VCDS (VAG-COM) codes and programmable options for Golf Mk7

[ole passat]

Hi
stupid question
Have a passat B6 PASSAT VARIANT (3C5) 2006
Win nr WVWZZZ3CZ6E160421


No. 44 is the same security code as Golf
Has J500 with Item 1K1 909 144K
Have found the ross-tech forum that it should be 40168 for and do the basics setting, but is it right?

hmm...... I suspect that when you say "No. 44 is the same security code as Golf" you really don't mean a Golf mk7 - because these are built on a MQB platform and according to the web, the B6 is built on a variant of the PQ46 platform.

In any event the security code for the hex44 module (Steering assist) on a Golf mk7 is 19249, 28183 and 44595.

I suggest that you ask your question over on the mk5 forum.

VCDS: How to "Auto-Restore" your adaptation channels to factory settings

It's a not uncommon request on forums - "How do I get the adaptation channel values in my control module back to factory setting?"

Alas, the answer was NO - it can't be done! Instead users have had to first find the "before-change" channel settings from the history file in the device and then separately restore these values manually one-by-one.

Enter Ross-Tech and their latest HEX series product - now it's easy IF THE USER MAKES A DATABASE - BEFORE MAKING CHANGES and this is how it's done:

Note: a modern HEX-NET or HEX-V2 interface is required - this procedure will NOT work with older HEX+CAN, or Micro CAN cables.

FIRST - CREATE A DATABASE OF THE CAR'S "VIRGIN" CHANNEL SETTINGS.

Not surprisingly, the restore procedure needs a reference source of factory settings for each separate vehicle because adaptation channel values vary with individual cars (due in the main to the options fitted).
To make this database:

1. From the first VCDS screen, select Applications
2. From the Applications screen, select Controller Channel Map
3. The "Maps" dialogue box appears as shown
   
4. In the dialogue box - change the settings by entering the relevant details and selecting Adaptations in "Functions" and Raw HEX in "Output". Note: consider using "Whole Vehicle (CAN Only)" - for cars that use CAN-Bus diagnostics
   
5. Press the Go button and wait for the procedure to finish.
6. repeat the process for every control module in the car. Note: modern MQB vehicles can have upward of 6,000 adaptation channels -so the process can take quite a while. Therefore, either use a battery charger or let the engine idle).

When this procedure completes, VCDS will put a series of new files in the directory C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Logs. These files will have the format:

• apdhex-hex address-module part number_VIN-date(yyyymmdd)-time (hhmm).CSV

SECOND - RESTORE ADAPTATION CHANNEL SETTINGS

1. From the first VCDS screen, select Applications
2. From the Applications screen, select Controller Channel Map
3. In the dialogue box - change the settings by entering the module address and make sure that you enter the module security access code. Select Restore Adaptations in "Functions":
   
4. Press "Go"
5. As prompted by VCDS software- navigate and select the correct file in C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Logs sub-directory. For the settings in the screenshot above, my file was adphex-42-5Q4-959-593-B_WVWZZZAUZEW015673-20190714-1443.CSV
6. Select "Yes" at the following screen:
   
7. the procedure completes successfully with the last screen below (view the log report if so inspired!):
   

That's it - the adaptation channels in the module are reset to the original factory values!!

Thanks Don brilliant post!

I'll just add, that if all else fails and someone is desperate because they have messed up beyond recovery, there is hope.

You can go to your dealer and they will be able to use SVM (software version management) to restore a module's coding to the original factory values pulled from VW Orbital HQ. Usually.....

It's not free and expect to pay for an hour of workshop time.

Anyone on here own a manual 7.5 Original GTI?
Hoping someone can do an autoscan on their car or may have a saved copy.
Converted mine to manual and want to compare some long coding.

Assuming that you use the release version of VCDS software (not the Beta, or Test versions) - have you tried looking in the directory Ross-Tech\VCDS\Scans on the laptop that you use with the diagnostic cable? That's where old auto-scan reports that you have made in the past are stored

And if that fails, try looking in Ross-Tech\VCDS\logs - there's a bunch of stuff in this directory about your past activity with the cable. Perhaps one of these files - like an adaptation channel map, or a Log.txt file - has what you seek

And if that fails, try opening Codinglog.CSV in the directory Ross-Tech\VCDS\debug with a higher order application like MS Excel. This file contains a complete database of all the Byte/Bit changes that you have made with your cable to the hex02 module (using that laptop). The records contain the "before" values - so this might be of interest in respect of original module code-strings on your mk7.5?

Don
PS: and if you have in the past, or you currently do use the Beta, or the Test version VCDS software - the appropriate directories for the locations above are Ross-Tech\VCDS-Beta\*, or Ross-Tech\VCDS-Test\*.

Hi Don
Thanks for your reply, I have an autoscan for my car so thats no problem.
What I'm actually after is for someone on here to Autoscan their Manual Original Edition GTI so that I can then compare some of their
long coding to my long coding (from when mine was still DSG) to hopefully solve the last of my error codes.

I was hoping someone would know if it is possible for the parking lights to remain full brightness when the fog lights are activated. Specifically on a 2019 mk7.5.

Thank you!

Hello Don,
I am new here and have a question for you already. After coding, via OBD Eleven, my Brakelights ( all 5 lit ) as well as my Signallights ( sequential flashing ), I noticed, standing beside the vehicle, there is a very small " window " in the outside taillight that flashes on the opposite side from the active turnsignal. Is there a cure for this ?
Thank you

Manny: Hi and thanks for the PM.

It's been a long time since I was last asked this question and I'm having problems finding the solution in my notes. But you could try the following:

In the Cent. Elect. module (BCM) @ address hex09 - enter the magic number 31347 as a security code, then go to adaptations-10.
Assuming your mk7 is built after MY16, search for Aussenlicht_Heck. Select ENG141648-ENG115831-Aussenlicht_Heck-Schlusslicht mit Bremslichtfunktion and change to active

If this doesn't work -try this:

Assuming your mk7 is built after MY16, search for Aussenlicht_Heck. Select ENG141648-ENG141987-Aussenlicht_Heck-Bremslicht_ist_auch_Blinklicht and change to yes

Hi Don,
Thank you for getting back to me with your suggestions. However, I tried the first option, which is an available option, but it does not work.
The small LED ? in the little sidewindow keeps flashing left when I engage the right-turn signal and viceversa on the other side.
Maybe I will just have to live with it ....EH ?
Thank you
Manny

How and where to register mine Alpine X901D-G7 navigator ?

Hello.

I have change in my car the Radio Composite Colour (which was without navigator) with the Apline X901D-G7 navigator.
Alpine has full CANBUS ability and works very fine with the steering controls and the MFD. I Think some Car setup menus are missing.

Where / how to tell to the canbus(?) there is a alpine navigator installed?
If i go to 37 Navigation, i got a error(maybe because there was only a radio before installed and no navigator)

Point 37- Navigation, does not appears automatically (only if i select this, in the Gateway List)

[DV52]

^^^^ marsias: not sure what's happening with your car - your first picture doesn't show that the MIB is registered in the CAN Gateway module - you don't mention what type of vehicle this is - the second picture suggests that you either have a pirated cable, or if it's genuine, its out of date - and in any event, SATNAV facilities on OEM MIB units for MQB platform vehicles don't usually have a separately registered control module @ address hex37.

So -it's all a tad strange! Perhaps you should post-up a COMPLETE (meaning totally unedited) copy of an auto-scan for the vehicle. AND also some information about the car itself.

Don

[kamold]

After market units don't need to be registered in canbus gateway installation list.
They just respond to can messages on the bus.

Kamold.
Thanks that is enough for me.

My Car is a 1.4 GOLF VII Facelift TGI (2018 ) model.

Your guide: "Leuchte" programming - how external lights are controlled on MQB platform vehicles (Golf Mk7)

is very good, but does not apply to the lights of my car(which has Full REAR LEDs and Halogen in the front, except the DRLs which are LED)

I cant find so far, vcds tweaks for this particular lights.

Exist another guide for the lights of my car?
