What built in extras can be turned on via VCDS?

[andybon]

Just wandering what can be turned on via VCDS and is built into the car. Just wandering as when i've done the door lights and boot pop i might as well get them to turn on a few other bits at the same time.

I already have the auto lock feature turned on, What else can be done?

Also can anyone reccomend someone around the North west who has this?

Here's a few:

- rain sensor closing (windows & sunroof)
- DRL'S via fog lights or indicators
- unlock all doors with one touch
- teardrop rear wash (can't remember what this is  )
- beep when lock / unlock
- adjust number of flashes indicator does when tapped once

Also on Mk6 golf / Scirocco from Feb / march 2010 you can activate XDS - all of them have it as standard (dealers charge £240 to fit as an option)

Appropriate hardware needs to be fitted also. CECM, CCM, etc.

As said above, you need the module to do that. It's more of a retrofit, rather than something you can just "turn on"

Like the sound of the auto closing windows and the beep when un lock/lock. What's the tear drop rear wash?

[Matto]

Tear drop is when once you have washed the windscreen or rear window and the wiper has stopped, it will do one last sweep a few seconds later to allow for any drips to have run down the glass.

^^^Mine does that...every time I thought I'd left the rear wipers on!

With the rain sensor window closing does it mean you cannot have the windows open when it's raining?

^^ I think its just for when the car is parked

Yeap, when the car is parked, keys out of ignition, doors locked/unlocked and your windows are open  (your indoors watching TV) and it starts raining. Will close by themselves. Great little touch and really works as well.

VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) is Windows-based software that allows a PC to act as a diagnostic tool for VW/Audi/SEAT/Skoda vehicles.


Have a look on here. The only place to buy it really....

I bought my cable from Nigel (NHN) on this forum. He can supply a genuine VCDS cable and then you download the software of Ross Tech's website.

A very annoying, pointless and very stupid looking feature. (In my opinion)

- adjust number of flashes indicator does when tapped once

I turn this on via my highline for the 3 flash - so the amount of flashes can be changed as well with vcds?
