Keen to hear what they are but something is broken!

xpower has found the invisibility cloak setting

I can't post it :-(

 

It not that exciting anyways, but when I try and post it I get a network database error :-|

I've been getting a few of those lately as well

As I become wiser to the structure of the adaptations I have found a few more tweaks:

 

Rear fogs as ADDITIONAL brake lights

(8)-Leuchte26NSL LA72-Lichtfunktion C 26 from Inactive to Brake light

(8)-Leuchte27NSL RC6-Lichtfunktion C 27 – from inactive to Brake light

 

Just check that the following 2 channels are set to a value of 100 (Brightness)

(10)-Leuchte26NSL LA72-Dimmwert CD 26

(10)-Leuchte27NSL RC6-Dimmwert CD 27

 

This won't affect the normal operation of the fog lights, Changing the bulbs to CREE 50w LED bulbs look really good, don’t forget to if you do change them to LED, change the adaptations so the configuration “Lasttyp” is LED J

Can't post anymore :-(  

Site is really playing up

I've found that if you try posting with non standard characters, the board doesn't like it. For example you can't use the one or two thirds character built into windows and such like, however you can use others such as ¼, ½, ¾.

That's a great idea. I would be good to see some pics of the std set up with the brakes on, and with the fogs as brakes too.

Adjust LED light bar (DRL brightness) can be between 25-100%

(14)-Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert EF 2 (left hand led bar) - Standard is 100%

(14)-Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert EF 3 (right hand led bar) Standard is 100%

Adjust LED light bar (Side light brightness) Can be between 25-100%

(6)-Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert AB 2 (left LED bar) Standard is 35%

(6)-Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert AB 3 (right LED bar) Standard is 35%

Hopefully I can spend some time this weekend on getting rid of the error message about reduced functionality when activating the speed signs on the dash (with the std bolero fitted)

What is good is as I was 'playing around' I set the LED light bar as an indicator not a DRL. Looked really good - shame it isn't amber :-)

I'm also interested. This would be a great mod.

Did you use white or red coloured cree leds? Which ones (link)?

Luminance compared to the original fog bulbs? Any colour difference as result (with original bulbs/with cree leds)?

Photos and video please

Nice mod, although I never actually use sidelights, partly because i'm always on 'auto' but also because i've set my rear LED lights to be DRLs too.

If you do work out how to remove the warning when enabling road signs on Bolero that would be epic. EPIC!

Did the mystery of the intermittent coming home lights with auto main beam ever get solved?

Hint for the traffic signs, there is an adaptation channel with the word fusion in it somewhere

I ran traffic sign recognition on my Bolero for a couple of weeks and without sat nav data it can't be trusted, you'll almost certainly end up driving to the wrong speed limit

I wouldn't trust the SatNav data either - I've spotted several errors already (two where the limit has changed in the last 12 months - so fair enough, one where the limit changed at least 2.5 years ago, and two where the limit has never been what the SatNav says - or, at least, for as long as I've known the roads).

It's more for novelty than anything else!

Try changing the settings on this adaptation channel on the A5 camera

 

Road sign detection fusion mode

 

It is set by default to 'Road sign fusion' which to me means it is going to merge the data with the sat nav data. I am pretty sure the last time I looked there was an option that would use the camera only data - may help on a Bolero!

Yes - use VCP instead of VCDS as it resets the controller between every adaptation change.

 

Otherwise, you have to reset the lighting settings to factory default in the Infotainment unit and then personalise the settings again.

 

Remember, coming home lights are triggered by you opening the door (which is changeable to when you turn the ignition off on this adaptation channel on 09 '(5) Comfort illumination Coming home on event' )

Will try it - thanks for the hint

Next major challenge - coming home / leaving home when light switch is on 0 not AUTO only as I don't like leaving the lights on auto

Not sure that is possible?

What is with these people and not liking leaving the lights in Auto!? I still can't work out why you would ever change them to anything else!?

Because driving to work in bright sunlight (so bright I need my sunglasses) and the headlights are on - messes with my OCD

It should be

DRL = Lights in the daytime

Headlights = lights at dusk / night time

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work like that - if it did I would leave it on Auto

Can I suggest your car is broken? My headlights only come on at dusk/night... I have them set to 'Late' as in early/medium I agree they do come on at the slightest hint of a cloud...

That's how it works for me! I've never had a problem. My 04 Audi was the other end of the spectrum - lights wouldn't come on with Auto till well after I thought they should be on. But the vRS has been bang on to date.

 

Maybe your light sensor is faulty...?

Bright sunlight = poor visibility, you should a have headlights on.
