    Hugo's Coding Thread - You will LOVE this!

    So, a bit of backstory. When I had my BMW 6-er and 7-er I did quite a bit of coding. I managed to enable things that were not possible (according to the coding community enthusiasts and BMW). This included remote roof operation (6-er, without extra modules), Dension Gateway integration into the 7-er (again, not even Dension believed this possible), and much more. Now I have the Tiguan, and boy is this going to be fun. I spent an hour this morning fiddling with OBDEleven and managed to enable a couple of neat features. I will update this thread with instructions soon

    DISCLAIMER: INFORMATION PRESENTED IS PURELY ACADEMIC AND SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ATTEMPT ANY OF THIS ON YOUR OWN CAR YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    My Car:
    Tiguan Highline 2.0 TSI 4Motion | Build Week 10 2017 | Discover Media Nav | ACC with TJA, Lane Assist, Side Assist, etc.

    1) Wifi (connect and hotspot)
    I have Discover Media with Nav. By all accounts, WiFi should only be available on Discover Pro. It is enabled and working on my Tig. It can connect to my iPhone's hotspot, and my iPhone can connect to the car. Next up will be enabling online services to work when the Tig is connected to my phone.

    Step 1: 5F Information Control Unit -> Long Coding -> byte_24_WLAN_Module -> activated (default Not activated)
    Step 2: 5F Information Control Unit -> Adaption -> Vehicle configuration -> WIFI_Hotspot -> on (default off)


    2) New Discover Skin
    Yup, my Discover now looks like the new generation headunits. This is particularly cool since the grid layout makes more sense, but I hate the glass screen on the new units. This gives the best of both worlds. There are a couple of options to choose from. This is option 5.

    Process: 5F Information Control Unit -> Long Coding -> byte_17_Skinning -> Skin_5 (Default is Skin_1)
    Click image for larger version Name: Skin.png Views: 1 Size: 556.9 KB ID: 1867173

    3) Gold AID Theme
    Pretty simple, looks great. (followed NZ_GolfR's how-to)

    Process: 17 Dash Board -> Adaption -> Display depiction -> Version 3 (Default is Version 1)

    4) High Beam Assist
    My Tig has the basic LED lights, and this works just fine.

    Step 1: 09 Central Electrics -> Adaption -> Fernlicht_assistent -> Erweiterte_Fernlichtsteuerung -> AFS, FLA, Fernlicht ueber AFS (default AFS, Fernlicht ueber AFS)
    Step 2: 09 Central Electrics -> Adaption ->Fernlicht_assistent -> Menuesteuerung Fernlichtassistent -> Present (default Not present)
    Step 3: A5 Front Sensors Driver Assistance System -> Long coding -> AFS_coding_Light_Assist -> High_Beam_Assist (default no_Light_Assist)

    5) CarNet and Media Control
    I have got bot of these coded and showing up in the menu. Carnet tries to connect but fails (I don't think this will ever work owing to registration requirements) and media control connects from the phone but gives an error that it has not been enabled in the car. Will continue working on this one.

    6) Traffic Sign Recognition
    Showing under Car settings. Need to do the coding in the A5 module to enable it. Will report back.

    7) Acoustic Lock/Unlock
    Dead simple and gives extra assurance when locking/unlocking from a distance. Appears as an option in Car settings.

    Nice one. Care to share the coding for the new Discover Skin? Keen to see if this works on mine.

        Tried the New Discover Skin but doesn't work on mine (think I had already played with that coding when I was changing the AID skin) all it does is align everything to the right:



        I notice that mine is a totally different part number to your so it is possible that only works on the new model or it could be mine needs a software update.

          Hi. There seems to be some cool features you can enable with the right tech and know how - but for a novice it seems a bit much - and I worry I'd brick my Tig. Is there anyone who does this for a fee?

            Is yours Disco Pro or Media?

              Discover Pro with DYNAUDIO, don't know if that makes it a different model number.

                It would as mine is Discover Media with Nav. Do you have several options to choose from under skin in long coding?

                  That would explain it, I just assumed yours was the Discover Pro as well. Yes, there are quite a few different skins options (7 I think from memory). I will have a play with the others later and see if any do a layout like this.

                    I couldn't justify the $4500 cost for Pro. I have no need for a hard drive, and nav on one display is enough

                      Fair enough. I went R Line so came with the Discover Pro as standard. I really wanted DYNAUDIO (did a custom Alpine upgrade in my Golf R and didn't want to go backwards in sound quality) so decided to not go with sunroof and get this instead and save a bit of money.

                        I had Dynaudio in my CC..it was OK. Not a match for the HK setups I have had in previous cars. But, tbh the stock sound in the Tig is pretty damn good.

                          I read the earlier model VW with DYNAUDIO weren't that impressive but what is in the Tig is much better. I would say a big step up on the stock ones (had a few of them to drive now while the dealer has sorted out various things). The sub definitely packs a good punch!

                            When you guys load up your OBDeleven, is the correct model car shown (i.e 2017 MY tiguan R line)?
                            in 'my garage' mines showing up as the older car and i cant change it

                              Yes, mine came up with the correct model car although I did change the photo so it was a white R Line to match my car.
