Vagcom - Services for hire

Been considering this for a long time coming.
Finally decided to make this as my part time job.
After all I do need to recoup the cost of the equipment right? Haha.

My Vagcom services for hire is now official.
The services is available for any VW, Audi and Skoda vehicle.

What can I provide?
Basically I can provide a full vehicle diagnostic to ensure that your vehicle is all fine and dandy.
I will be able to inform you about hidden error (ie, errors that do not trigger a checklight on your meter cluster) and also the resolution for it.

Apart from diagnostic, I will also be able to enable/disable features and functions of the car that you never know existed.

For example, on the MK6 Jetta in Malaysia, below is some of the functions that can be enabled or disabled.

Alarm beep on lock and unlock function & Auto Rain Closing function

Total amount of fuel to refuel (in Litres)

Additional example of features/functions will be found here and here.

The cost for the services will be as follows
- Polo Sedan / TSI - $30
- PQ/PL Platforms based - $50
- MQB Platforms based - $150

The cost includes the following job scope
- Full diagnostic of the car
- Enable/Disable functions of the car
- Free Enabling of discovered functions in the future (no future charges)

If only diagnostic is required, it will cost a paltry $10.

The reason why MQB platforms based cost so much is because there is alot of functionality in the MQB platforms to play around with. Some of the MQB platforms examples are as below.

Options to disable/enable Daytime Running Lights.

DRL dim when signal is enagaged. Brightness of the DRL can be adjusted to. Individually at that.

Driving School Mode - Driving information display in your headunit.

Enable auto closing in rain and also alarm chirp on unlock and locking of the car.

The million dollar question.

Will it void warranty?

No. It will not.

Vagcom - Golf 1.4 TSI MK7 Malaysia - Needle Sweep/Staging

I work on this quite a while back.

Was trying out the multiple functions of the MK7 controllers, and my word, there is just too many functions to play with. I have yet to have time to explore everything completely.

Basically a lot of the functions can be controlled all the way down to the brightness of the U-shaped LED bar.

The interesting thing is, unlike the bigger brother on steroids, the Golf GTI MK7 laaa, the Golf 1.4 TSI has its needle sweep/staging disabled on startup.

What I did was to play around and managed enable it as per the video below.

I got a happy 1.4 MK7 owner there.

There is still more to be discovered as I go on.

Now, if only I have the time.

Vagcom - Polo Sedan (6R) 2014 CKD Malaysia - needle sweep/staging capable !!

Had the opportunity to play around with a Polo Sedan (6R) via Vagcom over the weekend when I was home.

Found out that there is actually more to meet the eyes.

From the time I had with the car, I managed to discover the following.

Single Door unlock

Press unlock button on the remote once, driver door unlocks. Press again, all 4 doors unlock.

Front Wiper Tear wiping

Front wiper will perform a final wipe about 5 seconds after the previous wipe cycle to try clean up remaining water drips that may still be on the windscreen.

Emergency Lights Flashing

Emergency lights (Hazard lights) will flash together with the brake lights upon hard or emergency braking to alert motorist behind you. Default will be only brake lights will flash.

Lane change flash
When the signal stalk is tap lightly, the signal lights will blink 3 times. This is usually too short, so the blink count for this car is raised to 5 times to gives more visibility.

Interior Lights activation with rear lid

Cabin lights will turn on if the boot lid is opened via remote.

Sensors tone settings

The reverse sensor tone can be changed to a different tone (9 different beep to select from) and also the volume of the beep can be adjusted to be softer or louder.

Refuel Amount
Display Amount of fuel (in litres) to refuel to full tank

Alarm beep on lock and unlock
For this particular unit of Polo Sedan, the locking and unlocking of the car is literally via the sounding of the car honk. Owner decided that the honking is too loud and thus this is not enabled.

Finally, the ultimate will be this.

The Polo Sedan is able to do a Needle sweep/Staging on start up. Looks good eh?
I'm guessing this could be the first Polo Sedan in Malaysia with needle sweep/staging on startup?
*fingers crossed*

Other functions that I've discovered but do not have the time to trial and test it out will be

- Coming Home lights

- Leaving Home lights

- Daytime Running lights 

- Cornering lights

- Instant fuel consumption / Average fuel consumption display

Will work on it once I have the chance with the car again.
