VCDS Adaptations. How do I ..........

[Gizmo]

Briskoda, myself and Ross-Tech can accept no liability for any damage you do to any vehicle whilst carrying out any adaptations, these adaptations are working perfectly in many cars, but we cannot possibly guarantee they will work in every car made for every market.

Any changes you make are done entirely at your own risk.

 

For those users that want to help make VCDS even better then please feel free to e-mail Ross-Tech a copy of your Auto-Scan

If there are no descriptions in the ‘Coding’ long code then Admaps would also be useful... Ross-Tech can then include further information in new software releases.

How do I display the large MPH display on my maxidot?
(needs the latest white maxidot display on newer cars - This may no longer work on some MY12 onwards cars, I tried to code a May 2012 SUPERB and a 2013 Yeti and it rejected the code... it has however worked on other 2013 cars!!)



You will need maxidot fitted to the car (as shown above) and someone with VCDS to change the country setting to Australia:


To set the country to Australia:

To change the country go to 17- Instruments and click on "Coding - 07"



Then click on "Long Coding Helper"


Finally under Bit 4 select "70 Country: Australia (AUS)"


Exit this screen and you will return to the previous screen (with the current & new coding displayed) you see that the long coding has changed, click on "Do it!" all will then be saved.

Once you have made the changes with VCDS you then need to go into the maxi-dot menu:

SETTINGS
Units,
"Consu/distance" change this back to mpg (GB), mi (as it defaults to 1/100km, km),

then

SETTINGS
"MFD data" and make sure the box for Digit.speed is ticked

You can also remove the KPH display and replace it with the outside temperature:

SETTINGS
and unticked the "ALT.speed dis." box (this will remove the KPH speed and replace it with the outside temp display)


The above adaptations have been made personally by myself on numerous Octavia MKII, Yeti and Superb MKII vehicles.

How do I enable 'staging'? (needle sweep when ignition is turned on, needs the latest white MFD on newer cars)

go to 17- Instruments and click on "Adaptation - 10"

On the drop down list find "staging" and activate it.

(screen shots may be added at a later date, but you really shouldn't need any more than the ones above)

[Gizmo]

How do I silence the telephone connection bong? (cars with OE Bluetooth)

go to 77 - Telephone and click on "Adaptation - 10"

[Gizmo]

How do I silence the automatic tailgate warning beeps? (Superb Combi with electric tailgate)

go to 6D - Trunk Elect and click on “Coding - 07"

Byte 1 Bit 5 “Tone Generator Installed” - untick this box.

[Gizmo]

How do I silence the seatbelt(s) warning bong? (CANBUS cars with longcoding)

go to 09 - Cent. Elect and click on “Coding - 07”

[shadley80s]

Needle sweep - absolutely no practical use at all but still makes me smile!

[Yearofthegoat]

My October '11 Superb (Elegance) does the needle-sweep thing. Makes me smile too. But, does it mean someone has been into the system with VCDS to enable this, or does it come as standard on some models?

[Gizmo]

No the Superb does it as std.

[Yearofthegoat]

Thanks, was just wondering, as it also has the footwell lights option. I hadn't until now had a car with footwell lights on while driving and it seems pretty weird to be able to see your feet while driving!

How do I display the large MPH display on my maxidot? (needs the latest white maxidot display on newer cars - THIS MAY NO LONGER WORK ON MY12 ONWARDS CARS, I TRIED TO CODE A MAY 2012 SUPERB AND IT REJECTED THE CODE!!)

This worked on my June 2012 octavia vRS, thanks

[Gizmo]

How do I enable the remote closing of the automatic tailgate? (Superb / Octavia Combi with electric tailgate)

go to 6D - Trunk Elect and click on “Security Access -16”
Enter the security code 12345
?Go to “Adaptation - 10”
(4)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch-Tap function for closing
Enter the New Value as Activate
Click DO It!
(4)-Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key-Tap function for closing

Enter the New Value as Activate
Click DO It!

Note there are two options:
“Touch function for closing" requires you to hold in the button until the door is closed. If you release the button the door motion will stop.
"Tap function for closing" just needs a single push on the button to close the door.

Thanks to wokwon for the coding

[Urban-Kodiaq]

So you can close tailgate from keyfob with coding?

Anyone in the Southwest got VCD that can do this for me?

[Gizmo]

Yes.... just the way it should have come out of the factory. (remote and centre console button).

[siekla]

the touch function is ok despite one thing - it always stops in the middle - and you have to press and hold the button again. The better option for me is a tap function - so just you press the button once. The only changewith this option is - that if you press the button for opening, and press it again - the tailgate will stop - and the next press will start closing instead of fully opening

I picked up my Yeti this week after a long delivery delay and while waiting I have been amusing mself by pulling a lot of VCDS info into one document for my own use. Well the Yeti came Wednesday and this morning bright and early I grabbed my VCDS and spent a happy 20 minutes tweaking the old bus the way I wanted. Here's the document - I hope it helps someone.

Please note that I've not tested all the codes, that these are from the forum and are other folks contributions (thank you all), that if you do any of this and as a result your car goes wonky it's your own fault, etc.

Hi DrPinball..

I've checked your document and I've cannot found the Byte 17 - Bit 0 description (under 09 - Cent Elect).

I guess this bit enable or disable cornering lights with the blinkers...

[cpa]

Here is my list for the cornering lights bits:

(1 => Enable, 0 => Disable)

Byte 12 - Bit 4 => Enable/Disable cornering lights activation time limited

Byte 14 - Bit 7 => Enable/Disable cornering lights via front fog lights

Byte 26 - Bit 6 => Enable/Disable Sharing Cornering Both Sides When Reversing

Byte 17 - Bit 0 => Enable/Disable cornering lights via blinkers

Edited 12 June, 2013 by cpa

[cpa]

I've been testing the Byte 17 - Bit 0 and doesn't seem to be for enable/disable cornering lights via blinkers. I've tried to edit my post, but I've not been able to do it... :(

[DrPinball]

Yep, having the same issue - I also found that when I enabled the cruise control display it cheerfully appeared once - and once only - never seen it since. This one has been widely reportrd as disabled now though. The other one that's foxed me to date is the teardrop wipe for the front windscreen, can't find it on the Yeti for love nor money.

[DrPinball]

I've been finding quite a few more tricks in VCDS recently including the elusive front teardrop wipe (I'll post that soon as it's on paper at the moment) and here is the correct coding to get a Amundsen+ RNS315 RVC low-line RGB Camera to work by correctly coding (in this case my Yeti) in a album that shows my £60 reverse RVC install (http://www.ebay.com/itm/RGB-Parking-Camera-for-RNS315-RNS510-810-RCD510-Rear-View-Reverse-Backup-Camera-/171036204250?pt=US_Rear_View_Monitors_Cams_Kits&hash=item27d28d5cda):-

Happy to help if anyone else want to take the plunge!

This did not work on my MY11 superb combi.

I will endeavour to see if there is another way to do this after I get my own VCDS.

Thanks for the advice/help though.

I don't think it works on pre FL cars. I have the same car including year as you and I couldn't get it to work. Only changes everything to KM's :-(
