For the sake of £3.84 = €4.23 I simply couldn't resist.
It is on its way :whistle: .

Found cheap controller plug with loom so changed my mind and I won't be making it up myself.
Or maybe I am getting old and lazy?

Regarding loom.
We could buy the Kufatec loom, but i find it to expensive
Self building is a lot of work, and i guess the Connectors alone from VW will cost a lot, too.
So, buying a T6 loom with DCC is the best, still a lot work of operating DCC part out of it.
But T6 looms are not cheap and not so mutch available.
Looking around, i found Sharan 2010+ and Alhambra, they both have same DCC.
And with cars from 2010 till 2020 there is more potential.
Found a loom for 150€ will make an offer for 90€.

How to find out if loom does have DCC ?
Search for the big DCC ECU Plug.
6Q0973047
Funny thing; that Plug is used in earlyer cars for ABS, but in Sharan ABS Plug is different.
So if you find a loom with that Plug, than it does have DCC.
In sharan DCC ECU is installed in the back.
 
G289 Front right vehicle level sender - 7E0941273
G77 Rear right vehicle level sender - 7E0941274
G78 Front left vehicle level sender - 7E0941273A
G76 Rear left vehicle level sender - 7E0941274A (I don't need this one as I am going to use RR instead ;) )

If your car have Xenon or LED, so it uses the "Leuchtweitenregulierung" dont know the English name, it is J432
Than you already have G289 and G77 installed in your T6 connected to J432.
No need to buy them again :)
Only need to install G78 and rewire G289 and G77 to J250;);)

Unfortunately the loom I found was not the correct one. Had to cancel the purchase.
In the meantime I found the main plug.

Loom arrived and after 3 houres of operating DCC out of it, i found out that:
- Sharan does have different Connector for the Dampers :(
One of those Connectors are for DCC, but T6 Dampers does have a smaller connector :(

I have managed to perform complete bench test of my second hand DCC controller today.

I wasn't able to afford complete genuine OEM level sensor (G78 - second one for the front axle) :p .
So I decided to buy these 2 and make it up by myself.

Result is below and it was well spent €65 = £57.
I just need to add actual mounting brackets.

Hi! What did your DCC project stop at? Why is there no continuation?
 
Thanks to @dnoermann's kindness and generosity I have managed to gather all components.
This retrofit will be completed in near future.
Watch this space :whistle:

I have joined your sect! I have DCC shock absorbers on my hands, 55 units are installed.
At the moment, I have a very big question about the zdc file for DCC

Thanks to @dnoermann's kindness and generosity I have managed to gather all components.
This retrofit will be completed in near future.
Watch this space :whistle:
At the moment, I don't know exactly the location of the rear body oscillation sensor!
 
Hey folks, if you need any hints, I'm happy to help. Have recently done this on a golf.

Coding is as follows (may be slightly different on T6s)

So my coding update for DCC so far is:

Module 01 Engine​

Operating Mode Selection

Module 03 Brakes/ABS Long Coding​

Byte 27 Bit 7 ticked = "DCC Installed"

Module 4b Long Coding​

  • Source Height Value ->DCC
  • LWR Sensors ->2
  • Steering Curve
  • Chassis Unit
  • Eco Mode

Module 5f Long Coding​

  • Byte 19 Suspension Arm Side -? LHD RHD?
  • Byte 22 Wheel Drive?

Module 5f Adaptations​

  • Wheel Circ. ->
  • P Damping Display ->
  • Vehicle Configuration -> Vehicle Readiness Sound

Car Function List BAP Gen2​

  • Charimsa_0x17 -> Active (If you haven’t previously had driving modes)
  • Charimsa_0x17 msg bus -> Databus infotainment (If you haven’t previously had driving modes)

Car Function Adaptations Gen2​

  • Menu Display charisma -> Activated (If you haven’t previously had driving modes)
  • Menu Display charisma over threshold high -> Activated (If you haven’t previously had driving modes)
  • Menu Display charisma standstill-> Activated (If you haven’t previously had driving modes)

Vehicle Function List BAP 2nd Generation, expansion not yet confirmed​

  • Fas Profile 0x4D - >
  • Fas Profile 0x4D msg bus - >
  • Daf Profile 0x51 - >
  • Daf Profile 0x51 msg bus - >
  • Chassis Control 0x57 - >
  • Chassis Control 0x57 msg bus - > According to wiring diagram (and how I've wired it ;/) it’s running on (CAN running gears) – Databus drivetrain OR suspension data bus?

Module 09 Central Electrics Long Coding​

Byte 6, Bit 2 Suspension Levelling?

