Set DRLs with VAG-COM?

[Joee]

I've just bought an A2 1.4 TDI -05 and I would like to turn on the Daytime Running Lights. In Germany, where the car was bought, it's ok to run without DRLs but not here in Sweden.

Can I turn on the DRL just by using Vag-com or do I need wires and switches?
If so, where can I find the information about what settings I'm supposed to change?
For this car, will I need a CAN bus or will HEX do?

Thanx!

Hi Joee
I could not see anything in the module coding info so I don't think DRL is a feature that can be switched on with VagCom. Ideally, to check out the job yourself, you need a set of workshop manuals which include all the coding info and wiring diagrams etc.
If you dont have a source in Sweden these may still be available from Skipton - see link

DRLs are a function of the light switch itself and to activate the feature requires a physical modification of the switch contacts.

Thanks for the info, I will try to get hold of the work shop manuals!
