A guide to enable EU specific features for AU Spec Tiguans

[lm_jo]

Just wondering if it's possible to disable the "eco-tip" messages that appear on the active info display if you turn off the stop/start?
Does permanently turning off the stop/start function via VCDS also turn off that notification?

Another eco-tip that comes up is when driving at higher speeds with the windows down or slightly open. Is there just a way to get rid of those eco-tips all together, whilst still driving in eco mode?

You can turn it off from the car menu. I can check the exact menu flow for you when I get home.

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:



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



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

Just took it for a test run and it worked perfectly (once I managed to find a suitable bit of road). You have to be going over 60kmh and the road has to be dark for them to come on. The road I went on has a dark patch in which the high-beams switched on then when I reached a street light they automatically switched off again.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to meet any cars coming the other way while testing but since it worked for the street lights I don't see it having any issues for oncoming cars.

Just to clarify things, is this a straight switch from low to high or VV or is it the fade away where the shape of the high beam changes as a car approaches as in the Audi?

It was just a straight switch from high to low but that was when I entered street light area. Wasn't able to test with oncoming cars (am in too much of an urban area with too many street lights) so maybe different but I don't think we get the Matrix LED which is what does this in the Audi if I remember reading correctly somewhere.

I doubt it also but there has been such a lot of confusion with TJA and Lane Assist/Active Lane Guidance etc I thought it best to ask the question. I will be interested in the oncoming car test and at whether the oncoming driver is happy with when they dip when you get a chance to try it.

Hi NZ_GolfR,

This must be a Highline/R-Line only mod. The 132TSi is coded with BASIC for Erweiterte_Frenlichtsteuerung,which probably refers to the normal halogen headlights. I tried the same thing except changing Erweiterte_Frenlichtsteuerung and Light Assist will not work. Since Highline has the LED headlight assembly and is coded with AFS, Fernlicht ueber AFS this must be the reason why it did not work for me.

I think I reached the same place as peanut with regards to TJA and pedestrian assist, not having much success getting it working yet. I have compared my AU 132TSi with DAP against EU spec 132TSi with DAP and found the following differences.

Module 09 Central Electronics
No difference in coding. All bytes appear to be 0 for both cars

Module 13 Adaptive Cruise Control
Exactly the same hardware revision and part number. AU spec software revision is J instead of H for EU spec. AU spec has an additional adaptation channel for radar power reduction. There are at least 4 bytes in long coding that are different (bytes 01, 03, 04 and 06)

Module 17 Instruments
Same hardware and software for AU and EU spec cars. There are two bytes that are different (bytes 00 and 04)

Module 44 Steering Assist
AU Tiguans have rev R hardware and rev T software, EU has rev E hardware and rev M software. However, the biggest difference is that AU Tiguans only has 2 bytes in the long coding sequence whereas EU has 7 bytes.

Module 5F Information Electronics
Same hardware and software revisions between AU and EU cars. Total of 6 bytes difference (bytes 03, 09, 14, 19, 23 and 24). Note I have enabled Dynamic Road Sign Display in my car so the affected bit in byte 24 is the same between my car and the EU car.

Module A5 Front Sensor Drive Assistance
Same hardware revision, AU Tiguans have software rev G compared to rev F for EU. Total of 7 bytes being different (bytes 06, 09, 12, 14, 16, 19 and 21). Note I have enabled Dynamic Road Sign Display in my car so the affected bit in byte 16 is the same between my car and the EU car.

Has anyone managed to get TJA working? Peanut?

Thanks to NZ_Golf, it worked perfectly on my 140TDI. Dipped automatically with on coming cars. The sensor or camera must be in windscreen as it dipped well in advance for on coming cars!

We just received our new Tig.

It appears Adaptive Lane Guidance is available by default now. Just needs switching on. No coding required.