Module 09 Central Electrics Adaptation​

  • Button in centre console - So the FPA update pack if you never had profiles before tells you to update this module to ensure it’s up to date. ->Driving Profile Button
  • Int. light 2nd Generation - Also ambient lighting dependent on driving mode choice is a dependency too (Shown in
  • Personalisierung – Profile Variants
  • Ambientelicht Zuordnung – Fahrprofil 0-15 Choose your colour depending on the mode

Module 13 ACC Long Coding​

  • Drive PMode selection – Driving Profile Selection (If you don’t already have it)
  • Drive mode race: 1 (My guess with this is it’s based on a lookup table in the Gateway 19.)
  • Drive mode dynamic: 2
  • Drive mode standard: 4
  • Drive mode comfort: 5
  • Drive mode allroad: 4
  • Drive mode efficiency: 7
  • Drive mode offroad: 4
  • Sailing Function : Active/Not Active – Coasting Mode in ECO?
  • SWaP FSID Group 1: 8
  • SWaP FSID Group 2: 0
  • SWaP FSID Group 3: 4
  • SWaP FSID Group 4: 0

Module 14 Dampening (DCC)​

Basic Settings but can only be done when all four wheels are off the ground. This is essentially for the car to calibrate what is the maximum value for the wheels to be off the ground, Ignition on, Bonnet Up,, Engine off.

For everyone with error 00149 - End of Line Programming not Completed, I have found a way to finally clear it. You will have this error if you bought a used unit (replaced) or flashed yours to newer version.
To fix this you need to save your VIN in adaptation channel 30 by saving value 1
Address 14: Susp. Elect. (J250), Login: 06865 Adaptation channell 30 save 1.
After this I had to cycle key two times,or if this doesn't work, remove power to electronic fuse and error is gone after that automatically or clear faults.
For basic setting you need to lift your car so that wheel are hung and sensors are reading values,
Address 14: Susp. Elect. (J250) Login: 31564, Basic Settings: channell: 1 Go ON/OFF.


Module 16 Steering Column Long Coding​

Can’t find anything yet but I’d be surprised if DCC didn’t change steering feel.

Module 17 Dashboard Long Coding​

Possibly appears as Dynamic Cruise Control ? DCC ?

Module 17 Dashboard Adaptations​

  • Adaptive Chassis Control -> Installed
  • Driving Profiled for range remaining.

Module 19 Gateway Long Coding​

  • FPA FunktionStuffenDCC -> Active
  • Byte 08 Driving Programs
  • FahrProfilAuswahl ->Driving profile Selection
  • BCME Komforte Reichweite -> Comfort range

Module 19 Gateway Adaptation​

  • Installation List ->Wheel Dampening Electronics - >Yes
  • Driving Profile Selection Parameter –>Might be interested to know what selection counter master reset does?
  • Sollverbau – Fahrprofildrechschalter -> For 4motion 4x4’s only. The rotary knob thing.
Drivers Profile" is SWaP (software as a product) and can only be activated via ODIS. If you’re after the buttons, wiring and activation buy the 5G0054809 FeC if no driving profiles are present ~£120

Module 22 All Wheel Drive​

Chassis ->

Module 44 Steering Assistance​

  • Wheel Dampening Electronics ->Active
  • Driving Profile selection -> Active
  • All Wheel Drive unchecked on a golf r? this the same for anybody else?

Unconfirmed - Module 20 High Beam Assist + 55 Xenon Headlights

The headlights will have previously been getting their positioning exclusively based on the rear level sensor G76 so we’ll need to code it so that they get their message from DCC from now on. This will be done in Module 4B
 
My rear DCC shocks are installed :inlove:.
I know, I am slow but trying to catch up.
20220904_192629.jpg20220904_192657.jpg20220904_192713.jpg

I am going to try stick the front ones in over the course of next few days, weather permitting.

By the way, there will be a full set of ordinary shocks in very good condition for sale soon :rofl:.
 
Here is a write-up of my PQ25 DCC retrofit, albeit to the Polo 6R.
 
Here is a write-up of my PQ25, albeit to the Polo 6R.
So having done this on a Golf R too, the last step wasn't a step I even knew needed to be done until I realised I was bottoming out all over the place in comfort. You may have already done this and alleviated in the writeup (which is great by the way :) )

You need to load the XML parameters to your DCC module for your car. As soon as your 14 module detected a new VIN when doing basic settings it drops the parameter set it previously stored. Granted the new settings are stored, but not the parameters.

Let me know if you need a hand and I can point you in the right direction, that is if you're fussy about completing things to 100%.
