Some cars seem to have issues selecting Deactivated. Plug the cable into the car and to the laptop and turn the ignition on. It will show all the options that are available. This one took a while to find and props to GIAC for finding it. After the software has been downloaded onto your laptop start the VCDS from the shortcut icon on your computer and the main screen will appear. You should see a “Coding accepted” if this part is complete. In byte 29 (the last one which read 09), change it to either 05 or 06.I personally went with value 06 on my car. There are two alternative value options to pick from which work slightly differently when you press the traction control button. This first part enables the way to fully disable ESC. Make sure that new keys are always coded into free memory positions (where there is a zero in Group 003, field 2). It also assumes you understand what these changes are doing and the responsibility. The value in field 2 should now indicate 0011 in the example used, showing the old key still matched in position 1 and the new key matched in position 2.
This guide assumes you know how to use VCDS or translate according for ODB11. There is also the torque limiter that kicks in, if you have a DSG tune with increased clamping power or an upgraded clutch that and handle it, this might be something you also want to disable. In later years of the MK7 I want to say 2019+ the torque limiter disable doesn’t work and no workaround has been found yet as of the writing of this. You have the option to press a button and turn off ASR and log press that same button to set ECS to sport mode, but not disable.
But the easiest way is perhaps to buy one off and check the 4 points above, if they are ok the interface is most likely ok as well.By default the traction control for US model MK7 GTI’s are setup with both ESC and ASR full enabled. But you can not be sure that the chinese guys did all the 4 modifications as per above, if you want to be 100% sure order the kit and build it or have it soldered by someone who can. Most INPA cables from China are copies of this interface schematic (or a similar design), it is openly published so they use it. This chapter describes how to use Cisco VQE Client Configuration Delivery Server (VCDS) Application. RS232 RI (pin 9 of sub D RS232) is connected with OBD pin 16 (+ battery feed to detect battery signal) over a 1k resistance (shorts protection, the diod is polarity protection). Pin 1 of OBD is connected to DSR (pin 6 of a sub RS232) over a 1k resistance (for shorts protection)Ĥ.
uses DTR instead of RTS (pin4 on sub D RS232)ģ. I’ll go over the basic interface, how you auto scan for fault codes, do progra. pin 7 and 8 of the OBD interface connectedĢ. This video shows the basics to the VCDS software for VW, AUDI, SKODA and SEAT.
Here the mods it has over the std interface above:ġ.
Here the mods a std OBDII serial KL interface needs to have to be BMW diagnostic tool compatible (works also with BMW scanner demo, would assume Carsoft would also work but have’n tried it as Carsoft doesn’t bring anything when you have INPA/NCS and GT1), as modified schematic and in words: Please observe the 1-4 OBD reference is for the internal connection card to the OBD socket, the schema below lists the corresponding OBD pins. Here how a true KL interface looks (work for std OBDII serial diagnosis software (not ELM type software)): You can most likely do the modifications yourselves to the interface (if you know anything about electronics and have a Volt/Ohm meter to check for Voltages and contact over the pins)ġ00% compatible with INPA and DIS (actually with EDIABAS STD:OBD) It could be your interface which seems not fully following the special modifications that an OBD serial INPA/GT1 interface should have on top of a standard serial OBDII interface. This is a 100% compatible interface and the explanation + schematics over the BMW mods. Only short the Pin 7&8 from my vcds cable, and use it for bmw? It is possible to use an “old” vcds or vagcom kkl cabel and use it for newer bmw (2004-2011) with the software inpa? Here, you will get answers to questions below:
