VCDS Tweaks

[Dark975]

Hi. I want to disable the DRL when flashing high beams to have a Stroboscope effect. I saw videos of it online but never found the coding for Passat B8. I only found how to enable fog lights when flashing. Any help on that will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I followed the steps below from another page on here. I now have the 10 colours and they work on the dash. The only only thing i cant get to work is the LEDs in the doors. My question is, do the doors change colours in the Passat MY16 or are they white only. Is there a way of checking? I have changed the dials and the colours are there. I just cant figure the door leds out.


Steps:
Control unit: 5F Information Control Unit
Adaptations:
Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2: menu_display_ambient_illumination: activated
Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2: menu_display_ambient_illumination_over_threshold_h igh: activated

To get the cool dials in the AID

Control unit: 17 Dash Board
Adaptations:
Display depiction: Version 3
Tube_version: variant_4


Control unit: 09 Central Electrics
Adaptations:
Ambientelicht Farbliste: Rotwert Farbe 1: 144
Ambientelicht Farbliste: Gruenwert Farbe 1: 24
Ambientelicht Farbliste: Blauwert Farbe 1: 28
Change all colours up to 10, none can be R: 0, G: 0, B: 0 as none will work
I got the numbers for RGB from MS Excel (format cell > fill), but from other posts, Create Color Schemes, Test Color Combinations - Colorspire will give the same result.
Pick what colours you like, find the RGB, enter those numbers into Rewert (Red), Gruenwert (Green) and Blauwert (you guessed it, Blue)
My favourite colour is Maroon, so R, G, B is 144, 24, 28, but need to lighten the colour up a bit.


I also have the below settings active, again, not sure if they need to be or not, but they work.
Control unit: 09 Central Electrics
Adaptations:
Int. light, 2nd generation: weicher Farbwechsel: active
Int. light, 2nd generation: Instrumententafelbeleuchtung mehrfarbig: active
Int. light, 2nd generation: Mittelkonsolenbeleuchtung mehrfarbig: active
Interior light, light configuration: Ambiente_Applikationsleisten_in_Instrumententafel: installed
Interior light, light configuration: Mittelkonsolenbeleuchtung: installed
Interior light, light configuration: LIN-Dachkonsole lokal aktivierbar: active
Interior light, light configuration: Ambientemenue mit globalem aus: active
Interior light, light configuration: Ambientemenue mit alle Zonen: active
Interior light, light configuration: Ambient_Farbliste_HMI: active
Interior light, light configuration: Frei_Farbwahl_ueber_HMI: active


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 you can go into Menu > Vehicle > Settings > Background Lighting
You should have 10 colours at the bottom to choose from, select a colour, and both the MIB and AID change to that colour. If not, there may be a 3 colour small box to the right at the bottom. This doesn't change the Interior Door Lights, as on mine, they are just white.


I've seen a couple of people on all forums have dramas with this, so thought i'd try to figure it out. Some of this is lifted from other guys posts, zloybob (via NZ_GolfR), so thanks.

Door Lights are just White for MY16-17, not sure about models after that

looks like it, i know someone did it on their MY 17 passat

My MY18 has only white light strips in the door panels

i'm sure i read on another post that someone with a MY17 passat changed the colours

[5paul0]

I think what happened VW Australia in their infinite wisdom to keep cost down (or is it profits up) decided to import only white LED's in the door cards. This fits with other things that are missing compared to VW Passats that are available in some parts of the world.

Having a problem with driver seat memory function.....it is throwing an error that i can see through ODB11, when i clear error it comes back again...memory function has stopped working, i would like to try and avoid going to a / any dealer

So today I tried to activate traffic sign recognition through OBDEleven. I tried using their App that uses credits. Not supported. I guess this is why I couldn't do it via long coding either. Strange as others with very similar car have done it. Car is MY18 Alltrack Wolfsburg.

If it's throwing an error it might be helpful to post the exact error...

Hi guys

Tried to activate the traffic sign recognition with VCDS on a VW Passat, MY2018, from NZ, with the front camera A5. But even the coding is correct, it doesn't work... There aren't some errores messages, but the camera doesn't recognise the traffic signals. Is there a main problem with this coding in NZ / Australia? Because in Germany it works without any problems...

Any ideas or somebody who were able to activate it?
