Anyone messed with VAG/COM or the like yet to see what we can customize? I'd LOVE to be able to turn off auto start/stop and make some other "default" setting changes.

Also, anyone doing (or planning) any performance upgrades yet? I feel like the car could use some front and rear torsion bars (or bigger ones if there already are some) and perhaps some stiffer (but not lower) springs. As a VR6 plant, there have to be plenty of aftermarket engine mods available, perhaps not as many as the 2.oT, but there is a LOT of engine compartment space in this vehicle (as if it was supposed to be a V8).

I feel like I’m going nuts, under my “assistance light function” I don’t have any options that match the descriptions in the video and they are all listed under channel 9B, not 2 (I assume the channel number is what they are referencing when they write (2)?)

VCDS: Atlas Adaptive Lane Tracking & Hands Free "Trick"

I found out that my Atlas SEL Premium with lane keeping system can be changed to tracking and following a calculated center-line instead of just ping-ponging the car between the left and right lanes if you let go of the wheel. As you may have seen before, though, this only allows hands free for about 10 seconds until it shuts off if you dont follow its prompts to take over steering. I also found out you can use a soda bottle to trick the system into thinking there's a hand. Theoretically, one could drive hands free for a while. I saw this post http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7644290-Help-me-understand-how-lane-assist-is-useful-in-any-way&p=93385026&viewfull=1#post93385026 and decided to get out the VCDS to make the mod.

Basically, I believe the setting is in Long Coding Helper of module A5:


But I did so many things that I can't remember now. See my VCDS Controller Map for the A5 control module, the security access code is 20103 in case you need any adaptation changes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aasbpnwsirj8ohl/adpmap-A5-3Q0-980-654-G.CSV?dl=0

CAR Assistance Menu now shows option for adaptive lane tracking:

The following shows how someone used a soda bottle and adaptive lane tracking in their audi:

I actually went on a drive in the blasted Seattle rain and used a Perrier bottle to trick the system. It worked! It drove quite a while all by itself as I had adaptive cruise control also active. Be warned/cautioned though, I was very vigilant and kept my hands close at times just to make sure. You cannot trust it completely and should only use it as an assist...definitely not the same as my 747 CATIII autoland confidence. I took a video of my drive...keep in mind I didnt have my hands on the wheel during this clip but my non-videoing hand was near just in case:

Hey, how come this lane tracking got moved to this super-thread...not sure how burying stuff is efficient? I'm not going to get notifications to every post on this thread but would have liked that for just the lane tracking...to which I could easily and more quickly respond. Please reconsider your attempt at collating this stuff...its going to get really hard to find things...even with search.

A couple of more questions if anyone knows.

I thought the Atlas was touted as having Pedestrian (assist?) braking. I see an option in the VCDS to enable it, has anyone tried or is it already enabled (SEL model). Mine is unchecked but I found a few other options that were unchecked but seemed to be enabled.

I also tried to enable Sign tracking but got through every step (and it shows up on my radio settings) but the last one that deals with the A5 front camera module. The byte and bits in the long coding helper don't have anything to do with sign tracking (I think the byte showed the Body model 4) and none of the others seemed to have anything to do with it. I don't know if the long coding helper just isn't mapped correctly or it just isn't available.

When i was coding my Touareg, I activated dynamic beam lighting which was supposed to use the camera behind the rear view mirror to adjust the main beams (pre-matrix lighting). My reg' was a 2011 and did not have the camera. We only got it as of 2015, but in EU they had the camera from the inception. I did not know this, and ended up losing all my light functions. No headlights, AFS error, etc. It was horrible. The long coding helper would not restore the code properly. I had to have VW recode it to factory to get the module repaired. It was a major PITA.

I think the cameras are not designed to use this function on the atlas. The road sign camera system is designed to read EU signs. See this article:
https://newatlas.com/volkswagen-dynamic-road-sign-display/46993/

Hopefully you don't run into similar issues. I always stay away from features that are not seemingly part of the module's capabilities.

