They look better with a different background colour but I am unable to get a pic atm sorry.

How do you change the dials with VCDS to the new "Arteon" 320 km/h look? I may only change the centre of the AID, i.e. the "dots" on each side of the centre of the AID with my VCDS latest version? I have 4 options to choose from, mine is also default number 2. My Passat B8 is a Highline - does it have to be an R-Line model to function?

These instructions apply for anything with the Adaptive Cruise / Lane Keeping assist hardware that also has LED headlights with AFS. This seems to be where people go wrong as none of the traditional coding nor VCDS that has been available caters for peeps who have LED headlights that have AFS.

Before starting this set the headlight switch to the off position.

Step 1. Open VCDS, make sure it's the latest version.
Step 2. Do an autoscan of your car and save the existing coding. If you **** this up, you can revert the coding of any module back how it was. If you do not know how to do an autoscan, stop at this point. The following steps are capable if incorrectly done of bricking your car. Proceed only if you are comfortable with VCDS.
All good? Okay!
Step 3. Open 09 Central Electric module and click security access. Enter in 31347
Step 4. Open Coding menu and look at the Current coding. Copy that fully and paste it into the New Coding window below. You need to change the coding from 1C to 1D as shown in the final version in the picture so you can see where 1D is and where yours will show 1C

Step 5. Click Do It! If it asks if you want to write workshop values to a module say no, try the built in ones.
Step 6. Go to Adaptations and find IDE08786-ENG116637-Assistance light functions-Menuesteuerung Fernlichtassistent and change it to present then click Do it!
Step 9. Go out of 09 Central Electrics module and enter A5-Frt Sens. Drv. Assistant module then go to coding. Change Byte 20 Bit 5-7 so it reads 20 Light Assist (AFS): High Beam Assistant (HBA)

Boom, you just enabled High Beam Assist. Go you good thing.
It will look like this;

Yet again, spent a bit of time last night making Dynamic Road Sign Display work on a 2016 VW Passat Alltrack. It works perfectly.

These instructions apply for anything with the Adaptive Cruise and Lane Keeping assist hardware in AU that is '16 onwards and has MIB2 Discover Pro installed.

Before starting this you need to accept that from time to time you'll get an error saying "Dynamic Road Sign Display Function Restricted" on the dash cluster if the camera can't see the signs clearly, something gets in the way or its underpants are just on incorrectly at that moment as we are in RoW / Australia. If you search around european forums people who have this enabled from factory in a country approved for it get this message from time to time as well. Want the feature and don't care about a warning? Read on! The warning doesn't cause any error codes within the system, it's just an advisory.

Step 1. Open VCDS, make sure it's the latest version.
Step 2. Do an autoscan of your car and save the existing coding. If you **** this up, you can revert the coding of any module back how it was. If you do not know how to do an autoscan, stop at this point. The following steps are capable if incorrectly done of bricking your car. Proceed only if you are comfortable with VCDS.
All good? Okay!
Step 3. Open up module A5, click on security access. Enter in 20103 and press Do It! This grants you access to the next part.

Step 4. Now you're authorized in A5, go into Coding helper and select Byte 16, then tick Bit 4. Click Exit then Do it!

Step 5. Go into Adaptations in A5, Select IDE04733-Road sign detection fusion mode. Change this to Road sign detection and press Do It!

Step 6. Go into the 5F module, go to coding, look at Byte 24 and ensure Bit 6 is selected. It was enabled on mine (and it also had no map for this module). It's a requirement and worth checking it's ticked already. If not, tick it, select exit, select Do it!

Step 7. Go into 5F module adaptations, go to ENG122229-ENG117754-Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-traffic_sign_recognition_0x21 and set it to activated then select do it!

Step 8. Go into 5F module adaptations, go to ENG122227-ENG117636-Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2-menu_display_road_sign_identification and select activated then select do it!

Step 9. Go into module 17, select coding, change Byte 5 and enable bit 2. Select exit then Do it!

Step 10. Clear any error codes that occured along the way in VCDS. Turn the car off, lock it, go for a walk. Let all the modules go to sleep.
Step 11. Take the car for a drive and watch as the speed signs are detected by the camera as you whizz past them and shown up in the centre cluster on atop the speed area.

could anyone share the factory autoscan for 2016 B8 Passat 140TDI R-Line if possible? I lost my hard drive and after tweaking some stuff, the drivers assistance menu now not responding

Dashboard
Adaptation
Scroll to the bottom to tube_version
0-5 (I think, all have differences from dash's to R clocks (as pictured))

Is there anyone in the Melbourne area willing to do a few of these tweaks with some beers/wine in return? Looking specifically for traffic/sign recognition but if there's any other mods people would recommend I'm all ears.
