Note
To completely disable it, you need to reload the encodings, i.e. Turn off the car, remove the key and start it again.
Indications of the remaining space in the tank on the display¶
The remaining space in the tank is the approximate value of liters that can be filled into the tank. The scale step is 5 liters.
When the tank is fully filled, “---” is displayed.
The readings are very approximate and may vary ± 10 liters from the actual condition.
Features
Valid only for vehicles of the 2012 model year.
Block 17 → Adaptation:
channel “IDE04848” → set value “display” / “ok” → execute

Byte 8 – Bit 6: Deactivate
Power folding mirrors¶
If suddenly someone needs to disable the function of electric folding mirrors, then the value “4096” must be subtracted from the current value, respectively, if you need to enable the function, then the value “4096” must be added to the current one.
Features
This method disables the electric folding of mirrors in principle, i.e. Neither the alarm system nor the key fob nor the joystick for controlling the mirrors works.

Block 52 → Coding → 1 field → set the desired value → execute
Lowering the right rear view mirror when reversing¶
When reverse gear is engaged, the right rear view mirror lowers to the lower position for a better view of the parking area in the area of the rear right wheel.
The mirror returns to its original position when the ignition is turned off or when moving forward at a speed above 20 km/h.
Features
Only for electric mirrors with long coding in block 52.

Setting the time for heated mirrors and rear window¶
In the northern regions, the standard 10 minutes of heating may not be enough, then the heating time can be increased (or reduced, if anyone needs it).
Features
The required value is calculated using the formula: value = time (in seconds) / 40.
That is, if you need to set the heating time to 20 minutes, then 1200 / 40 = 30, enter the value “30”.
You only need to enter whole values!
Block 09 → Adaptation:
25 channel → test → enter the required value → save
Note
The default value is “15”. If there is no need, then you should not abuse the heating time, because... glass and fuses may not be able to handle the heating for a long time.
Deactivating the heated mirrors and rear window¶
Perhaps some people do not need automatic shutdown of the heated mirrors and rear window.
Block 09 → Adaptation:
25 channel → test → enter “254” → save
Recirculation memory¶
The function allows you to record the state of interior airflow recirculation. Very useful in winter on cars with automatic start.

Note
Even if the encoding is successfully written, it is not a fact that the function will work, because Suitable only for single copies of cars.
Adjusting the speedometer readings¶
In accordance with safety standards, the speedometer readings are slightly higher than the actual speed.
Different vehicles have different levels of overestimation.
Features
The number of pulses from the Škoda Octavia (01) overestimates the reading at 100 km/h by ≈ 8 km/h, from the Škoda Fabia (02) - by ≈ 15 km/h.
The most accurate reading is achieved by setting the number of pulses from the VW Golf (07), but this value may not be recorded on all units.
