Cool

 

The annoying thing is I was in Scotland today ............ Musselburgh to be precise

 

next time you're up give us a yell, Iamholam and I are in the same town just a couple of miles apart

Will do - probably in a couple of weeks, might stay overnight next time, Rossendale to Musselburgh and back in one day plus a 4 hour meeting was a bit much .......

come west a bit to us and then go back down the M74 and M6. Great twisty A70 from here to the M74 :-)

actually when I think of it I have a MY16 that's not had the MIB2 messed with and Iamholam has one with the menus missing.......job done?

 

both with Amundsens

Indeed. We seem to be the baseline (and the problem) all in one easy town!

If it helps I still have the autoscan and adaption map of 5f from before it was coded. But obviously that was from VCDS. The problem is I am not convinced it is reading it right. 

I guess it will have to be a clean map taken with VCP to know for sure.

If this would help: I have full ad. channells maps of 5F before (one) and after coding was performed for few Superbs and Passats. Taken with VCDS.

Yep, I think I need to grab it with VCP to see if it is reading anything differently

I've asked for some help from the clever users of VCP

 

https://vcp-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1258

 

I have a funny feeling that I might be able to grab a raw memory dump from a working vehicle and then upload to one that has been 'altered' with VCDS

 

What Infotainment units does anyone with this issue have?

 

If you are registered, does it show extra forums on that site? Following the link it asks me to log on, but they don't let you register unless you own VCP already.

 

The home page I can see only shows 8 forums, around 200 posts total. I am guessing there is more but only if you log in.

 

It is a shame as it would be nice to see a bit more before I considered buying the unit. At least with the VCDS forum you can see the posts

It does show extra.

 

They have recently locked the forum down due to piracy issues

Hi guys,

I'm glad to see someone got the ball rolling, unfortunately I'm in the same boat with this issue..

I've got a MY2016 Superb 3 With columbus and DAB.
Tried to enable traffic signs with VCDS. - Getting the coding was accepted message, but no changes to it.

Since then my menu's:
Driver assistance
Drive Green View

Are gone. Everything is working though. I can enable/disable driver assistance features on the maxidot, but no parameters in the columbus, just the message access restricted when I press on Driver assistance menu

I've got a VCP at the moment to look at the problem, so please get me involved on this, I'm also on the VCP forum with the same nickname

Thanks in advance

Brilliant - perhaps you can do a TeamViewer session with Mati?

Any update

Any update

Waiting for response...

Sent a mail 9 nov, got response 10 nov, proposed to do a session, nothing yet confirmed by Mati ...

I've given a prod on the VCP forum

 

Ross-Tech seem to think they might be able to replicate this using Audi MIB2 units which they can get access to

Any news ?

Not that I am aware of

How often rosstech is giving software updates ?

Hi guys, been a while, but there has been progress...

I did a teamviewer session with Mati tonight, seems like the VCDS adaptations I've made before were triggering different bits from the code...

Mati was able to restore the default coding values in channels 2876 and 2877 in 5F
I've got my assistance settings back and working (but no Greendrive yet, it's possible it needs some time/driving around and will appear tomorrow)

Normally you can find these default coding values in the PR-coder app, but for the new MiB2 units there are no templates/labels yet...
Mati will try to get these updated as soon as possible.
 

Now that is what you call support! And VCP gets a rough ride for its support, but you can't get better than the top man fixing your car for you!

Yup, I've seen a piece of VCP-heaven last night lol :-)

Greendrive appeared this morning aswell, and I'm working towards getting the traffic sign recognition working (i've got lane assist installed without traffic signs)

I hope that very soon rosstech also will release uodate for vcds.

That's promising! What does that mean for the rest of us? Hopefully instructions to fix via vcds or will it be some kind of patch which you just need to update?

According to my logic, immediatelly it does not mean anything.

But it means that the solution is possible, so let us hope that also Ross-Tech will be able to understand it and implement it into the new VCDS version. As it looks like the problem is that the sw is doing something behind the codings that are done, due to not having correct ''map''.

Well, I'm quite new to both VCDS and VCP, but this looks more like an indication that VCDS is running behind...

Question is:

If VCDS is unable to handle the coding from MIB2 units ( writing all the zeroes in my case), is it able to read them correctly??

Cause if I understand VCDS right... The first autoscan saves your Long codings for all the ECU's, so in case you make a mistake, you can just program it back to standard with those codings.

This is what I tried to do, and according to the autoscan, they were coded like before, but no changes were made and my menu's were still gone.

 

From this thinking pattern, I decided to go for a VCP cable, since they stated full support for the Superb MK3.

I'm not advertising for VCP or something, but I guess if you guys want your menu's back (right at this moment) you have to find someone with VCP nearby.

Other option would be waiting till VCDS is updated vor MIB 2 platform.

EDIT: If I can help you in any way...  I'll try my best to do it for you
