Fabia III VCDS Adaptions

[Makefish]

 I would like to adapt standard fog lights into cornering ones as they've done with the Octavia III and was wondering if it's a simple case of recoding?

 

Are there any other tried and tested VCDS adaptions for the Fabia III?

[Dilz]

Yep that should be quick and easy.

A YouTuber has put up quite a few videos of tweaks available on the Mk3 Fabia.

Have a look!

Interesting features, thanks for the link!

[Dilz]

You are both more than welcome.

I know that I'll DEFINITELY be going for the following tweaks:

Dial staging

Coming home/leaving home via fog instead of dipped beams

Fog lights to come on with main beam flash

Teardrop wipes

Switching on Auto Rain Sensing wipers (I have the SEL auto headlights only)

[mtl]

Cornering lights should be done easily. Just follow instructions for Octavia and of course use a grain of salt.

Though, according to my data, those instructions should be 100% correct .

 

PS: I am glad I am able to help with videos .

Anyone here know if it is possible to put in LEDs in the front fog lights with cornering lights?

[mtl]

Do you mean to change the bulbs for fog lights with LED bulbs or to retrofit additional LED lights?

Also should not be a problem. You will just need to code them for LED and there should be no bulb warning.

Your videos are fantastic! I just wish you were based in the UK so I could bring my car over for the tweaks!

Thanks again MTL Garage

Thx, but you have in UK also a lot of experts on this. For example andyvee is definitely one of them.

First bit of confirmed VCDS coding that works on the Fabia III. Once we get a few more we can add a definitive list into the VCDS forum, as they have done for other/previous models.

 

Please note that you perform any changes at your own risk. Briskoda does not accept any responsibility for your actions, and neither will I .......... if you're not sure, then please don't do it!

ENABLING NEW "DRIVE GREEN" MENU IN BOLERO INFOTAINMANET UNIT

Can you explain what this Drive Green menu shows?

[pab567]

Here is how you enter Drive Green menu - it's what you see upon pressing Car button and then "Wybór" (choice)

 

Drive Green menu when you enters it - score starts with 100 and it descreases when you don't drive "green"

 

Fuel consumption chart - available upon pressing fuel consumption figure

 

Green score chart - available upon pressing green score figure

Sort of, but it only verifies what's been posted on here before ...... although I did add a few important bits of info for Brisky members to make it a bit more idiot proof!

 

Good work though 

[the_raz]

Thanks for the tips and instruction both of you. The Fabia III is still such a new car that the features are not yet documented in VCDS.

 

Tonight I enabled

- dial sweep

- green score

- litres to full

 

These are all fun little features although none is really needed. But it is still nice to get something for free 

[the_raz]

does anybody know if it is possible (and how) to disable the monitoring for reverse light bulbs check? I replaced them with powerful LED bulbs, but now I an getting a bulb warning. And while I am at it How about disabling monitoring for the rear lights?

[skodaTDI]

I think all of that Drive Green stuff is similar to to what is available on SmartGate..

[skodaTDI]

Is there anything in VCDS to enable a light inside the cockpit, either on the dash or dial when you switch to dipped lights.. ??? I find it annoying there's nothing to tell me they are on other than looking outside of the car, or looking for a reflection on back of another vehicle etc..
