Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[Guest001]

Have managed to do or not to do the following

(High Beam assist ) doesnt on the TIguan as we dont have the correct lights to do it.

Ive tried 4 times and a VW expert told me that the headlights arent the ones with the ability to shut off some of the LED's

Also we cant do the pace car turn indicators because we only have single piece turn's on the rears

I have done following

Turned off Stop start
Enabled Speed sign recognition
Enabled L on filling
Turned off nag on Nav
Changed ambient light colours on dash to 10
Changed rear lights to be on with DRL's
Changed rear turns to be on 50% brightness when boot open
Enabled Needle sweep
Enabled pass on left
Enabled traffic information
Changed several warning levels
Raised microphone sensitivity
Cant enable battery level.
Dont have headlight washers

Your ‘expert’ may be self-appointed. The tiguans with DLA don’t have matrix/multi LED headlights. It’s an assortment of mirrors/flappy things setup, combined with active beam assist(the up/down/left/right movements), which control which parts of the road get illuminated.

It’s very possible there are cars with the correct headlights, BUT without the correct options programmed/installed in the relevant computer(s). I don’t mean ‘enabling’ disabled features, like road sign recognition.

I wish we allspace/diesel could have the power/boost meter info display. I enjoy that sort of data.

He is the Foreman at the dealer I bought it off (Hes been there at least 6 years) and I specifically described what I wanted and he said that the headlights we have arent able to do that so I have to take his word , correct or not.

I have had 4 attempts so get it to work and even doing long coding it says NOT SUPPORTED


Perhaps someone with a Rosstech cable will have more success but really are only doing the same thing a different way

There’s a couple of people on here who seem to know the correct terminologies and principals of the VAG systems, that can hopefully explain my perspective more accurately. I believe some features have to be ‘hard’ (read/write privileges) enabled, before they can be ‘soft’ (what obd11 and vcds do) enabled.

I suspect the dla vs not is to do with that.

For the record, if I try and enable my dla (already comes 100% factory enabled on allspace highlines) the obd11 way, it stops working properly!

Yes would be good if someone could tell us what to do to enable it as its weird that the Allspace gets it with probably the same headlights .

I have an allspace diesel and my headlight looks different. Not the same hardware.

Can anyone show a photo of them as someone has put the shorty ones on here

Be aware, I mentioned highlines

They’re the same as the highline swb lights. One big eyebrow of drl, with a ‘U’ shape also tracing the low beam.

If the drl’s aren’t that design, then the headlights themselves can’t do DLA. Now whether the correct computers/software are installed...

[Guest001]

Yes Mine is a Rline and has the "mid" model lights which look the same as the Allspace.

However i have just been reading the specs for both and the shorty doesnt mention DLA but the Allspace has it as part of the DAP package Wonder how to get it. Not that I go out ant night much but like all the toys

[Simonr23]

I suspect that the right (and lengthy/complex) combination of settings changed in obd11 coding will achieve it.

I wish the language was in English, as I’m fairly sure I could sort it out. I google translated my way through several things already, but even then it wasn’t always a straight, logical interpretation.

It’s still possible that it’s been hard-locked and needs an official, licenced device to interrogate the car, to enable a certain function?

[Guest001]

Not hard to follow in OBDII if you go to long coding it is easy to follow but when you get to a certain point and enter it it just comes up with a red box saying NOT SUPPORTED

Have tried 5 times altogether and its always the same

Here is the instruction Volkswagen MK2 Tiguan OBDeleven / VCDS Tweaks List – AutoInstruct

Scroll down to 'AutoHigh Beam" Light assist

[Simonr23]

Get in-depth in the long coding and come back with ‘easy to follow’ . As lots of things start getting acronyms- in German, it can be hard to know what small setting is being changed.

I was playing around with various sunroof settings. There are thousands of options that can be changed in the various modules. Lots are dependent on other changes to be

A- effective.
B- not cause an error.
C- break something else.

Also it’s not only headlight type. You need the camera mounted in windscreen to have Dynamic light assist (DLA) working properly. In my case it came with Driver assist pack

I have all of that Have DAP and Sound & Vision but it isnt included in DAP in a shorty, only in an Allspace according to the brochures and specs for the two
