GTI owner here. Any idea why my AFS swivel works fine with fog lights off but aims odd (right headlight straight, left headlight to the left) and don't swivel much when fog lights are on?

Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m a retired electrical engineer with a passion for cars. I was a heavy unit Porsche tech until age 35, when I went back to school and ended up working in Silicon Valley for 25 years. I bought my daughter an M6 2016 R last summer. When my 2010 Corvette began to require too much cash infusion, I sold it and bought my own DSG 2017 R in January.

Here I offer my first contribution to the community - an OBDeleven edit that will unchain your neutered, weak-assed Bi-Xenon Scheinwerferen in about ten minutes. I’ve tested it on my 2017 R and on my daughter’s 2016 in multiple versions and have pages of notes from test drives, pictures of different modes, technology papers from Hella, YouTube videos, etc., but I present the edit here in the simplest form possible to limit confusion and churn.

This is not the only functional configuration, but it’s the best I’ve tested so far. Some of the features it enables: missing AFS beam patterns; adaptive horizontal beam cutoff for same flow and oncoming traffic concurrently; distance beam (Fernlicht) beginning at 55 kph with extended AFS steering response.

I recommend either running the $1.50 OBDeleven app or coding to make auto light control persistent.


happy trails….

This is very helpful.
It will work on any 2016 with the full DAP, correct?

I'm trying to activate this on my mk7 17 Golf Alltrack with the LP and DAP package installed at the factory but still can't get VCDS to adapt to the new settings with the Basic Settings procedure. Has anyone else ran into this? Just went through every page on this thread and still can't really find a defenite answer on how to do this with VCDS on a 17 car. can anyone help?
