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

[DV52]

I've just got my car back after having the rear bumper and LHS Blind Spot sensor replaced after a mishap. The problem is that it still shows up as unavailable when I try and select it through the menu, even thought the repairer has assured me that they replaced everything to spec. They have booked me in with the dealer to have it scanned.

My question: is this something that I can reenable through coding with OBDEleven? As this is the culmination of a couple of **** ups that leave me with zero faith in the line that the smash repairer is spinning.

Olle: Hi. Of course the problem could be due to any number of causes and it's expecting a lot for smash repairers to be fully up-to-date with the complexities of modern radar systems used in today's modules - but notwithstanding that the new module is like-for-like, I wonder if perhaps the replacement unit requires calibration?

It's not an uncommon issue when retrofitting "measurement" type modules on MQB platform vehicles -but a scan report from a diagnostic device would be a good thing to clarify the nature of the problem.

Don: Thanks for the reply - I scanned it this morning and the only code it’s throwing is:

U112300 Databus Error Received - Static

A quick Google indicates that this is usually the case when something isn’t hooked up correctly. Thoughts?

If this is the case I’ll let the dealer deal with it.

Thanks again for your help

@olle: Alas that particular error message is too general to be useful in this instance (the trouble code can be associated with lots of causes). The good thing about the trouble code is that it's "Static" - so it should be stable when the dealer tool is connected.

Hi I am interested to know what these readings mean. From a 2017 Golf Comfortline TSI station wagon with 34000 kms; via OBD Fusion/Carista dongle. Anything to be concerned about?Thanks very much.

2018 Mk7.5 Golf GTI. Does anyone know if it is possible to decouple the rear parking sensors from the rear view camera? I need my rear view camera when reversing into my tight garage, but the constant beeping from all sensors drives me nuts. If I turn off the sensors the camera goes with it.

You can turn off the noise with an OBDEleven

Hi.

Yes, it is indeed possible to adjust a couple of aspects of the "constant beeping" from the sensors separate from the operation of the rear view camera (and the rear sensors separate to the front sensors too).

It's all done in the Park-assist (VCDS)/Parking Assistance (OBD11) module that normally lives @ address hex10 (VCDS)/hex76 (OBD11) on the CAN network.

The pertinent adaptation channels are:

• MAS01426-Speaker volume for rear park assist
• MAS01427-Speaker frequency for rear park assist
• MAS01428-Speaker volume for front park assist
• MAS01429-Speaker frequency for front park assist

And if you have PLA 3.0 fitted, you can also use the channel Park assist activation tone > ON/OFF


Notes:

• The allowable values for the channels above are defined in "Stage #" - so the lower the number, the lower the frequency, or sound volume. You might want to greatly diminish the volume - rather than delete it entirely, maybe?
• Of course if you are using OBD11 as your diagnostic tool - ignore the leading Tag number in the channel descriptor.
• If you are asked for a security code, try 20103, or 71679.

Thanks for the responses. If I understand correctly, these measures turn off the sensors' beeping in all circumstances?

Just to clarify - what I'd like to do is have the option of turning off the beeping by using the centre console button, whilst not affecting the rear camera operation.

Basically, have the sensors operate normally at all other times apart from when reversing into my tight garage, where I can use the console button to turn them off.

Cheers.

Yes- that's correct- "in all circumstances" whenever Park Assist is active

Just to clarify - what I'd like to do is have the option of turning off the beeping by using the centre console button, whilst not affecting the rear camera operation.

I'm happy to be told otherwise, but I'm not aware of any way to make the center console button for Park Assist operate different to factory setting (which is to turn ON/OFF the entire Park Assist function as set-up in the module channels).

Basically, have the sensors operate normally at all other times apart from when reversing into my tight garage, where I can use the console button to turn them off.

Of course Park Assist doesn't know about reversing into your tight garage - but how about using the sound-off software button labelled 5 on the MIB screen below? (if you move your hand towards the left or right-hand side of the screen, the function buttons below should appear - the operation of the software switches should be explained in your manual)?

Well they say you learn something new everyday! I never knew that menu existed. Thanks, Don - there really is no end to your helpfulness. Cheers.

Hi Hardy_bm,
What exactly does this setting do?

Thanks,
Paulo.

Paulo: It's a well established tweak now for MQB platform cars - By default, the inter-vehicle distance setting of ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is factory set to distance 3. So every time that ACC is enabled, the setting defaults to distance 3.

The tweak enables the default inter-vehicle distance value to be changed to whatever the driver chooses

Don

PS: depending on the type of hex13 module, the alternative channel can be IDE01949-Distance basic setting option > ON (and reset MIB/MMI)

in the Superb (also an MQB platform car) - the setting "Last distance selected" can be turned on via the Infotainment screen, so it remembers the last distance set, everytime u enable ACC.
comes with this menu option from factory.

dArKrHaD0w: yes- that's exactly what happens when the adaptation channel in @hardy_bm post is set to ON. This value enables the screen in your post.

I've no idea how VW decides which models it will factory set to show the distance menu in the MIB - but it certainly doesn't happen for ALL cars
