Digital cockpit layouts
Different looks for the Active Info Display, such as a carbon background, a sporty layout or a different speedometer scale.
Only with Active Info Display; available layouts vary by software version.

Menus usable while driving
Settings and menus on the screen stay available while driving instead of greyed out, so the passenger can use them.
Meant for the passenger; the driver keeps attention on the road.
Condition: MIB3 infotainment
Needle sweep at start-up
At start-up the speedometer and rev counter needles sweep fully out and back once, just like on sports cars.
Only visible with analogue gauges.
Off-road view in the menu
An extra screen with compass, steering angle, altitude and temperatures on the infotainment system. Also nice as an extra information screen on normal roads.
Oil temperature on display
The oil temperature appears in the instrument cluster display. Handy to see whether the engine is warm before accelerating hard.
Refuelled amount on the display
After refuelling, the instrument cluster shows how many litres were added, so you can easily check your fuel receipt.
Sport displays in the digital cockpit
Adds extra gauges such as g-forces, boost pressure, power, torque and gearbox temperature.
Which views appear depends on engine and equipment.
Condition: Virtual/Digital Cockpit
Video in motion
Videos and images from a USB stick or SD card stay visible on the screen while the car is moving, so the passenger can watch.
For the passenger only. The driver must not watch video while driving.
Condition: MIB3; depends on software version
Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto
CarPlay and Android Auto without a cable: the phone connects automatically as soon as you get in.
Only with MIB3 infotainment.

Lighting 14
Ambient lighting setup
More colours and your own brightness for the mood lighting in the doors and dashboard, selectable on the infotainment screen.
Only if ambient lighting is fitted from the factory.
Condition: Factory ambient lighting
Cornering lights via the fog lamps
When turning or steering at low speed, the fog light on that side switches on, so you see where you are going in the dark.
Only with front fog lamps.
Condition: Front fog lamps fitted
Daytime running lights – Auto position only
The daytime running lights then only come on with the light switch in Auto. We discuss in the workshop what suits your car.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights – adjust in menu
The daytime running lights appear as a setting in the vehicle menu, so their behaviour can be chosen deliberately. The final setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights – off with parking brake
The daytime running lights go out when the parking brake is applied, for example while waiting on a driveway. They come back on when you drive off.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights – with rear lights
With daytime running lights on, the rear lights also come on so the car is easier to see from behind at dusk and in rain.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: LED or bulb rear lights; result differs per light type
Headlamp washers less often
The headlamp washers no longer spray every time you wash the windscreen, but only after a number of times. That saves washer fluid.
Condition: Headlamp washers fitted
"Switch on low beam" message – adjust
The car shows a message to switch on the low beam. We discuss together whether and how this message is adjusted.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
High-beam assistant release
High beam switches on and off automatically depending on oncoming and preceding traffic. The activation speed can also be adjusted.
Only works with the camera behind the windscreen; we check this first.
Condition: Light Assist fitted; setting to keep it switched on
Softer or brighter interior and door lights
Adjust the brightness of door and footwell lighting and let the interior lights fade in and out softly instead of switching abruptly.
Light sensor sensitivity
Sets how early the headlights switch on in Auto, for example already at dusk or in a tunnel.
Parking lights on both sides
Lets you leave the parking lights on at both sides of the parked car instead of only one side.
Poor-weather / all-weather lights
Releasing the fog-like dip or all-weather mode on matrix or LED headlamps that already have that mode in software. Without the right lamps we will not code an extra beam.
Coming/leaving home with fog lights
When unlocking or locking, the fog lights or rear lights light up as well as the headlights, so you see more around the car in the dark.
Only with factory-fitted fog lights.
Condition: Front fog lamps fitted
Comfort 6
Windows and sunroof via the key
Holding the button on the key opens or closes all windows (and the sunroof) at once. Nice for airing the car on hot days.
Mirrors folding on lock
The door mirrors fold in automatically when you lock the car with the key and fold out again when you unlock. Handy in narrow streets and car parks.
Only possible if the mirrors fold electrically.
Condition: Electrically folding mirrors fitted
Rear wiper in reverse
Choose whether the rear wiper sweeps automatically when the front wipers are on and you select reverse, or not.
Seat heating temperature adjustment
Adjusts how warm the seat heating levels get, for example a little warmer on the highest setting.
We stay within safe factory values.
Condition: Seat heating fitted
Remember seat heating
The car remembers the last seat-heating level and switches it back on after starting, within the time window the manufacturer allows.
Condition: Seat heating fitted
Extra wipe after washing
A few seconds after washing, the wipers make one more sweep so no drips are left running down the windscreen.
