It can be restricted on areas, where are unknown speed limits or there are no traffic signs recognized. Typically it is on parkings, private roads or small country roads. Thats my assumptions based on my experience.

One my drive I get a similar message but the moment I drive onto the road it goes, the same at work as it’s down a dead end road.

Perhaps a silly question, but does making these modifications void your warranty at all or cause any issues if you're on PCP finance?   Will the dealer care or find out at all?  

 

Thanks

The dealer will not care in the slightest.

Thanks.  I might be cheeky and ask.

 

So the TSR uses the same camera as the lane assist etc?   That's very interesting, wish I knew that!   So you could theoretically have lane assist, traffic jam assist and high beam assist just by paying the £85 for TSR?

 

Edit: Plus of course whatever the kind VCDS modder would like for their time :P

How much would you charge to enable these Gizmo ? (+ anything else you feel may be useful at the time)

 

Quick question on TSR, I am only seeing one speed sign on both maxi dot and head unit and never seeing 2 at the same time ? is this also VCDS or should it do it automatically ?

 

 

[Gizmo]

It should show them automatically... when they are available, which is not all the time.

 

I only ask for ‘a drink’ for coding.

Thanks Gizmo

No worries just give me a shout.

 

Pretty sure the L&K closes from the remote (but personally I do not use it as such) not sure about the SE L.

My SEL boot (non-Kessy) doesn't close from the remote.

Can I be really dense... when you say MY18, do you mean manufactured year 2018?   If so... when does 17 stop and 18 start?  Is it the same as the financial year?   Thanks :).

[Gizmo]

MY = Model Year, which is week 22 every year, 

 

so in week 22 of  2017 MY18 was produced.

Ah I see :).   So my new one will be MY18 then, thanks Gizmo.

I assume zei20t has worked out by now that the icon/button for the rear view camera and trailer is not trailer assist. It's a mode helping you reverse up to a trailer to hitch it up to the car. It's not what you get in say VW.

 

You'd hope the MQB platform meant it was possible but VW always keeps some technology for itself. Look at the active info display which is not yet available in Skoda or SEAT cars.

I don't mean the camera button, I mean the button for park pilot, the function that parks the car itself. when I press that with my trailer attached, I get the trailer assist wizard, but it completes straight away. I believe there is a missing message, or my camera is not the correct model.

so wat is the current/latest stance on enabling the "rain closing" feature?

 

from wat i can gather from various posts:-
- it is dependant on having a particular controller, and even then, is not available on certain builds.

- mention of it draining the car battery as it doesn't allow the car to "sleep"

- after enabling it, seems to be a hit or miss with regards to actually working.

 

i really loved, and relied on this feature with my MK2 Octavia RS. 
would like to have it with my Superb, if possible.

Can the Traffic sign recognition be enabled on a car with high beam assist but no lane assist ?

Yes.

I've previously had TSR enabled on a car that only had HBA and LA fitted from the factory, this was a Leon though

 

I would imagine it's the same for the Superb as all those features require the use of the A5 forward facing camera.

Is there a sticky somewhere for what can be added to bog standard spec cars? Mines an SE Tech.

I agree, this is crazy. Did closing with remote control work?

Boot closing by using the remote, now that's interesting.  I did not know this was possible.

It is possible just code everything and change the RLS for the one without a letter at the end

This is for all superbs, so what works would depend on spec level.   For some reason activating lane assist is not on it though.

Bugger...... I'll pass as it will involve a hardware change - I have the RLHS version:-

 

Rain Light Recognition Sensor:

  Subsystem 2 - Part No SW: 5Q0 955 547 B    HW: 5Q0 955 547 B  Labels: 5Q0-955-547.CLB

  Component: RLHS  042 0105

Only with Dynamic HBA. With "low" HBA, you don't have controller A5.

Controller A5 is only in, if one of these three features is installed:

Dynamic light assist

Traffic sign recognition

Lane assist

If you don't need the A5 thingy for "low" HBA, does that mean I could enable the basic high beam assist on my car using just the light sensor?   Or does it need to have a camera of some description?
