6. Real-World Examples of Passat CC VCDS Tweaks
Here are some examples of how VCDS tweaks can enhance your Passat CC.
6.1. Enhancing Safety with Automatic Rain Closing
The automatic rain closing feature automatically closes the sunroof and windows when it detects rain. This is a valuable safety feature that protects your car’s interior from water damage.
To enable this feature, you’ll need to code the Central Electronics module [09] and the Rain Light Sensor (RLS).
- In the Central Electronics module, enable “Comfort Operation Windows/Sunroof via Rain Sensor” and “Comfort Operation Windows/Sunroof via Rain Sensor (Rain Closing).”
- In the RLS module, enable “Rain Closing active.”
6.2. Optimizing Fuel Consumption Display
The fuel consumption display can be adjusted to provide more accurate readings. This is useful if you find that the factory settings are not reflecting your actual fuel economy.
To adjust the fuel consumption display, go to the Instrument cluster adaptation and modify the “Display correction of consumptions and operating range” value. Increasing the value will lower the displayed MPG, while decreasing the value will increase it.
6.3. Personalizing Comfort Blinkers
The comfort blinker feature allows you to customize the number of times the turn signal blinks when you tap the stalk. This can be adjusted from the stock setting of 3 blinks to a maximum of 5 blinks.
To change the comfort blinker count, go to the BCM Adaptation (address 9) and adjust the “comfort blinkers” setting.

8. Passat CC VCDS Tweaks: A Detailed Guide
This section provides a detailed guide to some popular Passat CC VCDS tweaks.
8.1. Auto Closing Sunroof & Windows via Rain Light Sensor
Requires the (RLS) light sensor. RLS may not be present on some 2013 models. If there is no drop-down menu in Coding, then you likely have no RLS. This will require coding the master [09] – Central Electronics module and the Sub-System RLS.
[09] – Central Electronics module using Coding, Long Coding Helper
- Byte 4 Comfort Operation Windows/Sunroof via Rain Sensor must be enabled
- Byte 4 Comfort Operation Windows/Sunroof via Rain Sensor (Rain Closing) active must be enabled
Sub-System RLS (from the drop-down menu) using Coding, Long Coding Helper
- Rain Closing active must be enabled
8.2. Fuel Gauge and Fuel Consumption Adaptation
I’ve done some testing on a ’10 Gti. The Instrument cluster adaptation results are:
-
“Display correction of consumptions and operating range” found in Adaptation, from the instrument cluster.
- The value should be 100% from the factory.
- Increasing the adaptation value lowered the Mpg data displayed on the MFA.
- So, If you want to lower the average MPG displayed on the dash, try increasing the adaptation value to 102% -> 105%.
- If you wanted to Increase the Mpg on the display, lower the Adaptation value to 95% -> 98%.
-
“Display correction of fuel gauge” found in Adaptation, from the instrument cluster.
- By default, this was set to 0.0*.
- The Max adaptation values are +/- 10. The total range of fuel gauge movement was near 1/8th tank.
- Increasing the value to 10*, makes the needle raise by approx. 1/16th tank.
- Lowering the value to -10*, makes the needle lower by approx. 1/16th tank.
I dug into this and believe that the sender in the tank has a normal operation range of 70O -> 270O.
8.3. Seatbelt Chimes
You can have that pleasant chime by going to
- 17-Instruments->Adaptation->Seat Belt Warning – Version 3
And you are not warned when you go over 74mph! so you don’t have to change everything else back to US measurements…
- Seat Belt Chime (Saudie) 17-Instruments Adaptation Seat Belt Warning Version 3

- Byte 27 Bit 2 checked LED-DRL Mod for Parking/Position light & DRL
8.9. Navigation Voice Commands
These are the steps within VCDS software to add Navigation voice commands back in (Remember to have car doors closed and unlocked before you start):
- SELECT
- 37 NAVIGATION
- CODING – 07
- LONG CODING HELPER
- Highlight BYTE 7
- Remove check from BIT 1
- ESC out from this screen
- DO IT!
