Oddly enough it doesn't show up in the error messages on OBDeleven. I took it to the dealership today to see if perhaps it was something mechanical. They looked and were puzzled because my car doesn't have brake pad sensors. They said that only the R have them.
Should the mirror dip work for both mirrors or just passenger side?

Just passenger side
There are a number of different manufacturers of diagnostic cables for VW/Audi/Skoda vehicles in the VAG group. A Google search will identify them if you are interested! The more common cables are VCDS from Ross-Tech, VAGCOM Pro from VAG-tech, ODIS -from VW and the newer generation bluetooth dongles (not cables) like OBDeleven (OBD11).
All these cables have their advantages/disadvantages. I personally prefer the newest VCDS cable - HEX NET, because it is very stable product and it doesn't require any ongoing fees - but it is expensive! HEX NET can also be used as a dongle (WIFI), or as a cable! I have a VAGCOM Pro cable as well - its good too, but I wouldn't recommend it if you are not an experienced cable user as it's not easy to use - plus it's also expensive and there are ongoing fees!!
Which option suits you depends on your personal preference and how you intend to use the device - and what price you are prepared to pay! Because you are a newbie, or if you don't believe that you will be a big-user - it might be better to start with a "low-end" device like OBD11.
OBD11 can only be used if you have a good internet signal at the point-of-use. If you garage your car in a basement, consider this aspect! The other aspect of OBD11 is the Android operating platform (not sure that it can be used on Apple devices - I think not). I find OBD11 to be very slow compared to HEX NET and it doesn't have some of the VCDS features that I find to be useful, but it is much cheaper -so I can forgive OBD11 for these deficiencies!
But the choice is entirely yours!!

PS: As to your question about VW dealerships, they generally don't/won't make the sorts of changes that are discussed here. This doesn't mean that they are somehow deficient in their skills - it's just that VW Head Office doesn't condone making these types of changes as a post sale service. VW likes their vehicles to have standard features as per factory settings!
PPS: The final point that's worth noting (given your newbie status) is that making changes to the settings in your brand-new car has its benefits - but it also has its risks. Proceed carefully, try to make a few errors if at all possible (because this is how you will learn), but make sure that the errors are reversible!!
PPPS: .........And a final, final - very important point. DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY A PIRATE/FAKE CABLE!! Don't fool yourself into believing that you are somehow innocent in the act of IP theft simply because you are a buyer. Such considerations are self-serving nonsense!! Those that do buy fake cables invariable find-out that their purchases use out-of-date software that won't work on many of the newer features of the mk7 (the software can't be updated!!)

I have a question right now because I just ordered a set of led bulbs from Deautoled
On this video we can see how dim the flashers are with the stock setting
https://youtu.be/pMX1O818mqc
Im trying to do the same as This video except I Don't want the inner lights to open with the brake lights and flash ,but I do want the outside lights to turn off completely like that (basically keep the stock look except making the outside lights turn off when flashing)
We can see what I want at 0,22secs

Edit: this is something I can deal with if someone have the codding !

Help, can't seem to find instructions on how to code my power folding mirrors with this obd11, was able to code them to fold in when parked but still need to be able to tell the car I now have motorized mirrors and puddle lights...

mathcsx: Just a word of caution about your tweak change. There's nothing wrong with what you are proposing, but be aware that by making this change the Single Sided Parking Light function is also fully illuminated (to 100%) -it's the "Parklicht rechts" command in your picture that enables SSPL (an entirely different command is used for SSPL for the left-side DRL). This means that there will be a higher current drawn from the battery for an extended period of time when the car is not running and SSPL is selected. Not a problem if you have plenty of charge in the battery, or if you don't leave SSPL turned-on for a long period, or if you have LED lamps. But it is something to be aware-of IMO

Well I didnt touch anything in there except the dimmwert Ef that I switch to 100 instead of 26, im not really sure to understand that correctly ?

Don (the god
) is saying that channel also controls the parking light (6th line down on pic) so your parking lights as well as side lights will be full brightness if and when you use them so make sure you don't leave them too long when parked up unless you have jump leads for the flat battery.
