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

[DV52]

genebaby What changes can be done to the DRLs/Indicators on a mk7.5 with LED headlight fittings? Not much - I suspect!

Almost certainly, your can will have Light Control Modules (LCMs) @ address hex29 and hex39 - and the car probably has a further 2 x LCMs @ address hexD6 and hexD7.

This means that the traditional approach where the BCM (@ hex09) is used to control the headlight fittings doesn't happen on your car - instead the LCMs take-over these functions and LCM channel maps that Ive seen have no adaptation channels and no long-code strings, So not much can be changed, alas!

Incidentally, even if your MY20 GTI did use the BCM to control the headlight fitting lamps - I suspect that you still couldn't achieve the dynamic turn-signal effect in the video; this lighting effect normally uses LED chaser circuits that are fitted inside the headlight assemblies. I doubt that your OEM fittings have this additional electronic equipment.

Thanks Don. In the first few days of ownership I thought I remembered seeing my blinkers in a shop window and thought that both DRL's went into orange blinking mode, but I must have gotten it wrong as only one does, while one stays in DRL mode, so perhaps both cannot do this because only one DRL has the ability to turn orange?

I wasn't thinking of the need for a chaser (though that would be ideal), more of a timed blink, like the Pace Car mod for the rears before the Dynamic lights came out, or even afterwards if you didn't want to buy a Dynamic set, ha ha.

But if the controls aren't there, and the DRL cannot do the colour change then it's a moot point and we will move on.

I won't be buying aftermarket lights to achieve this, I'll be happy with the Dynamic indicators at the rear and side of the vehicle.

Don,

Can you please share how to use brake lights for coming/leaving home in MK7.5 with dynamic turn signals?

Don,

I assume that Poland uses RoW version mk7.5's, but to be certain - post-up a copy of the current settings for Leuchte20BR LA71 (by which I mean 19 x channels) - please

How to do that the easiest way in OBD11? Backup?

[DV52]

^^^^^yes, that will do - but cut-and-paste just the one Leuchte-set, rather than the whole back-up file. The other way is with pictures from your mobile phone -it takes 2 x pictures to include the full 19 x channels.

^^^komoornik: Try this -

for Leuchte20BR LA71 and Leuchte21BR RC8, change:

Lichtfunktion C > Coming Home oder Leaving Home aktiv
Dimmwert CD > 127

Working, thanks!

If only there would be a way to enable to cornering lights from the main lamps - that would be a nice christmas tree!

[Laurierayr]

Um ... even the people who sell and manufacturer the OBD11 do not charge people... interesting.

What do you mean by that

komoornik: Well done with the CH/LH lights!!

That's an interesting auxiliary comment - please explain! What type of cornering lights are currently fitted to the main lamps?

Friend, I bought a Gti 2017 and I also have the vcds but I am not able to activate the flashlights on the trunk lid ... the configuration is not active as you put it, even putting it as the original described by you still does not work .. could you tell me if I need to activate something else? Thanks in advance!!!

^ ^^^ @rafaelsgon: Hi.

I appreciate how difficult it must be for folk that don't have English as their first language to post on this forum - but a series of questions follow:

1. When you refer to "you" - is it me?
2. What do you mean by "flashlights on the trunk"?
3. What type of tail lights are installed on the car?
4. What changes have you made to the Leuchte-sets?
