• Lighting: Auto On/Off Headlights w/o Auto Switch Description: this will make your headlights go on/off with your ignition if they are in the ON position

• Lighting: Enable DRL Turn On/Off in MFI (2011+ Only) Description: Under lighting in your MFI, you can check DRL’s on or off (this is better than hard coding them off)

• Lighting: Disable DRL with Turn Signal (2012 Only) Description: When you activate your blinker, the LED DRL next to it will turn off until the blinker is turned off.

• Lighting: Emergency Brake Flashing Description: If you brake hard enough, this will automatically flash your brake lights and/or turn signals until you let off the brake pedal

• Lighting: Comfort Turn Signal Count 1-5 Description: When you tap your blinker it will auto blink 3 times by default, this changes the count

• Wipers: Enable Tear Drop Wiping on Rear Wiper Description: This will wipe your rear window one extra time, after a pause, when you use your rear wiper squirter

• Steering Wheel Push-To-Talk Button as Mute Description: Converts the push to talk button your steering wheel into a mute button.

• Electronic Differential Lock (XDS) Strength 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.

• 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.

• 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’.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 up hill 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.

• 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.
