Light Assist with Halogen Lights

[nibose]

I did manage to get HBA enabled. I now have the option available in the infotainment centre and moving the stalk makes this option available. Please take a look at the pictures. I will have to wait till evening to try this out.

Interestingly, I did get an error code when I did an autoscan - error message posted below. This seemed to disappear when I cleared the errors, took a tiny test drive and performed the autoscan again. Hope it doesnt return. Any thoughts?

09-Cent. Elect. -- Status: Malfunction 0010
FLA_01 datenbus fehlende botschaft ==>Missing Databus error

I'm sorry the save function did not work properly, hence I'm not able to post the correct error codes.

Here are the codings I'd performed:

"NOT PRESENT" value changed to "PRESENT"

"Basis" value changed to "Basis: FLA" I chose this option since my car does not have AFS


New Option: 20 - AFS_Coding_Light_Assist_High_Beam_Assist

Please let me know if I'm missing something here.

To be honest I found it wasnt all that great On the motorway with side lighting it tended to dip because of the bright lights

Now I have DLA , HBA doesnt seem to be coded in and so wont work which wont upset me as its pretty easy to flick the lever.

Ive had the car for 6 months and only driven at night once and not since i enabled DLA so dont know if its any good or not.

Well, something's better than nothing.

They are ostensibly different versions of the same thing:

• Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) is an analogue version which integrates dynamic cornering light (AFS) and dynamic main beam control (MDF) functions so that the headlight range is continuously adapted as the car approaches another vehicle/light structure
• whereas Main Beam Assist (FLA) is a digital (or more accurately described as a "binary") version in that it enforces a sudden switch between high beam and low beam.

I'm quite surprised that you have managed to enable DLA by simple coding. DLA headlight fittings generally include a group of individually moveable screens which can be swiveled into the light cone (i.e. the HID discharge envelope or the LED window) cast by the high beam lamp. The DLA function (i.e. the partial masking of certain areas of illumination as the car travels) is implemented through a combination of the screen switching and the horizontal adjustment of the lamp itself.

VW is renowned for providing only the bare essentials in their cars where physical equipment is concerned (i.e wiring looms are just sufficient - no more). It's lucky that your car was provided with DLA equipment if the function wasn't coded at the factory

The Tiguan162Rlines (at least) and the Allspace's have the same headlights. The Allspace has the Full DLA standard in the Driver assist package
The 5 seater doesnt A Poster on here Phonebooth provided the coding instructions for DLA and it works using an OBDEleven.

I did ask about it on the OBDII forum but didnt get a reply It doesnt do what the Audi matrix lights do but it does blank out parts of the area


This shows the light pattern on startup

I am glad I am not a new owner trying to follow this thread, the confusion would give him a migraine.

True because it swaps between models when it is the Golf Mk 7 forum but as the platform is the same most codings work in the different also what the models.

Also what the OP is trying to do may not be possible as most of the codings are for LED lights not Halogens
