I bought the hex-net vcds about a month ago and one of the first things I did was to start messing around with 'tubes' adaptations. This video explains what's it all about. In the case of my T6.1 (MY2024, Discover Media Pro) I was able to use Versions_0 through 4. They have slight differences only. So a bummer, because I wanted GTI style red for my van. All of them were stock blue so I started searching and activating additional menus for colour selections.
I did it with my mediocre german so not always sure what I was enabling. I am sure I was able to enable a 'background lighting' menu with RGB selection though. It obviously didn't change any background lights because T6.1 does not have that hardware so I disabled it. Obviously I have no backups and don't remember all the changes and configurations I tried.
What I am sure now is
17-Instruments
ENG153766-Tube_version - about first five appears to be working
IDE02489-Display depiction - all are working and they can be further modified by changing tube versions
IDE09732-ENG126835-Interior light: light configuration-Ambientemenue mit globalem aus - shows OFF button in the "background lighting" menu
IDE09732-ENG126836-Interior light: light configuration-Ambientemenue mit alle Zonen - this seems to enable the "background lighting" menu
Today, after 4hrs of freezing in the car trying to get this further I was able to change display depiction to version three and achieve golden colours on the cockpit. Further modification of tubes adaptation changes the shapes of the dials.
I am unable to change the gold to anything other than stock blue. So I tried getting that 10-30 colours picker back on. I enabled the 'alle zonen' adaptation but all I got was the menu with just Off button. I remember I have some other lighting/ambient lighting related settings activated/installed.
Another problem is that most of the forum threads about this are dedicated to OBD11 which are hard to transfer to VCDS for a noob like me.
I also found a couple of VCDS guides (VCDS HELP (Ambient Lighting Color Selection)) but they mention "IDE09731-ENG125015-Int. light: 2nd generation" which I can't locate and activate.
Now I got few questions:
- what version does this 2nd gen int light module come from
- how to get that colour picker menu back on
- how to make it change colours on both screens (cockpit + discover media pro unit)
- do I have MIB3? Discover media pro
