Golf MK7 Coding and adaptations

[rickard]

Hi all!

I got my mk7 a week agoo, and it didn't come with the lightsensor. So i bought a lightswitch with a sensor built in, so now i have The Ch/Lh feature. But it seems i cant change from parkinglight to lowbeam or fog Light (got the halogen lights), and when i lock the car The inner taillights doesn't light up, only when i unlock. Is this something i cant change becouse i only have the sensor in the lightswitch?

Sorry for my rusty english, and I hope i posted this in the right spot.

Greetings from sweden!

Hi all, I have DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) and I installed Bilstein coilovers with an independent control switch. Now the car doesn't see the OEM suspension and has a warning light on the dash.

The shop was unable to find out how to resolve this. Hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Personally I fitted the KW Setup which plugs into the DCC system.

They do sell a cancellation system www.kwsuspensions.com/products/kw-suspensions/cancellation-kits.html

The last time this came up on the Passat forum forum.obdeleven.com/thread/12012/dcc-deactivation the solution seemed to be

Remove DCC with the "Gateway List Coding" function of OBDeleven and unplug the control unit for the DCC, but no idea if that works or what it does to the car mode systems.

[workerone]

That's really helpful. Thank you!

Good evening everyone, I need a lot of help from the community:D

I own a golf 7.5 from 2017 in which I installed a switch with "auto" function controlled by a small twilight and it also acts as a coming / home opening and closing very well.

Since I love to leave this switch on "auto", when it gets dark and I turn off the car and i open the door, the buzzer of the lights starts to sound and the car signals the lights on, even if they are off. This is a little annoying and I would like to eliminate it.

I found a coding about it on the web, but for Audi S4 and VW tuareg. And it is this:

Disable "Lights are on" Warning
[09 – Cent. Elect.] [Coding - 07] -> Long Coding Helper -> Byte 5
Bit 3 - Set to 0 to disable "lights are on" warning

Unfortunately on golf 7.5 I don't have access to the long coding on "coding 07" because I have all zeros but surely this coding has been moved to adaptation.

Is anyone able to tell me the module to be modified on adaptation and the parameters to silence the buzzer and make the lights switch off error disappear? Thank you all

Hello,

Does any1 know what could be problem with using fog lights with indicators. I used app ''turn lights with fog lights'' for my mk7 gti. I also use fog lights with my DRL. But with indicators only right side fog is blinking with indicator, left one doesn't blink with indicator.

[martinhoban]

Anyone know the default coding for MK7 R tail lights. I was changing some things related to the urban joker app and when I set it back to normal/standard I must have made a mistake along the way which I cannot seem to revert. The outer LEDs on both sides now pulse with the indicators. Essentially the outer tail light is working as an indicator.

[dv52 (Australia)]

martinhoban: Urban joke is intended for North American Region cars where the outer lights do exactly as you describe. Sounds like you are NOT from USA.

Do you have a pro license? If so, post up pictures of Leuchte20BR LA71

dv52 (Australia) Hi Don, thanks for getting back to me. I fixed the initial issue but below is the background to the issue I currently have.


I am based in Ireland and have a 2016 Golf MK7 R. I was using OBDeleven to code some stuff like "Urban Joke" and "Front DRL Pulse" just to see what that feature looked like then returned to original values after as I did not like the overall look. I am getting U101400 - Control module incorrectly coded now on a full scan and also sometimes the indicator clusters hyper flash. I have attached the error log and a full back of my central electrics. I am wondering does anyone know the default factory coding for both front and rear lights so I can compare and get to the route of the issue.

[martinhoban]

dv52 (Australia) I came across this thread forum.obdeleven.com/post/30948/thread where you provided the factory coding. I made all these changes and now my tail lights are back to factory but I am still getting the same error code on a scan and the hyperblink indicator clusters which leads me to believe that issue maybe with my headlights. Would you have a copy of the ROW (Ireland) factory coding for Golf R headlights.

[dv52 (Australia)]

martin:Alas - no, your headlight coding is "special".  Please make a fresh back-up of just the central electrics and post-up

Don

[martinhoban]

dv52 (Australia): Understood. I am happy with the way the headlights are working anyway. Please find backup attached. Still trying to figure out what is causing the error code and hyperflash clusters.

Try this:
Lichtfunktion C 18 > not active (Heckdeckel offen)
Lichtfunktion C 18 > not active (Heckdeckel offen)

[martinhoban]

dv52 (Australia) : I tried this but no luck Am I correct in saying that these values are for the tail light illumination when the trunk is open? Does any of the other values look unsual to you.

[dv52 (Australia)]

martin - yes, it is the boot open function.

The only other "unusual" settings (to me) that relate to the turn-signal function appear to be the fact that the front blinkers are programmed to also operate as DRL/Parking Light  (so-called "US DRLs"). I'm not sure if this is the cause - but you could try changing to the set-up below and see if this stops the problem

Left-side Front Turn Signal
Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36
Lasttyp 0 > 33 - LED-Modul Blinkleuchten
Lampendefektbit Position 0 > 34
Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 0 > 14
Lichtfunktion A 0 > Blinken links Hellphase
Lichtfunktion B 0 > not active
Dimmwert AB 0 > 127
Lichtansteuerung HD AB 0 > Always
Lichtfunktion C 0 > Blinken links Dunkelphase
Lichtfunktion D 0 > not active
Dimmwert CD 0 > 0
Dimming Direction CD 0 > minimize
Lichtfunktion E 0 > Tagfahrlicht
Lichtfunktion F 0 > Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslicht; Positionslicht; Begrenzungslicht)
Dimmwert EF 0 > 80
Dimming Direction EF 0 > maximize
Lichtfunktion G 0 > not active
Lichtfunktion H 0 > not active
Dimmwert GH 0 > 0
Dimming Direction GH 0 > maximize

Right-side Front Turn Signal
Leuchte1BLK VRB20
Lasttyp 1 > 33 - LED-Modul Blinkleuchten
Lampendefektbitposition 1 > 3E
Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 1 > 15
Lichtfunktion A 1 > Blinken rechts Hellphase
Lichtfunktion B 1 > not active
Dimmwert AB 1 > 127
Lichtansteuerung HD AB 1 > Always
Lichtfunktion C 1 > Blinken links Dunkelphase
Lichtfunktion D 1 > not active
Dimmwert CD 1 > 0
Dimming Direction CD 1 > minimize
Lichtfunktion E 1 > Tagfahrlicht
Lichtfunktion F 1 > Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslicht; Positionslicht; Begrenzungslicht)
Dimmwert EF 1 > 80
Dimming Direction EF 1 > maximize
Lichtfunktion G 1 > not active
Lichtfunktion H 1 > not active
Dimmwert GH 1 > 0
Dimming Direction GH 1 > maximize

If the change doesn't work - try removing the US DRL function entirely like this:

Left-side Front Turn Signal
(1)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lasttyp 0 > 33 - LED-Modul Blinkleuchten
(2)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lampendefektbit Position 0 > 34

dv52 (Australia): I tried the above and didn't work so you were correct to be unsure that it was the issue. I somehow think it still maybe related to the tail lights as the error code suggests so even though I have it coded back to standard. Would you know if the "Urban Joke" app would have changed any values outside the normal ones like is there a difference between the standard and original setting from the list. Also to note the hyperflash does not happen every time. It is random but it still occurs often.

[dv52 (Australia)]

martinhoban : OK, this ain't rocket science - I'm determined to fix this! One more time - try this:

Leuchte24SL HRA65 and Leuchte23SL HLC10

• Lasttyp > 34 - LED Bremsleuchten (currently 33 - LED-Modul Blinkleuchten)

Don

[martinhoban]

dv52 (Australia): You absolute legend! Fault code and hyperblink gone. The moral of the story, don't mess around with Apps. I have learned at lot about my car and coding from this it wasn't all bad. Cheers Don!

[golfwagwan]

Hi guys

Noticed the other day that my rear lights that i coded some months back sucsessfully with Scandinavian DRLs (so both the tailgate and the outer lights shine while ignition is on) has stopped working in semi with the left tailgate. It worked just fine until like a week or two ago.... i have made sure that everything is in working order and nothing is broken so i have come to the only conclusion that its some coding problem thats dooing it.

I opened ODB11 and un-did the coding i had done previously ( DV52, urban joke, and the Scandinavian drls) i undid that all and re-did it but now only my outer taillights work but not the inner, not even the left tailgate is working as drl now like it did before...

What can have created this?


Im not getting any error messages when scanning with odb11 or on the cars interphase. And the brakelight, reverselight and the dv52 bliking works but not the drl part...



Thanks

[dv52 (Australia)]

@golfwagan: I'm not sure that I understand - You used BOTH Urban Joke and DV52 tails apps? These are alternatives, they don't (won't) operate together.

