I wish there was a full-full scan that saves all the adaption channels too, as we often dive into those for changes.

 

It can do adaption maps for all modules, it's just not part of the autoscan as it takes a while to complete - about 10 mins looking at the last one I did :)

 

VCDS >> Applications >> Maps

 

Random screenshot from google, I tend to choose the red highlighted options:

      I'm aware the mod for 30 colour pallet in the ambient lighting screen has been mentioned several times on the forum. TLDR: The RGB values used on available in the table at the bottom on my post.

      Not sure how that would work, by your reconning they would have less need for rear DRL's as they have less daylight hours.   Brake lights are 4 times brighter than a sidelight / rear DRL, th

    Everyday is a school day, I tend not to muck about "under the hood" too much, but nice to know that there is a scan full-full option 😄

    I only tend to do a full car map backup on my own car.

     

    If I'm recoding other peoples cars, I'll use the same tool but typically only do maps for the modules I'll be touching. Pretty useful on the BCM given the number of similar looking German channels!

    Yeah seeing all the similar sounding German channels threw me off, I was coding LED bulbs and I had to really look hard to find them 😄

    When doing mods, there's only one to chose, all others meaning more or less 'ŠKoda Kaputt' otherwise...  🤭😂

    Ich wünschte, es gäbe einen Full-Full-Scan, der auch alle Anpassungskanäle speichert, da wir oft in diese für Änderungen eintauchen.

     

    With ODIS no Problem.

    For sure it's good with ODIS, most don't have it of course is all.

    Hello guys.
    I got a couple of things I want to correct and I really don't know how and where to look.
    Obdeleven recently got an app update for the Superbs CH/LH lights.
    Now the turn signals on the front or/and the back light up when locking and unlocking the car.
    I like the look so much I would like this during the day as well, but CH/LH lights only light up, when it's dark enough.
    Is there any way to change the parameters?

    the other thing I want to achieve is this:
    (only folding the mirrors with a long press to reduce the wear on the motors)
    Any ideas?


    Best regards, MR

     

    Is the app only available for specific MY? I don't see it on mine MY22.

    @midlan What year is your car?

    SWMBO prefers to have the CH/LH option on her profile but I just consider it a waste of xenon power as we live in a decently lit area. If it only did the DRL’s then I may be persuaded to alter mine - the car park location assistance occasionally comes in handy too. 👍

    @john999boy

    My car was made 3/2016. I have it with eyelashes and it looks awesome. I will take picture of it.

    Also, in each of the drive profile values that are actually relevant to the Superb, I think you change the zero to be the colour you want in that drive mode (from your 10 or 30 colour palette). Trying to remember as it is ages since I did this!

     

    Hi,

     

    I finally managed to find some time to have a closer look to this point. But I still don't fully understand what is the right way to proceed.

     

    The DCC has 5 modes: 1-ECO / 2-COMFORT / 3-NORMAL / 4-SPORT / 5-INDIVIDUAL

    My Mk3 has default ambiant color settings: Farbe 9 is 'dark green' / Farbe 7 is blue / Farbe 4 is red.

    I'd like ECO mode to be green (yeah, I give it to you, not very original... 😁), the SPORT mode to be red (not very original either 😁) and the INDIVIDUAL mode to blue.

     

    Here is what I've caught so far, I need to check following settings:

     

    IDE09731-ENG154511-Int. light: 2nd generation-Ambiente_Fahrprofil_Individual = 1

    IDE09731-ENG154512-Int. light: 2nd generation-Ambiente_Farbliste_HMI_mit_Farbtransformation = active

    IDE09731-ENG154513-Int. light: 2nd generation-Ambiente_Farbwahl_FPA_waehlbare_Kopplung = active

    IDE09731-ENG154514-Int. light: 2nd generation-Ambiente_Farbwahl_FPA_waehlbare_Kopplung_Status_hmi_default = active

     

    and then make make following adaptations:

     


    ENG153712-ENG154603-Ambientelicht Zuordnung der Farbe zum Fahrprofil-Fahrprofil_1,9 ,23
    ENG153712-ENG154612-Ambientelicht Zuordnung der Farbe zum Fahrprofil-Fahrprofil_4,4 ,23
    ENG153712-ENG154613-Ambientelicht Zuordnung der Farbe zum Fahrprofil-Fahrprofil_5,7 ,23

     

    (assuming Fahrprofil_1 corresponds to ECO mode, Fahrprofil_4 is SPORT mode and Fahrpofil_5 stands for INDIVIDUAL mode).

     Am I getting it right?

     

    Nevertheless, noticing there are 15 driving profiles makes me doubt. I don't understand why 15 driving profiles while the DCC only offers 5 possibilities...

    Additionally, since Fahrprofil_0 seems to be the first one, should I make an 'offset' in the driving profiles numbers as follows? 

