Yes i took off the covers and had them painted, pretty easy to do.

I finished running all the wiring and everything is mounted and wired up. It took about 8 hours to run everything and the canbus hooks into the same pins of the cluster as the ACC did. I have all done but of course there are errors, 4 errors to be exact. Not sure if one of my radar units i bought is maybe broken or if it's coding/calibration. Trying to research now...

16358 - Control Module - External RAM Error, CPU 2
014 - Defective

16364 - Control Module - Programming Error - CPU 2
014 - Defective

16366 - Control Module - Internal Malfunction - CPU 2
014 - Defective

16365 - Control Module - Electrical Error. CPU 2
014 - Defective

The coding is 0010151 for the modules ...... I have not clue if this coding is right or not because the coding was set from the previous donor car.

It would be great to find someone on here with Lane Assist who can tell me what coding they have. Either way, It would be great to get this working.

I ran through the Output Tests and the mirror LED lights come on just fine, and the dash shows the "side assist" and "front assist" under the "Assistant Menu" but side assist is greyed out since there's an error.
 
Man sounds like you almost have it! I know there are a select few with this option that might be able to help out with coding. I have been monitoring to see your progress and great to see you are basically there, I think it is time for me to start now. Couple of questions:

1)How did you end up finally attaching the second radar for which there were no predrilled holes?
2)What route did you take to get wiring from the radars to the front of the car and looking over the wiring diagram you posted earlier where does the wire in pin 6 go to? I noticed you had question marks by this one, it says connection 25 of main harness? which harness is that? Also for can high and low, do you recall which slots on the back of the cluster that is? Lastly, do you know where the white and yellow from pins 4,5 connect into on the wiring harness for the mirror?
3)what type of wire did you use for this? did you have the authentic vw repair wires or did you just go out and get some different colored electrical wiring?


Thanks again for all the help on this project thus far!

So the coding i think is right based on some postings from Q7 forums... sadly i think i just got hosed on a defective unit. I emailed the people on ebay in germany so we shall see.... but either way, I bought 22 guage colored wire from a USA company and just ran that wire. The canbus wire I bought was the authentic VW repair wire. I think it came in 25m length. Plenty long as well as 25 feet for the regular wires was plenty too.

I have this fiberglass pole that connects together from Harbor Freight to fish wire and it comes in handy so much. I ran the wires from the front up the driver side A pillar and through the headliner and down the back left side. I even bought a female plug to match the harness so it was a tight seal. This is the part number 1J0973715, to connect to the harness that we bought that comes from the radar units.

As far as the Can Wires. On the back of the instrument cluster, there are blue and green plugs. Pin 8 is the Can High and Pin 9 is the Can Low. I'll list the PIN Out below and hopefully it makes sense. I did an output test and still getting the errors so might try to buy another module for slave side and see if it works then. Also going to post on the Ross Tech Forums, maybe someone there will know for sure.

From the 10pin connector in the back....

Pin 1 - Power wire to fuse 48 driver side dash
Pin 2 - Can Low to Pin 9 on green cluster plug (same pins as the ACC CAB wires)
Pin 3 - Can High to Pin 8 on green cluster plug (same pins as the ACC CAN wires)
Pin 4 - goes to driver side blue wire on the new 4-pin mirror connector
Pin 5 - goes to the passenger side blue wire on the new 4 pin mirror connector
Pin 6 - Goes to both mirrors to the red wire on the 4 pin connector (i connected both driver side and passenger side red wires together, then ran one wire to the back, they both share the same pin)
Pin 7 - Ground wherever you want
Pins 8,9,10 blank
 
CAN is reading everything. Hmmmm. Slave Module maybe?

James,

This is the Coding from a T2 W12 for Lane Change Address 3C..

Address 3C: Lane Change Labels: None
Part No SW: 7L6 907 566 B HW: 7L6 907 566 A
Component: J0769_SWA_MasterH10 0070
Revision: 00H10000 Serial number: 6PZ 009 014-01
Coding: 0010151
Shop #: WSC 31414 790 00001
VCID: 3C710A357B214DF83D4
Part No: 7L6 907 568 B
Component: J0770_SWA_Slave_H08 0070
No fault code found.

Hope it helps

Looks like you have the correct value already.

Thanks Stuart. That's the coding I have. I'm gonna swap around modules see if anything changes. Just need to determine if one of them are bad or if it's something else.

