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

[Blabba]

Now that i finally have my R, am wanting to make some changes given that the dealership wouldn't do it upon delivery.
Namely the traffic one. Cant believe the dealership wouldn't do this.

Also the brake lights and number plate lights.

Anyone in Melbourne (pref Eastern Suburbs) able to assist??
Sure I rustle up some beers etc for the effort.

Thanks heaps in advance.

Cheers,

Blabba.

Flying completly blind here...... spotted this on Ozbargain....does this deal represent any value or usefullness?

Wholesale VAG COM 12.10.3 VAGCOM VCDS 12.10.30 Diagnostic Cable HEX USB Interface for VW Audi

What software would I need to start tinkering?

This is a very suss looking device, and you should be aware that the software quoted appears to be Rosstech's latest version and quite definitely not legal.

Buy at your own risk (but then, you're not risking much, I doubt Rosstech would sue you...)

They also do another one...

VAG Com VAGCOM 12.12.0 Diagnostic Cable VCDS 12.12.0 Cheap Price wholesale

not sure what difference there is. Maybe one of them supports the Golf mk7

[Ryan_R]

Just remember guys the genuine VCDS cable contains the license that unlocks the VCDS software. So these ones will be very limited in what they can do. To be sure, any of them should be able to change hex codes in control modules, but you won't have a clue what codes to change, whereas with VCDS most things are labelled and documented.

Sigh, not sure whether or not to turn down the Soundkator...still wish to hear something even though it sounds terrible lol makes me feel like I'm going faster than I actually am. :p

I'm more interested in activating the inner brake clusters on my GTI PP, seems really odd that it's not default, looks strange!

Now I know it is not legal but does anyone know the coding to turn off the EGR valve? If you do and don't want to say it Pm me please?
Cheers

Sounds doable

btw when digging around the RNS510 in VCDS I saw a setting described as 'Eject Lock' -wonder if that has anything to do with some of those guys who couldn't eject firmware CDs after botched update attempts.

It's there for the car hire companies, so they don't lose the disc.

Hello DV52, I have received an answer to my thread on the Ross Tech site which may be of benefit.

2013 Golf 7 coding problem

Bloggo: Dana at Ross-tech has solved the coding problem for the RLF sensor (Regen/Licht/Feuchtesensor- Rain Light Humidity sensor) on the MQB platform. Just reload the latest Beta SW from Ross-Tech and try again. Mine worked a treat!

Here's Dana's link for the fix (see post #12):

Hey mate, I've bought the 90tsi dsg actually, so I don't believe I'll have it as standard, is that right?

Did anyone have any luck with this? I've just bought a 90TSI DSG for the in-laws and would like to enable mirror on it for them.

DionM: I'm fairly sure that enabling mirror dip on a 90TSI has not been attempted before (at least no one has reported progress on this task). The big question (for me) is-notwithstanding that the passenger side mirror on a 90TSI has a controllable motor, does it also have memory capabilities?

Anyhow, have you tried enabling bits 1,2 & 3 of byte 4 in the passenger door controller? I suggested this in my earlier post #107

The first thing to check is that the three bits actually appear in the Long Coding Helper for the 90TSI. As Ryan_R replied when I first suggested the tweak, the worst that can happen is that you will generate one or more errors on the passenger door controller-which you can easly clear and then roll-back the changes that you made to byte 4. Seems like a worthwhile exercise to try given the simplicity of the VCDS tweak.

If you attempt the tweak, please let us know what happens (the more information that we get on this stuff the better informed that we will all be)

I'm ready to try these, but the problem is that dad doesn't want anything possibly voiding warranty on his mk7, aka he wants something written that it won't affect warranty. I did make a thread about it, and the consensus is that it won't affect warranty because they can't tell. But dad just says what if..

Kesh:despite what everyone says about the warranty issue, ultimately it all boils-down to risk management! The one universal truth about the managment of risk is that we all see the advantages and the disadvantages of risk differently. Your Dad's view is as correct (to him) as the opposite view is correct to those of us that play with VCDS cables. We just view the risk of a warranty conflict in our own individual way - and we take a position appropriately.
Perhaps if someone else does the tweak and reports that it is successful, your Dad might relent- just for this one tweak. If the report that we get back is negative, then it doesn't really matter -in your case.
