Howdy,
I've just purchased a Harbor Freight trailer, installed the lights, got a 7 blade to 4 pin adapter installed on the Tiguan for the trailer to connect to, now I'm at a stand still. I need to turn on the trailer lights module (I think, I'm a newb in this stuff) I don't want to purchase a Vagcom or go to the dealer. I would love to purchase a obdeleven to accomplish this at a much lower price (so I think). Is it possible to turn on the trailer lights with the obdeleven scan tool? Or am I stuck with my first two options? I just downloaded the app so far and checked out the apps available and so far for trailer I only saw one for steady blinking, such as hazards. Please any help is much appreciated!
-Derek

I don’t know if you ever figured it out but you also need the tow control module which installs in the rear left behind trim panel, and also needed is a small splitter “Y” harness that connects under the driver side dash. I purchased a used tow control module through eBay (came from Lithuania) for around $65 and I made my own splitter harness for under the dash. The OE tow kit is $320-$400 and I didn’t want to pay that! When parts are installed there are a few coding bits that need to be done which can be done with OBDEleven.

bumble: Does "Confirmation of installation change" in 5F need a Pro or Ultimate license? Nov 21, 2024 10:09:51 GMT

whataboutthis: le4dsoldier if you have a pre 2024 VAG motor that is supported and you have the Pro or Ultimate license you can code Adaptions and long Coding but after 2024 SFD2 STOPS YOU. SFD Can be unlocked but basic plan only allows you to use OCA Nov 21, 2024 16:52:53 GMT

whataboutthis: fliew you need to share more info, car year have you coded in obd11 or vcds etc there is no magic button to revert to factory setting you have to undo all your changes manually in Adaptions and Long Coding you can copy/paste if you have backup Nov 21, 2024 16:54:18 GMT

whataboutthis: zuhair3434 just to confirm you are using the VAG app for your VW and the non VAG app for your BMW, in which case if you are using the non VAG app it should work and show you the OCA. Dec 1, 2024 15:27:09 GMT

cos: hey folks, stupid (or maybe not) question on the Mk8 Golf R vs MK8FL. I have a 2024 so on the forums here it seems like a lot is locked for it. However my 2024 is pre-facelift. 2025+ is the facelift for the USD market. Do I keep following the Mk8PFL codes? Dec 1, 2024 18:26:42 GMT

fin: My Seat Ateca Was first registered in February 2024. One assumes that it was made in 2023, is there any way I can confirm whether it is affected by the sfd 2 issue without purchasing an OBD eleven? Dec 2, 2024 16:02:55 GMT

telsown: Hi all,
Was wanting to do the same for my 2.0l 2017 A3 tfsi Quattro. Found this vid on YouTube:
