Hi there,

I have purchased a VCDS cable from VAG Diagnostics (VAG Diagnostics Ltd - VCDS Vag-Com 908, 912, & 10.6 Cables) in order to switch my headlights into Tourist mode so that I can drive on the right when in France, but having problems trying to do this as when I select the control Module '55 Xenon Range', choose Adaption 10, then select the channel called 'Activate left/right hand drive switch-over' it only shows the stored value as 'Unknown' rather than inactive/active. The cable comes with v10.6.4 of VCDS but I cannot use any other version as it says if I do then it can damage the cable itself.

I did spot an old post in the A3/S3 forum (http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-...ve-switchover-2012-xenon-plus-headlights.html) and I think I may have the same set of headlight as the guy who opened this thread, as when I look in the log I took the Xenon controller number is the same. As a total newbie to all this I couldn't understand after reading that thread whether I was snookered or that there is a way to make the change to tourist mode, but not in the way you would normally do it (as I outlined in the paragraph above)

If anyone could give some advice to a total novice to all of this and let me know if I'm totally wasting my time with the cable and version of VCDS I have bought to use with my particular model of A3 I would be grateful.

Here is a copy of the log I took if this is of any use?...

Cheers,

Dave

You have a cable running (old) hacked software, this is the reason you cannot update it, the hacked software pre dates your cars software, this is going to be your biggest stumbling block.

Personally I wouldn’t connect any hacked software into a £2K car… let alone a £20K+ one, however it is your car and your choice.
