Since I had a really hard time gathering some popular options to be coded on my Octavia MK4 while avoiding one click apps, I figured it would be nice to post a summary of my findings so far. Some I haven't tested so please do let me know if they work. Would also appreciate if some can be added. It really sucks there is not a big list of features for this car to be coded, one click apps are too expensive.

Would genuinely love to apply a couple of these, however, having read through plenty of posts regarding software issues I'm not keen to start messing about. Would be interesting to hear others thoughts, perhaps those who've applied any of these?

Go here and read through the Golf MK7 Most of theses apply across the platform https://www.autoinstruct.com.au/manufacturer/volkswagen/ Or you can look here. They all work and some have worked on our Kamiq

BEST ALL TIGUAN ELECTRIC MODS.docx

Anyone got any they can add to these? Considering purchasing an OBDEleven unit to try a few of these out...

Ist there a way to make the ambientlight brighter? In my opinion it is too dark and maybe there is a coding for it? Thanks for any help!

Caved in and bought an OBDEleven device + Pro plan in their recent sale...

Have attempted to activate standard cruise control numerous times via the above method but it doesn't work.

I've read elsewhere that you can only do it via One Click Apps, could it be that OBD11 have now blocked you from manually coding it?

Real shame like as I've implemented a few other bits and bobs, some from above and others I found elsewhere. It's a really nifty bit of kit, can't tell you how it feels to no longer have to manually switch off lane assist every time I get in the car 😄

Not really wanting to use One Click Apps after reading in some places that they can cause issues, but if it's now the only way to enable standard CC..... 🫤

can tell I'm new to OBD11, turns out I haven't been using the security access code, didn't know I had to lol

what's your car? The Octavia 4 facelift has SFD2 Protection, meaning most of the control units are locked and OBD11 cannot write. Some units can be temporarily unlocked, but it will not work everywhere tho.

I have pre facelift Octavia IV.

I managed to activate standard CC in the end, I didn't realise to make changes on that particular module you have to enter a security code, DOH!

Where do you find the security code?

OBD11 will usually find it for you, as in show it on screen, but you then have to manually enter it yourself. That's the bit that was confusing me, it would come up with the security access code (don't recall it off the top of my head, something like 30407 though) but you then have to input that yourself. I thought cos it was showing it to me, that was it, but apparently not

Thank you for that. I am going to order the device with the Pro Pack.

That's what I did a few months back, no regrets whatsoever

To my surprise, having steeled myself to pay £119 for the device with a year's subscription, there was a code to get 30% off. I tried to order from the website and pay by card, at £90 and some pence including postage, but their website would not accept my full address, so I changed to PayPal, and paid £88.22 because postage was less that way!

Yep, got a similar deal myself (paid around the £90 mark anyway) My next piece of advice though would be to buy a battery charger. I recommend the CTEK MXS 5.0 although I've heard good things about the NOCO Genius 5 too

If you're going to spend any amount of time messing around with OBD11, which you undoubtedly will as you familiarise yourself with it, then you'll need to be hooked up to a charger to prevent your battery from dropping out on you unexpectedly, which can in turn lead to more complicated errors as I'm sure you're aware

Thank you. I have a CTEK MXS 5.0. When I had my Jaguar XK it had to be connected 24/7. When not in use they are notorious for discharging their batteries due to all the electronics that never switch off.
