Security Access

• 13861 = Adaptation Enabling

Adaptation

Channel 002: Service Reminder

• 0 = Service NOT Due
• 1 = Service Due

To reset the service reminder save 0 as new value.

Channe 003: Consumption Correction

• Standard Value: 100 %
• Display Range: 85...115 %
• Increments: 1 %

New Adaptation Value = Old Adaptation Value * Calculated Consumption / Old Display Value

Channel 004: Language

• 1 = German
• 2 = English
• 3 = French
• 4 = Italian
• 5 = Spanish
• 6 = Portuguese
• 7 = No Text
• 8 = Czech

Channel 009: Mileage/Odometer

• Increments: 1 = 10 km or 1 = 10 mi

The distance can only be changed once before the current value is not over 100 km/62 mi. After changing the value can be corrected within the next 5 km/3 mi of driving.

Channel 030: Fuel Gauge Adaptation

• Standard: 100
• Range: 120...136
• Increments: 1 Ohm

Channel 035: Speed Threshold

This value represents the speed threshold of the dynamic oil pressure system. The threshold can be raised in increments of 250 RPM.

Channel 038: Oil Minimum Detection

With this function the oil-minimum-warning at low oil level can be deactivated or activated.

Channel 039: Oil Level Sensor Adaptation

Determines if the TOG Sensor is installed or not.

Channel 040: Mileage since Service

• Increments: 1 = 100 km

Channel 041: Time since Service

• Increments: 1 = 1 day(s)

Channel 042: Minimum Distance to Service

• Increments: 1 = 1000 km

Channel 043: Maximum Distance to Service

• Increments: 1 = 1000 km

Channel 044: Maximum Time to Service

• Increments: 1 = 1 day(s)
• 365 = fixed Service Intervals (w/o Longlife)
• 730 = flexible Service Intervals (with Longlife)

Channel 045: Oil Quality

• 1 = fixed Service Intervals (w/o Longlife)
• 2 = flexible Service Intervals (with Longlife)

Channel 049: Minimum Time to Service

• Increments: 1 = 1 day(s)

• 365 = fixed Service Intervals (w/o Longlife)
• 730 = flexible Service Intervals (with Longlife)

Note

• On some 2005 to 2007 model mk5 vehicles, the instrument cluster could be coded wrong for the American market resulting on a speedometer that reads too high. TB 09-07-03 states that the Distance Impulse Number of the soft coding needs to be a value of 7. See TB for details.
