If I enable some things on my 14 reg Leon does that void the warranty?

I think it would only ever be an issue if (a) they actually knew you had been changing settings; and (b) they could prove that any fault with the car requiring repair under warranty was caused as a direct result of some settings you had changed.

Can anyone in Surrey/Sussex/Hampshire code stuff for me? I'm getting an ST soon and would like the rear DRL's, HVAC stuff, mirror lowering, and needle sweep

Had my seat leon fr for just over a week now. Bit of a newbie to all this but does anyone know where abouts I can purchase a cable from so I can have a go at some of this stuff myself? Cheers

You can get ungenuine ones from http://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-vcds-12.12.0.html and this is the price you wanna pay.

Just dont expect it to arrive any time soon and be flawless running when it gets here.

Anyone with VCDS in Cumbria ?

Yep, where are you based?

Is it possible to code the headlights so the DRL's are not on when the headlights are? I keep seeing Leon's and think there is too much headlight going on!

 

[AndrewJB]

The DRL's dim when headlights are on.

 

[Max M4X WW]

Yep, I just think they would look better if they were off.

I can do it for you. I am in Farnborough area.
I have the same model, just finished doing a bunch of coding. Very happy with the changes!

Does any one know how to disable auto Aircon?

Let me explain, when I turn the dial to put it on the windscreen it automatically switches on the AC and you have to press the AC button to turn it off. Does any one know how to disable this?

Air Blower

1. Select 08 – Auto HVAC
2. Select 07 – Coding
3. Select Long Coding Helper
4. Move to Byte 11
5. Bit 6 - Enable Blower Status Display in AUTO mode active

What does this actually do?

 

[gbru]

Nothing more than the speed of the blower via LED on the rotary selector when Auto is selected.

Is it possible to change the default settings of the driving modes via VCDS? And more importantly is it possible to get rid of the retarded D - Sport mode. As im sport or cupra mode and manual and driving say 50mph and then switch back to D, the tranny goes to sport and drops a gear and this is getting very annoyng!

Thanks!!
