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,

    It's a good point raised, but I also wonder how many cops would suspect the coding of being modified, as they are the stock taillights after all.
    Pleading ignorance seems like a good strategy in that situation. Unless they can prove the taillights didn't blink like that from factory, what are they going to do, defect the entire line of Tigs?

    • From experience, I found that sometimes when you best a cop, he may start walking around looking for other things to find fault with.

        I've reset the device to factory and tried again but no cigar.
        The OBDeleven tech support from Voltas have deduced it is my tablet. Unfortunately I do not have any other android tablets to try and am reluctant to buy another one to troubleshoot.

        Anyone in Adelaide with an android tablet I could test over a weekend with my V1 plug? I've just got 1 more tweak I would like to try (activation of mirror lights in Area view)

                  They are available in Australia but I prefer to use OBDeleven as I do not have any Windows laptops to connect it to.

                          Adaptation
                          Starting Vibration Reduction
                          Set to Starting Vibration Reduction and Torque Limitation to ‘Deactivated’


                          Found it on the AutoInstruct site, but curious to hear if it makes any noticeable differences.
                          Says it stops the automatic braking intervention during wheel hop scenarios.
                          Just coded this one in, but popped up with an error ‘brake servo restricted’, followed by some angrily flashing ABS lights. The lights went away after about 30 seconds, and doesn’t seem to be coming back.

                          For those of you who’ve done this tweak, did you also experience this?

                            No errors when I did this.

                              An update. Ended up getting another tablet running Android 9 (not 5.0.1 on the Tab 3) and the app has installed and works perfectly.
                              Annoying that the last tablet which used to work stopped.

                              Added the puddle lights with Area View which worked, find it useful when lining up right next to the kerb at night.

                              Tried Dynamic Light Assist again, unfortunately get AFS errors so reverted back to High Beam Assist which I don't really use anyway.
