Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

How much do you want for yours?
I'm thinking of getting one.

My advice is NOT to buy OBD11, and if you already have, chuck it in the bin. It has cost me a heap of credits to activate High Beam Assist, then deactivate, and then revert to original. Support is woeful.

The lights do it by adjusting the beam or by shutters, unlike the Audis which have matrix lights which can turn off individual spots of the Led,s to achieve a similar outcome

It has to be really dark with no cars etc. anywhere in front for them to work..

Unlike other cars with this feature, individual led lights in each headlight cant operate to enable the high beam to work without blinding oncoming traffic, full highbeam on both lights seems to only work when active.

Hi all... HBA can be activated with the app, which I used. I had the lights set to AUTO, and the stalk forward, but high beams would not activate.

Was it dark enough for them to come on. If you want to turn it off dont push the stalk so far forward

HBA app works but you have to code VERY CAREFULLY to get DLA to work and the method posted by Phonebooth definitely works and can be verified by the dance the lights do in a darkened garage when you turn them on

I have the same problem and can't turn off at light settings.

I used the obdeleven app so you would think it should work, or at least turn off at light settings.

I used OBD11 to activate High Beam Assist on my MY19.5 162 R Line. The Headlight symbol with the A displayed on the AID, and turned from white to blue, but high beams were not being activated. Using OBD11, I deactivated, so now not getting the headlight/A symbol when I push the stalk forward, but still not getting high beam. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Sounds to me like you may have done something wrong in the long coding if it’s only partially working.

I can’t recall, but is HBA possible with one of the apps? Maybe give that a shot instead.

I had it for a few days till I activated DLA and then it didnt matter. Have you got the lights set to auto or it wont work .

hello guys, I have read various posts regarding DLA, I believe my Tiguan is equipped with DLA per factory if anybody needs anything drop me a PM.

Here is the link to the Autoscan I read from all modules if you can determine anything.

Is there a tweak to have a more proactive Haldex? Like Audi’s Quattro Ultra where it’s engaged every time starting off from standstill etc?

Haldex All-Wheel-Drive Adjust Traction
Reports indicate that changing this setting to ‘Increased Traction’ improves the handling and makes the car feel like a permanent AWD system.
Select AWD Control Unit
Adaptation
Acoustic Measure, Wiring Logic
Choose from ‘Standard, Increased Traction, Less Noise’

Audi's quattro system is not haldex (unless it's on the MGB)
Having the haldex engage more often may increase wear on the clutches.

I have an iPhone, but bought a cheap Samsung tablet from office works for obd11. It works fine and I leave it in the centre console.
