Auto lights: factory

Automatic lights use the factory threshold.

Odyx Pro🔒 SFD activation required

What changes

Unit 09, object 0D0C: byte 1, bits 0–1 = 01. Automatic light threshold — factory.

Details

Light sensor sensitivity (Lichtsensorempfindlichkeit) in object 0D0C: 00 — more sensitive, 01 — factory, 10 — less sensitive. Golf 8 from 2020 to 2024, central electrics unit BCM37w (same as the A3 8Y). Odyx first checks that the long coding of unit 09 is empty, as on the new unit, and refuses before writing otherwise. Unit 09 on the Golf 8 is SFD-protected — a token for unit 09 is required. The map has not been tested by writing to a Golf 8. Odyx reads the object first and shows the changes. Undo from the write history.

Other options

This is one option of the “Auto lights threshold” setting: only one can be active.
