Notes:

In vehicles with a standard LED tail light (8VG), a dark-tinted LED tail light or Exclusive Design tail light
(8VQ  Figure 1) can be retrofitted.
For this purpose, it is necessary to route control lines (LIN bus), to replace the tail lights and then to code
the new functions.
The design and shape of the new tail lights correspond to those of the standard lights. The differentiated
look contains:
•
•
•

Arc without red components
Specific design of the side vents
Specific Coming/Leaving Home function

Animation runs from the outside to the interior for approx. 0.7 seconds.
Animation only runs when the vehicle detects a certain darkness and the vehicle is stationary.
When the animation intervenes 4 times in succession, so-called “play prevention” prevents the other
animations. The function (reset) is reset by switching the vehicle ignition on again.
“Automatic Coming/Leave Home = Home lights” function corresponds to the standard lighting.
