Is it possible..........

Hi,

Got an 8P A3, 2008 (Pre facelift), 2.0TDi SE Sportback which has auto lights. Is it possible in VAG-COM to set the side lights to "always on" when the ignition is on.... a sort of "DRL Lite"?

TIA,

Paul

yes

you can turn on DRL with vagcom - it will be the dipped halogen if you have halogens or the dipped beam with xenons

american settings is just the front, scandanavian is rear lights on as well

i think its central electrics in the long coding helper

Can this be done on the 8L too? I always have my side lights on so for them to come on automatically would be nice.

i dont think it works on the 8L - there is no central electrics module in the same way as the 8p

on my b5 the drl was an option in Scandinavia - i added a relay and switch that bypassed the lights switch by copying the wiring diagram for the scan /usa model - all wiring was done at the light switch on the steering column - i just tapped in to the relevant wires.

Yeah its in 09 long coding for 8P, in the 1st 00 byte I think, RT wiki doesnt have 09 list online to check but its easy enough to see.
