enabling horn confirmation on lock : Golf GTI Edition 35 2012 Mk6 : VCDS VAG-COM

horn confirmation was something I had enabled by a forum member way back in 2007 (!)

So something I wanted to have back in the Edition 35.

This time I bought a genuine cable so I can play with VCDS for this car.

The change was made via

Select

>09 Cent Elec 

> Coding 

> Long Coding

Arrow keys until it selects the right Byte, then toggle on 

Locking Confirmation via horn active.

heres how it should look (not my actual car, just an example, ignore all other toggles/settings, leave them as they are)

Do It!

thats it, now enjoying knowing your car is locked without turning around

Notes 

• Module 46 although visible is not available (its been merged into 9)
• This change was not possible through Adaptation, I had to do it through Long Coding path

buying a 2nd hand Micro-CAN genuine cable : VCDS 18.2 to allow access to Golf GTI Edition 35 MY2012 Mk6

In order to view fault codes, perform some 'tweaks' I reckoned it was time to finally buy a VAG-COM cable.

Options : Genuine VS Ebay Clone (which cannot be updated)

I chose to support the developers and I scanned ebay for a 2nd hand cable for VAG-COM VCDS.

Buying a new one would be £225 as is 3 VIN limited.

But the older versions also support my needs.

In the end I plumped for a Micro-CAN cable

Lots of info here http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/old-interfaces/uC.php


this supports everything I need for the 2012 Mk6 Edition 35 (short of Turbo mode).
All for £150

Downloaded VCDS 18.2 from below (running on a windows 10 laptop) , hooked up car and its all working..

Golf GTI Edition 35 cabin filter replaced

Musty smell when transitioning from ac on to off or back again.

£10 off eBay.  Get the charcoal version.
2 minute job

Seems lots better. Result

Golf GTI Edition 30 now sold!

the cars journey continues with new owner Dan.

Dan was a  pleasure to deal with , and I hope the car delivers the amount of fun I've had with it.

116,000 miles over nearly 11 years of ownership

The Edition 30 truly is a performance bargain
