I wonder maybe if module is for a LHD car if left door is drivers. An OBD ELEVEN is the next best after VCDS and FAR FAR better than the others you mention and it is NOT just for fun things and the $30 and $70 are about as useful as t+++on a bull in comparisonHi everybody!
I have a problem with the electronics inside my 2016 Golf Alltrack. I shall provide some background.
Off the top of my head, the problems I noticed included:
- Activating right indicator lights up LHS mirror indicator, RHS mirror indicator remained dark. Had to cover LHS with black tape to prevent any more close calls at round-a-bouts,
- Activating window lock at the master switch caused a child lock fault,
- Master window control driver door window switch worked for drivers door, front passenger dead, rear left activated both rear windows simultaneously, rear right dead. Windows go down and back up,
- Opening the driver window causes a "key not found" error to intermittently pop up (ranging from 1 second to 10 seconds). Opening the rear windows even a crack stopped this,
- Driver door latch would intermittently pop up saying door open when it was closed (happened 2/3 short trips on and off, on and off),
- Start/Stop function at lights would fail on start up and I would have to put the vehicle in P then restart the car and it would have an a range of electronic errors which would go away after turning the car off again,
- No electronics were available on the front passenger door,
- Front cabin lights flickered as if there was a loose neutral,
- Activating auto-hold function popped up with an error,
- Reverse camera intermittently decided to not pop up on the screen,
- Reversing with the mirror switch set to L no longer dips upon entering R.
I had the vehicle diagnosed by VW and they concluded that I would need a new door control module to fix various issues.
Due to having trust issues with dealerships from past experiences, I ordered the genuine part through the dealership and installed it myself.
All errors and alarms have gone away. But I'm missing a few functionalities/mix ups as follows:
- Opening the driver door shows up on the dash that the front passenger door is open.
- Opening the front passenger door shows that the driver door is open.
- The driver door master window switch for the passenger window opens the driver door window and the other three window switches are inactive. But the both switches on the rear doors operate correctly.
- No mirror indicators function,
- Mirror reverse dip doesn't work,
- Mirror heaters don't seem to be working (I tried to check using the consumption monitor on the head unit).
My question now is what should my next step be. Is there a way to swap the driver side configuration and play around with the window/mirror functions? I have ordered an OBD2 cable online and have been conflicted on which bluetooth dongle to buy or even if that will help as the you-beaut ross-tech wireless is $500 odd/USB cable 3 VIN licence is $199, the OBD11 is $150 odd seems to be more for the fun stuff but then there are the cheaper $30 options or even the $70 Jaycar OBD2 dongle.
Thanks in advance for your time.
