"Byte 24 Bit 6 - untick Traffic Sign Display (VZA) active leave this TICKED"

 

why leaving ticked? Any reason?

No particular reason. I had tried all other options to get it working without any success. It was the only way it would work for me. 

 

Incidentally does anyone know what 'VZA' stands for. 

 

Just looked it up on google translate. Looks like it's an anagram of Verkehrszeichenanzeige which means 'traffic sign display'

Anybody knows how to enable this? I have a colleague with no parking assistant and no towing bar, but he has this. Camera itself is the same.

OK. Solved

The car of series had high beam assist, how can I activate the lane assist with vcds? At the moment, I'm not interested in signal recognition

[YuRkLi]

I show my windscreen with "big camera". With this if I can activate it, right?

Yes. That´s the A5 camera that gives you High Beam Assist, Lane Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition

[Enriquez]

So, follow the germa link and enjoy!

I will try to see if I can get it to work, thank you very much.

It is not Allowed to share this link here or any other Forum without the Allowance of the Creator of the OneNote file! Says so on the First Site!

Since you work as a watchman .... check the rest of the thread and you will find more like that .... I do not understand that something that helps you can not be put.

Because its the work of someone else and if he does not want to share it everywhere he can do so. Some are using the work of others and sell it on ebay etc...

I thought that the creator of the OneNote file shared it himself earlier in this thread.

Most people have no issues with a link being posted directly to their site (as they freely do themselves) where the problem lies is when it is people simply ‘copy & paste’ giving the true author no credit and passing off the work as their own.

 

Not all coding can be accredited to a particular person either, I have in the past posted a particular coding before anyone else and likewise sometime you find out someone else ‘found’ the coding before you did.

 

Several of us have spent many an hour sat in a car trying various ‘virgin’ coding out.

I Talked to him and he said its ok  

 

I was just trying to Protect the Work of those who are willing to share there Knowledge with others 

[djduese]

Blindek was right in one thing. I don't allow to copy the pdf and give it to another person or to put it in a forum. It is protected by german copyright. 

But it is allowed, to copy the link and write it in the forum, then everyone can look at the pdf or the OneNote. Although I had to protect the pdf that no one can copy the text, or print it. In Germany are some people, who want to earn money with this.

I had to take this steps, because some people tried to sell my work on ebay and other platforms. 

[Enriquez]

djduese, thank You for explanation for this ...

Has anyone successfully enabled high beam assist on a MY17 car with the A5 camera?

Yes. Here is how to (the quote is from page 36, go there for more info)

Just follow for example this page. It's a compendium of knowledge from many sources. Maybe sometime it comes

https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=3AE6945C79E4C9E!6636&ithint=onenote%2c&app=OneNote&authkey=!ADQH2YqqqP0zcUU

 

you can read there, the light assist can be enabled in MY2017 as following:

STG 09  

Zugriffsberechtigung: 31347  

Anpassung  

 

Fernlicht_assistent (vorher Assistenzlichtfunktionen)  

Menuesteuerung Fernlichtassistent Werkseinstellung 

auf "vorhanden" setzen  

Menuesteuerung Fernlichtassistent  

auf "vorhanden" setzen  

Erweiterte_Fernlichtsteuerung 

auf "AFS: FLA: BCM-Fernlicht" setzen 

 

STG A5 

Codierung 

 

Byte 21 Bit 5-7  

Ändern auf (20) Fernlichtassistent/High Beam Assist  

 

 

 

Für diese Codierung muss unbedingt die "große" Kamera verbaut sein. Die große Kamera ist bei folgenden Ausstattungen verbaut: Spurhalteassistent, Verkehrszeichenerkennung (VZE), Dynamischer Lichtassistent (DLA). Beim "einfachen" Fernlichtassistenten ist nur die "kleine" Kamera verbaut, welche sich nicht für die oben angegebenen Assistenten genutzt werden kann.

XDS diff set to 'strong' using OBDEleven:

 

03 ABS Brakes
Security code '20103' 
Select “Expanded electronic differential lock” 
Standard >> Strong

 

When I initially applied this the ABS and ACC warning lights flashed for around 15-20 seconds and then the change seemed to be accepted.  I ran a scan and no errors/DTC's were thrown.  I went for a drive and could tell the difference straight away.  I carried out another scan when I got home and no problems were found; no problems on my commute to work either.

Forgive me for being a dum dum  but what exactly does this change and how does it affect the car?

It's basically an electronic differential that uses the ESP system to apply braking to the inside wheel whilst sending more power to the outside wheel, during cornering.   It's like throwing a cartoon rope around a lampost, in the corners.

I had it set to strong on my Leon FR and now the Superb and in both cases you can feel the car digging in and 'gripping' more.  It's easier to feel on a large roundabout where turn in and speed can be constant and controlled.  You don't have to be driving like a tw@7 either

Sounds like fun

 

Next questions:

 

• What are the available options that can be configured?
• Why would strong not be the default mode if the car handles better?
• Does the change have any long term effect on the car?

Thank you

IIRC the options for this are 'not activated', 'standard', 'weak', 'medium' and 'strong'.  I dare say that it would be defined by the model/hierarchy of the car you've bought.  On my Leon for example it was set to 'weak' but on the Cupra 280 it was set to 'strong' this is no doubt due to the hefty BHP hike between models, the Cupra 280 only being FFWD, with the front wheels needing to look after power delivery, braking and cornering and SEAT no doubt also wanting their hardened hot hatch to clearly feel more planted than the lesser FR.  I believe the Golf GTD, GTI and R have different settings from the factory too.

 

I had this set to strong from 3k miles on my Leon to when I sold it with close to 60K miles on the clock.  It was serviced and MOT'd just before and I was still on the original front pads and discs, with no warnings or advisories for replacement in the near term, mine was running 236bhp too.   I used and indy specialist who actually took the wheels off and inspected everything too, not just shine a torch through the alloys.   I would have thought that it would put more 'stress' on steering, suspension and braking components but that would no doubt would only amplify driver habits/style; if you have zero mechanical sympathy and drive your car like you stole it then you'd break it regardless of the diff being turned up, similar to remaps and clutches, etc.

A shout out to Gizmo68 who enabled a host of minor VCDS, um, gizmos in my Sportline. He worked for an hour to try and enable "eyelashes" (which may or may not take, we'll see...) and made three attempts to enable "lane assist" but it would not take. It took just as long to get the system back to where he started from, so a very conscientious job. Thank you very much, Martin.

 

The most noticeable add-on is "traffic sign recognition" which worked a treat on the ride home from Folkestone.

 

A nice day for a drive, too, not too crazy out there. Fast, but orderly. Some of the continental traffic tend to cut in a bit close, though. A couple times my "brake" emergency warning flashed up on the dash, but I saw it coming.

 

On the down side, I am finding the latest Skoda navigation maps lacking: this is the second time I've had to get out my phone to find an address on Google maps.

[Gizmo]

Nice to meet you today Jerry.
