VCDS / VAG-COM settings to make GTI needles dance upon ignition

Can you turn off the Xenons through the Vagcom? Apparently they are always on to be used as DRLs but I don't really want them on during the day...

I think so. Maybe even the same way as the regular DRL's (without VAG COM). As i dont have them though i wont know til i play with the codes.

Update: just received my car and the dealer had managed to change the coding and now I have sweeping needles!!! The guy from service has also disabled the Bi Xenons so they are not on during the day time! Now I'm a very happy/proud owner of my GTI!

Thanks dude....!

Update: I think my leaving home function isn't working... Coming home works but headlights won't stay on after I turned off the ignition. Will observe it for a few more days before I go in to the dealer

Its the operation, read the manual, its different to the MK V's and i believe it needs to be activated before you lock the car for it to work.

Simply turning it on does not turn it on.

You have to flick the high beam before you exit the car to activate COMING HOME each time
