Headlights come on when I lock/unlock my car?

[rick_s]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to have the headlights come on when I lock/unlock my car? (I have a B6 1.8T)

My friend has a Mk V Golf and when he locks his car his headlights remain on for a while and then when he unlocks it, his headlights come on...

Not really a necessity, I just think it looks pretty cool!

Thanks

I don't think the 8E/B6 has any provision for that.

OK thanks mate, think I'll just pop down to my local Audi dealer and see what they say.
Cheers.

I am also interested in this and have a B6 1.8T, looks as if we will need a new light switch with the auto position on it and also a light sensor, not sure if is poss to retrofit and prog??

Look in your user book and you will see the light switch with the auto option....

Hi, I actually managed to find something on these forums... it was some kinda module which you could fit and it controlled the lights just like I wanted, however cant seem to find the link now!!

When I do find it, i'll keep you posted mate.

Looking at the ross-tech label files from wiki:

How do you make the adaption in vag-com to activate?

Hi,

Thanks for that. I found the info for the A4 B6 which 'm looking for:

A1,0,Coming Home
A1,5,Coming Home
A2,6,Note: Only 8E0 907 279 E/F
A2,7,
A1,8,If the system is activated and it's dark
A1,9,fog lights/parking lights/taillights/lisence plate lights
A1,10,are switched on as soon as the drivers door is opened.
A1,11,
A1,12,Factory setting: 30 seconds
A1,13,Range: 30...60 seconds (increments 1 s)

I think the car has a light sensor (e.g. the instrument cluster brightens/darkens in response to sunlight during the day).

Is the adaption the same? i.e. Select 09 (Central Electronics)Coding -> Function 07 ?

:biglaugh: loll! I knew i'd read it somewhere but I couldnt remember where it was! ...never even thought to check my own threads haha. thanks mycarsavw.



tony_anon - is this vag-com stuff something I can do myself?

Cheers

[Uwe@Ross-Tech]

So is your central electonics module actually part number 8E0 907 279 E or F? 'Cause the B6 we had as a test car from fall 2001 to fall 2003 did not support this feature...

Hi,

I'll scan the car again to get the part number. The car is a B6 september 2003. I guess that's fall 2003?

Cheers.
