Hello, it's me again, I came across this video : at the very start of the video it can be seen that when he unlocks the car the taillights do a cool little effect. (please watch the first 5-6s of the video)
I was wondering, is this possible for us to code something like this on regular VW Golf MK7 taillights?
If so is it possible to do something similar with the headlights?
Thank you so much in advance!

There are plenty of things to play around with the "Standard" incandescent rear lights. This is:
Turn signal from Lock/Unlock on the outer lights to full intensity (Probably US Standard)
Ramping (Interior Lights or something else) for both rear lights to parking light intensity.
Thats basically it - for EUR it is a lot of fiddling around with interlocking and Minimize to 0 for unwanted bulbs whithout ignition.
Also you might tamper hot and cold diagnosis with these, so you might have to diable that, too

Hello,
Thank you for your quick reply, it is appreciated.
Do you have any idea where I can find the code for these type of styles or "effects" if we can say?
Unfortunately I am not a master when it comes to the electronics of the VW's or any car in particular haha, so it would be greatly beneficial if anybody could help with some sort of code to use as an example
Are they forums of examples? Or perhaps YouTube videos?

David David: Hi again!!!
To add to newty sage advice - here's the thing: the 35 x exterior lights on MQB platform cars (like your mk7 Golf) are individually controlled by what I refer-to as a separate "Leuchte-set".
Each of the 35 x Leuchte-sets is a group of 19 x adaptation channels that live in the central electrics module and each channel starts with the word "Leuchte" ("Light" in English) followed by a bunch of other letters/numbers. If you open the Adaptation function for the central electrics module, you will easily find these Leuchte-sets at the top of the channel list!
Leuchte-programming isn't difficult - but like any programming languages, there are rules that must be followed (else the moist brown stuff in the loose stools WILL collide with the proverbial fan blades)!!
I wrote a set of instructions for the lighting effect in your video way back in 2017!! However, the steps in my tweak were to include the lock/unlock dance on the front DRLs. You can find these instructions HERE
Extending the lock/unlock dance to any other lamp on the car can be done with exactly the same instruction-set - but applying the tweak to the Leuchte-set for the chosen lamp(s). I suspect that this is how the tweak was done in the video

I got the one working in regards to your scripts, its looks great! Thank you so much for your help! Your always on the ball!! Now I'm sorry for being such a pain in the ass but, I was wondering could I get the indicators to do something similar like a quick blink when unlocking the car as the light comes on? Maybe I'm just being stupid now hahah.
One more thing, apologies again!!
Again sorry for being a pain in the ass, but do you have any idea of how he has coded his taillights for that sort of effect? I'm still new when it comes to this stuff!
Sorry for the hassle |

I got the one working in regards to your scripts, its looks great!  I was wondering could I get the indicators to do something similar like a quick blink when unlocking the car as the light comes on? Do this: - Go to the central electrics module
- Select Adaptation
- Enter "Acknowledgement" into the search box and select Acknowledgement signals
- Confirm/change the following channels:
- Optical feedback during locking > decelerate
- Optische Rueckmeldung Komfortschliessen >active
- Optische Rueckmeldung 3.Bremsleuchte > active
- If OBD11 asks for a security code, use 31347
..........do you have any idea of how he has coded his taillights for that sort of effect......? As I said in my first reply, you simply add my suggested Leuchte-command changes (in my link) to the Leuchte-sets for the particular tail-light lamps that you want to include in the lock/unlock dance The Leucht-command changes are: - Lichtfunktion G> Aktive Blinkfunktion hat ein auf 1 gesetztes zugeordnetes Bit in pa_dynamisch_blinken (nicht aktiv)
- Lichtfunktion H > nicht aktiv (nicht aktiv)
- Dimmwert GH > 100 (0)
IMPORTANT: the bracketed values are the default factory settings - do not proceed if these are different on your car
And the Leuchte-sets for incandescent tail-lights are: - Leuchte18BLK HLA60 Turn Signal, rear left (outside)
- Leuchte19BLK HRC31 Turn Signal, rear right (outside)
- Leuchte20BR LA71 Brake light, left
- Leuchte21BR RC8 Brake light, right
- Leuchte23SL HLC10 Parking light, rear left inside
- Leuchte24SL HRA65 Parking light, rear right inside
So, choose which lamps you want to dance!! Don

In the end how was the coding exactly? I would be interested in doing it. dv52 (Australia) |
