What can we do with VAG COM for our cars?

Ok i know we can turn off cornering fogs and activate alarm chirp, but what other features can we activate on the MK5's?

self explode. Flamethrowers, just about anything.

Selective locking, auto locking (if you cba to do it by pressing the button)

There's a setting for LHD/RHD I didn't get round to testing

Hows the auto lock work? Just like when u close the doors?

 

[m0rk]

When you drive over 10mph, the doors lock

 

[Spurt]

You can sort the locking at 10mph by holding down the button.

 

[daveyf1990]

Yea that's how I did mine

U can adjust the feedback of the steering wheel too i think, sure i saw an option for it once.

Ohhh, now that's interesting Would love to tweak the steering a bit and make it less playstation like..

For what it's worth, I hired a new Polo shortly before I bought my Ibiza and the steering on that was dreadful - it was like steering a corpse, with no feel at all.

In comparison, the Ibiza set-up is vastly better, although I admit that I would like a little bit more feedback from it.

How or when do you do this then?

Would any SEAT dealer be able to do these changes via vagcom?

I had a fiests 1.2 a few weeks back. The engine, colour and thing steering wheel was awful.. BUT the handling was amazing for a standard car especially the steering feedback. Much better than my Boc for feeling. Who knows if extra weight could improve this.

I agree with the steering issue...almost without feedback,it's too soft...completely different story on a Fiesta ST.

I had a Fiesta 1.25 hire car (after some cheese ran into the back of my Suzuki 1250 bike) last year before getting my 1.6 oil burner. Certainly a more 'pointy' setup than the Ibiza and arguably more fun on tighter twisties but at speed it just felt twitchy and no where near as stable as the Seat, oh and the engine was poo compared to the 1.6 Seat weasel

I've been pondering getting VAG COM but so far I'm not sure what I'd change with it, it would be more diagnostics I guess should I have a problem with the car. I'm not that bothered about turning off cornering fogs (quite useful where I park the car at home) and I'm not a fan of beeping things so would not care about the unlock chirp. Other stuff maybe.

Yes, but don't hold your breath they know how

when stand still just hole down the lock button in centre console.
