VCDS Tweaks

So should I be buying the OBDEleven or VCDS!?

VCDS lets you change everything.

OBD11 is only what the developers have implemented. So if there's something that you want to change and it hasn't been written yet you have to wait until the functionality is written to support it.

But OBD11 is about 1/4-1/3 the price...

Is it possible then to change the AID layout with VCDS?

Obd11 but it's nice to have both. But the 11 is only $75 vs $450 or something like that.

It seems the app that accompanies OBDEleven supports Android devices only?

Or have I missed something?

Yes only Android. I think This has to do with Apple limiting serial connection functionality of Bluetooth in iOS

It's about time apple missed out, serves them right for flooding the world with inferior products which are made to seem better but I truly ****. I left my two cents

So. Spent a bit of time last night making High Beam Assist work on a 2016 VW Passat Alltrack.

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;

Mythik, that is a great write up!
To date I have been unable to get this to work either (with LED headlights) but with these clear instructions, we should finally be onto a winner!!!

Please give this a go and let us know how you fair.

Got the fancy-pants sport theme on the AID

Dash Board (17) -> Adaption -> Tube_version -> Variant 4 (Default for me was Variant_2)
