Interesting tweak from the Mk7 side of the fence:

If I get my OBDeleven app installed I will give this one a go as I would like additional lighting in the 360 degree view at night.

Its on the Google store now I updated mine last week Is version 0.25.2

Is anyone else with OBDeleven V1 dongle having issues with their app? I couldn't update it in my tablet so uninstalled it. Now I'm unable to reinstall it. The original download link from a few years back does not work...

I'm using an android tablet with version 5.0.1 so meets the minumum standard of Android 5.0

when i installed it, the download link didn't work either. i ended up downloading a trial vpn, going to the US app store, and downloading it from there. at the time it wasn't available on the aus app store (unsure if it's available now)

I agree with spacemannz.
Before when turning onto a main road from a small side street the engine would seem to bog down which was exacerbated by the poor low speed throttle response.
This VCDS tweak just ensures there is cleaner progress. I have not noticed adverse tyre wear since activating the setting 2yrs ago and neither have I wanted to turn it back to stock.

good to know, thanks both. thinking i'll pull the trigger and make the change.

I regularly pull out of a steep driveway into traffic. I found the car would bog down in wet weather, this seems to reduce that. I might get one wheel spinning a few quick revolutions as I crest the drive from a standstill and the car keeps steady power to the road and constant velocity. Maybe a placebo effect but I’ve had the setting on about 2 years and haven’t felt any need to change it back.

Do you think the advantage of delayed traction control outweighs the risk of increased tyre slip? I’m considering it, but this is where I’m stuck currently

Are these tweaks all for Petrol only,
or also possible on TDI Tiggys?

Depends what you want to do, however most are except obviously things that adjust a petrol engine wont be

Yep, I have.
It gives a little bit of tyre slip if you take off quickly in a situation where you might normally lose traction - in the wet for example.
Not enough slip to really to light up the tyres, or anything silly like that. It feels like it delays the traction control at low speeds.

has anyone tried the 'starting vibration reduction'?

Select Control Unit 03 – Brake
Adaptation
Starting Vibration Reduction
Set to Starting Vibration Reduction and Torque Limitation to ‘Deactivated’

Found it on the AutoInstruct site, but curious to hear if it makes any noticeable differences.
Says it stops the automatic braking intervention during wheel hop scenarios.

In my Tiguan 2017 i had the composition media. The menu looked like the first image and it was "in a line".
I coded it somehow so the menu structure looked like the second picture, like a "grid".
I want to do it on my passat now, but I can't remember how i did.

I didn't change the headunit, it was only coded/adapted with vcds.

Does somebody know how I can do it?

Hi, but did work the start stop to stop the function?

I didn't try it. I used the voltage method and it worked after I cleared the app data.

It is very good advice to only use tried and proven tweaks. The OBD11 opens up access to so many parameters, many of which are basic to the vehicle's operation. Best to tread very very carefully.

Having said all that, the "Stop prohibition: no start request" tweak is in fact the identical tweak as the second start/stop tweak on the Golf Mk7 list.

Just do it with the voltage method which is proven to work and not stuff around with the unknown
