my journey to activating DLA on a MY17 Tiguan

[M Diddy]

Not sure if this has been covered previously, it's in regards to the highway/"country light" setting with DLA (see Audi's teminlogy).

Previously with DLA activated, I had the issue of the RHS lights always being on low beam at speeds above 80kmph, that is the "country light" pattern. Great if you are on the Hume, not so great when on a two lane B or C road in the country.

I've played with Module 4B as described in instructions in this thread and disabled Byte 10, Bit # for "Highway_light" via long coding. Counter-intuitively, I've now got the "motorway" beam pattern for all scenarios with the usual adaptive beam forming for masking traffic ahead or oncoming cars. Less useful on the Hume/split carriage-ways, but great for back roads.

my long coding for this mod in Module 4B is now "0000 00 05 01 00 08 56 07 10 57 05 0A" - this was implemented and tested in a MY18 SWB R-line with "mid" lights. No faults recorded

I did the whole head unit reboot, factory reset light settings and "basic setting" routine after making the change.

Hope that helps people if they find they have dipped RHS beams at speeds above 80kmph.

Gents. Are you certain that turning off Byte 10, Bit 3 under 4B, for Highway light is what removed the Country light and added the Motorway light? I ask, because, I've setup DLA on my Arteon and currently have the Country Light setting. I absolutely hate it. Most of my driving at night is done on dark highways with almost no traffic and I'd much prefer the Motorway light.

I was testing last night, and sure enough, I did indeed have Highway light checked on under Byte 10, Bit 3. I un-checked the setting, saved, and still had the Country Light on. I checked it back on again to see if that would change, and nothing. Still country light. This setting does nothing for me.

I was under the impression that the "Highway Light" bit under 4B has nothing to do with DLA or high beams. From everything I've read, that setting simply makes your main beams raise a bit at highway speeds. If that is the case, I don't see what this would have to with the high beams or DLA. I'm thinking there may be another setting that I am missing somewhere and would love to find it and turn it off.

Thanks for your help!

Here are the instructions I've sent to other users to get DLA working on a '19 Tiguan Highline. Credit to AS Coding @ www.ascoding.ch as my instructions are based on his/hers but with the required changes for the '19 Highline.
Sorry it's so long but I've documented each step I took in detail. Here we go...

Hi Folks, I have a MY20 Polo GTI (Fully Optioned, Oz Market)...
Apologies in advance for the slightly off-topic post, I did originally post here, but have had no luck as yet.


I don't suppose anyone knows, how I can check if it has the hw to do dynamic light assist?
Not just high beam assist (i.e. a high/low auto-switch), but can actually adjust angle of beams.
I'm not sure if it's enabled by default, but there may be the hardware in place for it.


I own/use a OBD11v2 & may eventually get VCDS, as this stuff just fascinates me.


Thank-you!

NAR 2019 Tiguan SEL-P R-Line here, and starting to think DLA may be possible with progress being made with the NAR Arteon. Looking at this and thinking of the economics, why would VW ask for a separate headlight system when you can turn off in coding.



Even states DLA capable, but may be off due to specific countries.

For those with the ROW model, was curious in 4B if the following were checked off and/or if someone can shed light on these features.



In Byte 11 what does dynamical low beam light enabled do?



In Byte 12 what does segmented cornering light enabled do?

Some Arteons have predictive lighting as well Does yours????

Well, it didn't come with it enabled. It's just sporadic when I do enabled it. It might not like the North American maps?

Mine works on the Arteon, it just doesn't have that start up sequence.

This is how it should look It takes a few moments Hit download and wait a bit

Tested it last night and it functions perfectly. I might have a play around and see if I can get the presentation mode to work properly. Thanks again Phonebooth for your instructions, such a good feature.

Does it function as intended? There are some posts in the Passat forum indicating that certain light modules are 'parameterised' for DLA.

Yes, light switch in AUTO and the Headlamp Symbol with the A on it and no faults displayed.

So I gave followed phone booths instructions and it has activated perfectly as described. I did note however that when I start my car, it doesn’t do the flick up headlight dance, though there are no errors in my car. So wondering if anyone else has experienced that the headlight dance doesn’t flick up, but DLA is still working?

Have you got your lights on AUTO and the stalk pushed fully forward

Well had to go out last night for first night drive with DLA enabled Worked very well even though most of the roads I was on have street lighting. Di everything it was supposed to do
Wife was so fascinated with it she wanted to go for a longer drive just to watch it LOL

Yeah agree, probs easier too there seems to be to “highway light” setting too in your screenshots (under “city lights”, i changed “highway_light” in byte 10. Do you know which byte/bit that is?

No and even though I have done the mod I havent been out at night to see what it looks like yet


Do you mean "to" as in going to or "two" as in number two. Hard to understand from your writing

There are two sets of lights in the screenshots One with upper case and one lot all in lower case and set differently

I dont know what the difference between the two sets is
