Xenon Range...
55-Xenon Range
Uncheck the box in coding that says North American Region Rules. This enabled me to have tourist mode capability (doesn't activate it) and takes off the restriction of 4 lights on at once.
The Xenon Range controller from NAR to RoW made an interesting change. The headlights will raise ever so slightly at faster speeds which, at least from what I remember, they do not in NAR format.

I have been searching in VCDS for a “setting” which have to do with battery status and S/S functionality. This is what I have found:
19 CAN Gateway - 10 Adaptation
Channel: Start_stop_voltage_limit value 7.6 v changed to 12 v
The value 7.6 v is a value far to low to run a car so I don’t think this is a voltage value, more a “scaled” value perhaps some type of percentage.
I have tested it with the value 10 v and the car run okay without any engine stops when I stopped the car for red lights and smaller traffic jams. After this exercise I changed the value to 12 v. (Highest acceptable value is 12.1). Then it was time for new tests and the outcome was good. The “A” symbol “over lined” was shown in the MFD when the car wasn’t moving as expected during both tests.
This is the only setting at the moment I have changed (regarding S/S), nothing else.
I did also run an error scan this evening, no errors found connected to this change.
You must be aware of that you have to test the change on your own risk, I haven’t verified if you can or should do this change with anyone…. It’s just a homemade conclusion – no warranty!

These are the changes I made to make the signal light go completely off even when the running lights were on. It also adds the same functionality to the inner lights. So the inner lights work the same as the outer, brake light, running light, and signal light. If you just want the outer lights to blink, see the next set of codes.

Here is another tweak for running your blinkers as parking lights. It's different from the other 2 here. I did this today and it worked but I'm not sure about the melting bulb thing. I work from home and usually don't drive long distances.
