Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[Ozsko]

I would assume we get the same stock in NZ as you guys get but reading on here I have noted that we get some features that you didn’t get across the ditch (TJA etc). The R-line spec over here came with pretty much all options other than sunroof as standard.
The lights on mine are the same as those shown in post 613 above which state they have DLA capability.

They do and I don't know if things have changed but Oz never got them unless things have changed recently. The lights you have must have a much brighter high beam as well. I wonder if I can find a wrecked R Line in NZ...Do you know of any specific VW wreckers over there?

Are you sure that Comfortlines have dla enabled?

I have a allspace, which generally seem to be specced the same, or even a smidge better than ‘normal’ tiguans and the Comfortline I drove didn’t have dla(was a 2018 though)

Seems weird how you’ve described it.

If you do have the mid lights though, it seems you can enable the feature(if you have DAP hardware) as the missing pieces are the shutter headlights and the camera that is apparently different.

I’m certain bud. I took a photo of the spec sheet. Once I figure out how to post a pic lol I will happily share.

I checked the technical specs of the Wolfie vs Allspace.

Wolfie does NOT have the DLA as even an optional line item. Its not mentioned in the spec sheet at all.
Allspace - Optional for Comfortline, Standard for Highline

It seems so bizarre to me, that even the highest end Tiguan would not have DLA as an standard let alone option to add.

Looks like for the Tiguan Highline/R-line/Wolfies owners - it will have to be via coding (if its even physically possible)...Would love to know if this is a path owners can take.

I agree. It’s ridiculous to have a top spec vehicle in your line but not have a feature that models further down the range do. After a few phone calls with a friend who is a dealer we got a tech that knew what we were talking about. He said to “put your lights on high beam and if an actuation light didn’t come up on the virtual dash it wasn’t installed or enabled”. My car is a Sept 18 build MY19 Wolfsburg.

Even that is incorrect advice. Sigh, dealers. It must be HQ giving them dud advice/training.

The only tell-tale is the ‘a’ inside the high beam icon. Even that can mean normal high beam assist(on/off auto mode) rather than dynamic assist.

Source- have allspace highline with factory fitted/enabled DLA.

Edit- just downloaded the Australian Tiguan, Wolfy Tiguan and allspace brochures.

Only allspace mentions dynamic light assist. Standard for highline and part of an option pack for Comfortline. It’s the 2nd line under ‘lighting’ heading on page 2 of the full specs.

This line is missing from both the SWB Tiguan brochures.

Thanks Simon, I think that’s what the tech actually said on the phone regarding the icon, it appears inside the high beam blue but obviously got lost in the translation. As you say, even that info is incorrect.

The swb wolfy has the same lights as the Comfortline and highline versions. It’s brochure is just messed up. You have to go down to bottom of page4 of the brochure to get the full headlight specs.

All swb models have dynamic cornering lights, And the passive ones. This to me says that with the driver assist pack, you should be able to code in DLA. As having the passive cornering lamps is the one piece missing from the normal leds vs ‘mid’ leds.

I admit that I’m not 100% sure on this though. I’d need to see a DAP optioned allspace Comfortline next to one that isn’t now optioned.

Confirmed as correct. See petec’s post on page 60.

Makes sense, will have to look into it. Thanks for the info 👍

My Wolfsburg will arrive at similar times too. Very interested to see how you go with this

My boat is still anchored off the coast of South Africa, so I don’t reckon I’ll see it until March. Hoping that’s not the case!

[Simonr23]

Is it possible to re-activate the sunroof ambient lights via vcds/obdeleven?

My dealer is struggling. They’ve done the recall work(fuses) and when they did what they thought would reenable them(shouldn’t have ever been disabled according to their system...) nothing.

Cheers for any help.

I've tried this and keep getting error messages as well. I'm going to have another play around shortly. I'm taking about the DRL.
