im still looking to do it.. just trying to squeeze it in on a service

Doubtful that they will turn it on. Its not an option configurable by IDS as far as i know.

I called and asked only because a couple people here had their dealer turn it on... I have no idea what it takes to do it with their tools. I just called and asked and they said they could.. I just couldn't see spending that much money to do so.

So guys, I tried to and successfully activated the global open windows but when I took a short drive down the road, the service engine light came on and I ran a VHR and it says under engine, trans and emissions that urgent s service is required and the brakes and suspension says status uncertain. First, maybe I didn't do it as successfully as I thought, but I reinstalled the factory setup just to see if it changed anything, and it didn't. Wth is going on? Didn't change anything other than 184 for the global open.

It says you'll get all sorts of errors... Maybe if you clear the codes and restart the car they will stay gone

Download Forscan, clear the DTC's and then Reset the DTC information. It'll go away. I just ran into this the other day on someone else's car of course and almost freaked for a minute. But you have to clear the codes and then reset DTC information.

Thanks venomous and Burke, I'll do that tomorrow morning before I leave. Hopefully all will be well. Thought I screwed something up since I've never done anything like that before even though it was pretty simple.

FoCCCus shouldn't cause any issues with the check engine light. The only time you get those codes is running Forscan which will cause a brief disconnect of the modules. I'd scan the code and see what it is before clearing them.

Yes it does. Most of the time it causes a few minor codes, sometimes it causes bigger, still non problematic codes. I've done mine about 3 dozen times with no heck engine lights but I did a buddies the other day and the first time on his car I got check engine codes. I was able to clear them with forscan though.

That's odd. I've done multiple and never had the light come on. Now the ABS light is a different story.

Yeah I did the same the first time I ever used Focccus on a buddies car it threw a CEL but all the times with mine it never has.

The CEL was for the engine off timer info not matching or something. Nothing major. Just needed to be cleared. But it does happen.

The ipc is a backup of what is stored in the bcm. I wouldnt change it if I were you.

ok I was just wondering if it were possible to move the info for sync (text messages phone calls) to the screen in the cluster it was possible with the early versions for the mk2.5. I only ask because I fitted a chinese aftermarket head unit with 8 inch touch screen when I purchased it the seller assured me sync would be ok but it is terrible very buggy I still have phone calls being received and text messages but screen most of the time just displays garbage.

The info you want is most likely on the infotainment bus which is different than the Highspeed and Mediumspeed CAN that this app deals with. Let me see if I can dig up a diagram so you can see how everything ties together.

My advice to you is to download the Helm Service Manual that is stickied. You only need the smaller download and then use an html reader app to view the contents. Once you have the manual, unzip it and load the index.html file. That will load the rest of the manual.

Since the ODB interfaces have not been updated since March, what has changed since then, for better quality interfaces? I am looking to purchase in 48hrs. I prefer USB, just because, but I do not want ot modify anyting after I purchase it. If the WIFI is the way to go, then I will go that route. I plan on using an old Dell laptop I have for this sole purpose, as well as for my VAGCOM software, which is USB.

I am interested in the global windows and removing the shift light. I have read that it isn't possible with a Mac so if there anyone in Phoenix that has done this and is willing to do it on my car? I have a '14

I thought I've read that someone has done it through Bootcamp or via Parallels but I'm not positive. Would that be an option for you?

If it's just a program that runs PC programs, that might be an option. I have never installed anything like that on any of my devices so I'm not sure how to do it
