Sorry

Sorry, I didn't mean to quote your post... I've now spent around €4,000-5,000 on software and equipment.

I can believe it. I'll happily use OBD11 for basic stuff. If I want to long code, I'll get the advice of someone that knows what they're doing. If you don't fully understand what you're doing, like with a lot of things, you can very easily f*** up what you're doing.

Manchmal muss man menschen Fehler machen lassen!

OBD11 is generally a very good tool. But when it comes to data sets or flashing, it's simply not useful. Every tool has its advantages and disadvantages.

Was du eigentlich meinst, ist, dass diese Optionen nach deiner eigenen Überprüfung in dem von dir angegebenen Abschnitt einfach nicht vorhanden sind. Sei ehrlich, Alter. Wir alle machen Fehler, nicht wahr?

Weißt du was? Ich beweise es dir, Bruder:

How many lighting channels do you need?

SFD they had to pay to get into it and VCDS has apparently chose not to.

No so, Ross-Tech have paid VW a huge amount of money and jumped through many 'hoops' required but VW move at a rate slower than most glaciers when granting access to the SFD system.

This post alone shows me that you have no clue about the subject. You're just pretending to code... if you were to get involved with it, you'd know that it's the "light" channel... you wouldn't be the first person to destroy their car with those apps.

Don't be such a **** brother. Coding professionally here as a job and for over 15 years using VCDS in VAG cars. Recently had to switch to ODBeleven due to extra security layer enabled (SFD) in the software. I used to make changes with bits, not to half English/German coding descriptions full with (to me) weird abbreviations...

Of course it is obviously clear for you which of these are the two to make changes, to me (and for sure for many others as well) it is not so clear... Depicted options are in German language with unclear abbreviations...

Thanks!

If I interpret the document correctly, these two lamps are under discussion for the 'coming / leaving home' scenario:



Question remains: How to link these lights to the 'coming home' feature? I mean, supposedly (I did not try) I can switch them OFF, but this should only be activated to OFF in the case for the 'coming / leaving home' scenario? Can you please explain or at least provide a hint where exactly to set this to 'inactive' only for the 'coming / leaving home' feature?

Is Lichtfunktion B6 or C6 the one to change or? (since the rest are factory set to 'inactive')

Chanel 5&6 is it not the only one, or are only the lights going on at the front for you?

I would like only to have the front Fog Lights and rear lights to be enabled for Coming / Leaving Home functionality. Unfortunately, both the front headlights / beams are activated as well.

This is what I would like to have:

If you do this for 15 years, it shouldn't be an issue for you... in this sense, have fun with your obd 11

I just have to say, I love how passive aggressive yet helpful you both are!

Falling out, then just continuing the discussion like nothing has happened 😂

What a carry on over a couple of lights Unfortunately I have found you cant have everything you want.

Scandinavian lights can be enabled quite easily and safely using the app in the Golf list Have done it in two cars without problems. Other worthwhile one is DRL's off with handbrake.

Sorry, but he just wants everything handed to him on a silver platter, but he's been doing it professionally for 15 years? I assume a certain level of personal responsibility. Simply coding everything without understanding is no longer acceptable. I've wasted enough money myself. You have to understand it, too... I'm the last person who wouldn't help. But 85% of the time, you can find everything if you know how to use Google.

Was für ein Theater wegen ein paar Lichtern. Leider habe ich festgestellt, dass man nicht alles haben kann, was man möchte.

Die skandinavischen Lichter können ganz einfach und sicher über die App in der Golf-Liste aktiviert werden. Habe es bei zwei Autos problemlos gemacht. Eine weitere lohnende Funktion ist das Ausschalten der Tagfahrleuchten mit der Handbremse.

I would strongly advise against using lighting apps. For example, Seat programs the light channels differently than Skoda. Enough users have destroyed their cars with this Apps

Coding as a profession, coding software in the sense of software running on servers...

Scandanavian Lights are enabled (amongst many others in my car) and this without any problem, except for that both headlights are lit as well...

So it is advertised in the ODBEleven app as:

But in real live the headlights (low beams) are enabled as well? It also means that the description in the app (in the "manual" section is incomplete. Seriously?

And exactly that is why I do not want to use the one-click app, but by manual coding...

Yes, seriously. If I had £1 for every time an OBD11 app hasn't made the correct changes, then I would have my own private jet (slight exaggeration!). I've seen this on this site and a diagnostic tool website. Why does this happen? Because VAG/Skoda make running changes to their software and the apps don't keep up with those changes.

Never ever use the apps - always understand how the system works and make the changes manually.

Please note that i did not use the One Click App for any of the changes make including Coming / Leaving Home...

So, to sum-up: Now we end up in the following situation:

@Cairus intends to tell us that he actually knows how to disable the headlight beams in Coming / Leaving Home configuration. Next he posts a solution, which he quickly removed (as noticed by @OccyVRS ). Next @PetrolDave tells us it is not possible...

That is a kinda weird situation, right!

I hereby challenge @Cairus to post here the solution, because it is possible according to him. If @Cairus does not provided the answer in this forum, @Cairus just made a fool of himself big time!

Zusammenfassend befinden wir uns nun in der folgenden Situation:

@Cairuswill uns mitteilen, dass er tatsächlich weiß, wie man die Scheinwerfer in der Coming-/Leaving-Home-Konfiguration deaktiviert. Anschließend postet er eine Lösung, die er schnell wieder entfernt hat (wie bemerkt von@OccyVRS). Nächste@PetrolDavesagt uns, dass es nicht möglich ist...

Das ist eine ziemlich seltsame Situation, oder?

Ich fordere hiermit heraus@Cairusdie Lösung hier zu posten, da sie seiner Meinung nach möglich ist. Wenn@Cairushat in diesem Forum keine Antwort gegeben,@Cairushat sich gerade gewaltig blamiert!

I don't have to prove anything to anyone here... furthermore, if you want others to work for you, share a complete ECU image of the car here

@PetrolDaveIch bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Entwicklung im Bereich SFD für OBD11 wirklich Priorität hat. Sie scheinen sich damit zufrieden zu geben, nur ein Lesegerät mit der Option einiger Schnellfunktionen zu sein. Ich habe die One-Click-Apps für meinen Sperr-/Entsperrton verwendet – viel mehr würde ich nicht tun, aber für einfache Dinge, bei denen ich keine Lust habe, mich mit dem Programmieren zu beschäftigen, funktioniert es gut genug. Ich würde gerne irgendwann lernen, wie man Langcodes schreibt, aber im Moment funktioniert diese Lösung gut genug – seit einem Jahr gibt es keine Probleme.

Allerdings muss es einen Grund geben, warum sie (offenbar) nicht interessiert sind – wenn das der Fall wäre, wäre OBD11 eines der besten kleinen Tools, die Sie für VAG-Autos kaufen könnten.

Probably the same reason as mine. There have been plenty of people whose problems stopped working and he fixed it.
