Anyone in Hampshire that can code xenon's?
« on: April 03, 2013, 10:13:01 pm »
I'm currently buying a set of xenon's, but I've been told they need to be coded otherwise they flicker.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Would be much appreciated  :happy2:

Hi buddy,

I have full VCDS, while I've never coded Xenons in before I've seen the check boxes under the long coding helper on my car, I'm sure armed with a guide I could manage it. (he says...)
Are you doing it with the wire to the CEC for shutter activation or not worrying about that?

I'm in Berkshire so fairly close, will do it for fuel and cola tokens.  :love:

You'd need the Kufatec wiring loom and I would need to know if you wired up the additional wire to the CEC for the BiXenon functionality, or whether you are using Halogen for high beam, and whether you are running the auto-levelling. :happy2:

No that's fine. I've never done it as I said so I can only go on theory but, I believe what happens is; (with a Kufatec wiring loom)

By default;

1) The Xenons will work for dipped  beam and halogen would work for high beam on both forward and pull back on the stalk.
2) The in-car levelling adjuster will adjust the beam (he thinks..???)

If you run a wire from the wiring loom to the CEC under the steering wheel, you can have it so when you flick the full beam switch forward, you activate the BiXenon functionality.
You can also then install self levelling if you do desire.

I kind of understand what you mean. According to other people if you code them
They're fully functional as they should be?
Apparently the coding just stops the light flickering and knackering the ballasts
Is this what you mean? My numbers 07772580348 if its easier to text

Yes, but what I'm saying is that I don't believe the Bixenon part (the shutter) would work, you need to run a wire from the light wire to the CECM I believe so it makes the shutter lift up and likewise go back down.
Coding them in will stop them flickering and doings weird things

The in car leveler will not work on Xenons. You will need to fit the auto leveling parts for this to work.Also you may need to remove the leveling switch inside the car as it may fail the MOT according to new legislation. As in if its fitted it needs to work.
