New here, first post. 2019 Golf R - North America (Canada) Background 2nd owner, was not aware of all mods and adaptations done when purchased from dealership. During a cold snap this winter car would not start, thought it was battery so replaced with new. Ended up going to shop where Starter Assist Module was replaced. When returned all adaptations were gone (not sure if battery removal or shop caused this). Knew the OBDeleven was what I needed to adjust these.
Aftermarket dynamic LED tail lights (VLand come up on product number search) after car returned from the shop for the work noted above the fluid turn signals did not work and acted as a running light and turn signal functions were on the brake light portion.
Did some research on coding and came across the DAP harness OCA. But also found other info saying that there was no record of changes in case it did not work out so did a bit more looking around and thought I found the info that I need.
I have been able to get the dynamic turn signals, brake lights and other items working correct (I believe). But I am having trouble getting the tail lights to operate correctly.
I cannot fiqure out how to get them to not be on in DRL mode and only in "Full Mode". Also noticed the brakes do not seem to get brighter. Hoping it is some simple fixes. I am overlooking.
I have screenshots of the current settings, will post once I fiqure out how to. Thanks in Adavance.

Wow - you are the second forum member that I have met in recent days that has had the courage to mix non-OEM parts from different after-market manufacturers of EU/NAR equipment - respect!!! As a preface to this reply, maybe read the dialogue HERE - because this retrofit project shares many aspects with elcabe22 thread! OK-as you will doubtless agree, the success of remote diagnostics on a forum like this is critically (and IMO, solely) linked to those reading your post correctly understanding a set of conditions that exist on a car that is secluded somewhere on a far-off continent - in this case Canada.
So, let's start by tackling our different use of words and the underpinning information for the "understanding" imperative!
- Have you made the suggested DAP coding changes (either manually, or via OCA)?
- Have you made ANY coding changes to this car?
- What is a "Starter Assist Module" and how does it relate to the tail-light problem?
- What is "fluid turn signals" - is this the same as "dynamic turn-signal"?
- Please use different words to explain "I cannot fiqure out how to get them to not be on in DRL mode and only in "Full Mode", What is "full mode" - which rotary light switch position(s) is this?
- Please provide a URL link to the DAP harness that you used on this car (DAP have lots of harnesses) and provide a copy of their suggested coding changes
- Please provide a URL link to the VLand tail-light fittings that were retrofitted to this car
- Thanks for the offer of "screenshots", but I suspect that a deeper understanding is needed of how the tail-lights are coded. Given your words, it's highly likely that the coding on this car is NOT factory standard for a North America Region (NAR) model Golf. Ain't nothing that can be done without sharing a copy the entire current coding for the 09-central electrics module. Please post-up a copy of the Backup file for the 09 module
- Which version OBD11 software are you using (Android, or iOS)? Do you have a PRO license for your OBD11 account?
- Please post-up a copy of a SCAN so we can see how this car was factory built and what (if any) faults exist!
