Nevermind! Don have me the codes and I can confirm it works. Posted it on YouTube.

I can only see the Start System Interface module in my car on OBD11, but not the codes in the video. It's a brand new GTI, any thoughts, I'd like to have this activated.

If its a 2020 MY20 you may not be able to do anything much to it due to VW blocking access

Yeah, I don't have a KESSY control unit, so I'm not sure of where else to go.

If you reply with quote we know who you are replying to as a reply is just to the thread

I was replying to you, the instructions are for the KESSY control unit, you need to go to YouTube to see them.

If you are talking about the pulsing light in the start button already done that and its a waste of time. I put mine back to normal

[genebaby]

Yes, that's what I'm interested in, I saw before that the Mk8 does this and it was something in the new car I didn't mind.

Genebaby:hi again

The instructions that I wrote for the heartbeat tweak in VCDS speak were intended to apply to the KESSY module called Acc/Start Auth. which lives @ address hex05 on the CAN network. The particular hex05 module in my car is 5Q0-959-435 (EV_KessyHellaMQBAB).

On some later model MQB vehicles, the equivalent KESSY module is called Access Startsystem Interface and the address is hexB7 - but they still have the descriptor 5Q0-959-435 (EV_KessyHellaMQBAB).

I don't have a channel map for the hexB7 modules, but I'm surprised that the 2 x channels in the tweak are missing on your car.

When you have selected the hexB7 module with OBD11 on your car and you have chosen adaptation option, you should be presented with a search box. If you enter Search lights into this box, you should be able to select DeveloperCoding: Search lights. Once you do this, you should then have access to ZAT_illumination_concept_mybeat_clamp58xt and ZAT_illumination_modus_mybeat_clamp58xt in the list of channels - which you can set to activated

Thanks Don, l will check my car when I get home from work and see how this goes with your information.

Its an App in OBDELEVEN to flash the start engine button

[genebaby]

Not available for me with my car. I would have used the 10 credits

[genebaby]

Success Don!! I got the hearbeat going on the start button, and it's very cool.

There was big confusion as I am new to using the OBD11 and I was trying to follow the previous instructions, that only appeared in the Youtube video, and were incorrect, at least for me. I was trying to find a channel starting with Enginexxxxx.

Things are a bit different in OBD11, as I didn't really need to know about HexB7.

The procedure for my car was:

Go into the Start System Interface Control Unit

Select Adaptations

Search for Lights and select "DeveloperCoding:Search lighs"

Select the two channels: ZAT_illumination_concept_mybeat_clamp58xt and ZAT_illumination_modus_mybeat_clamp58xt and set them to activated

This was a deeper dive than I had done into the menus and was a good learning experience. Thanks for your help, this is a small but nifty mod in the car.

I have a question about what is possible with programming of the all LED headlights?

Is it possible to replicate the dynamic style that these Supernova aftermarket units can do on a GTI?

Those arent headlights they are the DRL's and turn indicators

There is an OBDII mod called PACE CAR lights for a Mk7 does that with rear indicators I dont know about the fronts

[genebaby]

Yes, you're so helpful. They are the DRLs/indicators inside my headlights, and they are LED, hence I was wondering what programming could be done with the LED's in the headlights, these being one subset of them.

I am guessing if anyone would know it would be Don, you there buddy?

I'm cool with getting aftermarket side indicators for the mirrors but a whole headlight assembly is another thing, considering what I have now. If I had non-LED headlights the Supernova ones would be a no-brainer.

I'm new to this world, three months ago I had no idea I'd have two VW's now, but I'm realising that to get some of the features I'm after it would have been easier to have an older car to upgrade. Such is life.
