Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[DV52]

Just tested my car. Didn't work regardless of whether the car was locked or unlocked.
My setting in the options menu is ticked permanently as well. Pity

veew: I've just had a look at your post containing the tweak instructions (the table looks familiar - where have I seen the table before? )

As for the rain closing tweak instructions, you are probably aware that this has been one of the more problematic tweaks to get working on previous versions of MQB vehicles. I'm not sure if the normal gremlins for this tweak have been evicted on the latest version of the Tiggy, but I note that your instructions have omitted the required change to the code-string on the RLS/RLFS/RLHS (not sure which is installed in the Tiggy). This module is a slave module to the BCM on these cars - so access is a little different to normal modules.

Here's an extract from my tweak instructions relating to the RLS/RLHS/RLFS module on "MQB" cars:

Auto RainClose - Code-string Changes to RLS/RLFS/RLHS

1. From the Installed tab on the Select Control Module screen, select 09-Cent. Elect.
2. On the Open Controller screen for address 09 - Cent. Elect., click the Coding - 07 tab
3. When the screen below opens, click on the pull-down down tab in the middle of the screen (as shown next to the red arrow). As indicated in the picture, the BCM (Body Control Module) has two "slave" modules, one of which is the RLFS
4, Select RLFS and click on the Long Coding Helper tab.

Note 1: on some vehicles, the slave module will be RLS, or RLHS

5. Select Byte 0 and place a tick in Bit 1 and Bit 2 as shown in the picture below. Exit this screen

6. When the screen below appears, ensure that the New coding box contains the Hexadecimal value 06A8DD Click the Do it! tab. Go back to the open controller screen

Note 2: some forums report "error 31" message at this point. If this error message appears, manually enter 06A8DD into the New coding box instead of using the Long Coding Helper. Then click the Do it! tab

Note 3: On some mk7 vehicles, the default coding string for the rain sensor is 01E8DD. If this is the case, the required hexadecimal value in the new coding box is 07E8DD.

Of course I can't guarantee that with these changes, Auto-rainclose will work - but I suspect that the software switches on Byte 0, Bit 1 and Bit 2 are needed even on the Tiggy!

PS: there is also an "in-car" procedure that needs to happen with this tweak as follows:

---

Auto RainClose - In-Car, setup procedures
Auto RainClose - Factory reset procedure
This tweak requires that the control unit be reset after the coding changes above have been made. This is done using the following steps:

1. Press the CAR button on the RH side of the Discover media Unit
2. Press the set-up panel on the bottom RH side of the screen
3. Select Factory Setting panel (it's the very last entry on the list)
4. On the Factory Setting screen, select Reset Mirror and Wiper Settings
5. Press the Reset panel
   

Auto RainClose -Menu enabling procedure
For Auto RainClose to work, the function must first be enabled in the Discover media screen. This is done using the following steps:

1. Press the CAR button on the RH side of the Discover media Unit
2. Press the set-up panel on the bottom RH side of the screen
3. Press the Opening and Closing panel
4. Place a tick in the Automatic closing in rain panel as shown in the picture below.
5. Make sure that the settings for all other options (especially in Opening and closing) are appropriate and that they have not been changed by the factory reset process above (e.g. check that Convenience opening option isn't set to "off")
6. Exit the screen

Auto RainClose - Test and operating procedure

1. Make sure that the wiper stalk is in the rain sensing position (i.e. up one position) and that the headlights are switched to the Auto position
2. Wind down one, or more windows, and/or sunroof
3. exit and lock the vehicle using the remote fob or KESSY
4. Wait a minute, or two and pour water on the rain sensor, or tap the rain sensor with your fingers.
5. The open window(s)/sunroof should close

Note 5: a further feature of this tweak is that if the window(s)/sunroof is left open for an extended time (generally overnight) without rain, or intervention, the open aperture(s) will be automatically shut.

Came across these new tweaks on AutoInstruct website:


Haldex All-Wheel-Drive Adjust Traction
Reports indicate that changing this setting to ‘Increased Traction’ improves the handling and makes the car feel like a permanent AWD system.
Select AWD Control Unit
Adaptation
Logic
Choose from ‘Standard, Increased Traction, Less Noise’


Closing Windows When Ignition Off
Allows you to operate all windows after the ignition has been switched off and doors opened.
Select Control unit 09 (Central Electrics)
Security access
Access Code 31347
Adaptation
(13) – Zugangskontrolle 2 released trailing FH cancel at Tueroeffnen
Value = Aktif

My friend currently has my OBD2 and tablet so won't get a chance to try it anytime soon.

Tried to apply the window operation when ignition off tweak on my Tiguan but I cannot find this Adaptation in Control unit 09.

It shouldn't effect the BT. What phone do you have? Might be the phone or firmware version? Have you tried hard resetting the phone?

It's an OPPO R7Plus running Android 5.1.1. I don't recall this happening before I start playing with programming. Tested iPhone and no issue. So I'm suspecting its the software.

Hi guys,

Thought I'd start a thread on any VCDS tweaks people have had success with. I assume most of the ones that work for the Mk7 Golf would also work but will be great to know which ones actually do work! Any screenshots, pictures, videos associated with the tweaks would be great! I'll let you guys know which ones work when I get my car and get around to borrowing/buying a cable!

These are the ones I'm keen to do on my Tiguan when it arrives:
1) Deactivation of auto stop/start
2) Memory retention of seat heater setting
3) Deactivation of seat belt reminder
4) Activation of Volkswagen Traffic Message Channel
5) Driving school mode
6) Air-conditioning recirculation memory setting

Is there a tweak so that the 360 degree parking camera can be used while at speed? As they turn off after 25km/h.

The maximum speed allowed is 20km/h. I have tried setting it higher but it refuses to code.
