Re: DRL Fiasco - Urgent Plz Help
Just a note to others that may be importing at a later time.........I purchased my car from a US dealer and one of the things I negotiated with them at the time of purchase was the change over, from US to Canada on the cars computer(price never changed, but they were happy to do it for me). Upon pickup everything had been changed over, from lights to KM settings on the odometer. Was a breeze to do the inspection when I imported into Canada.

when set to canada regional coding it will actiavate DRLs. If you are on USA you will not have DRL.
the way they function also differs from each model car.

BTW - An official Ross-Tech cable and full license for VCDS costs CDN$355. Buy that and you'll fix your DRL issues for less than the dealer is quoting and have a tool to perform any future diagnostics.
I bought mine from one of the Canadian distributors and have used it to identify issues that I have then had the dealer repair under warranty as I was able to prove there was a diagnostic code occurring; there were no indicator/warning lights showing on the cluster.
Well worth the dollars in my opinion.

this is certainly not true, there is no rewiring needed. All drl are simply just set with regional coding through vag-com.
when set to canada regional coding it will actiavate DRLs. If you are on USA you will not have DRL.

You dont know what you are saying. The reprogramming of a US imported vehicle will not override the DRL switches position!!! If you program it to Canada and DRL switch is at the 0 position guess what? DRL's do not work.... Please dont guide people in the wrong direction... Rewiring of the switch is required if the Vehicle has a DRL switch + reprogramming!!!

Re: DRL Fiasco - Urgent Plz Help
yeah im not sure what your trying to say 1move.
on the b6 DRL can be achieved through soft coding the country code to canada.
it will turn your fogs, turn signals and tails on.
I believe 1move is talking about the common mode people in America are doing for DRL as the city lights mod which requires a bit of rewiring.

Re: DRL Fiasco - Urgent Plz Help
Not sure what you are arguing about here anymore as this is a B6 thread and you are talking about an early B7, are you not? The guy has just bought a 2004, not a 2005.5!! I have gone into the B7 post and even saw a post by you, that said you were going to meet someone and reprogram their computer with your Vag in Jun of 2010........what wrong information are you talking about? Take a deep breath before you answer ok!
