VCP is not needed for seat sound.

[leonlad]

i have managed to apply seat sound to a mib2 technisat unit with just the use of carscanner app pro.

i stumbled on this thread which gave hope without having to get vcp and zdc files like i did with my first mib2 unit.

https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/436166/

however why go to the trouble of editing datasets when i already have the correct ones from a vcp patched unit already, so i just copied the data sets from the enabled mib2 unit and wrote them to the new unit and it worked.

i used a vlinker mc+ ble elm327 unit and carscanner pro. you can also add fec`s with this too. its bloody brilliant.

just replace these strings for both data sets with seat sound ones.

This is great and possibly very useful - thanks! I remember you saying on another thread you changed your sound config from 5 door to 3 door - is that one of the bits/bytes in these datasets (because I would be changing it back to 5 for an estate if I were to try this!).

And yes CarScanner Pro seems great, especially for those comfortable with bits & bytes - compared to OBDeleven it appears less polished (in my initial forays so far) but it's also far cheaper and works with cheap generic ODB wireless interface dongles/adapters.

No, car type is a different setting. This just activates seat sound where it splits audio and gives the subwoofer setting.

Car type you can change after, let me know if it works, make a backup of the string you currently have also before changing.

Backup done and checked against your files above in Excel - same length but lots of changes (283 bytes changed in 0x3000, just 4 changed in 0x3B00)!

Will give your files a whirl in a few minutes..

saves a trip to a coding guy.

The sound quality changed instantly when i did mine.

Hi ive done mib1 swap to mib2 and i lost my subwoofer control menu, i wanted to use car scanner pro and add it back, just like you. When i connect with Car scanner pro go to coding i have no option such like dataset dump, am i doing something wrong with connecting or whats the reason.

You need the actual pro version paid one

i have paid one, but when i go to coding section and scroll down beetwen dashboard and doors i have no dataset option to choose.

Don't know off the top of my head. Maybe the ELM device ??

i tested 2 different obd devices i dont know what the issue could be... But thank you for the replay maybe someone else will know whats the reason

You have to enable 'experimental features' in the settings of Carscanner ('info' menu in mine) then the option will hopefully appear in the menu to do the dump.

Worked like a charm!
Any chance the boot image can be changed to Seat Sound System?
And btw I'd like to appreciate your efforts via buymeacoffee)

You know that obd11 can Edith the EEProm?

You do know Carscanner is far cheaper?
And does not require a yearly subscription like OBD11 does (or did last time I checked). Also Carscanner works with cheap generic obd ELM dongles whereas OBD11 make you use their own specific hardware.
