Take control back with our Hill Assist Patch, designed specifically for the MK8 Golf platform. This software update refines the factory hill assist behavior, making it react more intuitively to driver input — akin to the behavior of the MK7 Golf.

The stock MK8 hill assist can sometimes hold the brakes too long and hard, even after throttle is applied, leading to frustrating stalls or jerky starts on inclines. Our Hill Assist Patch corrects this by allowing the brakes to release smoothly with throttle input, giving you a much more natural, predictable launch every time. No more fighting the system — just clean, confident hill starts the way they should be.

Key Features:

  • Smoother hold release on throttle application

  • Reduced risk of stalling on hills

  • Driving feel closer to the MK7 Golf’s proven hill assist behavior

  • Software-only solution — no physical modifications required

  • Developed by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts

Whether you're daily driving or carving backroads, our Hill Assist Patch makes your MK8 Golf more enjoyable and easier to drive in all conditions.

*THIS PATCH DOES NOT FULLY DISABLE HILL ASSIST. RATHER, THE SYSTEM IS TWEAKED TO ALLOW THE HILL ASSIST SYSTEM TO RELEASE WHEN THROTTLE IS APPLIED*

*AT THIS TIME OBDELEVEN WITH A PRO SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED TO SFD UNLOCK MODULES FOR FEATURE ACTIVATION*

What a pleasure doing business with them! There was a little hiccup in the software and they resolved it the same day!
