VCDS Coding

Post by benhowarth6 »

Hello, hoping someone here can help me, I recently got a VCDS cable for my GTI and have been trying to code the Staging on the dials, however when I try to adapt the code it gives me the following error: Error Channel 17 Not Available. I have also tried the indicator_celebration code too but that doesn't work.

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm also looking for some other options I can enable?

Cheers

Go on the adaptation menu on 'instruments' then select indicator celebration mode on the drop down list

It is possible to add Staging to the cluster even if "Staging and Indicator Celebration" are shown as Not available

Video clip to follow soon to prove it

A tool that can read the eeprom of the cluster, i modify it to allow staging then write it back.
