Did you try doing the following?
Attachment 42844

Hi veew,

I did but I wasn't sure how to do basic setting before.

Anyhow, I've finally worked it out and I'm happy to report that I have successfully coded and tested it. It works beautifully and it is pretty obvious when you see it in action. I got so excited I turn my car around to test it again.

Here is what I did. Follow below link, page1 and half of page2
Activate Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) - from MY 2017 - AS.Coding

After the first 4B coding (top half of page 2), you should get an error (lights pointing to the ground). Do as the document says to perform basic setting and the error will go away and the light will readjust and go back to normal. Now clear the error on 4B.

We are nearly there but not quite. Now check the car Menu, lights and make sure Dynamic light assist is tick and push the light stalk forward. You should see the light with an A inside on the AID (exactly the same as light assist) but you should get another error at the same time. If you don't then you may be set to rock n roll.

So if you do get the error like me, refer to the bottom half of page 2. My advice is don't do all the 4 codings in one go, do one at a time. After each one, perform basic settings and clear error. You may not need them all. For my car, I only needed to do the second line and the error goes away and it works.

I hope this is helpful and good luck.

Hi bushpig667 just to let you know the DLA works a treat! Tried them tonight and boy do they work well! Thanks again bushpig667 for your help on this. Greatly appreciated. Owe you one!

Steve, referring to post 213 which headlights has your car got and what year model is it.

Good work and thanks! Are you able to provide a video demonstrating it working?

Here you go. Not a very good video but you can see that it's masking the bright road signs, on coming cars on the right and it also created a U shape when there are cars in front of me.


I did not get any beep from on coming cars so I guess it's working well.

Excellent work and thanks heaps for this!! Just boggles my mind why VW have this turned off in Australia when the cars here have all the hardware.

A bit annoyed after jumping in the car this morning to do a little coding.

It seems that my Tiggy isn't supported by the HEX+CAN cable.

So now to choose between another Ross-Tech product or an OBD11.

Does this work on a mk2 tiguan?

Tried this today. Was not expecting it to work given the change is in the steering assist module but it actually makes a noticeable difference to throttle response.

I actually coded via a carista app but checked in obdeleven and carista just changes the same setting.

Highly recommended.

Would you be able to describe in more detail what changes it makes to throttle response? Just so I can describe the relevant changes in the original post with link.

Also for those not sure what Psych101 is referring to: Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

Sensitivity of throttle increased and reduced delay between accelerator pedal input and engine response

Do you need or does this work in combination with the steps to activate high beam assist?
