Change comfort turn signals count in MKVI

[bmw511]

That's the issue I have with mine... it does the comfort blinks when I save it. But as soon as I turn the car off and back on it will not stick. Seems like a software issue to me, along with my Malfunction on my Instrument cluster, "Basic Adaptation not set"... lol

Grrrr I had the 4 flashes but now they mysteriously went bye bye. I can't get this to stick on my TDI Golf now for the life of me; although having successfully done this a few months back.

Did the following:
Adaptation from 3 to 4 or 5 (while engine on and off)
Test and Save
Turned off car & then pulled key and vag-com cable out
Turned on car and still @ 3 flashes

Don't forget to go into the MFI/MFD and turn convenience light (or whatever it's called) off and back on.

I had no trouble with this on a 2011 TDI this past weekend:

I did the adaptation to 5 , then set the lighting menu back to "factory defaults" as described in another thread I read somewhere.

The comfort blink stayed at 5

really? cause in your list of steps there you didn't mention "reset to factory default on MFI"

does that no longer work for you? YOU BROKE IT

[sfpegasus]

Seriously, quail - with the extensive list of mods on your car and you can't get this simple little adjustment to work?

Back to school for you.

going to be trying this on the golf R. Hope it works!

Found this and it worked in my 2012 Golf R Thanks!

I will try this when I get home, only because my build date is only a few months before yours (04/2010) and I have a MY 2010 JSW...just to stir things up a bit, if this doesn't work with my TDi...

I did this on my 2011 JSW aka Golf Variant. It's manufactured 11/2010 and has the same Lights/Vision MFD as pictured above (but without the Coming Home option).

I did NOT have to reset the factory settings. I set it to 5, saved and it stayed, even after a few power cycles.

I'm happy to report that the setting is now functional on my A3... not sure why unless its the newer VCDS 11.11.4? Odd... but glad its working! Prior it would not hold and would reset as soon as I would turn the car off, now it has held at the new setting.

I had it done by a friend with an older version (10-something) and has stuck to 5 blinks ever since, so it apparently is not VCDS.

[dubidoobs]

worked like a charm!

updated to 5 and still on, no need for restoring to factory setting, etc.

Thanks again phatz, I got the comfort turn signals to work with 5 blinks on my 2011 GTI using your method. Like dmichael, I already had it coded to 5 so all I had to do was reset to factory in the MFI. Using Xenons + Euro switch.

When I get home, I'm going to see if I can get the fogs as cornering lights to not come on with turn signals using the same method.

Hi, sorry that was a long time ago.. But have you ever tried using fogs as cornering lights but only turning the wheel, i mean not activating with turn signals? I really don't find any coding..
thx m.

That's part of the "fogs as cornering lights" settings. It will activate at a REALLY low speed by only turning the steering wheel, or it will activate using the turn signal. It's just one setting that does both, but I think headlights need to be on.

Personally I found it annoying and I turned it off.

I totally agree with you. That one will be unchecked..

The back to Factory Settings thing for the comfort blinking worked on my Golf R as well
