Is the vcds hex-usb can working properly on MY16 & 17 Leons?

I read on the Gendan rosstech sites that due to change to the MQB platform some components dont work properly, just want to know which if any are not accesible.


I think It's more to do with the fact that support will be stopping for the old hex can and the new one getting more support and updates!

Random auto light activation

The car is also comparing the 'front' light to the 'back' light so that's why it happens.


Usually the front and rear light sensors that are located in the rear view mirror are for the dimmer rear mirror. If the rear sensor sees more light than the front then the mirror is dimmed. The auto lights and wipers work from the rain/light sensor in the windscreen in front of the mirror not the 2 sensors in the mirror itself.

I thought maybe this is some sort of random coding that put the lights on a certain time?

Right had a look today, I think you might be on the wrong line.
I'm using VCDS 17.1.3, I had to scroll down just before the halfway point in the '09 Cent Elect, UDS Adaptations' to a line,-
IDE08542-ENG116665-Access control 2-Funk Spiegelanklappung Modus
You may not have the IDE number at the start of the line if you are using earlier VCDS.
I found the line by looking at the descriptions rather than a search.
Beware there may be other lines with very similar wording!

Just a quick update - After all the issues I've been facing with this, I got hold of another VCDS cable and now everything is fine :)

On vcds 17 it's all in English for the adaptations do I just take the literal interpretation?

Trying to do the one press mirror fold but there is no access control 2 to choose from in central convenience only production access control which doesn't give any sub menus.

Any ideas?

Has your car had the 'VW emissions' modification?
If it has then this is the probable cause.

I think you are looking at the wrong controller, have a look at my previous posts, numbers 622, 626 and 633.

Its your guides im following using VCDS 17.1.3 on my xcellence

Choose (22) Access Control , Access Control 2 Radio or IDE08542-ENG116665-Access control 2 are not present.

Using search for "Access" only "Production Access - Global" comes up and nothing for "Spiegelanklappung" :confused which is whats really strange as id expect something to come up for that.

Will try and give it a good dig later as it can only be a scan error as there are options for the mirror in general.

I would suggest doing a Full Auto scan to make sure all the control modules are recognised with no errors, if this shows ok then go to select Control modules, Select 09 (Central Elect),
Make sure 09 is Central Electronic on your vehicle.

Select 16 (Authorization), Enter Unlock Code 31347, Select 10 (Adaptation), - may be UDS Adaptations.
Then scroll down to a line 'IDE08542-ENG116665-Access control 2-Funk Spiegelanklappung Modus,
Do not use the search function.

Have you restarted the start/stop or ignition after doing it.

Mine only worked after i left it a couple minutes then pressed start.
