VCDS Tweaks

[DV52]

So. Spent a bit of time last night making High Beam Assist work on a 2016 VW Passat Alltrack.

Step 4. Open Coding menu and look at the Current coding. Copy that fully and paste it into the New Coding window below. You need to change the coding from 1C to 1D as shown in the final version in the picture so you can see where 1D is and where yours will show 1C

mythik: It might be interesting to understand why your observational instructions have worked - I hope the following explains this!

If you look closer at your picture of the VCDS screen above, you will notice that your highlighted piece of the code-string for the BCM is the 5th & 6th digit from the LHS. This means that you have highlighted Byte 2 (remembering that the extreme left-hand-side pair of digits in your picture is Byte 0).

So, according to your instructions, your original Byte 2 value was hex1C, which has the equivalent binary value 0001 1100. And, you have changed the value of this byte to hex1D, which has the equivalent binary value 0001 1101. This means that you have altered Bits 0 and Bit 1 in Byte 2 (remember that in binary, the extreme RHS digit is Bit 0 and the extreme LHS digit is Bit 7)

Specifically, the change that you have made to Byte 2 is this:

• Original Bits 0-1 = hex0
• New Bits 0-1 = hex1

The Long coding Helper screen for Bits 0, Bit 1 on Byte 2 looks like this:



Translating the options into English yields this:

• hex0 =Halogen
• hex1=Halogen_main_beam_assist
• hex2=Xenon_AFS
• hex3=Xenon_AFS_and_main_beam_assist
• hex4=Bi-xenon_AFS
• hex5=Bi-xenon_AFS_and_main_beam_assist
• hex6=Bi-xenon_AFS_and_MDF_GLW

AFS, (Advanced Frontlighting System)-dynamic cornering light (via the cornering light CAN bus)
FLA (Main beam assist) Assistance system which supports the driver when changing from main beam to low beam headlights, in order to prevent dazzling other road users

hence -why your tweak works!!

That's the problem. With OBDeleven I guess you have this "tube version" option, but if you are using VCDS like me and a few others there is no "tube version" under adaptation. We only see "display depiction" which does not help to get the R clocks.

You’ll have to change the tube version to 3 (I think) to get the R clocks

As I’ve said dude, I’ve not got vcds, so really can’t help you on that, sorry

[DV52]

^^hmm............ VCP can find the adaptation channel!!




and so can OBD11





So why can't VCDS?

Does anyone who has found this illusive adaptation channel using a a non VDCS device , also have a VCDS device? If so, can they make an admap of the module @ address Hex17 and post it up here?

Would it be in German?
Röhrenversion

Let me check this tonight on VCDS. I want this one bad Thanks to both of you for trying to help Don and Jap.

Tube Version shows in the latest Beta of VCDS.

nope about Röhrenversion, I am using vcds 17.8.0. I will try to check with never version.

Hi Peps New Arteon owner interested in turn on some of German model features which are locked out. Happy to shout ya a carton of choice here on the Gold Coast.

[Wynnston]

So I wanted to enable the RGB colour change option for the instrument colours as per post 248 on this page
Mk2 Tiguan VCDS Tweaks

I followed the directions and I seem to only get 1 choice. I can also only select All Areas the Footwell or the Doors. All of the RGB settings are defined and the directions have been followed exactly.




Has anyone had any luck getting it to work with their Passat?

Hi Wynnston

Cold Boot MIB Unit
Hold down left button for 10 seconds (or so)
Wait for restart


Reset Background Lighting Setting in MIB
with MIB on, goto the below;
Menu > Vehicle > Settings > Factory Reset > Background Lighting > Reset

Then go into the Background Lighting settings, and the 10 colours you chose should be there.


This worked on mine

Hope this helps

[Wynnston]

Awesome!!! That did the trick. Now I'll set it to the funky display depiction 3 and it will look sweet as

Thank you for your assistance!

dont suppose you could send me a backup of your central electronics module?

Once my OBD11 arrives next week looking at turn on some of the self drive functions which are on the European Arteon. Such as fully automated adaptive cruise control, which automatically slows the car down according to the road signs and gps data eg bends etc. They are already recalling my car because the self driving function which pulls it over to the side of the road was turned off accidentally for our market. Any passat b8 out there interested to see if you can wake up this stuff in your cars ?

Yes, of course. Will attend carefully, since the Arteon features seem very interesting. Good luck and happy New Year!
