Thought I'd start a thread on any VCDS tweaks people have had success with. I assume most of the ones that work for the Mk7 Golf would also work but will be great to know which ones actually do work! Any screenshots, pictures, videos associated with the tweaks would be great! I'll let you guys know which ones work when I get my car and get around to borrowing/buying a cable!
These are the ones I'm keen to do on my Tiguan when it arrives: 1) Deactivation of auto stop/start 2) Memory retention of seat heater setting 3) Deactivation of seat belt reminder 4) Activation of Volkswagen Traffic Message Channel 5) Driving school mode 6) Air-conditioning recirculation memory setting
CONFIRMED working VCDS tweaks: Activation of Volkswagen Traffic Message Channel: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ml#post1038915 Deactivation of auto stop/start (courtesy DV52 and VYWY - post #94, exactly the same way as Mk Golf 7)
Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the wider expertise of other forum members! Thank you.
Does anyone have any bright ideas as to why I can’t get the comfort blinkers change to work? I’ve found the right adaption, made the right change, and it saves but the indicator still only flashes 3 times despite the adaption clearly having a 4 as the value... I’ve been using VCDS for years, but just can’t work this out!
Also, has anyone successfully got Light Assist working on a MY18 Highline?

Only suggestion I have is go to the MIB, go to Car, Settings, Factory Reset, Lights, then Reset. I had the same drama with that. This seemed to work on a Passat with MIB2. Worth a try.

Owner of a US - 2018 Tiguan SEL Premium here, which I assume would be a highline in other parts of the world.
I'm happy I found this thread as it allowed me to do some changes to the tiguan that worked and I didnt realistically expect to do including but not limited to; Dashboard display change, adding colors to infotainment (epic, im able to match the car color now =D, retention of seat heating, gauge sweep, screen nag (didnt pay attention to what it did though), some other stuff Im forgetting too I bet and other things i just didnt want to do.
What DID NOT work for me:
Enabling 360 / 3D View
To my surprise the US manual actually mentions this portion, but it is nowhere to be found on the screen and VCDS doesnt have the label files for it yet. All the channels under adaptation show up as unavailable i think it was and the long coding portion is not labeled.
Can any of you post the scan of the 6C Module from your cars for comparison? I'm curious to know the part #'s, coding and what-not.
Another: Preventing the LED running lights from shutting off when turn signals are active. Neither of the settings posted worked for me as the lichtfunction are already set to not active from factory, and there is nothing about beide Phasen in my module.
Auto closing for rain, everything is enabled but for whatever reason, it just refuses to close. Works in my MK6 without a problem, thought it would here too.
Also, does anybody know whats required for automatic "parking" aka park assist, where the steering wheel turns automatically and whatnot? I believe that was an option in europe but not sure if it requires more modules or can it simple be enabled.
EDIT: I looked into this a little deeper and it seems like the US Spec tiguans are missing sensors to have this "enabled". There should be two more sensors on the front bumper and two on rear on the very edges, and those are not there. I wonder if its possible to retrofit those.
In the USA we also have the orange marker lights in the bumper, I was trying to figure out how to turn those off without any luck.
Adaptation of the dynamic start-up assistant
In the brake electronics control unit, you have the option of adjusting the dynamic approach assistants on the VW Tiguan 2 AD and installed automatic transmission (dual-clutch transmission). The starting behavior can thus be changed accordingly. As the factory-delivered dynamic starting assistant with the setting normally relatively late releases the brake, each time a significant jerking is noticeable, which causes an overall poor starting behavior of the vehicle. If you change the setting to early, it will keep the start assistant (and thus the braking intervention) of the approach assistant minimized and you will not feel annoying anymore and will be able to drive gently - as it should.
The following coding is to be used:
Select STG 03 (brake electronics)
STG adaptation -> function 10
Select dynamic approach assistant
Adjust value accordingly
(default value: normal) Early brake releases quickly and hardly requires any gas (starting jerking is no longer noticeable)
Normal factory standard (noticeable jerk at start up) Late brake releases late and only with a relatively large amount of gas (strong jerking during acceleration) start-up)
I prefer the early brake release, feels smoother than in normal mode
Current:
2017 Mk2 Tiguan 162TSI, R-line, White

Hi veew
Thx for posting this, regarding tractions control long coding, I played in this AWD module long time ago when received my Tiguan and have discovered some rattle noise issue so I try to put even on lowest traction settings to try insulate noise issue but didn't help, but I can tell you is huge difference and improvement in torque /power when you set from lowest to highest mode , high from normal is highly recommended .

Are you sure you're talking about the dynamic approach assistant like veew?
