Takes seconds to do. I tend to do it waiting for the ferry/channel tunnel. Shame it's not in the MMI.

Thanks. How stupid that it's a "dealer " job, that would get very expensive when going to Europe a few times a year. I wonder how much they charge or is it a free job if your a customer ?
Good excuse for me to get vcds though 😊

Probably their standard £60/half hour diagnostics/labour charge I'd imagine.
Get a D4, the car knows when it's on the continent (using GPS) and switches the headlights over automatically

So 120 each time you go abroad 😧 Would love a d4 but the budget wouldn't stretch.

Find a friendly independent or buy VCDS, or if you're a cheapskate (like me) buy an eBay lead and cracked version of VCDS.

I have a cheap lead in the garage from the T5 Caravelle but it was a nightmare to get connected. From memory trouble setting ports took me bloody ages then I lost interest. I guess a genuine one would be easier
