Title: Can’t code out the drl
Post by: Alxlya on January 17, 2024, 01:49:12 am

Hi, I’m into Golf and new on the forum. I have a big problem with coding out my Drl for North America.
Basically, who had the car before has coded the headlights to stay always on(DRL) and I want to code them back to original.
When I want to code them my VCDS throws me an error saying the the Equip code should be between 00000-262143.
I have also attached pictures. I have no idea what to do if someone can help me I would be very grateful.
Tis

That's a pretty old version of VCDS you have there. I think that bug got fixed a while ago.

Anyhoo... see https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/10392/

Just use an Equipment Number in the range that VCDS suggests. Any number in that range will do. It has no functional effect, it just tracks what tool was used to make the change.
