So I'm borrowing my mates laptop and cable tomorrow to do a few bits on my car. I've never used VCDS before and never watched anyone use it.

So to that end, there's a few bits I'd like to do to mine and the wife's car. Namely:

Large MPH display

Needle sweep

Change power steering weight

Anti hijack

Change indication to 5 flashes from 3

Teardrop wipers.

I don't really know how to do it, so can someone give me a quick guide as to how to change the settings in VCDS.

Many thanks, oh and are there any other good things you can do?

Oh and I'm pretty computer literate so don't feel the need to water it down too much.

I think it's in a sticky on the VCDS section in here

Here you go

For the large MPH once you've changed it to AUS on VCDS you'll need to go into the MFD and select the box for it to show on maxi and also change the units back to GB on the maxi.

Alarm beep for lock/unlock and all door unlock are good ones too

Had the beeps on my VRS. Might do that again. I'll have a search as most of this seems to be generic between cars.

So I've tried changing a few things and I get various error messages or bytes not appearing which should.

Module 44

Adaptations

for the power steering change says choose Channel 1 and then choose between 1-6 for increased weight.

It says channel 1 does not exist. Only channel 0 which cannot be updated? I'm not too sure if there's another way round this?

Did manage to put teardrop on though.

Did you have a look here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/236545-power-steering-adjustment/?hl=%20steering%20%20assist  ?

Then you choose the 4th digit based on the description in the other thread. I have mine on 2 (that is: 11221) and it feels much better than stock.

Oh you ******. Was obviously following the wrong instruction.

Wow. What a difference that makes!

Just commenting so I can find the thread again.

Few points of reference:

5 instead of 3 indicator flashes is:

Module 9 centr/conv.

Adaptation 10

Channel 43

Change from 3-5 cycles.

Press save.

Audible beep on unlock/lock

Centr/conv. Module 9

Adaptations 10

There's a drop down menu, choose unlock

Change 0 to a 1

Click save

Use menu again, choose lock

Change 0 to a 1 again

Press save.
