Footwell Lighting Dimmer

Hello,

"I've had the footwell lighting (with LEDs) installed in my Touran 1T3 (GP 2) since March 2014, and it's been working perfectly so far. However, my wife is now complaining more and more that the light is too bright during nighttime driving. With the MFA, you can dim it down to 20%. In my Golf 6, there's an option in adaptation channel 35 to lower the value even further. However, the Touran doesn't offer this. VCDS says "Error/Channel not available." How can I access this, or how can I unlock the channel? Does anyone have any ideas?"

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"aus" translates to "from" in English.

PS: The issue with the trunk light is a separate problem that my local dealer still needs to address (under warranty).

Best regards, Achim.

If all else fails, use the incandescent bulb version instead of the LED.

Besides the (in my opinion, more pleasant) warm light tone, incandescent light bulbs have a different current-to-light characteristic and become dimmer with the same percentage of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).

It doesn't seem possible to select these characteristics in the BCM system. This feature (probably only available in the past) was present in the BNSTGs.

I was also considering soldering a resistor into the wiring leading to the control unit. However, if I do that, the light will also get dimmer when I get in the car. I'll see what I do.

Best regards, Achim.
