Please check your inbox. :wink:

Well, since the installation and correct operation of these 2Q0 H radars is a challenge that 'we' have to overcome, the agreed payment will be made when the radars are 100% operational, not before. It doesn't matter how long this challenge takes us.

By email we will fine-tune the details that I hope you will post them here later, ... in case/if you wish to enlighten us with your installation.

OK, Fernando, i would like to thank you publicly once again, for your help and for your ethics. I feel a little uncomfortable about this proposal of yours, regarding the payment, because the project will proceed quite slowly. On the one hand, I don't have enough time and on the other hand, it is my daily car for my work.

To the project now:
Radars:
2Q0907685H > slave
2Q0907686H > master

Rear bumper brackets:
5E6907456
5E6907455

Connectors (for radars):
1J0973714 x 2 pieces.

Of course i will have to find side mirror caps with opening for LED lights and of course the LED lights. But i am thinking to buy (at first) something like that:

You don't have to worry about money-related issues, although it is a priority for today's world, I have a different perspective on this. :wink: As I mentioned before, it doesn't matter how long it takes to carry out this installation, you can be totally calm about it. 👍

Money should never condition our thoughts for this challenge, you should freely enjoy this installation in all its breadth.

It is a challenge for many frugal reasons that will arise but that we have to overcome one after another. I am clear about the work that needs to be done, but I am not clear about all the issues related to third parties (diagnostic tools, programs, etc.).
For now, fortunately, you already have a place to remove the CP (which will not be a problem) and to upload the data set that I have sent you... we will see what happens with the security measures implemented by VW.

As long as you use 12v LEDs you should have no problems, it is even an excellent idea to do tests with those LEDs before installing the original ones.👌

You only need a very powerful force for this installation, the will.
Let's hope that this installation does not last 3 years so that you can at least enjoy the radars for some time.😄

OK than lets start the conquest for the BSD on MQB Evo

The parameters sets must downloaded during the online connection ? I thought it is something that i can do from my home (after the CP removal of course)


What do you think about those ?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006 ... ry_from%3A


They are convenient, but my mirrors don't have the engraved design, so I think they are useless, unless I can find mirror glass for my car that has this design. There are no original ones, of course.
Anyway, with LED lights like the ones above, I will do my tests easily. Thanks for the info of 12V

Well, once the CP is removed (enabled according to ODIS), the data sets can be 'transferred' after unlocking the SFD, they must be transferred with a diagnostic tool capable of doing so. I don't know what diagnostic tools you have, with VAS-ODIS this doesn't take even 1 minute.
For these specific data sets the compressed file is transferred, there is no need to unzip it.

Those LEDs you show us are 5v, they will not work. You must use 12v ones.

Nice screen, and lovely English sky. 😄 ... 🙏
I take comfort in knowing that the dust on these screens is similar everywhere on the planet.

2Q0 radars have the ability/function to modify the brightness of the BSD warning lights.

The shipment is already on its way/flying to destination according to the tracking, maybe we'll get lucky and you'll receive it sooner than expected.

Hello,
i am still waiting for a few things, so it does bother me (the waiting time).
I'm thinking a lot about the warning light. The most OEM solution is to buy a new mirror cap (with the opening for the warning light) and the warning light itself. I have to paint them (the caps) and then install them. It's something that requires a certain amount of money, but less effort on my part (it's the OEM solution).

I looked for the solution you applied Fernando with the mirror glass but I didn't find it available anywhere, since they are not an OEM solution in the case of my car.
I found a DIY from SEAT LEON where the guy put a light behind a point of the mirror that was empty (it had no plastic) and the result says that he was satisfied.

I don't know if there's such a gap in my mirror glass, but it's a thought.

The OEM solution is definitely the best and most satisfying option. It's a blessing to have it... money should never be a factor in your thoughts when retrofitting safety aids.🤷‍♂️.
I wouldn't install any other than the original ones for your Octavia, they look very good.

As another option, there are those who added small non-OEM LEDs to the plastic frame of the mirror assembly instead of machining the glass. There are some pictures of this in some Drive2.ru thread.

For the 6R I was very lucky to find the applied solution, and for the Golf I changed the poor original ones for the BSD WL ones from the Passat B8 already installed in the mirror caps for Golf7/7.5, which are excellently fantastic.

According to the tracking, the radars are very close to you, I suppose you will receive them today or tomorrow, it depends on the postal service in Greece.

I agree, safety first.

The package is in Greece, but I wouldn't bet on the speed of the Greek post office. We will see. I am still waiting for the brackets and for the connectors.

I would make the same bet on the postal service in Spain. Since 2008, everything began to change abruptly for some of us who were not guilty of anything, we were even insulted.
Others did wonderfully, and it is something that I will never forget because of how absolutely bad they have made me feel since then.
The decisions made were totally wrong.


We will see what happens now with the recent Carrot of big dreams... 😁 ...who sows storms, reaps tempests...

This is true, we are (especially Europe) entering uncertain times ...

You wrote that you own both 6154A and VNCI (red) diagnostic tools. Which do you prefer? I'm thinking of buying one of these. I read some bad comments about the 6154A but I have no opinion.

Not related:
A little Greek philosophy that those taught us and that is valid for today's world.

The ephemeral that you consider permanent.

Remember that you are mortal,
because when the fever of your achievements,
and the weight of your worries dissolves,
what will remain
will be the memory of what you were able to love,
to create, to share,
not what you won, nor what you built,
not even what you suffered,
all of that will be dust, just like you.

---

VAS 6154A or VNCI 6154A?
It's the same tool, I don't understand why the bad comments about the VAS 6154A, maybe they are dedicated to a different VAS 6154A than the one I have.

Either one will work perfectly.

VNCI 6154A in case you are worried that 'someone' can block the device by the serial number.
I don't know the stupid, ineffective and immature reason why 'someone' wants to block a device... but I don't want to philosophize about this so as not to give clues to the 'enemy'...😁

I would pick VAS 6154A high quality clone anyday or Genuine VAS6154A if I hit a jackpot 😁

For better or worse, in Europe there are so many things to thank the Roman Empire for that I don't know where to start, the communication routes or water channelling systems among many others... here are a huge number of examples of it.
At least currently we are still civilized, or at least that's what is written and it seems to be... although I'm not entirely sure.

I think I must have some ancestor who was a Roman Emperor...😁 ...there were a couple of them around here.
