat disconcerting to see the lights drift sideways and the car wasnt.

Can you remember the coding for the autoretracting drivers seat in a Passat??? I think you told me once about the time of the folding mirrors

Certainly not enabled in the Superb - standard AFS, or SLA.
As Kamold said, I think it requires the TSR in Fusion mode with the maps.

While PACC would b nice to have, I don't want my car determining the speed I take a corner