Plus - Urban Joke is meant for incandescent tail-light fittings on USA cars and DV52 tails are meant for incandescent lights on Rest-of-world model cars. So again, the two aren't intended to operate together

Don

[golfwagwan]

Aah yes that might be it then, i will remove this previous mods that might be interfering with the Scandinavian DRL, the Urban Joke was done the in the first couple of weeks of getting the odb11 so i was basically just playing arround not really knowing whst was what to be honest but my scandinavian drls was working for 6 months until i was trying to setup my faulty LED bulbs and after coding back to Halogen again thats when i lost the function on my right tailgate.

Thanks don i will do it properly this time over and see if it fixes it.

[golfwagwan]

Dv52 i got it sorted by setting everything regarding the rear taillights back to stock mode and then re-code back the Scandinavian DRL and now they are back to normal...kinda miss the dv52 function with the rear indicators flashing in coordnation with the rear brakelights tho since it looked great 😎

Hi all,


I have golf mk7 4/2016. A colleague from work tried to deactivate the Start-stop function. Apparently he didn't know what to do, because the result is a broken light in the button. Start-stop works normally, when deactivated the button does not light up yellow. He did it by coding in VCDS. I bought OBDeleven and I want to fix it. But with VCDS, there are labels for the bits when encoding, but not with OBDeleven. A colleague is ill for a long time, he can't fix it.

Don't know where this feature is to deactivate Start-stop signaling? Can anyone advise?


I apologize for the poor English.

Thank you all.

[dv52 (Australia)]

rosti : Hi. First, ain't nothing wrong with your English - it's perfect (I wish that I could write like you in an other language)!!

As for your problem- I've not come across this problem before, so I'm intrigued!

Here is a diagram of how the Start Stop (SS) button is wired on a mk7:

The light that you say is a problem is the one connected to pin#7 on the button. "J519" in my diagram is what OBD11 calls central electric module - Notice how this light is directly controlled by the central electric module.

So - to proceed, I first need you to answer these questions:

1. What country are you from?
2. What platform do you use to run OBD11; Android, or iOS?
   
3. You mention that your friend made modifications to the car with VCDS and you imply that the changes related to long-code. I say "imply" because you only talk about "labels" and "bits". This kind-of implies that your friend didn't change any adaptation channels. Am I correct in making this conclusion?
4. If my assumption above is correct, then there are a few different modules that your friend could have altered. Do you have access to the laptop that your friend used when he/she made the VCDS changes?
5. Unfortunately, the build date of your car is in the period where VW made major changes to the structure of the database in the central electrics module. Around this time, the long-code string on this module disappeared. When you access this module with OBD11 and you select Long coding, is the value of the long-code string a series of zeros- or is it a string of different alpha/numbers?
   

Don

[rosti]

Hi Don,


The problem seems to be solved. I was looking for a fault in the Gateway unit, the Start stop is blocked there. Thanks to you, I searched the Central Electric unit and found this




I enabled both items and the signaling works.

I'll ask, can I use the activation procedure Traffic Sign Assist. I have this unit



I am from the Czech Republic, the car was driven in Germany and I use Android.

Thanks, Rosti

[dv52 (Australia)]

rosti: Probably yes - maybe! Read HERE

[rosti]

Hi,

OK, thank you very much. I will try and let you know.

dv52 please, did you read my message? I would be very grateful if you could help me thanks

[dv52 (Australia)]

matt89s : Hi

So - try this:

1. Go to central electrics module
2. Select adaptation
3. In the search box, enter "uebergr" and select Außenlicht_uebergreifend
4. Select Fahrlichtwarnung_Hinweis_Konfig ( which means "Driving light warning note configuration")
   
5. There are 4 x allowable options for this channel as follows (note: LDS = LichtDrehSchalter=Rotary-Light-Switch)
   1. Kein Hinweis - No warning note
      
   2. Hinweis in LDS-Stellung Null - warning note when LDS is in 0 position
      
   3. Hinweis in LDS-Stellung SL - warning note when LDS is in Parking-light/Side-light position
      
   4. Hinweis in LDS-Stellung Null und SL - warning note when LDS is in 0 position, or in Parking-light/Side-light position

[matt89s]

Good evening dv52.

Thank you for listening to me and you are trying to help me, you are a friend.

I tried to insert the code "Kein Hinweis - no warning note" but unfortunately the buzzer continues to sound.

Do you have anything else in mind?
