VCDS - How To Guides - MK3 Leon 5F

[JekaE]

guys i`ve tried to do the reverse passenger mirror thing and it didnt work , how ever now the window wont open or close fully , each press will only open/close the window for a little bit , it takes like 10 presses to open or close the window.
I`ve tried to change the settings back but without much luck , i might have chosen some thing wrong in the drop down menu as it was my first time.
Can any one help ?

Try resetting the one shot window.

Push the down button - keep it pressed for 5 secs after the window is fully down
Pull the up button - keep it pulled for 5 secs after the window is up

that should have reset the window.

I'm running 15.7.0

So, installed 15.7.1, but.. HEX Firmware update is needed, from 1.92 to 1.94.
Is it in car or in software? Can I update it without having trouble?

Did you download the version that corresponds to your cable ?

There are various versions of VCDS

Heh, do not know. Colleague gave me an USB cable which I plug in to the car socket under the steering wheel (LHD), with VCDS 11.11.2 on CD.
He performed update of his Audi Q5, which is older as my Leon MY2015 so it works for him.

Mine 11.11.2 ended withprevious mentioned error message and new version require update of HEX firmware.
But I do not know what is HEX firmware?!?? Is it in the socket of car? Can I update it?

No - it is built in to the genuine cables.
I think the only way to upgrade the hex firmware is to change cables.

I did not attemp to update HEX firmware, because I do not want to make any mistake.
But it asked me if I want to update it.

What is HEX firmware??
Can I launch update process or..?

I am not sure.

I have an official cable that gets updated automatically and free.

 

[slamka33]

What I understand under "HEX Firmware" is firmware in electronics in the cable (hidden in end-plug).
Am I right?

That is what I said three posts ago

I tried to update it as it was offered, but error message appears: Unable to Update...

I need to find VCDS version which already knows Leon ST 5F and is working with HEX firmware 1.92.
Any experience, advise which version VCDS???

Great subject following


Any one has an idea about changing xds level? Is there any bad effect ?

I'm used to a mk7 golf and how whenever I came to any complete stop it would apply the brakes until such times as I engage the clutch to move off again where it would release the break... Is it possible to amend the leon to do this via VCDS or is it just a factor of the e-brake on the golf?

i thought cupras come with this as standard

pretty sure that its only an E brake feature!

I have found a group on facebook with some interesting tricks on!!

like this

outer tail lights as DRL that also dim with indication and inner tail lights activate with brake lights!
