Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

I used OBD11 to activate High Beam Assist on my MY19.5 162 R Line. The Headlight symbol with the A displayed on the AID, and turned from white to blue, but high beams were not being activated. Using OBD11, I deactivated, so now not getting the headlight/A symbol when I push the stalk forward, but still not getting high beam. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

I had it for a few days till I activated DLA and then it didnt matter. Have you got the lights set to auto or it wont work .

Sounds to me like you may have done something wrong in the long coding if it’s only partially working.

I can’t recall, but is HBA possible with one of the apps? Maybe give that a shot instead.

I used the obdeleven app so you would think it should work, or at least turn off at light settings.

Hi all... HBA can be activated with the app, which I used. I had the lights set to AUTO, and the stalk forward, but high beams would not activate.

I have the same problem and can't turn off at light settings.

Was it dark enough for them to come on. If you want to turn it off dont push the stalk so far forward

HBA app works but you have to code VERY CAREFULLY to get DLA to work and the method posted by Phonebooth definitely works and can be verified by the dance the lights do in a darkened garage when you turn them on

[INASNT]

It has to be really dark with no cars etc. anywhere in front for them to work..

Unlike other cars with this feature, individual led lights in each headlight cant operate to enable the high beam to work without blinding oncoming traffic, full highbeam on both lights seems to only work when active.

[Hillbilly]

The lights do it by adjusting the beam or by shutters, unlike the Audis which have matrix lights which can turn off individual spots of the Led,s to achieve a similar outcome

My advice is NOT to buy OBD11, and if you already have, chuck it in the bin. It has cost me a heap of credits to activate High Beam Assist, then deactivate, and then revert to original. Support is woeful.
