FOG LIGHT MOD WRITE UP
I GOT THIS WRITE UP OFF ANOTHER FORUM THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE IT ITS THE WAY TO TURN ON YOUR FOG LIGHTS W/O OUT ACTUALLY TURNING ON YOUR LOW BEAMS. PAGING ANY1 IN NYC WITH A VAGCOM ILL PAY TO USE IT.
FOG LIGHTS ON WITH PARKING LIGHTS (Daytime Running Lights [DRL]), BUT NOT LOWBEAMS
(Supposedly only avail on 2002 models)
NOTE: I have bi-xenon ecodes installed.
1. Log into VAG COM
2. go to 09-Central Electronics
3. Click on CODING
OK so, here's the wierd thing, my coding was set to 03 (Conventional Halogens / USA). I set the coding to 13 (Xenon headlights / USA) and there wasn't any difference w/ how the foglights turned on. I set the coding to 14 (Xenon headlights / Canada)..... sawwwweeet.
Here's how it runs now
- Fog lights now turn on w/ city lights, when you put your switch on the parking light position.
- When I turn switch to low beam position, fog lights turn off, city lights stay on.
- Same position, fog light switch pulled, fog lights turn on!
NOTE: I believe have a late model 2002 (Dec), Even though my car is a 2003. perhaps this is why I can do this. Thoughts?
EDIT 02.05.07 - So this coding actually activates Day Time Running Lights. In otherwords, once I start the car, the fogs, city lights and rear tails turn on for duration of trip. I might turn this off, or experiment with other country codes.
QUESTION ABOUT THIS MOD: I read on ross-tech that Radio and Climate control lighting is affected by this mod, any idea what that refers to?
...and one final question: WHERE THE HECK is the door chime coding/adaptation found?!
Thanks in advance guys, hope this helps...
