Golf MK7 Coding and adaptations

[Kye]

Hi again Don

I would like the footwell slider option to turn on/off the indicators which I want to use as us style parking lights

I understand they won't be dimmable just on and off

This is not legal in the U.K that why I need the footwell option for on/off so I can use at car meets only

[Daniel (Germany)]

Irs also not legal in germany. But whatever. I post the coding a few post before. It has to work. I did it by myself at a mk7 gti.

[Kye]

Thanks Daniel but this is a R and these are leds so don't want to risk wrong coding

Any help Don with golf R indicators as parking lights and use footwell switch to control on/off


Many Thanks

Hello,

I'd like to see if a few things are possible with OBDEleven and would like to know if anyone has any insight on how to change/enable some of these things:

- Is it possible to have the rear back up camera alert sooner than it currently does when you're too close to an obstacle?
- Is it possible to turn off the nav alert to find gas stations when you're low on fuel?
- Can you get your current range on your fuel level to show on the driving data screen?
- When I get out of my car and hit the lock/unlock button on the door, nothing happens. I have the KESSY system. Is there an ability to alter this so it will lock when pressing the button?
- How do you disable ESC/traction control entirely?  I'd like to change the behavior of the traction control button when it is pressed.  I'd like it to be Sport upon first press, then disabled entirely with a long press.

I realize several of these are impossible. I'm curious as to the limits of this tool, though.

Thanks!

Kye: I don't have an adaptation channel map for the Central electric module for a UK Golf R in my database, but I do have a map for an Aussie Golf R and a German Golf R and both have the same setup for the front turn signals.  So - I assume that these cars are set-up the same as yours.

From what I can read of Daniel's instructions,  the Leuchte-sets for the front turn signal lamps on the two Golf R's in my database appears to be compatible with his settings

I suggest that you check first to confirm that your current settings are as follows:

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
(3)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 0 > 14
(4)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion A 0 > Blinken links Hellphase
(5)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion B 0 > not active
(6)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Dimmwert AB 0 > 127
(7)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtansteuerung HD AB 0 > Always
(8)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion C 0 > not active
(9)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion D 0 > not active
(10)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Dimmwert CD 0 > 0
(11)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Dimming Direction CD 0 > maximize
(12)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion E 0 > not active
(13)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion F 0 > not active
(14)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Dimmwert EF 0 > 0
(15)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Dimming Direction EF 0 > maximize
(16)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion G 0 > not active
(17)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion H 0 > not active
(18)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Dimmwert GH 0 > 0
(19)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Dimming Direction GH 0 > maximize

Right-side Front Turn Signal
(1)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lasttyp 1 > 33 - LED-Modul Blinkleuchten
(2)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lampendefektbitposition 1 > 3E
(3)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 1 > 15
(4)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion A 1 > Blinken rechts Hellphase
(5)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion B 1 > not active
(6)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Dimmwert AB 1 > 127
(7)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtansteuerung HD AB 1 > Always
(8)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion C 1 > not active
(9)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion D 1 > not active
(10)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Dimmwert CD 1 > 0
(11)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Dimming Direction CD 1 > maximize
(12)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion E 1 > not active
(13)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion F 1 > not active
(14)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Dimmwert EF 1 > 0
(15)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Dimming Direction EF 1 > maximize
(16)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion G 1 > not active
(17)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion H 1 > not active
(18)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Dimmwert GH 1 > 0
(19)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Dimming Direction GH 1 > maximize

If these settings are confirmed, implement Daniel's instructions.

Range should be on be default on the MFA, or do you mean in the MIB/Infotanment system?

When you hit the lock button, you mean the on inside on the door or on the key? No VAGs will lock from the door button if the drivers door is open. KESSY should auto lock/unlock as you approach or leave the car. You can also tap the dimple in the handle to manually lock once the door is closed or use the FOB.

Coding for ESC is

03 ABS

07 Long coding

Choose byte 29



If you change byte "29" to....

05 - the button options are ESC ON/ASR Off/ESC OFF

06 - Button options: ESC ON/ESC SPORT / ESC OFF

09 - Stock

Hi all, I've not found an answer so far, perhaps somebody can help. On my 15 golf r the gear stick switches from auto to manual when you click the stick to the side, can this be reprogrammed to remain in auto but just change the driving mode to race mode, is this possible? If so how?

Chris: I suspect that you have not been able to find "an answer so far" because there ain't an answer!!

I would be delighted to be proven wrong, but I believe that the function that the gear-stick performs when moved side-wards is set by the firmware in the Auto-transmission module @ address hex02. Alas, I don't  think that it's set by an adaptation channel, or a code Byte/Bit.

OBD11 can't alter firmware programming inside a module - even if you were able to identify the correct piece-of-code to change (alas)

Found the option under 'Access 2' I think instead of ZV Komfort. Seems to work!

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.  

In regards to: "Range should be on be default on the MFA, or do you mean in the MIB/Infotanment system?"

I'm not sure if you mean the range I mentioned for the back up camera or the range as in fuel range.

Either way, I don't have a response to either.
1) is it possible to have the car alert sooner when reversing and you're too close to an obstacle.

2) Can you add in a fuel range on the dashboard in the driving data screen?

3) Is there a way to turn off the box which shows on the infotainment system to locate gas stations when you're low on fuel?

And one new question:
4) The options for convenience unlocking are vehicle side/one door/all doors.  I'd like only the front driver's and passengers side doors to unlock when I unlock it -- the rear doors I'd like to remain locked.  Is there an option to code this?

Thank you for the options on ESC coding!

The MFA is the multi function display, that's the display in the middle of your dash that you're referring to in #2.

To answer your questions:
1- Sorry can't answer, I don't have this feature.
2- This should be enabled by default, at least it is on my TDI (but we're milage nuts lol). I'll check my codings later & see if I can find anything for ya.
3- Sorry no nav, but I'm sure there is.
4- I don't think this is possible.

Have fun with the ECS off! Shoot me a PM if ya like & I can try to help with your other questions.

Can someone guide me the settings for mk7 GTI led fog lights on with low beam?

Prefer the led fog lights turn on with low beam instead of pulling the switch out in "Auto" position. Thanks

2. Select security access
   
3. Enter the magic number 31347
   
4. Select adaptation

8. Select Lichtfunktion B 13 - ONLY IF THE DEFAULT SETTING IS not active, change to Abblendlicht rechts (don't confuse this leuchte-command with "Abbiegelichts rechts")
   

Note: I have designed this tweak so that the front fogs switch on with low-beam (because this is what you requested. However, an alternative and perhaps better arrangement is to trigger the fog lights with the Parking lights - because these are also switched on with low beams. If you want to engage the fog lights when the parking lights are turned-on replace Abblendlicht links/rechts with

Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslicht; Positionslicht; Begrenzungslicht) on both channels above

Thank you so much, Don.

Will try to code it and get back to you soon!

Hi Don, I've coded it and it works perfectly.

However, may I know if it is possible to pull out the switch to disable the fog lights(opposite from the stock settings)?

ryan: Hi

If you are referring to the "inner dot", then try this (note the value in brackets is the default factory setting):

Leuchte9FL RB2 - right side "inner dot"
Lichtfunktion C 9 > Tagfahrlicht (not active)
Dimmwert CD 9 > 127 (0)

Leuchte8FL LB39 - left side "inner dot"
Lichtfunktion C 8> Tagfahrlicht (not active)
Dimmwert CD 8 > 127 (0)

Hi Don, that code worked perfect as always. I wonder if I could pick your brain about another question.

Is it possible to turn the 2 U's completely off as DRLs. I thought I knew how to do it by just dimming them to 0 but when I tried this they still stayed on.

This is the code I follow to try turn them off by dimming them to 0

1. Leuchte VLB10
2. Dimming CD2 and change from 26 to 0.
(26 was the standard value)

Should this turn the 2 U's off altogether?

Will post a picture of what it actually is im looking for. As always your help is much appreciated.

 Ryan:  I always like it when forum colleagues take the initiative to  answer their own questions - it shows a willingness to learn and a capacity for risk taking (both excellent attributes) - respect!

 Yes, you are on the right track, but you need to understand that your car has 35 x Leuchte-sets (a Leuchte-set being a bunch of 19 x adaptation channels with the same "Parent" name) and each  of these sets is separated into 4 x "Alfa-pairs" (and a lamp set-up section).  At its most basic level -the anatomy of a Leuchte-set can be simplified into the following skeletal structure:



If I've been successful in explaining how a Leuchte-set is organized, you can hopefully see the inherent sub-groupings in the picture. Each Alpha-pair allows the programmer to allocate 2 x lighting functions (i.e. "Lichtfunkion") to the lamp and the lighting function-pair is then controlled by the dimming (i.e. Dimmwert) and Dimming Direction values. See - it isn't that difficult to understand a Leuchte-set !

For your DRLs, the boffins @ VW head office have programmed the following functions into the Leuchte-set:

• Daytime running lights using the Tagfahrlicht command)
• Parking lights using the Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslicht; Positionslicht; Begrenzungslicht) command
  
• Single Sided Parking Lights using the Parklicht links (beidseitiges Parklicht aktiviert li & re) command on the left-side and Parklicht rechts command on the right-side
  

So - armed with this basic piece of new knowledge, have another look @ the Leuchte-set for the DRL lamps (Leuchte2SL VLB10 = left-side,  Leuchte3SL VRB21 =right-side) and tell me how to solve your own question and why your valiant first attempt above was not successful

Will post a picture of what it actually is im looking for. As always your help is much appreciated.

 Ryan:  I always like it when forum colleagues take the initiative to  answer their own questions - it shows a willingness to learn and a capacity for risk taking (both excellent attributes) - respect!

 Yes, you are on the right track, but you need to understand that your car has 35 x Leuchte-sets (a Leuchte-set being a bunch of 19 x adaptation channels with the same "Parent" name) and each  of these sets is separated into 4 x "Alfa-pairs" (and a lamp set-up section).  At its most basic level -the anatomy of a Leuchte-set can be simplified into the following skeletal structure:



If I've been successful in explaining how a Leuchte-set is organized, you can hopefully see the inherent sub-groupings in the picture. Each Alpha-pair allows the programmer to allocate 2 x lighting functions (i.e. "Lichtfunkion") to the lamp and the lighting function-pair is then controlled by the dimming (i.e. Dimmwert) and Dimming Direction values. See - it isn't that difficult to understand a Leuchte-set !

For your DRLs, the boffins @ VW head office have programmed the following functions into the Leuchte-set:

• Daytime running lights using the Tagfahrlicht command)
• Parking lights using the Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslicht; Positionslicht; Begrenzungslicht) command
  
• Single Sided Parking Lights using the Parklicht links (beidseitiges Parklicht aktiviert li & re) command on the left-side and Parklicht rechts command on the right-side
  

So - armed with this basic piece of new knowledge, have another look @ the Leuchte-set for the DRL lamps (Leuchte2SL VLB10 = left-side,  Leuchte3SL VRB21 =right-side) and tell me how to solve your own question and why your valiant first attempt above was not successful

Hi Don, thanks for the info. I will have another look into it tonight.

I have my DRL's set to have the option of on/off in the media unit using the following settings if it helps

09 - Central Electronics
Adaptation - 10
(2)-Daytime running lights-Tagfahrlicht Aktivierung durch BAP oder Bedienfolge moeglich- set to active
