Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

[smokeytiel]

Any chance this can be updated for the later mk2 models such as a 2023 mk2 etc "not to be confused with the 2024 model"

Anyone here able to keep the 360 degree cam on regardleas of speed? Only ask as its great when driving on trails!

Anyone here activated matrix headlights for the " IQ lights " that came without the matrix activated using VCDS ?

I have a monochrome 23 Tiguan which has no blind spot alert. I was told the hardware is physically missing by the dealer.

It appears the 2023 Tiguan models have a lesser hardware configuration than the 2019 models. Dealer didn't make that clear when we traded for a newer 2023 model. The lack of profile is annoying. Vehicle sees two keys but not two people.

Have a 2023 Tiguan, dynamic turning lights and blindspot alert not installed. Or so the dealer service tells me. Can VCDS turn these functions on? Or does there need to be more hardware installed?.

If there is no black rectangle approx. 2cm x 4 cm on the cowling of the wing mirrors facing the windows when in the open position then the hardware is definitely missing.

This is due to the semiconductor issue I refer to in my reply to Scooby2's post

Yes correct. I'm assuming you also do not have the easy open tailgate too.

With the semi conductor (chip shortage) issue, VW chose to on some models stop various standard features.

On Tiguan's built from some time in 2022 and probably most of 2023, the easy open and blind spot features were missing as standard features but could be had as an option. If you wanted to wait you could order the option.

My April build MY23 Elegance does not have the easy open/blind spot feature (they apparently share the same wiring loom /chip module) but wasn't a show stopper getting into one quickly,

My wife's Elegance MY21 (May 2021 build) has both as standard and was before VW announced the change.

By the way I'm very new to VCDS. Used to be able to read assembler longtime ago and program hardware.

Trying to add the performance monitor to a MY19 Tiguan Allspace.

I believe it needs some sort of software update to the multimedia interface before being able to activate with OBDeleven.

Has anyone done this or have any information on the software update required?

Thanks

Not sure the reason you want it, but it's useless in my opinion.
Boost pressure is atmospheric + turbo, so it will tell you you're pushing 35psi etc. it wont tell you what a traditional mechanical boost gauge will tell you, and the "kW" will max out at the factory rating, so a 162tsi will always max out at 162kW, no matter what performance mods
have been done. Even those with a stage 1 tune will max out at 162 even though it's pushing way over.

Believe you need a SWaP code for this function to fully work. I don’t believe it’s something you can turn on through coding alone.

Hi all,


Firstly thanks for this topic, I had a go at the mods from the sticky and wanted to share a few notes on my vcds experience.


As everyone says take a full map back up of stock, I didnt do this and am regretting it as i went through a bunch of the updates and dont have a baseline to fall back on. It only takes 10min .. do it.


Finally log all changes you make even if you have a baseline. Again makes life easier to go back to what it was.


As for the actual coding experience, pretty much as scripted in the sticky.


My car already had the Dynamic light assist, yet this dumbo just followed the sticky verbatim top down and coded in Light assist .. which is a step backwards. Insert above note and my regret above of not taking a baseline. Anyway luckily the car was smart enough to not take my stupid commands (although vcds didnt throw errors and accepted all coding) so I still have Dynamic light assist (but I haven't tested it in real life, however start up dance still appears and when I check my full map/scan codes they match the Dynamic light assist settings).


The 2019 Allspace seems to have alot of stuff the shorty needed coding as standard so please check before you do as i did and try to "code" it. E.g. DLA as above, 3D camera, undertaking etc of course the other explanation is the previous owner coded it also.


Finally I think the only useful contribution I have is when I followed this to enable rear DRL's -

Central Electronic (09) - Adaptation - Leuchte16BLK SLB35BLK SL KC9 - Lichtfunktion C 16 - Change to Tagfahrlicht (Original Value: nicht aktiv)
Central Electronic (09) - Adaptation - Leuchte16BLK SLB35BLK SL KC9 - Dimmerwert CD - Change to 127 (Original value 0)


Central Electronic (09) - Adaptation - Leuchte17TFL R BLK SRB3TFL R BLK SR KC3 - Lichtfunktion C 17 - Change to Tagfahrlicht (Original Value: nicht aktiv))
Central Electronic (09) - Adaptation - Leuchte17TFL R BLK SRB3TFL R BLK SR KC3 - Dimmerwert CD - Change to 127 (Original value 0)


Central Electronic (09) - Adaptation - Leuchte23SL HLC10 - Lichtfunktion C 23 - Change to Tagfahrlicht (Original Value: Original Value: nicht aktiv)
Central Electronic (09) - Adaptation - Leuchte23SL HLC10 - Dimmerwert CD - Change to 127 (Original value 0)


Central Electronic (09) - Adaptation - Leuchte24SL HRA65 - Lichtfunktion C 24 - Change to Tagfahrlicht (Original Value: nich aktiv)
Central Electronic (09) - Adaptation - Leuchte24SL HRA65 - Dimmerwert CD - Change to 127 (Original value 0)

In my case I didn't have the option Tagfahrlicht as per the instructions. But had something called "Daytime running lamps" as well as "Daytime running lights" - use the LAMPS option and it worked.


Also if your vcds is old, can use OBD Coding - Online Tool to do long coding if the helper doesn't have the bits defined.


Hopefully that helps someone.

Hi all, newbie here only just intro'd myself.

I had a go with the vcds tweaks on the sticky wanted to share my experience.


As everyone says take a full map back up of stock, I didnt do this and am regretting it as I went through a bunch of the updates and don't have a baseline to fall back on. It only takes 10min .. DO IT.


Finally log all changes you make even if you have a baseline. Again makes life easier to go back to what it was.


As for the acutal coding experience, pretty much as explained in the sticky. Some options in German but just used google to work out which to select.

thanks Hillbilly

I'll double check but I'm fairly certain I reversed all those settings already, but I'll double check using this list

Hmm I think I see the problem - I shouldn't have "undone" every setting because 5F:byte24:bit6 probably needs to stay on in order to display speed limit in the map

[The J Man]

Here you go Its for an OBDELEVEN but is the same settings and will reverse it as I have done it in the Kamiq
