A guide to enable EU specific features for AU Spec Tiguans

[peanut]

Hi all, thought I would like to share some of my findings with you all regarding the possibilities of enabling EU features on our Aussie Tiguans. This is a thread dedicated to enabling EU specific features.

Info below is catered to MY17 Tiguans, as adaptations and coding have changed between model years.

WARNING/DISCLAIMER: Coding can be very dangerous and if done incorrectly, it can cause damage to your vehicle and void your warranty. If you are worried about that prospect, either don't code or get someone that is experienced to code it for you. Always backup before making changes. I cannot be held accountable for any damage incurred.

I just realized that I made all changes (naughty) in one go, so I will have dig my history to see which changes I made. Videos demonstrating features should be up fairly soon.

Please take a look at this thread regularly for updates.

Adaptive Lane Guidance
Can be enabled via VCDS or OBDEleven. Works the same as shown in Youtube videos. I have tried this with my Tiguan.



Emergency Assist/Traffic Jam Assist
A high possibility that it will work, given that Adaptive Lane Guidance can be/is enabled. Can be enabled via VCDS or OBDEleven.

UPDATE: It can be enabled via VCDS or OBDEleven. However, Module 44 - Steering Assist Module, varies between vehicles that are spec'd with Traffic Jam Assist/ Emergency Assist, and those that doesn't.

Tiguans that are "spec'd" for TJA and Emergency Assist have 7 bytes in Module 44.
Tiguans that are not "spec'd" for TJA and Emergency Assist only have 2 bytes in Module 44.

I still need more scans from other people, especially those that have TJA, to confirm my findings.

DANGER! REQUIRES EXTENSIVE BYTE BY BYTE, BIT BY BIT INDIVIDUALIZED CODING!
Long Coding required for Modules 09, 13, 17, 44, 5F, A5

Currently experimenting with coding ATM.

Pedestrian Assist
I don't think this is possible, due to the use of a different ACC sensor. (We don't have Continential ACC Sensors in Australian Spec Tiguans). Rejects coding in A5 module.

UPDATE: It may be possible, as we use the same Continental ACC Sensors as EU Spec Tiguans.

By enabling the Pedestrian Assist in Module 13, we may be able to allow A5 to accept coding as well. It might either the CAN Gateway or the differing software versions that is rejecting the coding in Module A5.

TMC Traffic
Can be enabled via VCDS or OBDEleven. Works perfectly. I have tried this with my Tiguan.

Coding:

Information Control Unit
Fee-based traffic information (TMC)
Change value from 65535 to 1024

Ensure that Traffic and RDS is enabled in radio.



Dynamic Road Sign Display
Limited functionality. The "Dynamic" portion of the road sign display does not work, as it cannot fusion the data provided by the GPS. Road Sign Recognition works however, and signs detected by the camera shows up in the left corner of the Discover Head Unit and also the MFD/AID. If you enable this, the speed limit shown on the navigation disappears.

I have tried this with my Tiguan. Most of the time it detects speed signs, but it can still have trouble detecting "School Zone" speed signs. It only shows the limit if it sees a speed sign. Depending on your preference, you may not like to enable this option,

Coding:

1. Module 5F 
             Adaptations
                            Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2 traffic_sign_recognition_0x21 
                                      Set to Active
                            Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2-menu menu_display_road_sign_identification 
                                      Set to Enabled

Then go to Coding
        Long Coding
                     Byte 24, activate Bit 6
 
2. Module A5

Then go to Coding
        Long Coding
                    Byte 16, activate Bit 4 
 
3. Module 17

Then go to Coding
       Long Coding
                    Byte 5, activate Bit 2

Then you need to disable Road Sign Fusion. 

4. Module A5
              Adaptation
                        Road sign detection fusion mode
                        Change from Road sign fusion to Road sign detection

If you have HUD in your Tiguan, the following coding will enable speed signs to be shown on it (For NZ and other countries)

Module 82
Coding
Long Coding

Byte 0, Activate Bit 0.

Reboot the infotainment system.

After coding, Dynamic Road Sign limited functionality error will appear every time the car starts, but otherwise does not affect the function of the car.



Light Assist
Can be enabled via VCDS or OBDEleven. Works perfectly. I have tried this with my Tiguan.



Dynamic Light Assist
I don't think this is possible with AU Spec Tiguans. We use a different LED headlight that does not have shutters.

Proactive Occupant Protection
Can be enabled via VCDS or OBDEleven. I have not had the chance to try it yet.

Flashing Brake Lights
Can be enabled via VCDS or OBDEleven. Emits flashing brake lights in scenarios where "hard braking" is detected. In theory it should work. but not sure as I have not tried it.

Please add some of your findings to this thread as well. I have found some of the information online, adapted it, and then re-tested it with the Tiguan, others I have discovered it myself by comparing coding. I am happy to give due credit. Please PM me if that is the case.
