How to adjust the number of blinks when -tap the turn signal in your VW Golf TDI

[chittychittybangbang]

This should also apply to the VW Jetta TDI. A Ross tech VCDS cable and software is required. Long story short, adjust channel 13 in the CECM adaptation. While you're in there you can also set it to all doors open with one press of the unlock button or unlock the doors when you pull the key out of the ignition.

Here is the full article and screenshots:

Good stuff! Thanks!

FYI, you can set the "unlock the doors when you pull the key out of the ignition" from the MFD too.

I did that for mine because I was tired of having to unlock the car again when I get out, just to open the hatch.

Just in case anyone was wondering,

Thanks for the tip. I got out my manual and was able to set all my doors unlock when key is removed (even the hatch). I really like this setting, but would have to consider carefully whether to do this if my kids were still young (now 18 and 25). Thanks for sharing! R.

FYI, this turn signal mod does not work on some (if not all) '11s. It won't work on mine. The VCDS does change the number value in the adaptation, but the car just laughs it off and keeps blinking 3 times anyway...

Could there be some other setting which is overriding the 3 blink setting?

Well in the UK there is a set requirement for the flash rate of indicators it has to be between 1 and 2 times a second. If the default is 3 then that seems a bit slow.

Oh we now have the dredid 666 post count.

Keithuk, not the flash rate, but the number of flashes for a signal 'tap'

I could swear I saw a #flash adjustment in my us golf mfi setup as well. Or maybe that was the drl setting (which is def avail in mfi)...

Ok I'm with you now on that point. I've read on other forums that a number of users want to increase the number of flashes it makes. I wonder if anyone has investigated this?

Again this is yet another topic needed in http://www.myturbodiesel.com/forum/f...ion-here-3918/

Nope. Others have run into this "brick wall", too.

The only adjustment for "comfort" flashers in the MFI is the one that turns the function on or off. If you turn on the function in the MFI, but are not happy with three flashes, you'll need VCDS to change the number of flashes to anything from one flash to five flashes. It's just that some (all?) 2011s don't respond to your new setting and continue to flash three times no matter what the setting is. My car is like that...
