Evening guys. 
 

Im wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to have the Lane Assist warning beep delayed from standard (which seems like 10 seconds) to something a little more manageable like 30 seconds. 
 

On a straight motorway where there is no need to steer but still having full control of the wheel, the thing keeps beeping and telling me off 😏 I actually quite like the system so if I don’t have to disable it to get rid of the beep that would be great. 
 

I have an OBDeleven as well if coding is possible…

@RobMac1 thinking about your last posting and what the car is meant to stop you doing, it is design to:

• keep the driver alert to the fact they are drifting lane
• give you due notice that you aren't paying attention

If you change that warning to 30 seconds, you might end up sunny side DOWN and Wheels UP - which is never a good place to be.

@varaderoguyyou can literally disable the feature and drive without it, and most people do. It’s not like we’re flying a cargo plane with no assistance systems.
 

And honestly not being funny at all but I’ve managed fine without it for nearly 20 years. I like that it keeps you within the lane, but to beep at a high pitch when you are already physically holding the steering wheel and it’s just a straight road is pretty ridiculous. I then have to give it a quick steer left and right to knock it off. 
 

I just thought there might be a setting for the beeper or a way to make it less grumpy. 
 

thanks for the reply though 👍🏻

Completely understand. I was just trying to give context and yes I agree you can switch off the audio notifications (even I've done that). I am fairly sure that VW have looked at this and set it up for the most risk adverse manner and as it is a safety critical system they have probably hard coded it down to stop that kind of change.
