Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[veew]

I regularly pull out of a steep driveway into traffic. I found the car would bog down in wet weather, this seems to reduce that. I might get one wheel spinning a few quick revolutions as I crest the drive from a standstill and the car keeps steady power to the road and constant velocity. Maybe a placebo effect but I’ve had the setting on about 2 years and haven’t felt any need to change it back.

I agree with spacemannz.
Before when turning onto a main road from a small side street the engine would seem to bog down which was exacerbated by the poor low speed throttle response.
This VCDS tweak just ensures there is cleaner progress. I have not noticed adverse tyre wear since activating the setting 2yrs ago and neither have I wanted to turn it back to stock.

Is anyone else with OBDeleven V1 dongle having issues with their app? I couldn't update it in my tablet so uninstalled it. Now I'm unable to reinstall it. The original download link from a few years back does not work...

I'm using an android tablet with version 5.0.1 so meets the minumum standard of Android 5.0

when i installed it, the download link didn't work either. i ended up downloading a trial vpn, going to the US app store, and downloading it from there. at the time it wasn't available on the aus app store (unsure if it's available now)

Interesting tweak from the Mk7 side of the fence:

If I get my OBDeleven app installed I will give this one a go as I would like additional lighting in the 360 degree view at night.

Already done that and its Ok but nowhere near as bright in reality as shown in the pic

I notice there is a new app in ODBEleven called "Turn Signals Blinking with Rear Light" that I don't think I've seen before. Has anyone done this to their Tiguan? Would it be legal to do in Oz?

VW Tiguan 2017 (Turn Signals Blinking With Rear Lights V1) - OBDeleven

VW Tiguan 2017- (Turn Signals Blinking With Rear Lights V2) - OBDeleven

Finally got around to enabling this (v2). Really like the look (tho I am usually in the drivers seat and can't see it...)

Is this legal in Oz?

No, but it is eye-catching!

[Guest001]

No, but it is eye-catching!

Why not was a car model that had turn lights that alternated from inside to outside a few years ago

[ajobbins]

No, but it is eye-catching!

Why would it not be legal? The indicator still functions are per factory, it is just also blinking the rear tails between flashes.

Do you really feel like having that argument with a cop though? There’s a lot to be said for not bringing unnecessary attention to oneself.
