Select "55 Headlight Range Control", read the display "Control unit not coded". Read and record the vehicle control unit coding, select "Control unit coding", click "OK", then click "OK" again. Enter the recorded control unit coding, click "OK", return to read fault codes, the display shows "Headlights not set". Return and select "Basic system adjustment", click "Read by list". Click "Adjust".
I just helped my friend with the coding for his Volkswagen dynamic headlights last month. It was quite a hassle but doable. First, you need to connect the ODIS diagnostic computer to the 09 Central Electrical System, then locate the 55 headlight module and select the coding function. The key is to input that 24-digit parameter code exactly as provided by the manufacturer—every digit must be correct. I had to check the vehicle chassis number and configuration parameters; if entered wrong, the headlight steering function would be ruined. After coding, you still need to perform basic settings for matching, then test if the lights follow by turning the steering wheel. The whole process takes about half an hour, and it's best done at a dealership—network or power interruptions could cause system errors. DIY is too risky; I recommend finding a reliable repair shop.
