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,

  • Just tried on mine (R-Line with electric powered leather seats) and I don’t get the option in the Infotainment Car Seat Menu either.

      Looks like we don’t get that option in our MY17 Tigs.

      • Surprised the Seat option wouldn't be there for the MY17. I've reviewed my history log and can't see anything else that was done to the seats...

          • Sorry if this has been covered (I have looked but couldn't find anything), I've just bought the OBDEleven Pro, but I'm worried about "bricking" my car. I would only be following the commands that have been posted here, and I obviously wouldn't go changing random codes that I'm not sure about, but I am wondering how smart the car is, as in would it not allow you to make any changes that would prevent the car from starting? Is it possible to "reset to factory default" if needed?

            Also, I would guess the answer would be yes, but does anyone know if enabling TJA (for example) voids the cars warranty?

              No comment from the dealer when my car was serviced after TJA had been activated.

                I think there is no many dealers who understand something in electronic.... I talk about France in my case....

                  dealers don’t know or seem to care what’s enabled from the factory or by others, I’ve heard of others taking their car into vw to get stuff sorted that they accidentally disabled, and have had success getting it sorted

                  • In a discussion today with one of our forum members I mentioned that I had read this...
                    Drivers Reaction Adjustment (Car must be fitted with Camera)
                    Adjusts the sensitivity in which the car will alert the driver due to lack of steering input.

                    Select Control unit A5 (camera)
                    Security access
                    Enter unlock code 20103
                    Adaptation
                    Select channel deactivation threshold driver activity
                    Value adjust accordingly Default: medium options: early, middle, late

                    Taken from here....

                    Now I have re-read it I am not sure if I interpreted it correctly, does this refer to the weight that must be applied to the steering wheel and torque sensor in the rack or to the time interval that the steering input must be made.

                      It's the time interval that the steering input must be made.

                        What difference in time is there from early to late?

                        • Hi all,
                          I'm attempting to enable rear fog lights for my highline. Has anyone had any luck with this? I looked at the Golf tweaks but they don't seem to match what I'm seeing.

                            Kyle: The short answer is that it is entirely possible to "brick" the car to the extent that it needs to be taken back to a dealer.

                            For example, I have never been "brave enough" to run a simple output test on the Airbag control module (@ address hex03) using any diagnostic device that I own (i.e. VCDS, OBD11, or VCP). As one of the cable manufacturer describes:
                            " it won't deploy your airbags. But it MAY render the vehicle undrivable. Running Output Tests is supposed to make the airbag controller generate a simulated crash signal to the rest of the systems in the vehicle so that unlocks itself and shuts various things OFF.

                            Unfortunately, one of the things it shuts off is the power supply to at least the Engine Control Module, and possibly to other modules (I'm guessing). I suspect that resetting the car, so that it is drivable isn't just a case of clearing the Trouble Code.

                            But, this is an extreme example, and more likely, the type of problem that will be encountered is less severe. Generally, an unintentional, aberrant code change will result in an error message on the car's screen, or a more innocent Trouble Code on your OBD11 software. These type of errors are more-fixable by the user.

                            Alas, there is no "reset back to factory setting" on any diagnostic device that I'm aware-of. What happens when you make a change to either an adaptation channel, or to a Byte/Bit in the module's coding is that the new value over-writes the old value and the old value is lost forever. But ALL devices have a kind-of "remedial" facility to help the user back-track his/her steps. In OBD11, the function is called "History". The history report reveals the before/after values of every change that you make with your device. Here's a example of the type of information that is in the history report:

                            first, for a change to an adaptation channel:

                            Adaptation
                            Control unit: 09 Central Electrics
                            Name: Leuchte20BR LA71
                            Values:
                            Dimmwert EF 20:
                            Old value: 0
                            New value: 20
                            Mileage: 3949 km
                            Date: 2017-11-16 16:53


                            Second for a change to a module code -string:
                            Long coding
                            Control unit: 55 Headlight Regulation
                            Old value:
                            021801010B000400
                            New value:
                            021801003F000400
                            Mileage: 2473 km
                            Date: 2017-09-21 14:52


                            Notice the Old/New value entries. But to revert these values, you will need to manually make the change with your OBD11 device.

                            But, if I can provide one piece of advice for any new user of a diagnostic device, it would be to try and make a least a few errors in your learning experience. These events will invariably be your most useful learning tool

                            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.
