Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[kamold]

From some testing that a friend of mine has done with Arteon and Passat, the only way to gain factory DLA functionality is by applying the correct parameter set to the 4b or 55 control module.
With just coding the function is not per factory spec and performance is not as it should be.
DLA is not the same as High Beam Assist (fla in German) as it also masks oncoming vehicle rather than just controlling dipped and high beam with instructions from the front facing camera.

I haven't seen a parameter set for Tiguan but I can look into it. There are parameter sets for Passat and Arteon. Arteon can also enable predictive light assist which uses map data to turn the headlight before the wheel is turned.
Tiguan DLA MIGHT work with the Arteon parameter set, but again I haven't tested it.

Interesting POV. So you're saying that the newest full LED headlight units have 2 versions - even though they look identical? Which means the 'shutter' functionality could be missing is the earlier Highlines.

The way I understand it and please correct me if I am wrong it is only the very late cars that can have DLA turned on and I have been there and tried it on mine or rather Kamold has. This is due to the type of headlight fitted as there are two LED headlight assemblies. That a Wolfsburg can be coded does not surprise me at all in fact I would be surprised if it couldn't be. Also DLA means a lot of different things to a lot of people in VW land as it has been used over the years for first Xenons then more advanced Xenons and finally two different LED assemblies.

Aren't the Wolfie lights the same as the R-line that rolled off the line at the same time?

Can anyone tell me what bits are supposed to be on in Module 4B, Byte 10. I’ve been trying to to activate DLA by OBD11, but have had a few problems.

you should be able to tick the bits until matches the code above, make sure you have the long code selected so you can see it change when you tick it or un tick the boxes

I’ve been trying that, but I can’t seem to get that code for bit 10 (0F) shown in the long code.

The user manual talks about displaying media info and traffic sign recognition in the HUD. But of course it’s disabled in Australia. When I’ve got more time I will attempt to code this into the HUD. It amazes me that all the hardware is there but they decided to have it turned off by default in Australia. Must be trying to protect their Audi brand here.

I have the long coding in history, it’s the actual bits in byte 10 which are ticked or not that I require.

i probably need to read up on if it’s possible to restore the original, or perhaps save the original code so I can recall it if I need too.

if your using an OBDEleven, then email your self the log or history and it will have the old values before you changed it in there.

This is the long coding from mine before I changed it:

000000050900084E07000F010A000000000000000000000000 0000000000

Nice, would prob consider this down the track. I'm super new to the VW coding game, but have experience working with Carly for BMW.

Couple of questions:
1) Is it a fairly involved job or is it a matter of buying the OBD11, and selecting the mods via an app? Or do you have to manually add coding lines to this?
2) Does the Traffic monitoring appear in the heads up display as well? Or just in the AID?

Thanks!

i used the OBDELEVEN for the first time last night, didn’t even read the instructions or read the OBDEleven forums just figured it all out myself using the link above. So I don’t think it’s difficult but my only advice is to do one thing at a time.

No the TMC doesn’t appear in the HUD, and I wonder if the satnav uses it to calculate the quickest route, I need to test this more. If I click traffic it will display all the messages for my route but I don’t think it incorporates it into the route planning.

TBH I’m finding the HUD a real let down, at 110km/h the pop up glass vibrates a little which is distracting at night. The lack of info on it is bad as well. I would say it’s slightly better than not having one, but coming from a Beamer that had an excellent HUD it will take a bit getting use too!

Yes I am using this. Been having problems including low battery so I tried reversing all the changes and reinstalling. I don’t know if I accidentally activated or deactivated some bits in module 4B, byte 10, so if someone could please tell me what the standard settings are?

Are you using this guide?

Activate Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) - from MY 2017 - AS.Coding

i picked up my wolfsburg yesterday and with less 60kms on the clock I coded DLA and TMC without issue

I made the Direct Acceleration change yesterday and it does feel different, especially driving around in the Hills District where it typically finds itself in the wrong gear moving through the side streets. I like it!
