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

[Rainesh]

Anyone know if I can activate the fatigue detection system under Driver Assistance menu via VCDS or it's not possible?

Thanks.

You can turn it off in your car menu - drivers assist....i think

I don't have the option. I want to activate.

I don't have the option. I want to activate.

Sorry did not read it right. Will check.it for you.

Thanks.

Is this only what I have to do?

My question is:

Is just that what I have to activate or anything more?

I thought only that. Maybe in 17 also

Did you find out what?

[cgentil]

Activated. It says function unavailable at moment. It means it's a SWAP (function as product, code nees to be bought) function?

Any help?

I was recently acquainted with this tweak by a newbie forum member (thanks harisg). The tweak will illuminate the outer tail-lights (left & right) whenever the hatch is opened. This illumination happens regardless of the position of the rotary light switch, or the time-of-day (i.e. irrespective of whether the car has a RLS/RLHS/RLHS installed, or not). To the extent that the additional illumination provides a "visual" warning for approaching vehicles that a person is at the rear of the car, the tweak is considered a safety feature worthy of implementation.

The tweak is straight-forward and easy to implement, but I have purposefully complicated these instructions to cater of our growing number of USA forum colleagues. As you may be aware, NAR (North American Region) cars have a slightly different lighting arrangement and the factory Leuchte settings for their outer tail-lights are more-functionally rich than our RoW (Rest-of-world)models - due in large part to the fact that the outer tail-lights must also perform the standard blinker activity

A final point - once implemented this tweak will override the normal rear brake-light function. So if you drive with the tailgate opened, the tweak may not be appropriate!

Tail-light illumination when hatch open - Safety feature

1. Select 09 - Central Electr control module
2. Select Security Access - 16 from the "Open Controller" screen
3. Enter the magic number 31347 and return to the "Open Controller" screen
4. Select Adaptation - 10 from the "Open Controller" screen
5. From the pull-down button check that the default settings for the adaptation channels shown in the table below for either your RoW or NAR vehicle are as indicated in the RoW/NAR Setting column
6. For the car type (i.e. RoW, or NAR), change the adaptation channels depicted in the table below to the values in the New Setting column (use the "Search" box to locate the correct channels)
   

Notes:

1. I've shown the complete Leuchte-set for both outer tail-lights for completeness, For confirmation though:

1. If the car is RoW:

(5)-Leuchte21BR RC8-Lichtfunktion B 21 and
(5)-Leuchte20BR LA71-Lichtfunktion B 20

need to be changed

1. If the car is NAR,

(16)-Leuchte21BR RC8-Lichtfunktion G 21, and
(18 )-Leuchte21BR RC8-Dimmwert GH 21, and
(16)-Leuchte20BR LA71-Lichtfunktion G 20, and
(18 )-Leuchte20BR LA71-Dimmwert GH 20

need to be changed

2. If the default factory settings in the car are not as shown in the table- do not proceed with the tweak

I wanted to set this but due to another tweak, tail lights operating in unison post #787 and the last line above I chose not to continue, any input appreciated

MF: hmm........ I always get confused with American accents - it's my fault!!

The boot-open tweak part of the instructions in post #787 are the same as those in your copy of my instructions in the post above for NAR models. If the settings for the following channels on your car are as shown in the NAR Setting column in the table above - then it should be OK to proceed

(16)-Leuchte21BR RC8-Lichtfunktion G 21, and
(18 )-Leuchte21BR RC8-Dimmwert GH 21, and
(16)-Leuchte20BR LA71-Lichtfunktion G 20, and
(18 )-Leuchte20BR LA71-Dimmwert GH 20

For the tweak to work, the only important thing is that the G and H adaptation channels for the Leuchte21BR RC8 & Leuchte20BR LA71 Leuchte-set are not used before implementing the changes. I've given the "boot-open" function the highest priority in my instructions because I figure that it's the most important activity (i.e either the engine will be off, or the car will be stopped when the hatch is opened - so there will be no priority conflict with any other lamp function on the 2 x outer tails)

Thanks for this and all other input. I seem to have missed the G & H adaptions
Cheers MF
btw I am actually a skippy transplant

I like to keep my menus and displays trimmed down (ie minimalist) to just the info and details I'm interested in. Less is more.
Selfish perhaps, but hey, its my car.
Thanks for any tips or clues for how to delete the compass heading from the MFD (display between the tacho and speedo) in a Mk7 R.

^^^^Yes, you are correct - it is your car and you're perfectly entitled to be rid of that annoying direction display.

Mine is a wild guess - but the only adaptation channel that I can find on my car that is remotely related to "compass" and that is not "not active" is IDE04307-ENG117733-Vehicle function list BAP-compass_0x15_msg_bus. This channel has a factory setting Databus Infotainment. Might be worth experimenting with this - as I said, entirely untested suggestion

Think I found it. Using OBDeleven.
Control Unit 17 (Dashboard), Navigation/Compass, No.
Coding and driving test needed to confirm.

Edit. All good. The annoying pseudo compass info is gone from the MFD.