    ENG153712-ENG154602-Ambientelicht Zuordnung der Farbe zum Fahrprofil-Fahrprofil_0,9 ,23

    Thanks in advance to @Ivan8192, @SashaGrace or anyone who could help me understanding correctly how it works. ;)

    i was under the impression that the ambient light color change based on Driving profile was not available until MY18 onwards.
    MY17 does not have profile based color change.

    ur profile indicates u have a 2017 - hence my confusion.  unless urs is a MY18 2017 build.

    Hmmm... I missed that point. I thought it could be 'retrofited' whatever the MY.

    Actually, my MK3 was 1st registered on December 2017 (built in October 2017). I thought it is a MY2017, but may be I'm wrong. I heard sometimes, MY2018 starts in July 2017 🤔... 

    On my MY18 Octavia, I had to upgrade the CAN gateway firmware to get ambient colours from driving modes working correctly...

     

    Iirc, it needed 4344 or higher which translates as a Q rev.

    build of MY18 would've commenced from July 2017.

    likewise MY19 would've commenced from July 2018.

    and the the pattern continues.

     

    urs being Oct 2017 build, it would mean u have an MY18 then.

    mine was built Mar 2017, hence i have an MY17.

    @Bap33   Fahrprofil_0 is the colour you want when the coming home lights are active. I think there is provision for 15 modes to cover VAG vehicles that have different drive mode numbers.

     

    I haven’t tried doing this yet, but what you have done is what I would try.

    Thanks ! I need to update my briskoda profile, then... 😄 

    But I have to say, I probably had made a 'shortcut', thinking MY2018 necessarily means having VC, which I don't have since it appeared in early 2018, if I remember well.

    OK, thanks! I'll try that then and make feedbacks, whether it works... or not...🤞

    I hope, I don't need any firmware update. If it's true, then I won't go any further. This mod is only a 'nice to have' for me, not a 'must have'. ;)

    My 2018 car came with ambient lighting and this CAN gateway: 

    Address 19: CAN Gateway (J533)       Labels:| 3Q0-907-530-V1.clb
   Part No SW: 3Q0 907 530 L    HW: 3Q0 907 530 C
   Component: GW MQB High   436 4326

     

    It didn't have the 'automatic' mode for colours to start with. 

     

    Looking at my notes, I flipped byte 11, bit 7 in the CAN gateway.

     

    I then changed these adaption channels in the BCM:

    `

    There are 15 profiles as that includes all the possible profiles from other cars as well, for example offroad, race and snow etc...

     

    At this point, the ambient lighting, dashboard and headunit colours would change when I changed drive mode. The only issue was individual mode would cause a disco effect and constantly change between two colours.

     

    To fix this, I had to flash the CAN gateway firmware (and parameterise it). After the update it became: 

    Address 19: CAN Gateway (J533)       Labels:| 3Q0-907-530-V1.clb
   Part No SW: 3Q0 907 530 Q    HW: 3Q0 907 530 C
   Component: GW MQB High   436 4344

     

    Once this was complete, all modes including individual work as expected :)

     

    For reference, my BCM is: 

    Address 09: Cent. Elect. (J519)       Labels:. 5Q0-937-08X-V2.clb
   Part No SW: 5Q0 937 084 CQ    HW: 5Q0 937 084 CG

    @langers2k Thanks a lot! 👍

    Not tested yet, but the interesting thing in your feedback, is that Driving profiles are not ranked in the same order as they appear on the Columbus !

    I would have expected 1-ECO / 2-COMFORT / 3-NORMAL / 4-SPORT / 5-INDIVIDUAL, but according to your settings,

    It seems to be 9-ECO / 8-COMFORT / 2-NORMAL / 3-SPORT / 1-INDIVIDUAL, but 1st Driving mode needs some adaptation and software update.

     

    I'll check that soon. ;) 

     

     

    I think you've misunderstood what those channels are and what they are doing...?

     

    There are 16 channels, called Ambientelicht Zuordnung der Farbe zum Fahrprofil-Fahrprofil_0 to 15.

     

    These are the different profiles, each number matches to a specific profile and has no relation to the ordering or availability on the headunit.

     

    0 is always doors open

    1 is always comfort

    2 is always normal

    3 is always sport

    4 is always off-road

    5 is always eco

    6 is always race (cupra thing?)

    7 is always individual

    8+ I'm not sure about

     

    The value of each adaption channel specifies the colour it should use. This is taken from the RGB colour list so the colour shown will depend on how those channels are configured. For my car when I made those notes:

     

    1 is white

    2 is orange

    3 is red etc etc

     

    This will match the ordering of the colour wheel shown in your headunit in 'manual' colour select mode.

     

    I think all 16 channels need to be none zero which is why I set all unused profiles to 1.
