MK 7.5 Golf Traffic enablement

[dec76]

Hello All,

Havent been able to get the traffic to enable(show) on my new MY18 7.5 Highline. The coding is accepted and the channel is set to 1024 as needed, but isnt working.

Has anyone been able to get this working on a late build model? Mine is Built 10/17
Both RDS and TP program are enabled and showing on the top of the screen, radio has been left to sit for time also.

Have enabled traffic in many MQB based cars including 7/17 built 7.5 Golf also.

Only thing that isnt coded and is annoying!!!1 Please let me know

Thanks

Heath

Are you doing his through OBDeleven?

I want to do the same thing but the codes I have looked at haven’t worked for me either

^^^^Andrew: just as a suggestion, after you have entered 1024, make sure that you have the highlighted software switches set as per the picture below.



Then do a complete reset of the MIB unit- with the radio switched-on, press and keep holding-down the ON/OFF knob until the MIB turns off, then turns on again. Then press the TRAFFIC button

I can confirm the above setting does activate Traffic Information

Which coding did you actually use to get it done through OBD Eleven.

[DV52]

^^^^ here's the VCDS screen equivalent (using the "yellow" long coding helper screen from the latest SW version)



So, set Byte 13, Bit0 & Bit3

DV52,
Has anyone been able to Hack a mk7.5 Trend line without Nav/traffic to have it?
Cheers

HRSS230: Hi - very good question!! I never say that anything is never possible - But I suspect that it would be quite a task to get TMC displayed on a MIB that doesn't have SATNAV.

The raw data for TMC is carried on FM radio on the RDS sub carrier. Within a Golf mk7 (or mk7.5), this signal is intercepted by the GPS function in the MIB to inform the map/message table where traffic jams, congestion, roadworks, accidents and other routing challenges may be present. That's why it's important to ensure that the RDS software switches on the module @ address hex5F is set for RDS.

The protocol that is used for TMC is strictly controlled (by ISO 14819) and it can be encrypted - I'm not sure whether it is in Australia.

The most important aspect of a possible "hack" is that the TMC message merely sends data-packets containing “bit-mapped” information including an event description identifier, the location identifier, location/extent/direction, duration etc. Critically though, a lot of the data including the actual location co-ordinates for the traffic ciongestion are not sent via the FM sub-carrierr. Instead, there are "smarts" within the SATNAV receiver that will contain the necessary algorithms or look-up tables to translate the codes back into readable screen information. To further complicate matters, TMC can also utilize encryption which makes "hacking" even more problematic.

So, never say never, but I suspect that you would have better odds winning Tatslotto - without buying a ticket!!

As always Don, Thanks for passing the knowledge to the forum!

I also should of said, can you enable 'SatNav' on a 'non SatNav unit'.

I jumped the gun abit asking for Traffic lol.

Hi Rossim,

What biuld is yours as mine is MY18 Built 10/17.

I have followed the above but either OBD11 and VCDS will not allow me to code the BYTE 13 RDS NOT DEACTIVATED. Mine is deactivated, but RDS TEXT PLus is activated!!

Anyone with any ideas??

Mine was built 06/17 my OBD11 allowed me to edit BYTE 13 RDS and Radio_Text_Plus did you set 1024 first also is RDS on in your MDF setup?

Hi Rossim,

I have followed all the ways to do it!! RDS enabled and TP enabled in Discover H/U. OBD11 wont change the BYTE 13 RDS and Radio_text_plus saying not allowed!!!

have done quite a few of these MQB cars and this has me stumper!!

Are you in Brisbane? if so maybe we can catch up and compare notes

Thanks in advance

Heath I'm on the Suncoast might be easier to find someone in Brisbane also a VCDS may be an option, my car is a Golf R Wolfsburg there may be a difference with the Skoda unit.

Did today on a Co-workers Golf 1.4T Mk7.5 via OBDeleven

Set Fee based Traffic to: 1024
byte_13_RDS to Not_Deactivated ( ie Activated)
byte_13_Radio_Text_Plus was already 'Activated'

Backed out of Coding to home screen, Press and hold power till it turns back on. Select Traffic after the reset, worked in like 30sec.

Thanks!
