Hi!

I received a request to remove the flashing light feature from a Volkswagen Golf VII, as the TÜV (German technical inspection authority) does not approve of it.
I am aware that for lamps 16 and 17, I need to select the "L/R Bright Phase" option for light function A.
I'm not familiar with the other settings or their original values, and I don't know where to find them.
Does anyone know of a resource that explains how different settings should be configured (e.g., light function B, dimming value AB/CD, light control HD AB, light function C and D, dimming direction CD)?

Best regards,


Florian.

Hello Florian,

If it truly involves decoding, you can compare these values.

Then it will be alright again.

Hi,
"That's just a gimmick that people buy to fancy up their car. Maybe the customer unknowingly bought the car used like that."
Then go back to the seller. Otherwise, contact the creator of this light organ.

Good morning and thank you very much!
The car was, of course, acquired in that manner.
The customer has now informed me that the StartStop function has been deactivated using Carly, and he would like it to be reactivated. Can you tell me which coding is required for this?

I will definitely let you know if it works out.


Best regards,


Florian.

Okay, I have good news. There was a communication misunderstanding with the customer: it turned out that the issue was only with the "pace car" flashing when using the hazard lights, which is relatively easy to reprogram. The normal turn signal was still activated when turning.

I also immediately activated the start-stop system, which wasn't a major issue either.

Thank you for your help!
