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

[DV52]

Hi Don. I tried it with no chance. I also contacted becauto (seller) and they said there is a cable inside that makes the DRLs always on when the headlights are on. So if this connection is removes the DRLs will close only headlights will be on during drive which I will not accept. Can you suggest some coding that will keep the DRL's on when the headlights are on ? I think the seller did not know about this coding thing and the found a hardware resolution to this problem with the cable. Thanks.

Dark975: Hello again. Yes it does appear that the internal wiring in your fittings wreak havoc with normal Leuchte programming!

Problem is that there is so little information regarding how the headlight assemblies are configured by whatever the manufacturer has installed inside the units.

I'm not sure that anything that I suggest will work on your fittings - what really needs to happen is for the fittings to be removed and put on a test bench and then experimented-on!

Nevertheless, in terms of your latest request - as I understand, your DRLs currently are switched-on when the headlights are off (i.e. the rotary switch in "0" position)- is this correct?

From your post above, you also want the DRLs to be switched-on when the dipped beam is switched-on. That means that the DRLs will be switched-on whenever the ignition is turned-on regardless of the settings on the rotary switch.

If you are sure that this is what you want - then this is the way it would normally be done:

• (5)-Leuchte4TFL LB4-Lichtfunktion B 4 change from not active to Abblendlicht links
• (5)-Leuchte5 TFL RB32-Lichtfunktion B 5 change from not active to Abblendlicht rechts

A word of caution - do not confuse the two settings above with Abbiegelichts links/rechts - the two are alike, but they are entirely different functions

Again, my instructions above are entirely untested

I have to say though that my suspicion is that on your headlight assemblies, the DRLs are not operated by the BCM at all and therefore the Leuchte channels have no effect. This is why I think that you couldn't turn-off the DRLs with the Leuchte instructions that I gave you previously. Instead, I suspect that the DRLs are automatically turned-on with the ignition by the headlight fitting (not by the BCM as in a normal mk7 fitting) and the DRLs are turned-off with the Dipped beam (which is controlled by the BCM).

So I fear that my instructions above will fail - but it's worth a try, I guess

DV52, thanks for the detailed info re inner brake LEDs. Did the tweak today, all went smoothly.
Much appreciated

Any chance it's possible to stop the MFD from staying on the phone interface after taking a call?

I use the digital speedometer. If I receive a phone call the MFD switches to the phone interface (which in itself is minor annoyance). However after I hang up, it stays on the phone interface rather then reverting to the last interface that was used.

It might even be a standard setting I can configure. Only really thought about that as I typed this out. Will try tomorrow.

VCDS Coding for MIBII

Hi Guys is there any one who can do a dump of the VCDS coding for the MIBII Radio platform from VAGCOM and send to me please.

Thanks kindly

peekay: HERE you go - I suggest that you download the spreadsheet rather than view it on-line ( dropbox can't seem to manage my formatting -sorry). There's admaps from the MIBII units of 9 x different vehicles from Australia, Europe, USA and Canada in my spreadsheet. The MIBII table is starting to look as huge as the BCM - it currently has 926 x adaptation channels (and growing)

Please be careful when accessing the control module at address 5F. Unless you have the newer, faster HEX-NET cable, only use Beta version 15.7.3. Ross Tech has confirmed that the HEX+CAN cables running the current release version 15.7.2 (or older) aren't able to handle the new 24 bit structure of the MIBII (they are too slow in responding to the polling). Unfortunately these cables running this software can have the effect of altering the children channels of some of the parent adaptation channels ( I wasn't aware that there was a parent-child relationship with adaption channels in the mk7 until the MIBII). The result is that some folk have lost access to some of the MIBII screens (I understand that the functions in the lost screens still work - they just can't be accessed to change how they work)

This drives me nuts as well.

Thanks mate.... I have a HEX Can cable..... I see Ross Tech 15.7.3 is no longer beta... I assume that is safe to use?

I also wonder which one turns off Dynaudio feature .....

I also wonder which one turns off Dynaudio feature .....

peekay: I can only suggest how to disable Dynaudio feature on a MIBI (not MIBII). I don't believe that it's done via an adaptation channel since disabling Dynaudio involves tinkering with a physical bit of kit - in my very limited experience, I've found that such exercises invariably are actioned via the module's coding string (I think).

Anyhow, I believe that the pertinent Byte(s) in address 5F are Byte 4-7. Here's a screen shot from the MIBI in my car showing the overall coding for these Bytes




If you just want to use the bog standard speaker system, then probably the FF00 string will suffice - this should just disconnect (in a software sense) J525 (Digital Sound Package unit) and the sub-woofers. However, if you do disable Dynaudio, what happens to the signal source for the normal treble/base speakers (which I think are all connected to J525)? These may need to be moved back to the rear of J794 (I think)

My other concern is what the MOST will do - but I don't think that j525 is connected to the ring topology (not really sure about this)

Finally, here are some code variances for Bytes 04/05 that I have amassed from various sources in my forum travels - can't vouch for them, but they may be of interest

04/05 Sound System Channels: 00 00 - B&O channels are managed by the external amp so they are not coded on the MU-H unit: FF 0A - Channel configuration for the Audi sound system (ASS):FF 00 - Channel configuration for the standard system

BTW do you know if the Golf Australia version in the map had a camera?

Thanks

Hello, why u try disable Dynaudio?
Or what are you trying to do?
I can help u =)

zloybob: hi. On a different but related matter - have you found any access codes for address 5F. I don't have any specific need at present, but I wanted to add a number into my security code table for my reference thread
cheers

DV52, 5F only 20103

[FastDraw]

This question is mostly directed to DV52 -- and I PM'ed you just a second ago, but I thought everyone else out there may be curious too.

I have one of only a handful of 2016 Golf Rs in the USA that was sent here with the Driver's Assistance Package (parking sensors, automatic cruise control, etc.). That's all well and good, but my understanding is that the RoW, with the Driver's Assistance Package, gets parking assistance (where the car basically parks itself, you just apply the brake or gas). While the 2016 Passats in the USA have parking assistance with the Driver's Assistance Package, the Golf does not.

But I don't understand why, especially since the car's dimensions are the same, and all of the same sensors are there for it. All that is missing is the little button by the shifter to enable it. ..... So, being wise (or stupid), I bought the row of buttons with the little "P" and the picture of the steering wheel (the stock row of buttons in the USA only has the bottom button with the "P" and the "cone" for the backup sensors) and am ready to install it.

The question is --- how to dig into VCDS and actually enable park assist in my North American version -- even if I pop in that row of buttons with the added parking assistance button (I doubt it's just going to work magically by popping in the new row of buttons!).

Can it be done?
