I'm pretty sure I could see the xds stuff and steering on my 2010 Leon... I use obdeleven though which is vcds for mobile and only about £60 for the Dongle and pro licence...

I bought Carista so can't afford other products.
No worries, it's not an issue :)

If you're ever in Rutland I don't mind plugging my OBD in for you and having a look.

Are you planning on changing the steering so when sport is selected it uses dynamic or something similar?

I've seen something like this

Permanent sport steering:

Control unit: 44 Steering Assistance
Adaptation
Name: Characteristic curve of steering assistance
Old value: Driving profile selection button
New value: Dynamic

Thanks atm I am getting used to the control but do find the steering a little heavy, so am thinking about lightening it a bit.

I am not 100% sure a 64 reg 1.4 tsi fr has XDS fitted?

I don't have a sport button/ setting - or haven't found it yet - I did think the sat nav in car mode might give me that option but can't find it.

Best wishes,

John

I guess the best way to find out is to plug it in and see what options you have, XDS maybe a little much like you mentioned but I assume it's all in the same area. I can plug into my Leon and see what I get, unfortunately it may be totally different on yours as mine from 2010 and you have an Ibiza haha
