A guide to enable EU specific features for AU Spec Tiguans

[SNOBUM]

Hi peanut
Do you have the coding to enable Light Assist?

[Gladbach]

I received my OBDEleven today, so I'll be playing around with it tonight First cab off the rank will be enabling TMC Traffic.

GLAD, after fixing all yours, please fix mine too ...hehe ... im happy to pay you, the minimum is the cost for camera installation from MC car security.

A lot of users say one of the first things they want to disable is start/stop but it is not really necessary. A long time ago I taught advanced driving both for road craft and track work and one if the first things that got drummed into students was how to brake properly on the road and by that I mean how to brake without the car jerking to a stop. It used to be called the chauffeur stop so the passengers are not aware of the actual stop itself, it is easy to do by modulating the brake pedal and backing off the pressure as the speed reduces. What I have found is that driving this way the stop/start simply does not work and after my vehicle stops I need to give the brake pedal a push to engage the brake because I hate sitting at a set of lights with my foot on the brakes. Sometimes the motor cuts when I push the pedal after stopping but most times it doesn't. What I am saying is it is something that can be controlled with brake pressure if you don't have access to a coding cable and software.

On the track it is totally opposite, into the corner and absolutely as hard as you can jump on the brakes and try and bend the brake pedal and that is a really hard thing to learn as it is totally opposite to how we drive every day.

Sure. I'd follow IsDon's lead though, certainly wouldn't accept payment. Maybe some German beer hehe.

As it turns out, I'm actually having a dash cam installed tomorrow. I was tempted to do it myself, and probably would have on an older car, but I'd rather have it professionally installed so that I don't screw up the trim/roof lining and stuff. I found a good reference in this forum to a guy who does it in Sydney.

I enabled the traffic feature - it was really easy (well, easy when everyone else on this forum has already done all of the investigation). The instructions I followed were generic, but it was pretty easy to do the same with the OBDEleven.

I now have the traffic messages come up when I press the traffic button, as well as red congestion in the standard navigation view (in both the discover pro unit and the active info display). It's pretty nice.

Sure, you're only around the corner after all!

[theitchy]

Thank you very much GLAD, sure let me know your favourite beer then... hehe.....I have to other OBDELEVEN ASP then....hehe....The cost of installation a bit too much though and honestly you are lucky to be able to find someone who can do that with same quality as professional.

Hi all,

Finally took delivery of my 132Tsi with DAP and Luxury Pack (can't afford the Highline!). I have been trying to do some OBDEleven programming and managed to enable TMC, but some of the coding cannot be performed with engine ignition turned on. I know the car electrics can be turned on with the keyless start button as long as the brake pedal is not depressed, but OBDEleven will not connect without the engine ignition turned on. Yet once connected, if the engine ignition is turned off the electrics get turned off.

Will appreciate some advice from the gurus here on how the OBDEleven programming can be done without ignition turned on.

Congrats hoola. I'm no guru, so far I've only enabled TMC myself. I don't recall the OBDEleven not connecting without the engine turned on though. I'll try it again and see what it does for me.

Which coding are you planning on doing next?

[Gladbach]

Just tried it. Plugged in dongle, Foot off the break, pressed start engine, opened the app and connected ok.

[hoola]

Thanks Gladbach. Fiddled with it and the eventually got it to connect by setting the driver profile to ECO and stopping the car while the engine turns off. Managed to get the following coded in OBDEleven:

1. TMC
2. Automatic window closing in rain
3. Adaptive land guidance
4. Enable/display DRL in Discovery Media

The settings in OBDEleven are different from VCDS so it took some experimenting to find the adaptation channels. I did find that the coding option in OBDEleven did not work for Central Electronics. All of the changes were done through adaptation channels. I have yet to find the adaptation channel for sunroof comfort closing but will try that this weekend.

Did try to get Dynamic Road Sign Display working, but OBDEleven does not show byte and bit number so I got stumped at the front sensor driver assistance module (byte 16 bit 4), information electronics (byte 24 bit 6) and the instruments module (byte 5 bit 2), not being able to figure out which to toggle. I know OBDEleven has an app to turn this on for 100 credits but I did not want to try it without knowing how to reverse the changes.