For some reason, my navigation destination entry is now blocked while driving...anyone have any ideas? I reviewed my settings and all menus are set to non-block...except these two:

Code:

IDE03471-ENG152571-Vehicle configuration-unblock_functions_while_piloted_driving	blocked

I have been using : testing out the centerline lane assist along with the bottle trick and it does make long distance driving really relaxing. The roads / lines suck badly at times in the south so always keep my hands on the wheel. I am getting use to the auto speed control. I never used cruise in the past because I would have to constantly adjust or brake but now it is much nicer.

I had my aunt run across the road while I was driving slowly and the pedestrian monitor didn't do anything, good thing I have two favorite Aunts. Still looking into enabling the Pedestrian Monitoring option although I thought it was standard on the car. Anyone else try this yet? Atlas SEL.
 
#125 ·
So I was still playing around with Pedestrian monitoring and it definitely is not enabled. I found the options to enable the setup / interface and it now shows on the radio, but when I tried to enable the portion that tells the system to actually use the Pedestrian monitoring (using the Long Coding in camera module (I think)), I always get an error from VCDS. Something along the lines of Index or (something) out of Bounds. I only get that error when trying to change the single bit marked as Pedestrian monitoring enabled. Any other time I have received errors it is usually something about the module not being present. So I guess the question would be is this just a mapping / coding issue with VCDS because of the beta features added just for the Atlas or an actual error back from the module when trying to add this bit?

Has anyone ever seen the Pedestrian monitoring options in their radio on the setup screens? It just bugs me that it is advertised and I just bough the 2018 model a month and a half ago.

Anyone know if you can adjust the remote start climatronic settings through vag-com?

Currently, anything below 4degC it just turns on the HVAC to Auto at 22degC, and turns on the seat warmers, and rear defrost. This does nothing to defrost the front windshield, almost useless at anything below -2degC.

It would be nice if I can change it to have the MAX Defrost on the windshield come on instead of just auto air. If possible, it would probably cause me to buy a new vagcom cable.

The above 6 channel for the 1st color, then you can set 2nd color with “*************Farbe 2”, and 3rd color with “***********Farbe 3”, ……, until to 10th color.
7). Last step, very very very important !!!
After this done, you need shut off the vehicle ignition power and waiting the digital cockpit screen totally off(nothing display), then turn the vehicle ignition on, turn on MIB unit, go “CAR” – “Setting” – “Ambient lighting” to see what happen on there and change the color then check the digital cockpit(Instrument) what happen too.
Because my car don’t replace the original “WHITE” ambient light LED tube(hardware) to multicolor LED tube, so I can’t check the really ambient light color changing in the car.

It means: On Byte 27, the 2nd,3rd,4th Binary number should be changed to “0”.
Can use this website (https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/binary-to-hex-converter) tool to do.
For example:
The old Binary value is “01011000”, the matching Hexadecimal is “58”, you want to get new
Binary value “00001000”, use the above website tool to get the matching Hexadecimal is “08”,
so just input Hexadecimal value “08” to replace the “58”, then you get the new Binary
value”0001000”. After that, exit and save.

“Byte 28”
11000010 -> 01000010

The below is some VCDS Tweaks what I did on my 2018 VW-Atlas(Execline) and tested all work well.

2018 VW-Atlas(Execline) Some VCDS Tweaks


6. Gauge needle sweep when ignition on:
1). On Select Control Module screen, click "Select"
2). Select “17-Instruments”
3). Select “Coding - 07”
4). Select “Long Coding Helper”
5). On the long coding windows:
select(highlight) “Byte 1” area, then tick “ON” the “Bit 0” selection




13. Turn on change ambient light color(4 to 10 kinds of color) function (Security access 31347 is required):
1). On Select Control Module screen, click "Select"
2). Select “09-Cent. Elect.”
3). Select “Security Access - 16”, enter the access key: 31347, click "Do it!"
4). Select “Adaptation - 10”, click “Channel” list
5). Scroll down channel list and find the below 1 channel:

