What did you do to your mk7 today?

Good riddance :-D

However... Ever since I no longer have a car with soundaktor, I feel like I miss a "parameter to modify".. it felt good to have it on every now and then for some weird reason. I got attached to it, in my GTE: first I coded it to be off all the time, and then I modified my driving profiles to have it to 100% when using the electro-engine. Made the car feel like it was a muscle car

I just replaced it with BFI Stg 2 Mounts

On that last point, does anyone know what soundaktor % lines up with each of the DCC driving modes? I've scoured the internet but the most I can find is that "eco" is "low" (though no one knows for sure if it's 0%) and increases through comfort, normal, and sport. Would love to code it so eco is 0 and sport is 100 so I didn't have to dig out the OBD11 when I want some extra rumble.

While reverse engineering the FPA(driving profile) datasets, I've found the following values that are used as request signal to the soundaktor:

From the looks of it, "144" and "152" are the values that turn it off. So if you want "ECO" to be OFF, there needs to be a value 144 or 152 at the ECO profile here. However, this is me speculating, haven't tested it yet (since I don't have a soundaktor). Read more about my driving profile modifying research here: https://github.com/jilleb/mqb-fpa

On my non-DCC 2015, there was 100% in sport mode, and 50% in normal. No 0% option unless you unplugged it or recoded it in VCDS.

Yes, it's necessary.

Put on a new license plate frame. If you know, you know, and if you don't, look up the name on YouTube (NSFW).

This is some serious research you've got going on here! Very impressive. A bit over my head I think as I'm still learning the OBD11 but gonna follow this repo/wiki.

Out with the gray, in with the black (soon, haha).

Cleaned it.. Was nescesairy.

You missed a spot.

Looks like a ceramic coating demo.

Threw on my power fold mirrors . Got the German version this time because of Blind spot monitoring. Quality of the China units are great which is what I had on my 2017. I do see any huge difference between the 2. So glad to have folding mirrors once again.

I need to do this. Just moved to a small sidestreet in south philly with curb parking lol. This needs to be next on my list.

Got my tinting re-done, 35% all the way around except the windshield.
5 years ago when I moved from Staten Island where the police generally leave you alone if your're tinted - because virtually everyone's windows are tinted - to The People's Republic of New Jersey, I removed the tint from my front windows.
I was afraid I wouldn't pass an inspection, and that the police would be tougher.
Since then, the tint on my rear windows began to develop issues.
So, it was either re-do the rears alone or do the whole car again.
I did the whole car.
No pics yet, but then again... You've all seen what a window tinted GTI looks like.

I rewired my dash cam. I didn't leave myself enough slack last time and I couldn't get the wire tucked away how I would have liked and it was driving me crazy. It's all nice and neat and hidden now though.
