Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[Hole46]

Do you have any favorites to share with us?
I Would like to keep the colors the same as the "original ones" like you first selected with OBD on the AID itself (GTI R/native blue etc.)

Checked them all out, I prefer the GTI R blue.

Does anyone else have the problem in traffic sign recognition of picking up the speed signs on the slip roads off highways? Makes it hard to use a speed warning.

Yes, not once has it picked up the 110km/h sign as I enter the highway. It still says 60 until I pass the next on ramp..

Sorry, should have worded my post better. I meant I am travelling on the highway at 110 and my car picks up the 60, 70 etc speed signs on the exit slip lanes while I am still on the highway,

I haven't tried highway yet but it's picking up 60k and 70k sign without issue. Mine occasionally beep and shows "Dynamic road sign detection is currently restricted" in AID. Does anyone else get that?
Also I don't see menu item for sign detection and speed limit in the setting, something I missed?

Ah I see. I don't have that problem as our off ramps all have "exit speed" in the yellow square type of sign that the TSR doesn't pick up.

No issues with the TSR picking up offramp signs. Today I did notice around town the TSR was indicating the sign was 100km/hr in a 60km/hr zone. Hasn't happened before.

Heya what's the best way to get get some Tiguan tweeks done? TMC switching on etc. Who can I ask nicely to help?

You could ask for other members for their time & tools/insight/experience or buy the bluetooth OBD dongle yourself (and an android device if you don't already have one).
To buy: OBDeleven Diagnostic System – Audi, Skoda & Volkswagen – AutoInstruct
If you don't have an android device already: Andriod Devive Recommendations for OBDeleven

Then check out the original post for all the tweaks.

Can't remember if someone has already posted air-recirculation memory setting but this is what worked for me:

1. 08 Auto HVAC
2. Long coding
3. Byte 4
4. Bit 4-5 use drop down box and select “10 Recirculation Air settings (after ignition cycle) stored

OBD11 - Trailer electronics activation

For those of you with towbars installed, do you have the following in your Central Infotainment Display?
If you go to Menu --> Vehicle --> Settings --> Drivers Assistance: Do you have trailer recognition sub-menu?

(YouTube)

It wasn't there originally for me but I coded it in the Trailer Module:







There are a few other trailer related settings I was going to code but didn't want to do too much before actually trying out something on the towbar. I just want to know if Trailer Assist where you use the mirror adjuster can be used to place the trailer whilst reversing.
Will eventually get more time to find out the answer if someone else hasn't already beaten me to it.

[Paul RLine]

Yep I have it. I can't wait to try it though. See how good it is

Just interested in knowing a few things about your vehicle.
What are the specs of your vehicle? Trim level and model year?
What towbar do you have? VW Genuine or Westfalia or other?
