hi, whats the procedure to activate the cruise control in engine ECU if it hasnt already been done so??

all i have found on the net is this:

[Select]
[01 - Engine]
[Login - 11]
Enter 11463 to activate cruise control
[Do It!]

After doing this procedure, there should be a letter "G" in the Component field


if this is correct, is it universal for all engines both petrol and diesel?

help v appreciated :D

try checking the first post in this thread.

if the seats aren't plugged in you're always going to throw a code, no matter how often you clear it.

You have Scandinavian drls activated. I do this for the winter.

Is it possible the Canada country code forces the Scandanavian DRL?

I owned a 1990 Canada spec Jetta which had side and rear lights as well as front. The light switch, in effect, only controlled the dash lights.

Is there any chance the Canadian setting might do the same as the EU setting, but without affecting the radio frequencies?

I have been looking for a detailed description of what each of the 7 country settings does, but haven't found one.

No, it won't do the same things I don't believe. Shouldn't have any issues with radio frequencies that I'm aware of. At least I haven't so far.

The EU setting will have no effect on your stereo.

No, that is not how it is supposed to work.
Is it possible you enabled the setting to use Fogs as DRL but you left North American DRL off?
You must leave North American DRL enabled for fogs to work as DRL.

Did your DRL light on the instruments light up when you took the brake off with the switch off?

.


i.e. there are two settings that must be enabled,
both Byte 0 bit 4 and byte 17 bit 4 must be ON.

I think Jet's quite right then, man. Check Byte 0, Bit 4, and you should be in business.

I'd help you out, but you're on the wrong side of the country!
