For the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 (Transporter T6.1, Caravelle T6.1, Multivan T6.1, California T6.1; chassis T6.1; model years 2019-2024) our catalogue lists 37 features in 12 categories. Below you see per category what we can switch on or retrofit.
Each feature shows how certain we are: “likely possible” means several independent sources confirm it; “checked at diagnosis” means it differs from car to car. Final compatibility is always confirmed at the diagnosis of your car.
Seven Tuning works in Rotterdam and Waddinxveen: the workshop is in Waddinxveen and serves Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Remote coding works anywhere in the Netherlands and abroad, when the job allows it.

Lighting (8)
Coming home and leaving home
When you get out in the dark the lights stay on briefly, and they switch on when you unlock. Can also be set to use fog lights or xenons.
Automatic version requires a light sensor.
Cornering lights via the fog lamps
When turning slowly or on full lock, the fog lamp on the inside of the turn lights up. You see kerbs and cyclists better.
Condition: Front fog lights
Daytime running lights in the vehicle menu
An option to set the daytime running lights appears in the trip computer or MMI menu.
DRL is mandatory in the EU; the final setting is agreed in the workshop.

Driver assistance (5)
Camera and sensors stay on longer
The speed at which parking sensors or the camera switch off automatically is adjusted, for example for slow manoeuvring with a van or trailer.
Condition: Parking system/camera
Hill hold – activate or adjust
Hill hold keeps the brakes applied briefly when pulling away on a slope so the car does not roll back. On Audi B8 it can work automatically.
Depends on the ABS/ESP control unit.
Cruise control in 1 km/h steps
The set speed of the (adaptive) cruise control changes in 1 km/h steps instead of 10 km/h.
Condition: ACC fitted
Lane assist – remember last setting
Lane assist starts in the setting you chose last time. Where that is not allowed, we look at quicker operation instead.
For newer registrations the system must be on at every start; we discuss the options.

Condition: Lane Assist fitted
ACC right-side overtake prevention – adjust
On the motorway ACC prevents passing on the right by matching speed. This function can be adjusted.

Trailer module teach-in
After a towbar is fitted, the trailer module is registered so parking sensors, ESP trailer stabilisation and lights work correctly.
Newer build years may need online programming.
Condition: Towbar retrofit

Heated seats remember their level
After a short stop the seat heating comes back on at the last chosen level, so you do not have to press again every time.

When you switch on the ignition, the speedometer and rev counter needles sweep to maximum and back once, just like on sports cars.

At the pump the display shows how many litres still fit in the tank. Handy with jerry cans or fuel cards with a limit.
Safety (3)
Speed warning – adjust
A fixed speed warning (for example 120 km/h) is made available or adjusted, so you hear a chime when you exceed that speed.

Brake disc drying in rain
When the wipers are on, the system occasionally touches the pads lightly against the discs, so the brakes work straight away in the rain.
Sounds and chimes (3)

Parking sensors: adjust beeps
Parking sensor volume and pitch are adjusted, or the confirmation beep when they switch on is turned off. Distance warnings keep working.
Condition: Park distance control
Door-open chime with ignition on
The chime that sounds when a door is open with the ignition on can be adjusted. Handy for vans where you get in and out often.
Audio (2)
Hide the AM band
The AM band, which is hardly used in the Netherlands, disappears from the radio menu. Searching and switching is quicker.

Only with a suitable head unit; we check this in advance.
Condition: App-Connect capable infotainment
