Activate Scandinavian DRLs
Scandinavian DRLs: the tail lights stay on with the daytime running lights. A popular European lighting convention that makes the car visible from behind in daylight and looks right on a GTI or R. On 2025+ MK8.5 cars VW's SFD2 security means this can no longer be coded with an OBDeleven – we code it for you remotely, usually in under 30 minutes. Reversible on request.
Which cars qualify
- 2025–2026 Golf GTI and Golf R (MK8.5) and 2025–2026 Tiguan – offered in the suite's SFD2 coding section
Because SFD2 protected coding needs a paid unlock, the suite adds a one-time $100 SFD2 programming surcharge to the session; add as many of the $19.95 coding options as you like to the same session for no extra surcharge.
How the remote session works
- Order the activation and, if you don't already have one, the DoIP cable and USB-Ethernet adapter ($39.95, yours to keep).
- Book a session time. You receive a confirmation email with the preparation steps.
- At the session, plug the cable into the car's OBD port and your laptop, and run FlexiHub so our technician can connect.
- We do the programming remotely – usually about 30 minutes; a slow internet connection can make it longer.
What you need
- A laptop (or Android phone with USB-C) next to the car: Windows 7/8/10/11, an Apple-silicon Mac on macOS 10.15+, Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+) or Android 5.0+.
- A stable internet connection and the free FlexiHub app.
- An ENET DoIP cable with USB-Ethernet adapter, a VAS5054 or a VAS6154. Ross-Tech/VAGCOM, Tactrix, J2534, Unitronic UniCONNECT+, APR Ultralink/Cheetah, 034Motorsport R4, COBB Accessport and VCP cables do not work.
- SFD unlock: 2022–2024 MK8 cars need the SFD security unlocked for the session – we do it remotely for a $20 surcharge, or you can use your own OBDeleven Pro/Ultimate plan.
