Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[Delewin]

Hi DV52

One question. How do you obtain a full map of the CANBUS?

Is it a simple case of plugging in an ODB interface and then connecting that to your laptop? If so what software are you using to read the ODB codes?

Unfortunately my Tiguan is not expected until mid May 2017 'crying'

Regdop/Delewin: LOL - yes I agree lots of non English terms used - but I assumed that since this was a thread about VCDS, there was an understanding of VCDS terms among its readers/posters- my apology for the oversight!

So, first thing to say is that anyone who has purchased a fake VCDS cable should be ashamed of themselves for condoning and for contributing to IP theft! If you do own one of these fake cables, I'd like you to use it your new Tiggy, for no other reason than you deserve all that you get when you need to take the car back to VW to have it fixed!!

With that gripe said, I have written a badly worded paper on how to create a database of the CAN network which you can download below. The document was written specifically for a Golf mk7, but it should equally apply to the new Tiggy.

Hi Don
Thank you very much for both documents. I have had a very quick look at each and your guide is well written and easy to follow.

When I get my Tiguan I will be purchasing the Ross-Tech VCDS enthusiast wifi system including their software.

That way I have only one place to go if I have a problem.

Thanks Don, all that Tech talk is beyond my comprehension, but I have a real admiration for you guys that do it...props to you. That said when the time is right I hope I can find someone here in Brisbane to do it for me with the appropriate compensation
Cheers

Both documents?

[Delewin]

Sorry Don. Yes I also looked at the excel workbook containing all the tabs. I think I will need a English German dictionary for some of the terms that are not intuitive.

This will be the first time I will be looking at this level of technology. My current car is 14 years old.

I have a good IT and automotive background. I should be able to work it through.

I'm actually quite excited at the prospect of seeing just how much I can personalize my car's electronics.

Thank you again for this info.

Shanelord has confirmed VCDS tweak for Traffic Programming works: My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

Yep indeed. Mine was set to default of 65535 which is "off".

Changing to 1024 sets it to "SUNA On"

Traffic rolling in perfectly now (took about 15mins).

Thanks,
Shane.

Forgive my ignorance but why would such a thing be turned off in the first place? Is it a licensing issue for VW?

I'm not 100% sure. Could be licensing, or it could just be poor delivery documentation and not coded correctly or something completely different.

It works when coded to 1024 though
