Button

COMMUNITY-SOURCED · MK7 · LIGHTING

Makes both static cornering lights come on when reverse is selected.

Applies to
VW Golf Mk7 (5G) with working static cornering lights.

Not confirmed for
Golf 7.5 facelift, Golf SportWagen/Alltrack, Jetta (any year), Audi A3/S3 8V, Tiguan and other MQB cars

Module
09 Cent. Elect. (Central Electronics / body control module)

Method
Adaptation

Requires
Working static cornering lights (factory, or from the fog-cornering coding, which is on hold).

1 · Before you start

Run a full Auto-Scan and save it. In 09 Cent. Elect. (Central Electronics / body control module), write down or screenshot the current value of every setting before you change it.

2 · VCDS

Open address 09 (Cent. Elect.) and save an Adaptation channel map first.
Security Access (16): enter 31347.
Adaptation (10): find the static cornering light 'in reverse' channel. vag-coding shows it as 'static directional light-bei Rueckwaertsfahrt' or 'static AFS light-bei Rueckwaertsfahrt'; ascoding shows the German names 'Statisches Kurvenlicht' > 'Rückwärtsfahrt'.
Set it to 'Bilateral' (both sides) and save. One source says this is already the factory setting.

Notes

According to ascoding.ch, both sides is already the factory setting, so many cars may already do this.
