Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    I Would like to keep the colors the same as the "original ones" like you first selected with OBD on the AID itself (GTI R/native blue etc.)
    Checked them all out, I prefer the GTI R blue.

    • Does anyone else have the problem in traffic sign recognition of picking up the speed signs on the slip roads off highways? Makes it hard to use a speed warning.

        Yes, not once has it picked up the 110km/h sign as I enter the highway. It still says 60 until I pass the next on ramp..

          Sorry, should have worded my post better. I meant I am travelling on the highway at 110 and my car picks up the 60, 70 etc speed signs on the exit slip lanes while I am still on the highway,

            I haven't tried highway yet but it's picking up 60k and 70k sign without issue. Mine occasionally beep and shows "Dynamic road sign detection is currently restricted" in AID. Does anyone else get that?
            Also I don't see menu item for sign detection and speed limit in the setting, something I missed?

              Ah I see. I don't have that problem as our off ramps all have "exit speed" in the yellow square type of sign that the TSR doesn't pick up.

                No issues with the TSR picking up offramp signs. Today I did notice around town the TSR was indicating the sign was 100km/hr in a 60km/hr zone. Hasn't happened before.

                    You could ask for other members for their time & tools/insight/experience or buy the bluetooth OBD dongle yourself (and an android device if you don't already have one).

                    Then check out the original post for all the tweaks.

                    • Can't remember if someone has already posted air-recirculation memory setting but this is what worked for me:

                      2. Long coding
                      3. Byte 4
                      4. Bit 4-5 use drop down box and select “10 Recirculation Air settings (after ignition cycle) stored

                            For those of you with towbars installed, do you have the following in your Central Infotainment Display?
                            If you go to Menu --> Vehicle --> Settings --> Drivers Assistance: Do you have trailer recognition sub-menu?

                            It wasn't there originally for me but I coded it in the Trailer Module:

                            There are a few other trailer related settings I was going to code but didn't want to do too much before actually trying out something on the towbar. I just want to know if Trailer Assist where you use the mirror adjuster can be used to place the trailer whilst reversing.
                            Will eventually get more time to find out the answer if someone else hasn't already beaten me to it.

                                Just interested in knowing a few things about your vehicle.
                                What are the specs of your vehicle? Trim level and model year?
                                What towbar do you have? VW Genuine or Westfalia or other?
