Thank you for posting this.. some time ago... I must have missed it. Already took care of the side markers.
For US cars:

Question 1: "TO ACTIVATE THE REAR PARKING LIGHTS" this is referring to the EU style parking light on one side of the car via the turn signal stalk??

Question 2: The 3 segment light in the middle is the Reverse White Light on the left, the Rear Fog Light ight on the right... but what is in the middle?? I can't get it to light up; it appears to be a white light?

Default A7 eu tail lamps retrofit

Hello my Friend,
In looking for proper tail lamp coding I read your post. And it brought this question. Would you be able to provide the codes for A7 EU tail lights retrofit?

Best regards
Rafi

I have my tail EU lights already installed.
I was able to get my light to work with EU law but still internal turning light is not working.

I cannot confirm which channel is related to this internal turn signal and what coding is needed.

Any ideas?

When I tried to get to this I put the security code that vag com provides, but the channels you list were not available, the security code I used was different than the one you posted.. Does that make a difference?

You must use the security code I provided, otherwise these channels will be locked

Excuse me for my question, but changing the codes via VagCom is not an issue for me, but do I need to change the tail lights assembly?

Any chance when you were fooling around you figured out where the setting / coding is for the dash lights? On My - SQ headlights off DRL's are on by default, the dash starts with backlighting, but then turns off. I prefer them to be on and typically run my parking lights to solve it. Sure would be nice to just let the DRLs do it.

@ kdagher: I am looking to apply these coding tweaks to my A6; will these work on a C6 (2010 A6 Avant)?

Thanks

I still a little bit confused here but - what does all the programming achieve? Is it just to disable the tiny little LED that is on the outer side of the tail lights (the LED that you can see if you are facing the side of the car)?

You are right, it's mostly due to the fact we have side market light using the extra channel. Is there anyway we can separate them so the light matches the EU ones?
Were you able to separate the inner lights to match EU on your 2013 A4? I tried to and it still flashed as one unit. What does your coding for those channels look like?
