Extending welcome lights time

[dubhead]

Hi all,

Wondering whether vcds allows you to change the time period the welcome lights stay on for after unlocking the van?

If possible...is it a simple job?

Thanks in advance

@Loz is your man.

I think there is an adaption value that can be changed to do this..

 

[dubhead]

@Fish Thanks!

@Loz thank you, do you happen to know where I could find it please?

Module 9 adaption look in the pulldown menu at the top to select the channel.

 

[dubhead]

@Loz thank you..will give it a try!

I think it can also be done with the Carista App and dongle.

I did it with carista. Upped mine to 40 seconds. There were a few time options to choose from if I remember

Yes @T6 Dave is right coming home and leaving home will alter the time the headlights stay on when arriving or leaving to/from the vehicle
Dont know why i had the timeout of the interior lights in my head, just reread the thread

You need to flash your lights once after you turn off the ignition. As if you were flashing oncoming traffic but once you have switched the engine off. From what I understand from here, the t6 platform isn’t as smart as the same year equivalent golf platform.

might be toggled off on mfd

The Golf 5 left them on automatically. The Golf 6 didn't, but could be altered via VCDS. Anything newer and you have to flash main beam and have no option to change it.
