2016 Skoda Citigo SEL

[TrevorG]

Hi I am new to the forum just picked up my new Citigo SEL in tungsten metallic its a 2016 model.

 

Can any body tell me the codes required to activate the following my dealer has told me if I can get the codes he will activate the options

 

1 automatic door locking when speed exceeds 10mph

2 cornering fog lights

3 come home lights.

 

Thank you

Hi there. All the codes are posted by Damo in the pinned thread at the top of the page on VCDS codes. Hope they do it for you mate. Do you have any pics? Love that colour. Enjoy! Andy.

[TrevorG]

Thanks Andy will take some pictures tomorrow and post them on site.

 

Copied the codes into word will take them to my dealer next week

Good luck with that Trevor. Can't wait to see the pics. Love that colour and the new SE L trim looks great. Andy. PS Is the colour an exact match for the dashboard?

[Auric Goldfinger]

Taking the codes to the dealer might not work. If the cornering fogs and CH/LH lights are a factory option with cost they might not do it for free.   :no:

 

Dealers don't use VCDS do they ?

[TrevorG]

Hi Guys the colour of the dashboard matches the outside colour and the fog lights are standard fit with this model. All the dealer said was if i provide the codes he will activate what he can

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forum Trevor, if you haven't already noticed, coming home and leaving home lights DO NOT work on the Citigo without first installing Auto-lights

Dealers use the VAS machine and will charge you. VCDS is your friend:)

Hi Davld where do I buy the auto light kit thanks Trevor.

Does the VCDS codes not work with the dealer software? Is the Vas system different Thanks Trevor?

Allegedly, the £16 Chinese VCDS knock-offs work nicely with the Citigo.

Thanks for the advice Trevor

Yeah VAS is different and dealers talk a certain amount of the smelly stuff too if they dont feel like doing stuff.

Theres a VCDS map on here. Sometimes finding a member, pm'ing them and asking them nicely for the cost if a few cans.. Works better.

Some lovely people on here that are always keen to help.

I've helped someone with this previously, it's difficult to explain so I'll give it a go

Finding the one you want is really difficult I'm afraid, I did find this, but it is €99 http://www.cars-equipment.com/www/en/shop/light-switch/auto-headlight-switch-light-sensor-for-2/

 

The reason why it's hard is because obviously all the interior switches and buttons illuminate Green so you of course want a Skoda switch, where as myself because I have changed the majority of the interior switch illumination to red so getting a Volkswagen one was a lot easier

 

I did look through eBay but couldn't find one

 

This is the exact one I got off eBay http://www.ebay.co.u...STRK:MEBIDX:IT 

 

A lot cheaper but it doesn't light up Green, only Red,

Hopefully that helps

 

To install it was easy, simply plug the existing loom into the box, hide the box behind the dash and run the sensor up the A-Pillar and stick it just out the top

 

To add Coming/Leaving home lights you need access to VCDS to get into the ECU to enable them (I suggest enabling "Tear Wipe" and "Auto lock after 5kmh" if someone is doing this for you for beer money  )

 

I sent that via PM to another user, you need to get the autolight switch with the big back box to it! There are 2 versions, one with (that fits) the back box and one without it (doesn't fit)

Are you sure? What if doing stuff is limited when VAS is used. Skoda doesn't even offer some functions as optional, which can be done by VCDS. Turning lights, coming home lights etc.

If mechanic wants to help you and uses his own VCDS, it's another thing.

By the way, I didn't need automatic lights to get coming home lights. VCDS was all I needed.

VCDS can do more than the dealers VAS and yes they always say they can't do things where everyone with VCDS can.

Hi does your speedo light up during the day we are finding it hard to see the numbers around the dial. When the headlights are on they are nice and clear.

[daveface]

Mine does, get brighter in the sun darker in the dark lol until you turn the lights on [emoji106][emoji3]

When speedo lights are off, it means day isn't bright enough for DRL. Citigo tries to tell that you should turn the driving lights on.

Simply clever. ;-)
