Hello

I have been playing with VCDS and re-coding things.

I just wondered if anyone else has been doing the same and what have they done?

Might be worth starting a new list on what works?
 
There's not many to be honest. You can enable hill host assist if you don't have it and your car has the correct ABS module. Rear DRLs is possible (mine came from the factory enabled). That's about it really without hardware mods.

** Don't whatever you do, enable tear drop wipe on the rear wiper **

My car had hill hold assist as an option so I didn't need to add this.

I did switched the rear DRLs on as my car wasn't factory enabled.

I have disabled the stop/start system, and also coded the mirror fold on lock. As I have advance key I need to hold my finger on the handle lock pad a second longer for it to activate.

I had a play with the HBA activation/deactivation speed as I wasn't happy how it was factory set.

Changed the comfort indicator flash from factory set 3 to 4 flashes.

Also coded the panoramic sunroof and windows to close via the rain sensor, also checked I had full closure on locking/unlocking via the key fob.

I will spend some more time looking at all adjustment options to see what I can find, you could spend days on this.
