VCDS Tweaks

[mythik]

Cheers
I tried sunroof coding but when I went in to stg09, I got an error in vcds about a missing .rod file. I was able to enter the security code but can’t access 10-adaptation as it’s greyed out.

I tried copying the newer rod files from
V18 vcds which I downloaded from rosstech, but it didn’t seem to work. 10 is always greyed out in multiple menus.

Didn’t have this issue on my other car though so much just be an age/compatibility thing..

I’m immobile for the next few weeks thanks to foot surgery so no rush I guess. A 6er is easily done

It would also be worth trying a simple email to the company you bought it off about a newer version of their cracked software. See what they say. I see on their site they have a 17 version.

Managed to get hold of a 17.8 cable and was able to do this. Sunroof now opens and closes and got traffic to work. Now to review several pages and work out other cool ****.

I don’t have the active dash unfortunately but plenty of other tweaks look sweet.

I saw that you can get the rear indicators to alternate between the outside and inside lights, is it at all possible to do a sweep like the newer Audi’s?

Our indicators are only on the outside half of the rear lamp unit so any sweep would be pretty short without a hardware change as well unfortunately.

Fair point, I took a squiz last night and you're right, only the outside wouldn't probably work...

I'm interested in the legality of mucking around with the tail LEDs in unison with blinking the indicator?
I got the outer-LED to blink in unison, just wonder if that's "legal" or if no one really cares about that stuff?

Oh and another thing..
I tried to enable the Traffic Sign Recognition and Needle Sweep using the instructions provided earlier in this thread, and while my coding was accepted, it didn't seem to save.
Same with the Needle Sweep.. I have a MY16 with older style dash, not the active one.. does this matter?
Re Traffic Sign - does my car not have the required hardware to use this function?

I've only had the B8 about 4 weeks and still new to all this stuff.

hi. I got an alarm horn installed at my passat b8 which is delivered at november 2017. I am using vcds version 18.2, but I can not reach "Address 09: Central electrical system" to code the part. Is there any workaround for this ?

These BCMs do not have any coding.
All changes are controlled through adaptation channels.

Thanks kamold. I checked the adaptation channels and found the correct one.

Just check on the Ross tech site. They specify all the vehicles that are compatible with each cable.

Some of the cables aren’t compatible with the older cars - especially if you’re buying a second hand cable pays to check.
