Hey guys!! Hope everybody is well, I was wondering, could someone be able to help me with the full channel list of the pace indicators for the LED lights for the golf. This is my current channel list. However I have retrofitted a new set of lights onto the car (so its not the plain boring one) They look like this : www.carsystems.eu/golf-7-led-taillights-gti-look,id680.html Hope this helps ^^ This is my current channel list :     I have read that this is not doable? Would I be right in saying that, and if so why is that? Because I coded urban joke v1 and v2 as a test and it works perfectly fine, so is it the indicators then thats the issue? Thanks for the help! |

David: Hi. So-here's the thing about how this car is programmed - the Leuchte-set that you posted is disabled (I suspect as factory coded). The interesting question is why? My hunch is that this car was factory built with Incandescent lamps in the tail-light fittings (the fittings that you call "the plain boring ones").
In terms of your question as to whether the pace-car effect can be programmed into this car - I suspect the answer is NO. And the reason has nothing to do with the fact that you were able to program Urban Joke into the tail-light behavior. This car will permit each of the traditional Leuchte-sets for the tail-light to be programmed any way that you want (of course assuming that the programming is correct).
The reason why pace-car can't be programmed on this car is NOT because of coding limitations - the problem is physical!
Think about how this car was built. Specifically, look at the picture in your link showing the "before" and "after" tail-lights on the mk7 - notice that the number of actual lamps in the "before" tail-lights is less than the number of lamps in the LED fitting. This means that the total number of wires in the factory loom on this car from the central-electrics module to the tail-light connector is less than the wire count in the loom for a car that was factory built with LED tail-lights.
The way that the retrofitted LED tail lights was possible on this car was through the fitment of a special harness. The harness effectively dealt-with the fact that the factory loom had insufficient wires to operate the greater number of LED lamps by connecting like lighting-function lamps together.
For example - as factory built, the Brake-lights on this car are supplied by separate wires from the central electrics module to each of the left and right car sides. With the harness fitted however, the Brake-lights on this car are now joined together (it's called "paralleled") and both are supplied by the ONE wire! The wire that was freed by the parallel lamps is used to supply one of the extra LED lamps. The same process happened with the inner parking-light lamps.
So, bottom line -for each car-side, the turn-signal function for both the outer and inner LED lamps on your new tail-lights are joined together and they are electrically operated from the central electrics module by just ONE wire. The laws of electricity don't allow these lamps to be operated differently if they are supplied by ONE wire!!
