Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[Moveingfaster]

something I found which may or may not work:

Activate Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) - from MY 2017 - AS.Coding

Anybody going to try this? I can’t seam to get it to work on my 18. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

DLA does not work on the Tiguan SEL Premium (NA) as the headlights do not have DLA shutter.

This is the headlights I have in my vehicle. According to what I’ve read there are only 3 types of headlights in the MK2 Tiguan. Also the “mid” headlights say they are capable of dynamic light assist.

I think it should work

I’ve just ordered an OBD11 which should arrive around the same time as my Tiguan Wolfsburg gets deleivered. Hopefully I can code DLA on these?

The ability is there with obdeleven, but having it work as intended is ‘fun’

I can confirm the settings above do work to activate DLA. I Just tested it on my MY18 R-Line (NZ spec) and the shuttering is very noticeable and effective.
Getting it to work took a few attempts but was generally in line with the posted instructions.

So this will throw high beam light either side of the car in front but not on them?
For both travelling behind and also oncoming traffic?

There is a lot of confusion between light assist (automatically lowers high beam lights) and dynamic light assist where it uses shutters (and other trickery) to not dazzle the car in front, so just wanted to make sure Im talking about the correct one you've activated?

Great news that you have it working!

What did you have to do different/as well as- compared to the provided instructions?

Cheers.

Yes, this is for DLA (Dynamic Light Assist) so using shutters to form the light around oncoming / following vehicles. I was impressed with how effective it was.
I had also previously activated HBA (High Beam Assist) so am 100% we are talking about the same thing.

I followed the instructions to the end and ran basic settings. On starting the car and turning on the high beam I would still get a DLA fault which I couldn’t clear.
At the end of page 2 of the coding instructions there is some additional coding for if you continue to get a fault. I entered all of this coding and it cleared the DLA fault but created a new one with turning lights which I also could not clear.
For my car, activating Byte 11, Bit 2 was causing this issue. Once I deactivated this I could clear the faults and the system worked.

Hope that helps.
