Got around doing some tweaks and mods using VCDS to my Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus.<\/p>\n
Started the day with attempts to set the default value of Start\/Stop to OFF, but no luck. 01 Engine control module has a channel – IDE04158-Activation of start\/stop function with value “Active”. There is a dropdown to select “Not Active”, but it returns an error when trying to write back. More research needed. There is channel IDE04159-Deactivation of start\/stop function with a value of “Not Active” in Control Modules 03 – ABS Brakes, 05 – Acc\/Start Auth., 08- Auto HVAC and 19 – CAN Gateway. Perhaps turning them to False first & then changing the vaule for channel IDE04158 might help. Will give that a try tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Prelude –<\/strong> I know that many of these adaptations have already been done by several of you & it might come across as basic to you. But for me it is a learning process. I Intend to document my experiences here, in the hope it will help someone. I know a few of you are not in favour of sharing details here, lest someone makes money out of it. Doesn’t bother me. If someone learns from my posts & starts earning from doing these adaptations, good for them. They are more enterprising than I am. I wish them well. After all, I am no Charles Babbage or Dennis Ritchie, but make a living by using their hard work.<\/p>\n Last but not least – these adaptations worked on my 2022 Virtus GT Plus. YMMV. If you try these in your car & brick any of the electronics, that is on you. not me.<\/p>\n Here goes –<\/p>\n Steps:<\/p>\n Steps:<\/p>\n Steps:<\/p>\n This is mostly cosmetic & a personal choice<\/p>\n Steps:<\/p>\nLane Change indicator blink 5 times instead of 3:<\/h2>\n
