No,it is possible,I switched to facelift BCM and facelift Gateway because of retrofit of facelift headlights.

I am only saying VCDS is useless here.
It can be parametrized with other tools e.g. VCP,but you need a lot of experience not to brick the module.
So with facelift is the vcds useless all together now? Or just in this application please?

You might find that a VCDS V2 or HEX-NET interface might do coding, the HEX-CAN USB will not work on some of the late Audi modules so possibly the same with late Seat, VW and Skoda cars.

Anyone figured this out. I have the same issues since installing the rain light sensor and new switch with auto position from a polo

Hello everyone, i was inspired by another thread on this topic on here, however this was for the pre-facelift model 13-16 year. seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=4714012

I have ordered a new model (MY18 i think) Leon FR Titanium Technology, these were pre-specced cars so unfortunately there was no way to alter/add options to it. Hence why I'm here :D

On the thread i linked above, a few users with the new model Leon's like mine have tried to do this but cannot find the options in VCDS to do it. So i am asking for help to anyone who knows how to do this on the new model Leons. Or could anyone confirm if the part numbers in the previous thread will work for Light sensor and Light switch.

I have full access to a Vag-Com, just want to know if i can defiantly order the parts from the previous thread,as they still look the same from the previous model.

They were:

-RLHS Sensor: 5Q0955547A

-Auto Light switch: 5G0941431AF


Any help much appreciated. Auto Lights is an invaluable option for me personally :p

Thanks.
Hi @Darren_NI.
I used the same parts on my 2018 FR with no issues.
I coded with OBDeleven using a guide on this thread....

Cheers mate. I got carista thinking it would do but cant seem to change the settings. I'll need to get obd11. Will I need the standard or the pro to be able to complete the modifications.
Hi. I believe you need the pro version to be able to do mods.

I can confirm that the standard version only allows you to make changes using apps plus error codes.

You will need to get Pro if you want to make any code changes yourself, just in case you did not know you will also need a OBD11 Dongle the one you have for Carista will not work with OBD11.

Mind if I ask;

When you bought the part did you also have to buy the sensor with it too?
