T6.1 fog-light retrofit

Success with my Fog light installation. (back home on Leave, I work away)IMG_9532.webpIMG_9533.webp
Using VCDS I was able to make an adaption to recognize the added switch position for the front Fog lights.
Could not find how to do this with OBD11 using a Pro license.
The cornering lights were functioning after doing the adaptations with OBD11, not the fogs, received a headlight fault if I left the switch on in the front foglight position.
Attached VCDS photos for information.
So I now have an OBD11 Pro and a VCDS Hex Net to play with.

Hello, new to the forum, I have t6.1 startline and have added a new bumper with front fogs, I'm ok with the wiring( I think) but struggling with vcds. Do I need to do all the wiring into bcm and new switch before adaptation with vcds and if so so can anyone talk me through it as I'm not familiar at all. Some told me you can't add new fogs into bcm using vcds but have to use an online coding service, so not really sure what to do now.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Welcome,
If you go back and read my posts you will see I was in the same situation, but got there with out too much trouble. Need to replace the light switch with one with the additional position, you use “adaptations” in either VCDS or OBD11 or similar to add additional position to the BCM to recognise the switch.
Wiring to lights from BCM pins 40 and 3 (from memory) mine work as fog lights from the switch, they work as cornering lights at any time and also illuminate when reverse is selected
 
Hello again, I'm after so more info if possible you mention left goes to pin 40 right goes to pin 3 and switch pin 9 goes to 47, but which plug on bcm? I have 3 A,B,C
 
what is the best way to get at the plugs so you can add the cables, i can see the from the bottom but struggling to get in close, would the top be easier with the clocks out

update, have got to the conhnector now and the T73A akready has a cable in so ok with that, the other 2 pins T46B I can get at but the pre wired crimps i have a too small, I dont suppose anyone has a part number for these that fit?
 
Hello all,I've followed adaptation posts on here and no success. Im seeing fog lights not coded, i have no lights working , really struggling any help guidence will be greatly appreciated, im using vcds

Just checking, have you changed the actual rotary light switch itself?

Please post Full Scan report so we can see how the van is configured.
There seem to several different BCMs in T6.1 depending on how van is equipped. There are at least two main variants: 2Q0 937 090 and 2Q5 937 090. Which makes me wonder what are the differences between variants...:unsure:

What coding would work for the 2Q0? I’m having issues after removing thq headlights. Now retrofitted fogs won’t work at all

Did the van have fog lights from factory?

Adaptations in T6.1 with fog lights:

And, T6.1 without fog lights - perhaps you could try these.

No. they’re the lower fog lights. I had fitted a high line bumper and went for the kufatec oem style ones. Had the thq led headlights to begin with in which I had to code them left being right and right being left, then once I had put the standard headlights back in they’ve not been working. Pins in the bcm look fine, ground wire looks fine and the plugs for the fogs look fine so I’m not sure what went wrong with coding
