Winter coming early this year is it?

with reference to the daytime running lights.. i see it says scandinivia etc but do we have this on our uk cars and just need to activate it in vag.com ?

 

[DanGB]

probably, it proably just means it turns the lights on all the time. Try it out. You cant do any damage by changing these settings. Have a play. its trial and error with some of these.

I have a leon mk2 December 2005 (without aux-in), are possible this changes on my model?
which vag-com cable i have to buy to get these changes?
what it costs? is on e-Bay?
then sorry,too many questions but i wants this modify .... thanks

 

[DanGB]

nothing to do with VAG-COM. you just need to run an appropriate cable in to the CD changer input.

 

[manuelerosso]

what?i don't understand you....i don't have the cd changer so how i can meke this modifications on my car...what cable i need?

 

[DanGB]

Your Headunit will have a CD changer input on it, so you need to make or buy a cable that goes into the CD changer or something. Im not sure exatcly.

 

[manuelerosso]

sorry...but you don't have understand my problem...i don't have any cd changer in my car...and i want to access to the vag to modify that parameters....what i can buy???
(what are the differences between mk2 and leon 1p???)
thank you

 

[manuelerosso]

can you post me a link of the vag-com cable i can buy for my leon 2005 (mk2 or 1p)?
only a link from e-bay or another site...

 

[DanGB]

Sorry I think I misunderstood you!

1. Mk2 Leon and 1p Leon is the same thing.

2. I would only buy a cable from the Ross-tech site. But you need one which works with CAN-BUS.

 

[manuelerosso]

ok thanks...but why in this e-bay auction
http://cgi.ebay.it/OBD-2-KKL-409-1-...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1317&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

this cable says compatible with
mk1 yes
mk2 yes
1P NO???

if i buy this cable is the same thing?the ross cable is more expensive.

[DanGB]

That ebay calble will not work . You need one that supports CAN-BUS.

Does anyone know if the Leon has any codings for instument lights? On Audis (and I think VWs) it is possible to turn the instrument cluster lights on permanently (ie. when driving lights are off) and even tweak the lights individually (dial, needle etc).

Had a look with VAG-COM over the weekend but couldn't find anything so I guess this module is not present.. unless anyone knows any different?

 

[DanGB]

doubt it, the only way I think wold be to have your lights on.

 

[manuelerosso]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp me..... what cable i had to buy to make that modify......???????

Just like to say thanks Dan for the guide. I managed to get past the checkout page on RossTech and ordered my MicroCan cable.
Just a quick question though. I have enabled the 'Coming Home Lights' and the 'Leaving Home Lights' but only the 'Coming Home' function works (the lights stay on for 20 secs and then switches off but when I open the door I get nothing?)
