    Over here in the UK, it is very unlikely that a dealer will do any changes with VCDS, but I do not know what the position is in Kosova.

     

    Your best option is to find someone in your area with VCDS, though that may not be easy as there's no one on the map of members with VCDS near you.

     

    In fact, I already coded with VCDS and lane assist is working great. I know that there is an update for lane assist which upgrades the functionality to lane guidance and that the dealers can do that. However taking in consideration that i did not have initially the lane assist will the update work for me or will the dealer do an update for something that was not supposed to be enabled in my superb

  2. So to give an update pf the situation. I received finally an offer from dealer for reverse camera retrofit. They quoted eur 575 including installation.

     

    there are two downsize of the issue, they do not confirm if the camera is highline and this is the first time that they will retrofit the camera to a car. In this regard i need your opinions if it is worth to retrofit with above conditions.

     

    thank you

    I retrofitted highline Rear View Camera on my Superb MY 2017.

     

    In short, you will need this:

    • OEM Camera (3V0827566A)
    • OEM MQB Highline Camera Cable

    I ordered this OEM kit (http://www.cars-equipment.com/www/en/shop/rear-view-cameras-12/oem-highline-rvc-rear-view-camera/), but after I have received it, it turned out the package contains wrong cables.

     

    The photo and the instructions all show the correct cable, yet I received the wrong cable, which is used for old head units and not new Amundsen / Columbus units.

     

    I tried to contact the shop (sent many e-mails, called them, etc.) and they simply ignored my e-mails and calls (it's funny - they responded to my emails and questions I had before I placed the order, but after I have placed it and paid, they simply ignored me).

     

    I intentionally ordered the kit so I won't need to order the camera and cables separately, yet that didn't help because of the awful customer service at cars-equipment.com. Because of that, I would recommend you to order it from some other website (if you search around the forum, you will see many other people also had bad experience with that website - sadly I didn't do that before placing my order).

     

    This meant I needed to spent another 100 EUR even though a mistake was on their side to get the correct cables (http://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/rvc-parts-controlers-and-cameras/oem-mqb-highline-camera-cable-wire/).

     

    After you Install the camera, you will indeed need to code it using VCDS. Also be careful that the OEM camera you order already has a firmware for Superb 3 installed. If the firmware is not installed, you will need to flash it yourself and calibrate the camera which is quite involved.

     

    Thank you very much for this helpful suggestions. I was in dealer and they did not want to make the retro fit and than i went to a local garage where i received this strange reply regarding the need of an “camera module” beside the oem camera.

     

    so you also did not have the rear wiper right?

    It´s not an independent function, just a combination of DSG, Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control. It does not need to be activated with VCDS or in the Infotainment.

     

    In case that adaptive cruise control and lane assist is activated and my superb is in full stop, it states that acc is ready, so i have to pres gas pedal in order to kove the car. Also the lane assit is not active is low speeds

    I took delivery of a Sportline last Friday with ACC and the day after we travelled down to the Isle of Wight so was using the ACC. At some point near Southampton, the warning flashed up that front assist is unavailable and this has remained all week. Have tried turning it off on the infotainment, but warning light is still there.

    Will be taking it back to the dealer on my return. 

    Anyone else experienced this issue ? 

     

    Yeah had the same issue. The acc should be recalibrated. take it to the dealer.

    Finally got TSR working using Gizmo 68 instructions with a few changes. 

     

    Forget the coding changes on Byte 1 in A5 there is no option anyway.

     

    The only other change is in 

    Controller 5F (Information Electr.)

    07 - Coding

     

    instructions state

    Byte 24 Bit 6 - untick Traffic Sign Display (VZA) active

     

    leave this TICKED

     

    rebooted Columbus though not sure it's required and it seams to be working ok. 

     

    Went for for a quick drive around the village. Alarm comes on at pre defined setting. No pics as not safe while driving.

    "Byte 24 Bit 6 - untick Traffic Sign Display (VZA) active leave this TICKED"

     

    why leaving ticked? Any reason?

    Were you in Serbia? Because in Serbia TSR does not work. Tested.

     

    In fact i am in Kosova and also traveled to Albania to see if something changes. I will give a try to Macedonia or even to Bulgaria or Greece in next weeks. But i was sure that was something that i have done wrong and not something region related

    gony have you tried driving the car?

    Not all roads have TSR data for them. 

     

    Yes gizmo i tried driving the car in city and in highway. I also pass the border to see if it will work in neighbor country but no luck. I have passed several road signs though. I don't know if is something related to the region or something is missing in my coding. 

  9. Ok let me inform regarding my results :) i have activated refuel quantity, offroad mode, throttle response to audi, lane assist, door lock on slam etc.

     

    i have activated also traffic sign recognition however i have following remark ( see photo).

     

    i dont know what the problem is. Does anyone have experience for this?

     

    Worth to mention that i did not activate the following code hence there were no option in my superb

     

    Controller A5 (Front / front view camera)

    07 - Coding

    Byte 1

    Bit 0 Enable - "01 traffic sign recognition (FTE) active"
