Arteon VCDS / OBDEleven Tweaks - Confirmed working

Below are a list of confirmed VCDS / OBDEleven tweaks that work on the current Arteon.

Dynamic Road Sign Display



Ambient Light - add more colours

If you have a tweak that is working please post in this thread and PM me and I will update the list above.

I noticed they are selling the OBDEleven with an adaptor ($20 extra!) to fit the Arteon better. Does anyone have one and is it really required?

Would the Vag Com Hex v2 be better? I don't really care that I have to use a laptop.

I got the HEX-NET. The first half dozen or so times I used it, it was really hard to get into the port. But now it seems to go in just fine. When I used it on my wife's Superb, it clicked in really easy the first time from the get-go. So I don't know what the story was with the Arteon.

Yes you need the adaptor if you choose to go obd11 route

Love the difference it makes...I thought initially it was not such a dramatic improvement until reverted back to standard values for a few days. So worth the small outlay for the ODBEleven

Get on board!

Has anyone got this one? ($159.90) ..trying to decide which one to get- looking for relative ease of use and cost effectiveness..

Spend double this and get the proven to work VCDS cable.

You also have obdeleven as an option.

I got the VCDS cable and I'm happy with it.

Like wise here. You know that saying "tight arses pay twice"? LOL.

I spent the money and got a legit HEX-NET. Our last 2 cars were VW's, our current cars are VW and Skoda, and it's highly likely our next cars will be from the VW Audi Group. For me it was a worthwhile investment, plus I like having no limitations with tweaking. Also the VCDS software is updated regularly, and their forums have great support (for legit owners).

Just an update for what I have managed to get working and some notes:

TMC Traffic

1. Go into Module 5F - Information Control Unit
2. Select Adaptations, select "Fee-based traffic information (TMC)
3. Set value from 65535 to 1024
4. Make sure you enable traffic information in the radio, and set RDS region to automatic.
5. Wait for about half an hour and it will receive all the traffic messages. You can confirm that TMC is working looking at the information display where it will display the TMC logo.

Do you need to remove panel to fit obdeleven?? I purchase with extender adaptor and it doesnt fit.. not sure if im pushing hard enough.

I have the VCDS cable and it really have to push it.

It is definitely harder than other cars I have owned.