- Exit out of VCDS software
After you are through, I would recommend that you re-boot the Nav unit: Press and hold these three button at the top of the Nav unit until it reboots. Should take about 15 seconds: and *star button (far right of DVD slot)
8.10. Alternate Speed Display and Large Digital Speed Display
Steps to get “Alternate Speed Display” and Large Digital Speed Display Based on 2011 Canadian Model with KPM Dial Speedometer
When heading down to the United States it would be handy having something showing in MPH. To get this smaller digital display in MPH in the MFD area:
- Bring up the settings menu and scroll down until you see “Alt. Speed Dis.¹”;
- Select “Alt Speed Dis.” by pressing the OK button;
- Once back on the main MFD screen you will now see MPH between two lines where the temperature was previously.
- Above these two lines you can select various info screens by using the down or up arrow. Scroll until you see your preferred choice to display while driving. Also, by pressing OK you can, for certain screens, toggle between Screen 1 or Screen 2.
Screen 1 is the single trip memory. See the owner’s manual for reset limits. Screen 2 is the total trip memory. See the owner’s manual for reset limits.
Now I would like to share how to display the large digital KPH in the MFD area.
- Bring up the settings menu and deselect “Alt. Speed Dis.¹” by pressing OK on the steering wheel;
- Scroll up and highlight MFD data and then press ok;
- In the options list make sure “Digital Speed” is ticked. If not, highlight and press OK;
- Now return to the MFD display that shows the various info screens and using the down or up arrow scroll until you see the large digital KPH appear. When it appears just leave it there;
- Now your KPH will be shown in large digital numbers and you will also have the dial showing KPH. Intuitively, this should work for US model cars, but I am not sure. Feedback is welcome from our US neighbours. I believe you cannot have the larger digital KPH displayed at the same time as the alternate speed setting, namely MPH.
8.11. Auto Release Parking Brake
Auto release parking brake when in gear with accelerator pedal input for Audi’s
Select the parking brake module (address 53) enter coding, and simply change the last digit of the coding from 2 to 1 for ROW.
You can now apply the parking brake at long red lights and use it as a brake hold. When you are ready to set off again, simply tap the throttle, and the EPB will release.
8.12. Re-Fueling to Empty
In my pursuit to the above topic, I came across this VCDS tweak. Not sure about other 2012 Tiguan owners or other new VW models, but here in Australia, I did not have this function.
- Plug your VCDS cable in and access module 17 instruments
- Enter the UDS Adaption 10 menu
- Select the channel with the label “Volume to be replenished”
- Change the stored value from “no” to “yes” and then select “do it” to save the setting and exit VCDS
You should now have an extra option in the MFD settings called refuel. A value will then be displayed once 10 liters of fuel has been consumed from a full tank that will be required to safely refuel the tank to full again.
Not sure if this will work with 2011 models that have a similar instrument panel display, but maybe a few 2011 owners can have a crack at it and let other forum readers know. I do know from my research on attempting to activate the driver alert system there are subtle differences in the coding between the BCM module 9 and this module with older 2011 pre-facelift models. A Full tank should read near 70O. Empty tank = 270O. You could check the actual resistances with a DVOM at the fuel level sensor in the tank -OR- By using Advanced Measuring Values, check “Fuel Level Sensor 1” (138).
However, I don’t think any adaptation modifications are going to correct your concern. If you change the correction of fuel gauge, the actual needle range may become corrupted. After filling up, the tank may not read full, or worse..the empty tank range may not read correctly, resulting in the vehicle running out of fuel.
It’s possible that the fuel level sensor “G” is faulty. I really haven’t noticed any issues with mine. The car only gets 27Mpg, so I don’t stress myself out by monitoring this. It displays “Please Refuel,” and I find myself filling the tank quite often!
