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

[HPRS230]

So.. Had a play with VCDS,
I obviously could not found 'Expanded electronic differential lock' as it is VAQ.
I did find after looking at all the ABS-Brakes channel: MAS00194-tbd


Set to strong (was Standard). Different Car now!
What problems may come from having this set to Strong long term?
Anyone know what the Golf PP are set to? or the SEAT's in Europe?

I swapped the standard tail lights on my GTI for a set of after market leds. I'm finding the tail lights (as in red lights on with headlights) too bright making it difficult to notice the brake lights as their isn't much difference in brightness. Anyone know what I need to change with VCDS to reduce tail light brightness?

Jimmyhamesred: OK -to paraphrase of your question, you want to further-dim the rear tail-lights when the Parking light function operates so as to accentuate the brake lights - and your car has standard "Leuchte" settings for incandescent tails notwithstanding that you have installed LED fittings?

If I have understood your situation correctly then here are the relevant Leuchte-channels and the changes that you might consider making:

Left outer tail lamp (brake light)

• ENG116956-ENG116261-Leuchte20BR LA71-Dimmwert CD 20 current value 28 - change to lower nu8mber

Left inner tail lamp

• ENG116959-ENG116314-Leuchte23SL HLC10-Dimmwert AB 23 current value 28 -change to lower number

Right outer tail lamp (brake light)

• ENG116957-ENG116280-Leuchte21BR RC8-Dimmwert CD 21, current value 28 -change to lower number

Right inner tail lamp

• ENG116960-ENG116333-Leuchte24SL HRA65-Dimmwert AB 24, current value 28 -change to lower number

Of course you will need to enter the magic number 31347 as the security access code before attempting to make thiese changes

Don

PS: A consequence of making these changes will be that the Single-Sided-Parking-Light facility will also dim to the number that you have selected (the two outer tail lights perform SSPL). If this is a problem, please advise and I will work-out a further set of changes that decouples SSPL from the normal parking light activity

Is it possible with VCDS to make the car (2014 MK7) close all the windows with the same door closing click on the remote or keyless? I know its possible if you hold that button but I want just one click.

Also, is it possible to monitor tire pressure since it has some kind of sensor which tells you when there's a pressure drop in any of the tires?

Thanks

I can see there in first image "Display ambient temperature"

Is it possible to turn that on? How?

Where does it shows, in the central painel or in that small digital panel behind the wheel between speed/rpm?

Gaucho: Hi
To turn-on "Display ambient temperature" place a tick in the Bit 3 box. When you do this the descriptor "Display 'Ambient temperature'" turns blue in color and a "1" appears in the Binary box in the position that I have shown with an arrow (see picture below) The hexadecimal value of Byte 10 will also increase by 8.

When the facility is activated, the temperate is shown in the part that I have circled in the picture below (i.e. 20.0 C)

The tyre pressure warning is done via the abs sensor and looks for differential in wheel speed and does not contain in wheel tpms sensors.

Awesome thanks! Captured my issue exactly! I don't use single sided park light (not even sure what or why you would?) so that will work fine. What percentage are stock R leds on? I read 20 somewhere I recall...

Jim: The Aussie Golf R that I have in my database has the Dimmwert level for the parking lights on the tail fittings set to a factory value of 10. But LEDs are like humans - not all are created equal! It really depends on the type of LED, its manufacture, the value of the ballast resistor and the fitting reflector.

Awesome. Thanks! Will give that a go. Merry Christmas!

thnk you! my car came from factory with that temperature displayed there... I thought it was the outside temperature because it's always the same as in the central console.. is that wrong?

I'm not sure how others feel, but I've always found it strange that the mkVII Golf designers have chosen to turn-off the fan speed indicator on climate control when "auto" mode is selected (this doesn't happen in manual mode). Yes, I can hear you thinking "it's not a big thing" and you're right, but a major aspect of climate control that I sense when driving (besides the obvious change in temperature), is the sound of the fan as it changes speed from time-to-time. This often leads me to think- what's the fan doing?

Anyway, to satiate my constant curiosity, I reinstated the fan speed indicator using the following simple tweak (which I found by sheer accident whilst browsing through the "auto hvac" module). I can vouch that it works.

Restore fan speed indicator in "Auto" mode

(1) Select 08-auto HVAC

(2) Select 07-Long Coding

[ATTACH=CONFIG]10557[/ATTACH]

(3) Go to Byte 11

(4) Enable bit 6 (shown in screen above). Exit the screen

[ATTACH=CONFIG]10558[/ATTACH]

(5) If all goes well, you should get the screen above with the value of byte 11 changing to hex 40 (i.e. hex40=binary 0010 0000).

Note down the "Current Coding" value and the "New Coding" value as a record of the change (or take a screen-shot)

Press Do It! and exit the VCDS software

[ATTACH=CONFIG]10559[/ATTACH]

(6) Switch climate control to "auto" mode, wait a bit for the fan to start-up and you should get-back the fan speed indicator (as per pic above-my appolgy for the dusty camera lense)

can anyone confirm me if I can do that with 12.12 vcds vag com?

could anyone confirm if I can do all the above with 12.12 vcds vag com? thanks!

^^^ Gaucho: That's a very disappointing question since it strongly suggests that you are using a fake cable!

So - the only correct answer has to be to either update the software to Ross-Tech's latest version (which is ver16.8.4) - if you are using a genuine RT cable. Otherwise - throw the fake cable into the rubbish bin (because that's where it belongs) and stop supporting the trade of Intellectual-Property theft! Buyers of fake cables are as complicit as are sellers in this fraud!

what do you mean, the cable is original, but I've bought it like 2 years ago.
