Has anybody successfully activated HBA?

[drewellis]

Hi all, would appreciate a bit of help if possible

 

I've been able to activate lots of useful features on my L&K with help from this forum so thank you to all who have contributed info to @Gizmo's VCDS thread (here)

 

However I've been trying for months now with no success to get HBA working :(

 

Has anyone been able to do it? If so is this correct (pasted from the main VCDS thread)? 

 

-----------------------------

 

Thanks to @Antera for the following:

 

Activating High beam assist

 

Controller 09 - Central Electronics

16 - Security Access - enter 31347

10 - Adaptations

 

 Go to:

(2) Assistant light functions - Menu light assistant         

Change to Present

 

07 - Coding 

Byte 3, Bit 2 aanvinken

 

Controller A5 (Front / front view camera)

07 - Coding

 

Byte 21

Change to  High Beam Assist or change to "20"

According to @djduese you also need to change:

 

Controller 09 - Central Electronics

07 - Coding

Byte 2 Bit 0-2. Change to 03

How old is your car and what is the problem. If you have controller A5, HBA is no problem.

If your car is MY 2017 or higher, coding in 09 is different

Hi djduese, my car is late 2015 build (16 plate) with A5 I think - it has the lane assist camera etc. 

 

The problem is that I've applied all the suggested changes but couldn't find 07 - Coding Byte 3

[djduese]

I don't know, why there is Byte 3 in this list. This is wrong @Gizmo.

You have to code Byte 2 Bits 0-2

Byte 3 Bit 2 is something else

So by this do you mean that Byte 2 bits 0,1 and 2 need to all be changed to say 03?S2

[djduese]

If you have Xenon, you have to change the value in the Dropdown Menu to 03

[drewellis]

Okay thank you for that, I will try it again this week and report back. Much appreciated

Does anyone have the spec's for HBA on an MY17 model? I've tried the above and it works, but disables the reverse lights in the process. Not ideal!

[djduese]

Then you have something coded wrong.

The above is not fully right. Controller 09 Byte 3 Bit 2 is wrong. 

What program did you use for coding?

[Rhys_vRS]

I was doing it with a mate who is using his VCDS to code.

 

Do you know the correct coding if Controller 09 Byte 3 Bit 2 is incorrect for MY17 on?

[djduese]

You can drop Byte 3. Everything else is correct.

Byte 2 Bits 0-2 dependant on your headlights. With xenon it had to be changed to 03

Well, it's been a bit longer than a week but yesterday I successfully managed to activate HBA.

On my car, "Assistant light functions - Menu light assistant" was listed with Assistant light functions in English but Menu light assistant in German. 

As djduese said, "07 - Coding 

Byte 3, Bit 2 aanvinken" is not correct or necessary. You have to code Byte 2 Bits 0-2 (change to 03). Once all that is done, then you can do

"Controller A5 (Front / front view camera)

07 - Coding

Byte 21

Change to  High Beam Assist or change to 20"

 

If anyone's interested here's a video of how it works... Once activated, at speeds over 35mph high beam comes on when its completely dark (no street lights or cars) and goes off when a car approaches or you drive into town where there are lights. Also even if it's pitch black, if you go under 20mph high beam goes off, but accelerate back over 35 and it comes back on again. It's really good, very accurate indeed. I love it.

Thanks again @djduese for your advice

I want to reduce the activation speed for lane driving but I can't find where to do this on my MK2 Tig, on the MK1 Tig it was simple.

[djduese]

In MK2 Tiguan Not possible to change activation Speed

Okay, is this all that now needs doing to activate HBA or is it a combination of the original 2016 instructions with the above changes, if so would be good to update the original for a full sequence of coding to prevent anyone making misakes

Managed to get mine (vRS 245) working by following this -

 

 

[BriskodaJeff]

May not be relevant but fyi I activated HBA on my MY17 using an app on my Obdeleven. No manual coding required.

It's 100 credits though! And as others have pointed out - for one of the more in-depth mods, you don't know what other changes are being made... saying that, I did use the app to enable Driving School Mode just to see how the apps work!
