Anyone in the Chicago area willing to do some tweaks for me? Will pay and travel up too 100 miles.
can i reload log file as backup or just a reference to back up manualy?First do a scan and save the log file. This will establish defaults you can revert to just in case.
It's a reference of what was originally there, and shouldn't be too much trouble to reinstate anything you've changed. I'm not sure if there's a way to reload the default, but I'll let someone with more experience chime incan i reload log file as backup or just a reference to back up manualy?
This ^^^Does anyone know whether there's an option in VCDS to force the headlights (when in auto mode) to be turned on by default whenever the windshield wipers are on? In NY, state law requires lights on with wipers. but some days are not dark enough to trip the headlights and I end up running with DRLs and wipers unless I switch it manually.

My headlights do come on with the wipers, but only on normal and high modes, not with intermittent.This ^^^
Most vehicles with auto lamps I have owned did this automatically. Wipers on = lights on.....

Bummer...... VCDS gurus?Tested it...
Not on my '13 SE. Wipers at any setting leaves DRLs on.

Not in the case of headlight when raining laws. Most are written to include running lights and tail lights. The only way that happens is for your actual headlights to be on, not just DRL's.Are the DRLs not considered to be "headlights" to the local authorities?? It's a light nonetheless.
I figured the running lights would come into play.Not in the case of headlight when raining laws. Most are written to include running lights and tail lights. The only way that happens is for your actual headlights to be on, not just DRL's.

You dealer is either playing dumb or they are!Took my 2014 SEL to the dealer for a 3 month courtesy check. I asked the service manager if he could calibrate the fuel consumption gauge 105%, as it overstates MPG about 5%. He had no idea what I was talking about, and his service guy had no idea either. Is this something I need to do on my own, i.e. buy the cable?
This should appear at the beginning of this thread with the other mods. Good for us northerners....It is possible to have the HVAC remember the last setting of the heated seats by going to select control modules; 08 auto hvac; adaption 10 under advance functions; select channel in the top bar; you will find retention of drivers seat level. Go to new value and select active or active for 10 mins. Passenger appears to not be installed
I did this for the driver's seat only. Passenger side is possible, but I've heated up my yogurt too many times on the way to work (alone) to leave it onThis should appear at the beginning of this thread with the other mods. Good for us northerners....

I enabled Fogs as DRL. You can have just the fogs, or fogs and original drl as you DRL. I did in on my cousins '12 Passat last weekend, I will do it on my car when I take delivery of my '13 this weekend.Starting this thread to keep track of VCDS tips and tricks which apply to the American Passat. A lot will carry over from other models, but this will give one spot to look for Passat owners.
Here's a list of links:
Enable Rain Sensing Wipers. 2012s come with this turned off.
Enable Rain Closing Feature. Shuts all the windows and sunroof when the alarm is set and the windshield gets wet.
Remote Control Windows / Sunroof. As of April 2012 we do not know how to enable remote control of the windows. I was able to get remote opening / closure of the sunroof working by changing the long coding on my Body Control Module.
Enable Voice Commands on the RNS-510 These get turned off by an update, but are easy to re-activate.
Thanks,

Yup. Can't enable something that isn't there.Hope I'm not too late to the party on this, but just tried to enable Rain closure on my '14 SEL Premium and alas, no Rain sensor. The drop box is grayed out in the Central Electrics module.
