Hello there,

I'm a new Octy II owner, on my 3rd day of ownership of a 2.0 Tdi PD DSG Elegance and loving it, had a Saab 93 before that was chipped upto 190bhp, but I'm having much more fun in this, and at least it stays put together, unlike the Saab buts that a whole new story!

I've been scouring the forums for a few days, and seriously thinking about investing in VAG COM, but before I do, I'm wondering if its possible to change / enable a few things, specifically I'm wondering about:-

- Coming Home Lights (is this an option in VAG COM, I think I read it is)

- Auto Headlights (I have auto wipers, again is this an option to enable in VAG COM or is extra hardware reqd, is it poss to retro fit)

- To set the doors to autolock when driving

- Set the n/s foglight to work

- Set the hazards to come on under heavy breaking

I'm hoping all these are possible via VAG COM, and if anyone is local I'd be very happy to bung a few quid youre way to help me out and let me see the system, its a lot of money to shell out without knowing what youre getting

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick, welcome

Have a look at the VAG-COM owners map and send a private message (PM) to whoever is closest to you.

- Coming Home Lights (is this an option in VAG COM, I think I read it is) Yes this can be be turned on and off with VCDS (new name for VAG-COM)

- Auto Headlights (I have auto wipers, again is this an option to enable in VAG COM or is extra hardware reqd, is it poss to retro fit) This will need extra hardware - light switch and sensors to activate it, we have it on our Golf and TBH i find it a PITA.

- To set the doors to autolock when driving Yes that can be done (anti hijack)

- Set the n/s foglight to work Yes

- Set the hazards to come on under heavy breaking Yes

HTH

Thats great news, thanks very much for the reply, sounds like VAG-COM / VCDS would be a good investment in the longer term!

I quite like Auto Headlights, had it on a few previous cars and now miss it :( Do you know if the extra hardware, switch and things can be retrofitted, and if there any links anywhere.. I cant see anything.

Best wishes
