VCDS

Post by Petegas »

I decided to invest in Ross tech VCDS and now with a bit of playing I have installed a reversing camera to my RNS315 enabled the built in Bluetooth in it as well enabled my rear speakers and set my daytime driving lights so I can turn them off through the mfd on the dash (this save battery power whilst the ignition is on) đź‘Ť

If you go into central electrics. Long coding, long coding helper, byte15 bit 7, Daytime running lights (DRL) adaption active (MFA+). Tick ✔️ this one then exit don’t forget to click on “do it” Then when you go into setup on your dashboard lights / vision you can enable or disable Dayt.r.light

There is also a VCDS option to turn off the DRL while the handbrake is active. I used to turn the DRL on/off via the MFD setting (and still do on occasion), but the handbrake option covers most of the times I want them off (ie. when the car is stationary).

I got it from http://www.cars-equipment.com/ but it ended up expensive as I got stung for import tax by DHL before they would deliver it , once received I found it easy to install
