A guide to enable EU specific features for AU Spec Tiguans

[bendor]

Bender: This tweak (setting the car type to Audi) has been floating about for some time now. A few of us over on the mk7 thread (which is also built on an MQB platform - like the new Tiggy) tried it. My experience with this tweak was that it did not make an appreciable difference (if any) to performance and that using the Audi setting caused an incompatibility problem with the ABS module. I can't remember now the exact error message, but the ABS complained bitterly until I reverted the setting back.

In a remarkable coincidence of happenstance (how's that for a tautology ?)- I've just been corresponding with a another colleague via PM about this very matter. My colleague (point) implemented a tweak which was first posted by XaGiCo and which was reported as dramatically changing the responsiveness of the vehicle. It goes like this:


1) Select Command Module: 44 - Steering Assist
2) Select Security Access: 16 Access Code 19249
3) Select Adaptation: 10
4) Select Driving profile switchover and Vary parameter 'Direct; controlled over threshold value'

Now, Ive personally not tried the tweak, but point reports that it has resulted in a much better responsiveness from his (her?) gearbox,

Don

Thanks Don, sadly I will only be able to try these in late October once mine arrives

Is your tweak specifically for VWs or do you think that will also work on Skodas....if so I might twist my bros arm to try it?

So I think I have managed to have some success here with activating this wit the R-Line LED lights. Here is what I have done (using OBDeleven):

Make sure Lights are switched off
Control Unit: Central Electronics (Hex09)
Adaption - Fernlicht_assistent - Menuesteuerung Fernlichtassistent: Change to Present
Adaption - Fernlicht_assistent - Erweiterte_Frenlichtsteuerung: Change to AFS, FLA, Fernlicht ueber AFS (mine was originally set to: AFS, Fernlicht ueber AFS) - This was the important change that wasn't documented anywhere else and seems to stop the rest of the coding from working.
Coding - Long Coding - Byte 2: Change to Hex3 (Bit 0=1, Bit 1=1)
Control Unit: Front Sensors Driver Assistance System (HexA5)
Coding - AFS_coding_Light_assist: Change to High_Beam_Assist (Long coding Byte 21 - Hex 20 (Bit 5=1))

Once I had done this I now have Light Assist showing in the Car Settings Menu under Light Settings:

Attachment 29244

And when I flick the lights stalk forward I get the Light with A in it showing on the AID:

Attachment 29245

Now I just need to test to see how it works...

I'm a little stuck with this, specifically the coding of module 9.

I've done the adaptions as per the above, but when I go to the long coding I'm faced with this.



VCDS (latest and greatest HEX-NET) says coding for that module is not supported.

Any thoughts on where I go from here? I have Light Assist now appearing in the car menu but when I switch it on, then try to activate it using the light stork it says there is a light Assist fault. Clearly I need to get into the coding somewhere.

Are you using VCDS or OBD-11 for your coding NZ_GolfR? I won't be impressed if my new VCDS HEX-NET device has less functionality than the OBD-11 at a quarter of the price.

Sorry to say but I'm using an OBD-11, it's great especially for what you pay for it.
Someone else mentioned that with VCDS it was showing all zeros like yours. He did the coding without changing Byte 2 and it seemed to work for him:

R-Line High Beam

I was going to try turning off the coding I did for Byte 2 on mine and see if it still works but I haven't got around to it yet. I will see if I can do it tonight and let you know.

Maybe there is some different coding in your car, I believe your car came with Adaptive Lane Guidance enabled which i don't believe anyone else has.

[IsDon]

Thanks mate. I'll try again. I suspect it's VCDS being behind what OBD-11 can do.

I'll try again following your link and see how I go.

Update....

Coding of A5 worked!

It seems the coding of module 9 wasn't necessary. Coding of module A5 was all that was needed. No more Light Assist error and the little auto light symbol is now showing on the instrument cluster.

Can't check it until it gets dark, but all looks good thus far.

Thanks NZGR....

You can always simulate darkness by putting sticker on light sensor - small "eye" on bottom part of front camera section.

That's not what I mean. The lights sense darkness ok, always did.

What I need to determine is if the light assist works by dipping the lights from high beam to low beam when they sense head/tail lights of other vehicles and return them to high beam once the other vehicles are no longer in view.

This only works out on the highway and above a certain threshold speed. 65km/h I think.

That's what light assist does, at least that what it does on my A6.

[NZ_GolfR]

Yes, all the would achieve is make the high beams switch on as soon as you reach 65kmh, it won't test it automatically dipping with oncoming traffic or when you reach lit up areas.

I wonder if it is possible to change the 3 seconds resume time when the car is in stop/go traffic using ACC.

That would definitely be an awesome mod if it's possible. 3 seconds is just a little too short I find.

Please note I have the 132 Comfortline and was looking into getting Light Assist activated:

Ok, so further to this post I experimented with the different values for Adaption - Fernlicht_assistent - Erweiterte_Frenlichtsteuerung. The default value was "Basis" and the one that seemed to allow the light assist symbol to display without any error message is "Basis:FLA". I skipped the coding of long byte 2 because as above they were all null/zeo values. Flick the stalk once and you get the light assist symbol in the corner of the rev meter. Flick it again and it deactivates light assist (symbol disappears) and main/high beam is activated as per the description in the user manual.
I took it for a test drive but couldn't find any street without any street lights that were pitch black and allowed speeds above 60kmh. Maybe someone else here can give it a go.

So far I have managed to confirm that the following features are working -
1. Sweeping gauge
2. Traffic speed sign detection
3. Disable DRL when dial on '0'.
4. Convenience lane change indicator blinks increased from 3 to 5.
5. Refuel amount data
6. Start up screen displays Golf R style splash screen.


Adaptive Lane assist was already enabled at delivery.
