The Official VWW VCDS Tweak Library

[v0a]

5. Disable DRL's (Daytime Running Lights)
1. Navigate to 09 - Central Electronics - Long Coding
2. For vehicles with Halogen (stock) lights go to Byte 15. For vehicles with Xenon lights, go to Byte 11.
3. For Halogens, toggle Bit 6. For Xenons, ???

Just VCDS my car

Byte 11 - Uncheck Bit 2
This turns off xenons light as DRL, all lights off when switch is set to 0



Byte 15 - Check Bit 6
This turns off xenons light as DRL, auto turns on lights when dark, switch set to AUTO

Thanks for that - post updated.

I went though the R again and the only thing we can change it seems is "Rain Closing Active" which I assume is the auto closing sunroof/windows when rain is detected.

Corey you found anything else?

[Corey_R]

Lol... I seriously haven't even plugged in my cable yet! I'll have to get to that one of these days...

[Ryan_R]

Maybe you could shoot Dana @ Ross Tech an email asking about what tweaks are available/missing on the latest model R?

Actually I need to follow that up as I sent Dana a few debug logs for the R a while back.

I am just about to plug the vcds into my R and see what i can play with just hope i can mess around with as much as i could with my gti :S

[Icarus]

Can anyone confirm if the dimming of the DRL on the R can be changed under DRL Byte 24?

[SuperHans]

you guys reckon this would do the trick?
VAG K+CAN 1.4 Commander Diagnostic Tool Cable 4 VW OBD2 (eBay item 120701799694 end time 21-Apr-11 18:51:05 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

[Corey_R]

The license to you VCDS is attached to the cable. I can't see how the use of that ebay cable would be of any use, unless you illegal use VCDS
Anyone else know what the situation is?

[dave_r]

I will say one thing regarding going with a genuine Ross Tech item, their support is fantastic. I've had so many e-mail convos with them to debug new cars (RS5) or faults (The DSG didn't like my netbook running Win7) that the extra cost is negligible.

Any members in Brisbane who have VCDS?
I am happy to buy a case of beer or a bottle of your favourite poison for some of your time.

Alternatively are there any Service centres in Brisbane that will perform VCDS changes, Does anyone know if Guy Harding offers this service?

cheers Guys.

[Corey_R]

Hey Big_Dave. Check out this thread to find members near you willing to help with VCDS.

There are a few peeps and a few companies in Brissie that have expressed interest in helping people in that thread

[Big_Dave]

Thanks Corey

[SteveK]

So any R owners played around with VCDS yet? What stuff can we change?

Dave, I've managed to "enable" the bluetooth voice control, which wasn't done with the install *cough*.

Might try some other tweaks in this thread and see how I go. That rain sensor window closing one is on my list.

Also, is there a way to force shut the sunroof when I lock the car? I keep forgetting but thankfully have an observant wife to remind me.

Cheers,
Steve
