How do you disable DRL on a 2011?

Using Vag-com, go to 09: Cent. Elect. coding, and change the current code below to the new code:

Old code:

6D180A1A80272AC41088008570000D0440050086574D8DF064 802020A040

New code (note the changes in bold):

6C180A1A80272AC41088008170000D0440050086574D8DF064 802020A040

It should give you No DRL's and it should add the extra Auto-Locking menu to the MFA like this:

Works with the stock switch and euroswitch. However, when using the euroswitch, you will need to add the parking light wire as detailed in the thread below:

Thanks goes out to Dana at Ross-Tech for this!

If you are using a genuine cable, have you e-mailed Dana@rosstech your scan? That will be your best bet IMO.

bubuski: Yes, I have a genuine cable, and I did contact Dana at Ross Tech, just waiting for a reply now.

VWGTIMK6: What can I shut off? The light on the dash? What is a steering wheel flash?

What gets me is how users can talk about 2011's when we are only two-thirds through 2010?

How can you have a 2011 GTI? ;)

Damn time-travelers think they are so great! They are traveling from 2011 back in time to mock our lowly 2010 GTIs! :mad:

Ya, what do you guys mean by 2011??

Is it registered for 2011?

Next years models have always come out early here because the slow season is the winter in the U.S.
Yes but if VW are stating 2011 models then thats against trade desciptions in the UK because we aren't in 2011 are we, well I'm not. That maybe you can order a 2011 and collect it next year. ;)

Yeah it is crazy here in North America. The 2010 Camaro were actually already in dealer lots on Feb-March of 2009.

Let me know how you fair with that. I want to do some DRL tweaking on my 2011 as well

I have VAG-COM and tried to disable my DRL in my 2011 GTI (with Xenons), but I get an adaptive system malfunction (sun looking icon in the dash circled in yellow).

Do you know I never knew there was a DRL warning on the dash? Is this a US mod?

I had mine turned off 3 days after having the car.

Do you have xenon lights?

As ewylou78 says you can turn of the normal lights with the switch combination, this has been talked about on here and most VW forums before.
