h5djr Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I have just received my VAG-COM cable from Ross-Tech in the States. I've loaded the spftware onto my laptop ok and connected up to the ODB port and run a full Auto-Scan. All seems to work as it should. All I need know is to know how to recode my Bi-Xenon headlights for driving in Europe. Anyone know how to do this or where I can the information.

PetrolDave Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 If you have adaptive Bi-Xenons you can do it (I did it last year when we went to France) but I'm not sure you can do it with VAG-COM with standard Bi-Xenons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h5djr Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I don't have adaptive Xenons by I had mine 'done' at my dealer last year. They said they have to connect it to their VAG5051 system and change a code. After they had done it a reminder to have them changed back was given on the DIS whenever the ignition was turned on. So I assume it must be possible with VAG-COM as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Do you have Xenon Plus or Adaptive Headlights? If you have the Adaptive Headligfhts, check Adaptation Channel 10. http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/Audi_A3_(8P)_Headlight_Aim_Control_(Adaptive_Light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h5djr Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 No I have normal Xenon Plus or Bi-Xenon headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Then go the channel 10 way as described in the WIKI entry and see if it leads to success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h5djr Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 It should certainly be obvious if it works because,last June, I took my car to my dealer to have the headlights changed for European driving. They connected it up to their VAG5051 system and did the necessary. Whenever I switched on the ignition after that a warning message came up on the DIS to have the lights changed back when I came home. I'm assuming I will see the same if I change them using my VAG-COM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h5djr Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi Sebastian I tried the headlight convert this afternoon and I think it works. Why I say I only think it works is because when I changed the setting in control module 55 channel 10 from 0 to 1 my xenons did go down slightly. Nothing came up in the information balloons about 'Tourist Option' or anything else. The screen just stayed blank when I selected channel 10. Why I am not completely sure is that, when it was done by my dealer last year using their VAS5051 kit, a message came up on my DIS every time I switched on to remind me to change them back. No message at all when I change using VAG-COM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
