got my vrs last saturday nice options including xenons maxidot cruise etc.

right my question is have i got auto headlights and can they be turned off ?

whenever i get in the car and put the keys in ignition xenons come on - i havent got an auto headlight symbol on ma light switch dial so how do i get them to turn off - i feel like a volvo driver

i bought the car as i wanted something quick and stealthy and i didnt want to stand out drawing unnecessary attention to myself but it seems whenever i get in it im driving round looking like blackpool front.

any 1 help or point me in the right direction.

also is there a fix for annoying seatbelt bing bing bing - my old motor u plugged the seatbelt in 10x while keys in ignition and it stopped the bing just flashed up the warning light - doin ma box in .

other than that im quite happy ;-)

thanks in advance

You need to adjust the settings in VAGCOM your car is obviously set for daylight lights

Both the bong and lights can be sorted with a small bit of coding using vag-com.

The manual suggests that you may be able to do this normally. In fact, I'll be interested if it works as I'm wondering about whether my (soon to be delivered) car will have this problem.

Page 59: Deactivate function daylight driving lights

– Pull the turn signal light lever towards the steering wheel up to 3 seconds after switching on the ignition and at the same time, slide it to the bottom and hold it in this position for at least 3 seconds.

If that doesn't work, as others have said, it can be programmed by the dealer or through VAG-COM

Is this new or 2nd hand?

Sounds like someone's enabled scandinavian mode.

approved used m8

the other option is to just wear the seatbelt

yes m8 - ive bin driven with a seatbelt for 22 years - i dont need some f*@kin car tellin me to put it on every time i get in the car ;-).

no its cos i use my motor travelling between building sites that im working at on private land and the short journeys usaually 20-30 seconds transportin ma tools/parts from building to building doesnt warrant puttin ma seatbelt on every time i get in it and its startin to do ma nappa in

think i might invest in some ear plugs ;-) rant off

Even with the bong turned off, as mine is you will get a constant bonging as soon as you exceed a certain speed which is somewhere around 10mph.

took the car into dealer today for daytime driving lights deactivating and enabling of auto lock on drive away.

when ive gone out to the car tonight i seem to be missing the leaving home option on my maxidot - ive still got coming home option tho.

this wouldnt disappear because of having daytime driving lights disabled would it?

the option was definately there b4 they started messing with it. it took 4 mechanics to disable ddl - they were all scratching their heads.

charged me £20+vat for the privelege which i dont mind paying but not to lose features that i had within maxidot.

anybody shed any light 4 me ?

I like the bong. It makes me think the car cares.

Youngie, look at the diag forum, and vagcom owners map/list. i'm sure someone local could sort you out for free, or at worst a pint.
