Als Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 On unlocking the car at night or when it's dark both the day time running lights (DRL) and the headlights turn on even if i then don't start the engine. But when I unlock during day time only the indicator light flashes but then the DRLs don't turn on which I was expecting them to do :( Before this car I had an SE A6 whose sidelights would turn on when unlocking the car. Is there a separate setting for that as I've tried fiddling with the MMI and car setting menu. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Try going to 'Systems', 'Vehicle Settings', 'Exterior Lighting' where you can check or uncheck lights on when unlocking. And on mine that is with the lights set to auto, which would explain the difference in behaviour between day time and night time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Als Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks for your reply. I have already tried that but without any luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Strange, I have just tried it on mine and the lights do not turn on at night (now) with the 'off' selection selected. Have I mis-understood your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Als Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi. Mine are on the "Auto" position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Als Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 I guess probably it's not an option though it would look so cool!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Could always try having a look at the setting using VAGCOM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Als Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks James...but uh...how to go about doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 You will either need to buy a VAGCOM set up see http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/cat/VCDS.html and https://www.ilexa.co.uk/shop/VCDS-HEXUSBCAN or find someone with one Either that or locate a specialist that can do it for you.

mpfisher Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 There's nothing wrong with your car! No need for VAGCOM! Lights will switch on when opening your car only when needed, meaning evening/night time. Why would you need them during the day anyway?

Als Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hi. Thanks for your post. I just think it'll look cool if the DRLs come up at day time too. But I get your point...! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
