A6 C7 VCDS Tricks

[DB22]

Hope this helps

So, if I understand things, there are some people who are saying that there is a way to make the numbers larger, but cannot decode what that method is, and others who say that they have looked and cannot find a way.

Is that a fair summary?

Who would know?

[DB22]

I do not see how to make the "stopped" duration longer. I sent Ross-Tech the issue but they didn't even know the security code. The options may be different depending on location I.E. ROW, US SA etc.

Your Assessment is correct and this thread is the most advanced that I have seen on this subject.

Are others seeing the same page as my attached picture?

DB, I can see your attached picture at post #304, if I click on it you get a large image that can be read.
You are correct as most the other discussions are talking security codes.
Can you post your full channel adaptation map after entering the security code: here's mine that can be modified:

Channel	Value	Field 1	Field 2	Field 3	Field 4
1	98	00000000 01100010	N/A	N/A	N/A
2	65535	11111111 11111111	N/A	N/A	N/A
3	1	Heater On	N/A	N/A	N/A
4	1	ON	N/A	N/A	N/A
5	1	ON	N/A	N/A	N/A
6	1	ON	N/A	N/A	N/A
7	1	ON	N/A	N/A	N/A
99	0	OFF	N/A	N/A	N/A

[DB22]

I have never seen that display and I don't know how to do it either. Can you give instructions please?

[dap1974]

No problem, Its under the Applications button on the main VCDS screen.
1) Click Applications.
2) Click Controller Channel Map button.
3) Input the Controller Address number (eg 13 for ACC).
4) Input the Login or Security Code for that controller/module (91153 for ACC). (I had to put 12345 and then add 91153 at the second screen to get it to work?)
5) Under Function select Adaptation.
6) Under Output select CSV (the file outputted can then be opened in excel and manipulated as my previous post was).
7) Click Go and the file will be stored in your VCDS/Logs folder.
Hope this helps, post your results when done ;-)
(You will get lots of channels that say Error not available, I've just hidden them before posting above, but you shouldn't get any that say security code required)

I'll get to it when I can and post. Thanks for info..

Last night I enabled "Starting off with pretrigger by driver". This now allows for the one second time out, which then disables the ACC, so I then do a pretrigger but I do not know how long the pretrigger hold before it turns the ACC off. The infor above is from the file that I got from your instructions.
