Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[Guest001]

They said manufacturing standards fell below expectations so they chose to fix problems before release and probably get more brown stuff heaped on them

Unless you have a fruity thing the original one works well. The new one apparently is going to include BMW as well

I thought they were releasing the first batch before iOS development was complete with the view it would be enabled later with software update?
It would still work with Android...?

I have an inkling it’s not so much quality as it’s hard to keep ahead of (and satisfy) Apple.
Apple don’t make it easy for 3rd-parties and are very security conscious.
Often devices need to exploit/bypass measures to perform the way the app designers and end-users expect.
This can open the door to dodgy behaviour(by clever end-users, copycat companies- think vcds clones), so Apple blacklist the app and/or hardware- even if nothing bad had yet happened. Again, it’s because they want a controlled and secure environment, rather than ‘herp derp Apple are scum’

Looks like MK2 version is back to the drawing board...

Why Nextgen has been delayed?
Manufacturer did not meet our high standards – after internal and external testing, hardware hasn’t passed our quality control. We want our device to be as perfect as it can be, before releasing it to the public, so we will need some time to fix all the issues.

When Nextgen will be back in stock?
We are sorry to inform you that we have delayed the release of Next generation device for unlimited time, because the manufacturer did not meet our high standards – hardware hasn’t passed our quality control. We keep working on fixing the issue and iOS software development, though we’re not confident enough to set any dates

Cheers guys
I was waiting for the mk2 version, but doesn’t seem like they have any stock since the first batch sold out in a matter of days...
Given the mk1 version is on sale, I may just grab that one.

Anyone using an OBDeleven V1 in a Tiguan - do you need the extender, or is the port in the car accessible enough to not require the extender?

Fantastic phonebooth - that is awesome news. To me the SWB not having DLA was one of the biggest letdowns when purchasing my car - considering my 2017 GOLF GTI has has it. Being a complete OBD novice, I will now have to buy an OBDeleven (waiting for the IOS version) and will give it a try. In your opinion, did you first have to code the HBA before you could go onto coding the DLA, or could you go straight to coding the DLA?

Hi Davman,

I already had HBA activated when completing the steps. I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not.

Most of the steps required to activate DLA overwrite what you've done for HBA. Especially the central electrics control unit adaptions.

For those who are interested, here's a video of the light startup sequence and a brief demo of what DLA looks like.

Seems to activate around 60-65km/h on dim roads.

I've been actively posting in the Passat B8 forum regarding Dynamic Light Assist getting some advice from fellow forum members.

So for the benefit of all us Tiguan owners, I've managed to get Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) activated in my '19 Tiguan SWB Highline w/ Sound & Vision + R-Line.

Good to see you persisted instead of throwing in the towel[emoji106]

Read pages 102 -104 of your manual and see if you can see the high beam icon with the A in it when you push the stalk away from you

Yes I have that because I activated HBA. I believe they share the same icon.

[Guest001]

I've enabled that already.

Yep my spec sheet says the same thing. I think that means the lights pivot slightly as you turn the steering wheel. There's also that small cornering lamp in the headlight assemblies which activates when you turn the steering wheel beyond a certain point or activate one of the indicators.

From my understanding DLA has the high beam on all the time and uses the shutters to divert the light around passing cars/cars in front.

No idea why they have to make it so confusing.
