I tested today again.

And I have SOC activated, but guess when I tested before it wasn't there.

And I can't find the option to activate or deactivate on VCDS, but SOC is active.

How that's possible? Strange.

Anyone can post a photo of activation of SOC on vcds?

Thanks.

Already read. But I really can't find the option on VCDS.

Then the firmware in the car doesn't support it.

I’ve got stop-start and no luck with OBD11, does not appear in adaptation.

Having stop-start doesn't mean your car supports the ability to tell you SoC

How SOC is active? I can see the SOC. It shows on car.

As I said I guess it wasn't activated, I tested it few months before and I didn't see SOC, and other day tested and surprisingly it was there. How that's possible if the option to enable or disable is not appearing VCDS?

Anyone can write here the exact line or code where this is or make a screenshot?

Thanks.

From my searchs on this forum, most of those that could display SOC had the current sensor on the negative lead of the battery - usually fitted to the SS equipped models.

Yeah, I just thought I've read a long time ago that they didn't always go hand-in-hand. Of course I could be wrong -- I don't have either SS or the BCM attached to the negative terminal lol

I could be wrong as well

As the coding is done to the cluster module, it might be a cluster firmware support matter. Maybe even the gateway.
I was bummed when I didn’t see the option under adaptation.

Hi,

I activated automatic coming home, but can someone say if this behavior that's as it should do?

If I exit car without lock the car, all rear lights are on:

If I exit car, lock the car, only this rear lights are on, the other one switches off:

Hi guys!

So I've been partially successful in retrofitting my '16 GTI with ROW non-LED tails. I wanted to retain the NAR look and only replace the bulbs with LEDs from deautokey while enabling the rear amber turn signal.

I bought the outer housings, installed them, wired them with the BEC harness and followed the BEC (not DAP) instructions. I've even managed to code the inner lights to brake as well.

Everything works fine. However, the outer tails' running/parking/brake lights still operate along with the amber signals. Is there anyway to code them as parking/brake only like the inner lights?

I've double-checked all my coding.

I've made this short video (alternating between parking only and brakes) indicating what's going on:

cogentil: I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but I don't think that it has anything to do with coming home function! Both pictures appear to be related to leaving the rotary light switch in the parking light position with the turn-signal stalk in the left turn position. Your first picture appears to have the normal Parking lights active and your second picture appears to the Single Sided Parking Light active - what have I missed?

Hi, I discovered this mod in the SEAT Leon 5F forums but I would imagine it's there for the MK7 as well but I don't think I've seen mention of it so far (or my search is broken...). Do we know anything if it's available for our cars and if it works indeed? Non-linear throttle has always been something I noticed in this and other VAG cars in the past and if this thing addresses it will be a mostly welcome change:

[Direct Acceleration - Throttle response]
With this mod, you can change the behavior of the accelerator. Option B provides a more linear acceleration without sudden deliveries.
1 - Module 44 - Power steering. Code (19249)
2 - Adaptation
3 - Select - switching driving profile
Choices :
A - Gradual, controlled by time
B - Directly controlled threshold value
