How to Code Turn Signal Lights as DRL or Parking Lamps
Hello friends! In this article, you will learn how to code the Turn Signal Lights as DRL or Parking Lamps in cars produced on the Volkswagen MQB Platform. Moreover, the brightness is adjustable, and you can turn it off completely whenever you want.
The logic is as follows: We will make the signal lights act as footlights. Thus, when you turn off the footlight, it will turn off, and when you lower its brightness, the brightness of the signal lamp will also decrease.
Requirements
Any of the following devices:
- OBDEleven
- RossTech VCDS
- Odis Engineering
- VagCanPro
- CarScanner (Mobile App - Works with quality ELM327 OBD Devices)
Compatible Cars
This feature can be coded on all MQB cars without full LED headlights. Below are a few examples of compatible models:
- Volkswagen Golf 7 (2013 - 2020)
- Škoda Octavia (2013 - 2020)
- Audi A3 (2013 - 2020)
- Volkswagen Passat B8 (2015 - 2023)
- Volkswagen Tiguan (2015 - 2023)
- Seat Leon 5F (2013 - 2020)
- Seat Ateca (2016 - 2024)
If you want the turn signal to stay on all the time instead, replace the Footwell Lights with the following value: Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslicht, Begrenzungslicht)
Coding Procedure
Step 1: Left Turn Signal
Control Module: 09 - Central Electrics
Security Access: 31347
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Lichtfunktion C1 → "Footwell Light"
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Dimmwert CD1 → "127"
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Dimming Direction CD1 → "maximize"
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Lichtfunktion F1 → "Blinker rechts Dunkelphase"
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Dimmwert EF1 → "0"
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Dimming Direction EF1 → "minimize"
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Lichtfunktion G1 → "Blinken rechts Hellphase"
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Dimmwert GH1 → "100"
- Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Dimming Direction GH1 → "maximize"
If you want it to stay on as a daytime running light, add:
Leuchte1BLK VRB20 Lichtfunktion D1 → "Daytime running light"
Step 2: Right Turn Signal
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Lichtfunktion C0 → "Footwell Light"
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Dimmwert CD0 → "127"
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Dimming Direction CD0 → "maximize"
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Lichtfunktion F0 → "Blinken links Dunkelphase"
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Dimmwert EF0 → "0"
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Dimming Direction EF0 → "minimize"
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Lichtfunktion G0 → "Blinken links Hellphase"
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Dimmwert GH0 → "100"
- Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Dimming Direction GH0 → "maximize"
If you want it to stay on as a daytime running light, add:
Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36 Lichtfunktion D0 → "Daytime running light"