Convenience 6
Doors locking from a set speed
The doors lock automatically once you drive off above a low speed and unlock again when you switch off the engine.
Condition: Setting appears in the infotainment vehicle menu
Unlock when selecting P
On a DSG automatic, the doors unlock by themselves as soon as you put the selector in P.
Works together with automatic locking.
Condition: DSG/automatic gearbox
Register a new battery
After replacing the 12 V battery we register the new battery with the correct type and capacity, so charging and start-stop work properly.
Service interval setting
After servicing we reset the service reminder correctly and set the right interval (fixed or flexible).
SFD release for protected modules
Newer VAG models only allow coding after an online release per module. We arrange that session, for which the car must be online; if the release does not come through the function cannot be coded and we charge nothing for the attempt.
Start-stop – remember last setting
The car remembers whether you had switched the start-stop system off, so you do not need to press the button on every trip. The final setting is agreed together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Access 1
Lock with the engine running
You can lock the car with the key while the ignition is on, for example to keep the cabin cool for a dog.
Always carry a second key; never leave children or animals unattended.
Audio 2
Reverse gear beep off (DSG)
Removes the in-car beep that sounds when you put the DSG in reverse.
Condition: DSG gearbox
Second phone via Bluetooth
Two phones connected at the same time, for example a private and a work phone, without switching back and forth.
Condition: MIB3
Sound 4
Acoustic lock confirmation
A short tone when locking and/or unlocking confirms that the car really is locked.
Requires alarm siren or suitable horn.
Door-open chime with ignition on
No more continuous beeping when a door is open with the ignition on, for example while loading or waiting. The message on the display remains.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Electric tailgate beeps off
The warning beeps while the electric tailgate opens and closes can be switched off or made quieter.
Condition: Electric tailgate
Soundaktor quieter or off
The artificially enhanced engine sound in the cabin can be made quieter or switched off, for those who prefer the real engine sound.
Only on cars with a sound actuator (e.g. GTI).
Condition: Soundaktor fitted (mostly sport/RS/Cupra versions)
Climate 1
Remember recirculation and AirCare
The recirculation or AirCare setting is kept after switching off, so you do not have to select it again on every trip.
Assistance 5
Cruise control in 1 km/h steps
The adaptive cruise set speed changes in 1 km/h steps instead of 5 or 10 km/h.
Adaptive cruise control only.
Condition: Adaptive cruise control (ACC) fitted
Lane assist – adjust and remember
When Lane Assist intervenes, the steering vibration and whether it remembers its last on/off state are tuned to your driving style. The final setting is chosen together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Lane Assist fitted
ACC right-side overtaking limit – adjust
Adaptive cruise brakes to avoid overtaking on the right, as is usual in Germany. This does not always suit Dutch traffic; together we choose the right setting.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Adaptive cruise control (ACC) fitted
Speed assistant – one-press off
On new cars the speed assistant (ISA) is on at every start. We look together at the quickest way for you to switch it off yourself, for example via a shortcut.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Facelift with ISA
Speed warning – adjust
Sets or adjusts the warning at a chosen speed, for example 120 km/h. We agree the right setting together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Safety 2
Brake disc drying in rain
In rain, the car occasionally applies the brake pads very lightly to the discs so the brakes respond well straight away.
Seatbelt reminder – adjust
The seatbelt reminder can be set differently, for example for work where you often get in and out briefly. We discuss which setting suits you in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Performance 5
DCC damping in Individual
Giving the adaptive dampers their own setting in Individual instead of tying them to Comfort or Sport. Only works with factory DCC; you cannot code this onto passive dampers.
ESC Sport in the vehicle menu
Select ESC Sport via the menu for a more lenient intervention of stability control, for example on a track or on snow.
ESC always stays active; it returns to normal at every start.
Laptimer and performance measurement
A stopwatch for lap times in the instrument cluster, operated with the steering-wheel buttons. Fun for track days.
Intended for track use.
Steering feel in Individual profile
Power steering can be set lighter or firmer in the driving profiles, so the steering matches your preference.
Throttle response in Individual
The accelerator responds more directly in the chosen driving profile, without changing engine power.
Pedal feel only; no power change.
Retrofit 2
Rear-view camera retrofit
A genuine rear-view camera with guidelines on the infotainment screen, coded as if fitted at the factory.
Price and feasibility after checking your equipment.
Trailer module teach-in VAG
After a towbar is fitted we register the module so lighting, parking sensors and stability control take the trailer into account.
For a retrofit towbar it depends on the wiring kit.
Condition: Towbar fitted (factory or retrofit)
