Driver Profile Select

Hotwire1

Passed Driver's Ed
I took my time, sourced all the info, and parts and did the installation of the Drivers Profile Select Switch (Mode button beside the shifter)

Everything seems to be perfect, But...

My BCM is 5Q0 937 087 AN. And when I try to do coding it says that it doesn't support coding.

I was able to do the rest of the VCDS coding without a problem. But it is in the BCM that I code it to "Drive Select Button Installed" on Byte 15 Bit 5.

So, pressing the button does nothing.

Tomorrow the car goes in to have the ODIS coding done, I hope that solves THAT issue.

A Functional Enablement Code (FeC) needs to be installed via ODIS by the dealer. That is how VW parcels out features. For example, in some countries there is an additional charge for CarPlay. VW has to activate the feature and they charge you for the activation code. Unfortunately, it is not simply a switch connected to BCM and vagcom changes.

This is an excellent thread courtesy of Shapeshifter that explains FeCs: http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30577

This is the FeC I had installed for VW Car Connect Activation Code to get CarPlay after I did a MIB1 to MIB2 swap. http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31600 I had to purchase the FeC as my 2015 did not originally come with CarPlay. The activation document comes with a specific activation code, activation number and PIN code. When installed it is married up to your VIN and is a one use item. In my DIY I list all the FeC I know of and there VW part number, added below.

The part number for the Driving Modes activation code is 5G0054809. It can be purchased here: http://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/vw-...4809-software/
