VCDS - Enable Display of Gear while in D & S

[tonipepperoni77]

UPDATE. I revisited this after months of being really disappointed at not being able to see the gear # next to D/S, so I fired up the ol' OBDeleven and tried again. As before, I got the same error (Error 71 function not available). So I tried switching diagnostic service modes to VW diagnostic mode, and voila! In that mode the change took effect! Results were instantly verified. I am so happy now. This feature should have been provided stock.

Can you post a full walkthrough of what we need to do?

I can, but if you have an R, it won't work.

Isnt it standard on all VWs?

No. GTI and Golf R have DSG. Golf has tiptronic auto

Do you mind sharing how to access the diagnostic mode? I'm trying to code this in wife's MQB Tiguan but getting not supported error.
