Cornering Lights

[Feebet]

Has anyone had the cornering lights enabled on their Citigo ? Is this only possible at the dealers and would this be chargeable or a freebie ?

Thanks in advance.

Is this an option?

[Taylor93]

I didnt think it was

[Hetzer-NLD]

It is not an option, offered by Skoda, but is is an option wich you can activate !!!

Witch VAG-com / VCDS you can activate cornering lights on all Citigo, Up's and MII's with standaard foglights.

I have it myself on my Citigo, and it is quite popular, here in Holland.

(my aplogies, for the bad night picture)

SEAT are usually the custodian's of cornering fog lights in the VAG range.

No mention of them though in the Mii brochure which is unusual for a new model.

On the Leon though...

[Taylor93]

ooh sounds interesting I may have to see about someone with VCDS activating them

[MickA]

So these cornering foglights are fitted to the UK Citigo and just need activating?

Guess you need to have an Elegance -who's first then?

My Mrs would be very interested in having this feature enabled on ours.

I have to say when these things first came about -on Mercedes I thought the cars had a problem with their electrics as they flickered on and off when parking (who'd think that something might go wrong on a Mercedes?). Newer cars have some delay on switching off -probably to save blowing the bulbs.

I would hazard a guess "computer says no!" on this one.

Who's going to prove me wrong?

Hetzer-NLD's post is pretty solid evidence that it can be done -on certain cars at least

[Taylor93]

I breifly spoke to Gizmo (at a Kent Meet) and we're gonna perhaps have a look at doing it next month as he has a VAG-COM

anyone know where the OBD2 port is on the CitiGo?

Right next to the accelerator pedal

[Hetzer-NLD]

Yes, it works with the normal Citigo, UP Foglights, you don't need any modifications, only some adaption with Vagcom/VCDS, here's a video

(Bochtenverlichting = Dutch for corneringlights)

I did not do it my self, but i thought you should go to

STG 9, byte 12, and activate bit 6

More is possible with the Citigo and UP, also come-home activication

Anyone in Sheffield with VCDS want to try this on mine for a couple of shandy's ?

[MickA]

Ah...just seen the video, now I'm back on my laptop.

Didn't realise only the side you are turning to came on. Here's me thinking they actually moved as in some of the high end luxury cars. I'm not up on all of this techy car stuff really.

I have this feature on my Focus, amazing the difference it makes especially on unlit roads

[greenstripe]

Got -me thinking -could it be done on my Fabia GLII?

[greenstripe]

Have put in a request at my local dealership to see if we can get this feature enabled on both our cars -hopefully I will hear back in the next day or two.

[Hetzer-NLD]

@Elegance75, i have also got the coming-home lights activated on the citigo, and you can also adapt some small things, such as automatic lock the doors, etc.

Any news for us yet ??

[cecolon]

What about tilting side mirrors down when reversing? I think that's a feature on other VAGs that can be enabled.

Not yet -I'm working at the moment and won't have time to chase them up until next week - but I will, unless they ring me first.
