Mk6 GTI VCDS ( VAG-COM ) codes

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but I haven't seen the information anywhere before.

After a bit of messing around, I was able to code both buttons on the center roof console for Information (little 'i' picture) and Service/Breakdown (spanner picture) to numbers of my choosing. I now have the breakdown/service button calling VW roadside assistance and the information button calling my VW dealer.

For those interested, under the Telephone module --> Adaption in VCDS there are four items at the bottom of the drop down list. Two for each button, one being a 'roaming' version. The Service/Breakdown coding requires 7 bytes which are entered as their raw numeric values. So for VW roadside I entered 18 00 63 71 81 00 00 (note padding with 0's for the last two bytes). The Information number requires 8 bytes, again pad with 0's for the extra bytes.

Could not access 46 Module on MY11 Skoda vRS

I saw a video on youtube where a guy found a code for flashing LED DRL's. If you youtube "DRL easter egg" you'll see what I mean. I would be keen to give that a try.

One thing I would like to change is to stop the LED DRL's from dimming. When the headlight switch is on "auto" they are full brilliance, but whenever the headlights come on, or when the headlight switch is set to "park lights", the LED's dim down to about 50%. I would like them to stay at 100% at all times. Anyone know if this can be done on VCDS?

Other VCDS mods I want to do:
- fob window open/close
- alarm chirp when lock/unlock
- cluster staging
-custom RCD510 welcome screen

Interested to hear any other cool or even silly mods....

I should clarify I have an Adidas edition with the dynamic cornering xenons with LED DRL's, and the LED tail lights.

For what prupose would you want your DRLs to flash like that?

Are you aware that the DRL dimming during the indicator is a legal requirement? It's so you can spot the contrast of the indicator. I don't think you'll be bale to change that.

The custom welcome screen is from Create your own custom bootlogo for RNS510 and you can only do it to the RNS510, not the RCD510.

Hope that helps

My DRL's don't dim for the indicators, only when A) the headlights are on, and B) when the park lights are on.

Are you sure that it's a legal requirement? The only cars i've seen that do that are Audi's, yet every second new car has LED DRL's these days?

cluster staging is already on these forums, under dancing needles.
i always thought the key fob auto window feature was already installed. i know i can do it on my gti as i used it a lot when my car sits in the sun and i walk up to it and open the windows up before i get in

Yes it is, just worked that out today. It's only taken me 9 months (including a hot QLD summer) to work that out.....

do you know whether VCDS can be programmed to shut the windows with just a single press, rather than press & hold? Because really, whenever you lock the car, you're going to want the windows to go up....

sorry, no idea, i usually hit the window up button when i take the key out as i park the car up. key doesnt need to be in the ignition, or rather u can take the key out asnd it still closes.
also, it takes only a few seconds to hit and hold, probably gives u time to be aware of the cars surrounding as well i guess
