Some, like me may have unsuccessfully attempted the VCDS tweak on the Stemei.de site entitled Activation of the horn acknowledgment at DWA + when locking and unlocking the vehicle. My understanding is that an alarm siren is needed to make this tweak work.

The Stemei.de tweak above was one of the first that I tried when I got my cable and I have been searching for a way of using the car's horn as a substitute for the anti-theft siren since those early unsuccessful attempts. The task was not made any easier by the cryptic nomenclature in VW's descriptors for their adaptation channels and by the fact that the BCM is still mostly in German in Ross Tech's label file for this control module. Anyway, fortuitously in the intervening time VW released the mk7 in USA and after comparing the BCM admap on a few NAR model vehicles with my car, the answer to my search became abundantly clear!

I acknowledge the contribution of my forum colleagues on VWVortex who generously sent me the admaps from their NAR cars for this tweak - and thank you also Mr VW America!

The following instructions will allow your mk7 to sound a short "beep" whenever the car is locked and/or two short "beeps" when the car is unlocked (using the key-fob) without the need for an anti-theft siren. This VCDS tweak uses the car's native horn as the acoustic medium.

I've tried this tweak and I can confirm that it works for my 103TSI.

VCDS Tweak - Lock/Unlock acknowledgement without Anti-theft siren installed

1. From the main screen select 09-Cent. Elect
2. When the BMC screen opens, select Security Access-16
3. Enter the magic number 31347
4. When the main BCM screen returns, select Adaptation-10
5. Change the settings in adaptation channels shown in theTables below to the "New Setting" (without exiting the Adaptation screen). Remember to press the Add Log button after each channel change to record the amendment made:

In-car setup procedure
After making the changes in the tables above:

1. Press the CAR button on the RHS of the Discover-media head.
2. Press set-up panel on the bottom RHS of the next screen
3. Select Opening and Closing
4. Ensure that the entry Acoustic confirmation (see below) is ticked
5. Remove the tick in this panel to disable the acoustic feedback if needed at a later date

EDIT: An interesting observation - when the car is locked and then unlocked using the key-fob, and left unlocked without physically opening any of the doors (or the hatch lid), the car will automatically re-lock after a period of time (about 2 minutes on my car). This is not a consequence of the VCDS tweak change above - it's part of VW's security system for the car. It probably occurred on my car in the past, however after implementing this tweak it's just that the "beep" sound from the car's horn now makes the automatic re-locking process more obvious.

Good day.

pinut: does your car have a siren installed? If so, set the last adaptation channel to not active

i dont think my car have a siren installed...
will need to re-check again...

thanks for the heads up...

will update again once i get to work on it...

I have the new polo but asking here because no Polo VCDS thread and the polo reverse camera is the flippy VW badge kind like the golf so I suspect it's similar?

On our Octavia RS we can enable the reverse camera while not in reverse by hitting the parking sensor button on the console. It's really handy for making sure the rear of the car is juuuuust inside the garage closing area to maximise the space in the front of the car (small garage!).

2018 Polo seems to have a button to turn on the camera but it's always greyed out. Only way is to physically place the gearbox in reverse. Does the Golf have the same functionality as the Polo and therefore maybe a code I could change? I'd really like to allow the RVC to be turned on at will for parking purposes.

hi all,

its me again.

i just recently did a swap of my radio.

Before.
Attachment 42618

After.
Attachment 42619

After i am done. The unit is able to playback SD card, link to blue tooth and so on.

What happened is that I lost the Driving school mode and also lost the options to set my lights and some settings under opening and closing.
Under the Lights settings, i only have the instrument cluster brightness settings.
I can no longer set how long my coming home and leaving home time.
I can no longer set if I want my DRL to stay on or off.

I too lost some extra settings under opening and closing.
I can no longer set the closing during rain options.

Any idea on why is that so and some pointers would be helpful.

Wow, I can't believe this is my first post here as I'm quite active on other MK7, TDI, Subaru and BMW forums. Hi all! I could use an assist here. My 2015 Golf TDI failed the Virginia state inspection b/c the fog lights must not be active when high beams are on. :-( I have tried to ensure that all the settings are back to the "stock state", but the fogs still remain on when I turn on the high beams. Anything that you see that I'm missing? ANywhere else to check? I have 14 days to figure this out... Thank you!

^^^ Bummer about the inspection, but you will need to look through the values for ALL the adaptation channel settings (by which I mean the settings for the complete 19 x adaptation channels) in the Leuchte-sets for the fog-lights. Look for the leuchte-commands in my instructions. If you find them, simply change the channel value to "not active"

Thanks for the reply Don. Can you help me with what you mean by the "19 x" channels? Is that "19BLK" etc?

And is there a way to just reset the whole thing to factory settings (or would that take a re-flash)?
