Traffic sign recognition nearly coded

Re activating the Traffic Sign Recognition; does anyone have the English instructions for the Kufatec diagnostic interface dongle? Thanks

Hello,

First of all sorry if my english is bad, because it is not my native language.

I am trying to activate traffic sign recognition or VZE on audi a6 c7 and on audi a7 for some time now but with no sucess. From all forums that I visited, this thread has the most informations about activating traffic sign recognition, so I decided to share my researches:

- I speak with the our local dealer for kufatec and I learned that this dongle is basicly an diagnostic tool, that you connect to the obd computer, and the coding is sent to the car. So basicly there is just the coding for activation of the traffic sign recognition and it should be done only with coding.
- I found a lot of settings for traffic sign recognition in 8E controller>Adaptation menu. A lot of things regarding traffic sign recognition is set to "not active", but i can not activate it, because I do not have security access code (security code 20103 only work for adaptations regarding to lane assist). Maybe M1tchy can post what he has enabeled in 8E adaptation, after he used kufatec dongle. And please post the security code if someone have it.
- I found a german forum, where some guy name scotty18 claimed that he activated traffic sign recognition using original audi diagnostic tool with parameterization of the camera 8E (I only read this thread with google translate, so I mybe did not understand this right). I have access to the original audi diagnostic tool, but I do not know where to start this parameterization, because I never done that. Any info about that would be nice.

Any other information from other useres would be helpful.

Have a nice day

Another intersting thing regardin Traffic Sign Recognition, that was posted in another forum:

Aftre coding this:

- 17 Instruments, Long Coding, Byte 05, Bit 2 on
- 8E Image Processing, Long Coding, Byte 02, Bit 0 on
- MMI Hidden Menu: car/cardevicelist, VZE on
- MMI Hidden Menu: car/carmenuoperation, VZE => 5

With only this, the error message "out of area..." is displayed and no traffic sign recognition occurs.

At this step, an interesting thing can be done :

Open the green menu, then go in "nav>Update database" and select "default" as Nav database, reboot the MMI, then VZE is working!
unfortunately navigation says "incompatible database".
You can go back to the green menu to select the right database version and reboot to have again navigation working, but then again "out of area" for VZE.
It permits anyway to play with the traffic sign recognition.
Next step: having VZE and nav at the same time!

It seems that there is something wrong in the communication between module 17 / 8E and 5F regarding the speed limit informations from the database and the speed limit signs recognition.

Ok I did try to put maps to default in green menu and I can conform that after that traffic sign recognition is working. I hope someone have some more info or suggestion because I am alone in this thread for some time now!

Divixman, I am happy to get involved but given the level of information here and on other forums all we need to put it forward is VCDS scan and green menu settings confirmatiom from someone who has this option activated. Unfortunatelly so far noone want to help. I am quite sure that this can be activeta via correct coding only

Hello,

Just to say that I do not recomend that you set your map do default in green menu like i said in post #114, because I had a lot of troubles getting my navi back to work normaly.

Hi,

After I did the "vze_enable_a6_fl.PVCPScript" with VCP I got all the menus in FIS and MMI but I can not use the VZE, it only say that "VZE is not available"
Anyone had the same problem?

[divxman]

Hello,

I do not have any experiances with VCP, only VCDS. But can I ask where did you get this script?

I am thinking that this script makes automatic coding to the channels described in the first post of this thread. You now have enebeled all of the menus, but as I read on some german forum, you must also get some adaptations on the 8E-camera software an it can not be done with just a simple coding.

Unitll I do not know what this script has changed to your coding I can not help you much.

I got this script from VCP support, I have now got some more info from VCP forum and will try to do the rest om the coding
