1p LED rear light VCDS coding help

[gunnergibson]

I see, I was under the assumption it updated the module but if that's the case I have VAS with a genuine dongle and am willing to code your lights F.O.C gunnergibson if you're interested?

Absolutely.. I'll drop you a pm

Good man. Drop us a pm and we can make postage/delivery arrangements.

I've got an external DVD/CD drive and HDD that I use to write the info so as long as it's got a USB drive it should be fine.

If you buy a decent VAS bluetooth dongle I'll sync that to it as well. If the laptop doesn't have bluetooth you can get adapters off the bay for £1.50 - I'd recommend the semicircle shaped ones.

eBay item: 321239040897

Comes with discs and lead but the software is often poor and the bluetooth adapter slow, the head I bought of him was good and UDS compatible, it was for another garage to use, they've had no problems with it.

This is a genuine unit: 221308664072 might be worth an offer, I paid £900 for mine.

And this dongle: 190895772735

Not heard of VAS before, what is it exactly?

Big thanks to MJ who coded the lights today.. All working perfectly.

MJ tried to code another member's pre facelift vehicle.. It sadly can't be coded to run led rears... Resistors only.

A friend of mine just installed a set of used ones that he have bought and it was just plug and play, no codification needed, he have one 170cr from 02/2010.

I recently found that seat one are made by valeo. Valeo also sell's it much more cheaper than seat, valeo references are:
044622
044623
044624
044625

Hi does anyone on here no wat I have to do to have these lights coded I have been everywhere an no mechanic can seem to do it via the VCDS can anyone help I'm in the Manchester area I have a pr facelift Leon an but AV a facelift boot lid the lights AV the same plug but only stay on for about 5 seconds I've spoke te a few people an they say can code via vas but others say I just need resistors

 

[MJ]

pre facelift needs resistors.

 

[James p]

Thanks for reply do you no which resistors I need also will they still need codeing by seat

 

[MJ]

if you fit the resistors the light will go out. there's no coding for the pre facelift.

 

[James p]

Okay thanks mate I'm not much good with electrics is there any chance you could give me a link to some resistors please.

 

[James p]

Do you no wat resistors I need tho 25w or 50w the lights wat are not working are the stop tail lights and the side light the brake lights work but the others won't stay on longer than 5 seconds

I'm also wanting advise on which resistor and where's best to fit them

 

[James p]

Hi mate I used 25 w for the sidelights and 50 w for brake and indicator I order from eBay with some scotch locks was easy to do once I figured out wat wires to attach them to

Thanks for the reply buddy. Would you mind posting a couple of pics of you get a spare 10minutes? Would add some value to the thread and be very useful to me.

Was you pre FL?


50w 6ohm have been suggested on a thread on retrofitting LED lamps to the Skoda Superb
