Mk6 GTI VCDS ( VAG-COM ) codes

[XTC838]

I agree that VW should make the DRL dim with indicator. When I first got my car, I thought something wasn't right as they didn't dim. I subsequently found out that they don't on Australian models.

Has anyone worked out how to dim them with indicator?

they don't dim.
i've seen a few mk6 golf gti, with drls like urs - it doesn't dim with indicator.
i've seen a few new passats with drls (also in the headlight cluster) - it doesn't dim with indicator.

vw should really make 'em dim - will make it easier to see the indicator.

there must b an option to enable the 'drl dim with indicator' via vcds...somewhere.

i don't know how it will b exactly for the golf, but this is for the skoda range:

DRL dim on indicator
"Daytime Running Lights (DRL's) inactive with Turn Signals active"

1. Control Module > [09] Central Elec / Coding / Long coding helper / Byte 15 / Bit 3 = tick the box.
2. Exit
3. Do it

i believe the control modules r similar as they're both from vag.

speakin of drl dimming - i walked past a new vw transporter at the traffic lights today. it comes with drls (high beams on reduced power).
i noticed the drls easily.
but when i looked closely, i noticed the indicator was flashing too!! because the indicator sits directly above the high beam, with the DRL on, i don't notice the indicator until i looked a 2nd time!!
if the drl on the active indicator side had dimmed, then.........

I don't have a VCDS, so wouldn't be able to confirm if they are the same as Skoda's.

The Golfs indicator is next to the DRL and like the Transporter, I think it is hard for others to see the indicator with DRL at full brightness. I wonder why VW disabled dimming for our market.

Might have to catch up with someone with VCDS to check it out.

how we you enable this in the cluster? on a mk6

You won't be able to as I presume the US cars have a different cluster.

Park you car with the sun directly onto the cluster and see if you can see it un lit.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but I haven't seen the information anywhere before.

After a bit of messing around, I was able to code both buttons on the center roof console for Information (little 'i' picture) and Service/Breakdown (spanner picture) to numbers of my choosing. I now have the breakdown/service button calling VW roadside assistance and the information button calling my VW dealer.

For those interested, under the Telephone module --> Adaption in VCDS there are four items at the bottom of the drop down list. Two for each button, one being a 'roaming' version. The Service/Breakdown coding requires 7 bytes which are entered as their raw numeric values. So for VW roadside I entered 18 00 63 71 81 00 00 (note padding with 0's for the last two bytes). The Information number requires 8 bytes, again pad with 0's for the extra bytes.

No joy trying to code my Scirocco. Any one else tried this on theirs?