( change “Stored value” {not active} to -> “New value” {active}, then click “Do it!” )
IDE09731-ENG125017-Int. light: 2nd generation-Instrumententafelbeleuchtung mehrfarbig
( change “Stored value” {not active} to -> “New value” {active}, then click “Do it!” )
6). Then you can go this web site (https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html) to pick what you like color’s “R-G-B” value set as “new value” for the below channel (max 10 colors):
IDE*****-ENG******-Ambient light color list-Rotwert Farbe 1 (R)
IDE*****-ENG******-Ambient light color list-Gruenwert Farbe 1 (G)
IDE*****-ENG******-Ambient light color list-Blauwert Farbe 1 (B)

IDE*****-ENG******-LIN Ambient light color list-Blauwert_Farbe_1_lin6 (B)
The above 6 channel for the 1st color, then you can set 2nd color with “*************Farbe 2”, and 3rd color with “***********Farbe 3”, ……, until to 10th color.
7). Last step, very very very important !!!
After this done, you need shut off the vehicle ignition power and waiting the digital cockpit screen totally off(nothing display), then turn the vehicle ignition on, turn on MIB unit, go “CAR” – “Setting” – “Ambient lighting” to see what happen on there and change the color then check the digital cockpit(Instrument) what happen too.
Because my car don’t replace the original “WHITE” ambient light LED tube(hardware) to multicolor LED tube, so I can’t check the really ambient light color changing in the car.

Thanks “Atlas123” for the new tweaks information.

HEllo,

I just got my hexv2 cable yesterday and I tried it last night. Not sure if it was because it was late but I cannot do the gauge sweep as it doesn't have the same step you are describing here. Also, for the ambient colors, I am at a complete lost on what to do here utilizing that website. What number am I supposed to enter etc. Please help :D

Hey, would you be able to elaborate on the exact changes you're able to make in the following module. I put my questions in bold.

4. Setup some climate control when “remote start”:
1). On Select Control Module screen, click "Select"
2). Select “08-Auto HVAC”
3). Select “Adaptation - 10”, click “Channel” list
4). Scroll down channel list and find the below channel:
IDE07301-Remote start function: activation of seat heating
( change “Stored value” {Seat heater front} to -> “New value” {Without seat heater and ventilation} ) Change from 1, 2, 3 setting on seats or temp it turns on at?
IDE13676-Remote start function: rear window defogger
( change “Stored value” {active} to -> “New value” {not active} ) Outside temp value that it turns on/off?
IDE07304-Remote start function: activation of seat ventilation
( change “Stored value” {active} to -> “New value” {not active} )Outside temp value that it turns on/off?
IDE07302-Remote start function: interior climate control status
( change “Stored value” {Remote start function with fixed rated temperature value active} to -> “New value” {Remote start function with last set value active} ) Temperature that climate control is set to in Auto mode?
 
#134 · (Edited)
Those setup just totally turn off the seat heating, ventilation and rear window defogger when the car remote start. They have some different channel to setup the temp and stage 1,2,3, you can find it on the below picture, I highlight them.
That day when I did the test, outside temp is 3℃, when the car remote start, it turn on the seat heating, and rear window defogger automatic, but I don't like it turn on, that is why I disable those function. That day I didn't do the test with change the temp value, but I did the test with change the seat heating stage to 1, when remote start, the seat heating turn on with stage 1.

In normal it can change the MIB unit screen and digital cockpit line color and ambient light color, but I think in NA Atlas the ambient light LED hardware only white color, so want to change the ambient lighting color, have to replace the ambient LED first. Now in China the "Teramont" the ambient LED hardware support all kinds of color.

i didn't realize the premiums had so many LEDs in the tail light. seems to me that one should be able to get a rear fog light switch and make a change that would enable rear fog lights for North America Vehicles??
