  1. Welcome You'll need to unplug the xenon range controller and recode the car for halogen lights. You'll also need to replace the headlight connectors, add extra wiring for manual range control and the dial to adjust it. What's wrong with the current bi-xenons? A used headlight from eBay or a breakers yard could be a better option?
  2. Yup, should be a 2 minute job with VCDS I expect this guide applies: https://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2011/08/26/rns-315-enable-the-hidden-bluetooth-carkit/
  3. Welcome Plenty on eBay if you look for RNS 315 mic. The only obvious UK seller is this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203128544900 There are some in Europe and China for cheaper but it'll depend how quickly you want it to arrive Given the mac isn't 00:00:00:00:00:00, that suggests it has a BT module built in and just needs activating. You can also activate BT before you fit the mic as your phone should connect but obviously nobody will hear you on calls
  4. From: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01539 Special Notes If Headlight Adjustment (Basic Setting) fails, check Level Sensors. Check Measuring Value Blocks (MVB) if Level Sensor Readings within Specification. When stored in combination with 01537, fix that one first. There have been reports of lowered vehicles displaying an error message in Basic Settings due to incorrect level sensor readings. If the vehicle height sensor(s) are bottomed out, it may be necessary to modify the sensor bracket to allow normal adjustment to occur. Check to make sure that the sensor arms do not have their pivots facing the wrong direction So if I were you, I'd check both level sensors are in good condition. Maybe take a picture of the rear one to check it's pointing out rather than in? It feels like one may be out of range preventing basic settings.
  5. In which case there isn't much you can do. If you change to an RNS-510 style Columbus, you'll also need a external BT module and wiring loom so it'll get expensive A better option would be a MIB PQ STD2 style Amundsen, you'll need an adaptor loom (52 pin to 40 pin quadlock), component protection removing and features activating. If you add an appropriate USB lead, you can also get Android Auto/CarPlay. They aren't super cheap but as probably the best OE headunit for the Yeti. @pab567 is a good chap to chat with about the MIB style versions.
  6. One quick google later.... 1K0 614 117 H is the hydraulic side, commonly fitted to the 1K0 907 379 P electronic side. From a VCDS scan: As you can see, it's a MK70 which tallies with my original thoughts. I think the correct ATE part is 10.0207-0054.4. At least based from this image:
  7. You should also add a full autoscan up for more context
  8. Do you know what kind of Amundsen you have fitted? I only ask as there are three and as I think your car is around 2015, it could be any of them! Might be worth adding a picture if you can.
  9. I've attached an Nov 2017 brochure for you. I went for a '245 edition' as I wanted heated seats and power folding mirrors. From the used stock available at the time, one had DCC as an extra so I chose that! Octavia Brochure Nov 2017.pdf
  10. VCDS works perfectly with a MK2 FL. It's certainly more than capable of clearing an airbag light. Regarding the second fog light tweak, that's because VAG moved the functionality from the long coding into the lighting configuration section of the BCM EEPROM. As VCDS can't access the BCM EEPROM, it can't enable the second fog
  11. It was genuine VW. A full genuine direct TPMS system for MQB cars (wiring, control module and 4 sensors) is about £100-150 at the moment so I'd consider that quite inexpensive If you pick the right sensors, they will auto configure within a few 100m if you swap the tyres round or do a summer <-> winter swap. Works quite well in my experience.
  12. If the direct TPMS detects a pressure loss, it'll also cause a warning light It also has settings for normal and full load, when combined with factory xenons (with level sensors) it was also able to detect the car was loaded (3 rear passengers) and then complained I hadn't upped the pressures to compensate
  13. G13 should be more pinky coloured: I think it's now been superseeded by G12 Evo: They are compatible and can be mixed
  14. I never once had an issue with the VAG direct system I retrofitted to my MK2 Octavia All four sensors agreed with each other and my pressure gauge which is good enough for me. When I did get a puncture, watching the pressure dropping certainly helps in planning how quickly I needed to pull over too. It's something I want to retrofit on my MK3 in the future as I quite like the extra info.
  15. Most people here tend to use VCDS or OBDeleven but both are more than £30. Where are you based? A local member might be able to reset the airbag light for you
  16. It's things like the backup, where to find/share it and traversing the history which would make a useful guide. When you've worked it out, a few screenshots in a thread would be a great resource to direct other OBDeleven users at It often feels like I get a virtual blank stare when I ask OBDeleven users for them
  17. My opinion (having never used it) is that as OBDeleven is cheaper and has a nice friendly app, it either attracts people that are less technical or lures people into not checking things. This is especially true with some of the 'one-touch' apps, they appear to have been tested against a single model year so messes up when applied to cars with slightly different configs. Ideally OBDeleven should do more checking to avoid this. The other issue is that it doesn't seem to lend itself to backing up configs or showing what changes have happened which makes helping people after the fact harder, even more so if they aren't able to share they current config apart from in random screenshots! Obviously it could just be user error but it seems common enough that OBDeleven should make changes to avoid it. As with most things, In the right hands, it can be a powerful and useful tool Thank you for the offer! If I need anything from a 2020 Octavia I'll drop you a message It'll mostly be if I'm trying to find a stock set of settings to help restore someone's car or if I want to know when a feature changed.
  18. Either a friendly dealer or you can pay for an hour on https://erwin.skoda-auto.cz/ and download the full PR-code list yourself
  19. It might be handy if you can confirm if it's an adaption channel or part of the lcode. If it's the former, the byte/bit would also help narrow it down. At least for lcodes, the label files are generated by the tool manufacture so there may be mistakes. Assuming the car works and there are no fault codes, feel free to try changing it. If you get a fault code (missing message) then it probably doesn't need enabling
  20. Pretty sure on newer cars you need a 'memory mirror motor' to get reverse dipping working properly. The difference is that standard motors have 3 wires to move it, a memory motor has an extra 4 so the door controller can see where it's pointing. Typically, they are only standard with electric seats. For reverse dip to work, it needs to be enabled in the infotainment and the mirror selector should be in the passenger mirror position. That'll be L for the UK and R for Spain. When in reverse, only the passenger mirror will dip, you can set the position whilst in reverse and it should pop back up when moving forwards.
  21. Direct systems using sensors should have a control module at address 65. If there is no control module, you definitely have in-direct ABS based TPMS.
  22. The compass is normally built into the satnav so without nav, you won't have one
  23. Completely normal after a software update Look through the adaption channels for "Confirmation of installation change" which should be a 4 digit code, you'll need to XOR it with C9D2 and re-enter the new code. You might need to put a space between the first two and last two digits. Random online helper: http://mib-helper.com/im-so-xory/