If your log file sees both units, master and slave as per the one I posted, then you have them in the correct order. Otherwise you would have the leds plugged into the wrong/incompatible unit.

I think there is probably a chance that one unit is faulty. Try unplugging the slave and see if you get a different error response.

Just one thought, I am thinking of picking up the convenience CAB BUS from pins7 (high) and 8 (low) from the Trailer Light module, in order to reduce the cable run. Being a Bus Network, this unit would then become another node on the same segment. Remember I have to cross the cabin to the right hand side and it just adds clutter behind the dash.

Yeah i just figured to swap around modules to see if the error follows one specific module.... all the errors say CPU 2, so not sure what that's all about. I'm about to go pop off the rear bumper cover and see whats going on. Did you look over my PIN OUT, it seems to be correct. And I used VW OEM Can Repair wire to go up to the dash and it's reading everything in the VCDS Software just fine, that's why im not sure what it is. I haven't had it calibrated but i couldn't imagine calibration would cause all those errors. I didn't want to waste a bunch of money at the dealer until that's all i knew i needed was calibration.

Good idea on the Can wire with the trailer module. It wasn't that hard at all to run it over the headliner and down the A Pillar. It's gonna bug me till i get it right so hopefully it's something simple.

As far as earlier, the other guy asked about mounting of the slave radar unit, I just measured, measured, measured, and mounted in the same spot as the driver side one. All the pictures and diagrams i could find looked like it was at the same location on the other side. I then drilled the holes and threaded them. The metal was thick enough to take the OEM triple square bolts just fine.

From what I can tell your pinouts for the harness look fine. It follows what ETKA says. I dont think you have made any mistakes.
 
OK Thanks, yeah headed out to the garage to see what I can find. It's too early for this lol, but i can't sleep, just keep thinking about it!

Sadly it is an addiction, which we are all guilty of. You won't get a good night's sleep until you have a solution.
 
Whats wrong with working on your car at 5.30am? ...Nothing at all :)
 
HAHA, agree.... well here's what i found. If i unplug the slave radar unit, then i still have the exact same errors in channel 3C - Lane Change. The slave unit of course just doesn't show up as an extra component like it did before. This leads me to believe it must be the mast control module that's the problem.

I also tried to flip flop them but then nothing came up, no response from controller. My guess is bc the master is clearly different than the slave unit. Looks like i might try to order another Master Unit, 7L6907566B.

I double checked all my wiring and everything is fine. My ACC is working fine without any errors and they are tied into the same Can Bus at the J533 module in cluster so I know all that is working correctly. Maybe it's just a bad module. I'll keep everyone posted, usually takes a little while for the parts to come from over seas.
 
Just an update, it was the master module. Got the new one in the mail from Poland today, popped it in and PERFECTION! It works perfect now, everything works as it should and no errors in the VCDS! Lane assist retrofit complete! Thanks for the assistance guys!

The module was defective and I rescanned everything and it's great! So so excited. Just came back from a 10 minute test run and all works as it should. Don't even think I need dealer to calibrate it!
 
MFI menu!

That's awesome! I've had all the parts for almost 6 months now, I should've done this install earlier! I'll have to start in the next few weeks when the other half is out of town for work and I have a ton of free time to tinker. I got some great spare wire from work which is consists of 12 - 22 Gauge wires braided in platinum and coated as well so way over the top for this job but will work great for this. Thanks for being the first guinea pig! Hope you don't mind if I message with any questions as I'm sure I won't be able to figure something out...

Absolutely. I love helping out!
 
Hi James,

I think you may wish to check your software version for your Instruments. There was a Service Bulletin released for the MY2008-MY2009 which changed the layout a little. It was to fix an intermittent Air Suspension Height Indicator Problem.. I have attached images of mine which has the Temp in the Top Left, where yours has the Temp in the bottom right.

Mine was upgraded about 2 years ago, before the version was Part No SW: 7L6 920 885 R HW: 7L6 920 885 R (software version 7520 ) after it became Part No SW: 7L6 920 890 K HW: 7L6 920 890 K (software Version 9733)
same car , same cluster..just upgraded firmware.. My bar graph for the Air Suspension would disappear for weeks at a time.

Old Software version was 7520 new was 9733 .. Attached is the Service Bulletin if you wish to chase it up with a Dealer..

Love the work, looks great... Looks like I am dragging my feet again..Hopefully I will be there soon..

Stuart..
