Passat B8 MIB 2 issue - menu CAR - missing ASR-ESC tab and wrong skin from Passat GTE

[the_dodita]

Hi all,
From the day I bought my used 2016 Passat B8 Highline I am facing an annoying issue regarding missing ASR-ESP tab from CAR menu and a GTE skin with e-power management shown in the same CAR menu - but my Passat is diesel, 1.6 TDI...

With VCDS in "03 ABS BRAKES" I changed byte 29 value from A2 to 05, like below, but nothing is changed:

ESP on Car Menu
Select Control unit 03 ABS BRAKES
Control unit long coding
Byte 29
New Value 05

In Control unit 5F Information Electr. long coding - I changed byte 17 from value 03 in 01 - user interface Highline skin and byte 18 to 00 - none or not supported skin (or something like this, I quote from memory)
Then, of course, hard reset of the sistem... power button pressed for ten seconds...

But I still have this ugly e-manager button on my display and nothing seems to remove it from there..
Any suggestions, please?
I attached some photos:

There are adaptations that you need to change in 5F.
Can you post an adaptation channel map of 5F.

[the_dodita]

Thank you for reply! Unfortunately I am at work now, 10 hours from now I will be able to post the 5F channel map.
Thank you!

Later edit : as for me is very important to resolve this annoying issue, I took some time off from work and manged to make the adaptation channel map for 5F..

Change these adaptations:

ENG122227-ENG122301-Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2-menu_display_battery_management --> not activated
ENG122227-ENG117666-Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2-menu_display_BCmE --> not activated
ENG122227-ENG117668-Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2-menu_display_BCmE_over_threshold_high --> not activated
ENG122229-ENG117758-Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-BCmE_0x23 --> not activated

Hold down power for 30seconds to reboot MIB.
Then check.

You're great, thank you very much! The ugly e-manager button disappeared and now I have a clean interface on CAR menu... Only that the ESP-ASR tab is still missing, though... Vehicle settings is starting with "TYRES", not as it should, with "ASR bla bla bla"...

You, Sir, are the best! I spent two weeks asking again and again and nobody gave me any clue.. you made me very happy! Everything back to normal in my car, so far..
Thank you again!

Good result.
This was obviously a retrofitted MIB2 from a GTE so needed some reconfiguration to match the configuration of your car.

I don't know what the previous owner did, the car is in very good condition, not a single scratch, the interior is as new... I think he loved messing around with VCDS to the adaptations, as I got only these annoying issues with the MIB.. I have all driver assistence active and working well, like adaptive lane assist, side assist, rear assist, ACC, overtaking right prevention, etc.. The only thing missing for me is Pedestrian assist, which I don't know why he played with, as is not activated now...
You helped me a lot and I do thank you!