8.13. Service Reminder Setup
Finally, after research, I was able to set up a service reminder on a USA spec cluster. I think this is a very useful feature, no idea why it is disabled on US cars. Anybody with VAG-COM can do that by changing coding in your cluster. This only can work on cars with CAN BUS build from 05.00. for example US Golf cluster coding is 07232, so you have to replace the 4-th digit (3 with 0 as for cars with fixed service intervals without oil/temp. sender), after this go to:
- channel 43 in Instrument Cluster (upper limit for distance to next inspection step size is 1000 km, by default 15000km = 9400 miles)
- channel 44 is the upper limit for time to next inspection in days, step size is 1 day by default 365
- channel 40 is distance traveled since last inspection, step in 100km (ex. 5200 km= 052)
- channel 41 is time elapsed since the last inspection, step 1 day
First, the Channels 43 and 44 must be adapted because the values of channels 40 and 41 may not be greater than the upper limits of channels 43 and 44. Adaptation must be done using kilometers (1 mile equates to approx. 1.609 km)
To reset the service interval, go to Instrument Cluster Adaptation channel 2 enter 0 and save.
Service Reminder will display on your cluster (in place of the current odometer display, just for a couple of seconds) after certain mileage (usually 2000 miles or 3200km or time set in channel 43 and 44, as Service in and it will countdown every 100 miles(km), when you turn your ignition ON.

Description: XDS is the electronic differential lock. On higher HP models (Scirocco R), this is set to 2, whereas the default on the GTI is 0. At 2, the system is more aggressive at applying brake pressure to the inside/slipping tire.
- Go to Adaptation in the ABS module
- Choose “Electronic Differential Lock (XDS)
- Set new value to to 2 (0 is stock, 1 is weak, 2 is strong)
8.39. Brake Assist
Description: Brake assist will make it so you do not have to push down on the brake pedal as hard before the brakes engage. It does not actually make the brakes any stronger. Some people like this, some people feel it makes heel/toe harder.
- Go to Adaptation in the ABS module
- Choose “Brake Assist”
- Set new value to to 2 (0 is stock, 1 is small, 2 is hard)
8.40. Driver Steering Recommendation (DSR)
Description: DSR is the use of sensors relating to the ESP sense when the car is going into a skid, and the steering ECU automatically provides a prompt to the driver to correct the car trajectory by giving the steering wheel a quick ‘nudge’. There are 3 settings, nobody has reported changing this and if 1 or 2 is better than stock.
- Go to Adaptation in the ABS module
- Choose “DSR”
- Set new value to: 0 for strong (stock setting), 1 for center, or 2 for weak
8.41. Torque Steer Compensation (TSC)
Description: Using the Steering Assist controller (not the brakes), TSC will help prevent torque steer on tuned cars. A TSC of 1 is used by default in higher HP FWD VW models like the VR6 FWD Passat.
- Go to Adaptation in the Steering Assist module
- Choose “Torque Steer Compensation (TSC)”
- Set new value to 1
8.42. Disable ESP
Description: This is not considered safe. The ESP in the MK6 is very good and not too obtrusive. That said, if you want to take the risk and turn it off, this is the only known way to accomplish that.
- Go to Adaptation in the Steering Assist module
- Go to Channel 09
- Set new value to 1
8.43. Hill Hold Control
Description: Hill hold control (assist) is where the car will apply the brakes on a hill when stopped. It will occur if facing uphill with the car in a forward gear or if facing downhill in reverse. Modifying this setting changes when the brakes release. You can also disable it completely.
To change the HHC setting:
- Go to Adaptation in the ABS module
- Choose “Hill Hold Control (HHC)”
- Set new value to: 0 for normal (stock setting), 1 for early (start with low RPM’s), or 2 for late (start with high RPM’s and slipping clutch)
To disable HHC completely:
- Uncheck bit 0 of byte 16 in ABS Brakes Long Coding Helper
8.44. Adjusting Service Intervals
Description: Do you change your oil more often than every 10k miles and would prefer it tell you at 5k miles? That’s what this is for.
For Days:
- Go to Adaptation in the Instruments module
- Choose “SIA – maximum value of time to service”
- Under New value, enter your time as in days.
For Distance:
- Go to Adaptation in the Instruments module
- Choose “SIA – maximum value of distance to service”
- Under New value, enter the new distance.
