Enable "Hot Country" A/C with Obdeleven?

[Wongatron]

Got my obdeleven yesterday and successfully got the windows down with the key fob working but I failed to find the settings above for the AC adjustments. Neither that nor the blower settings are options for me.
I will try again when it isn’t 105 degrees and when the Android auto app isn’t going psycho at me but does anyone have any suggestions?
First time for me ever using a device like this so appreciate the help!

Wondering if it might be due to model year? I have the carista dongle/app myself and had some options missing/non functional from the get go, did get some additional after updating to beta

if you didn't see the setting from the instructions (I didn't, either) you'd need to press the binary (0 1) symbol (also in the instructions screen, top), keep turning the page until you see the part where you can set it to Hot Country (I am in soCal but my car was from OR).

I did toggle this as per instructions but it did not help. I will try again though. Thank you

This took care of it, thank you very much!
Key fob window function and cooler AC, the Obdeleven has paid for itself already!

Forgot to mention that another easy way to check which value the AC is set-to at the factory is to look at the "PR code" sticker for the vehicle.

PR Codes are 3 x digit "Production Codes" for all of the installed equipment in the vehicle. The list of PR codes are printed on a sticker that can be found in the spare tire well of the vehicle (trunk) or pasted into the vehicle's owner's manual.

PRCode: 8Z6 = Hot country
PRCode: 8Z7 = Cold country

My euro spec GTi has neither of those codes or an alternative!

I know this thread has been dead for some time now, but on my 2017 model year S with Manual climate controls, i don’t have the option to change temperature tuning nor blower speed. strange.

Tristan: Hi. For obvious reasons related in the main to the fact that I live in the very, very deep south, I'm really not sure what is normal VW practice on a "Yankee" model Golf mk7/mk7.5. However, my hunch is that the binding issue on this car might be the fact that it does NOT have the higher-end dual temperature AC module (Climatronic).
