No, that's a fault code scanner and reader only. You need to have a word with a member who has VCDS, who can switch the coming home and leaving home lights on.

You can find someone local to you from hee:

Mike, does the Octavia MK II vrs have the function Coming home lights but it's just turned off or am I thinking that the function has to be there in the first place??

Any thing else that can be turned On/Off ??

Thanks

Think that's it Mike, for the original version of Maxidot...

I was under the impression that you had to have the Auto Lights fitted to the Octy for the Coming Home function to work, is that not the case? I have a new vRS and would like the coming home function activated if at all possible but I only have standard lights.

No, not the case at all.

As mentioned, once the setting is activated in VCDS, it'll appear in Maxidot. Then you have control over whether it's on or off, and the time the lights illuminate for. The only difference I've found is without a light/rain sensor fitted to the car, LH/CH will activate whether it's dark outside or not.

Weird - I don't have synchronised mirror adjustment in my Maxidot menu on a L&K - just Coming/Leaving Home and Comfort Indicators

I have it on mine so I would have thought you should have had it too Andy. It is under the convenience menu, labelled mirror adjust IIRC.

How have you managed the cruise light Mike?

[andyvee]

My car has an option code of 6Y0 Without Cruise Control Warning System

So it looks like it is deliberately not provided on UK Spec vehicles of this age!

[Wardy]

Ah right, cheers guys. Thought it was the case and my best guess was that it works for Mike because of the later build of his retrofit cluster

I remember looking for the option before, but just wanted to check that it wasn't something that has now become available due to a later revision of VCDS.

Cheers,

Steve
