2.3 Golf 8 R mode button on the steering wheel [SFD: yes]
Required items:
- Buttons from Golf 8 R 1EA959442C or 1EA959442F
(successor)
- Original dataset from the vehicle for gateway 0019
- Text editor, for example, Notepad++
- Dongle + software for flashing and unlocking the dataset
with SFD

Installation:
1. Disconnect the battery
2. Remove the airbag from the steering wheel
3. Take ouput the steering wheel trim
4. Remove the button on the left side of the steering wheel
5. Install the new button and reassemble in reverse order
Note: Replace both control buttons. The left one (with the logo) and the right control panel!
6. Take a short drive after reconnecting the battery, then cycle the ignition to clear error messages.

Open the following dataset in a text editor:

„DA_0019_7208_5H0_XXXX_010FPA000003_MQB37XXXXXNBR.xml“

Variables in the filename:

XXXX  Dataset version
XXX  Vehicle type (for example, GTI or R)
5H0  Body variant
NBR  ???

The following code block needs to be modified:

After 3.962 characters, starting from the beginning of the code, the data block (184 characters long) begins
with „FA“.

FA -> Start of the code block

XX -> Depending on the vehicle’s configuration
XX -> Modify

The last 8 characters form the checksum of the entire data block. It must be recalculated when making
changes (see point 4)

FA XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX

The following needs to be changed:

01: XX  FD 02: XX  01 03: XX  01
04: XX  03 05: XX  00
06: XX  08 (Only in Nürburgring mode)
07: XX  07 (Only in Nürburgring mode)
08: XX  FA 09: XX  70

One must pay attention to the order of driving modes, as otherwise, when switching between driving modes,
the sequence may not be correct.

Then upload the modified dataset. The gateway must be unlocked for the upload by using SFD.

The memory address is: 7208 and the login code is: 20103

 Alternatively:
- Engrave the cover with the respective logo. The cover works with every revision and doesn't need to
come specifically from the Golf R
- On the circuit board of the Golf 8 R's keypad, replace the following components:

- 1x SMD 0603 resistor 220 ohms

The size of the resistor depends
on the chosen LED.
- 1x SMD 3430 LED red
For GTI, for example:
LED + Resistor
Brighter: LED + Resistor

Alternatively, use your own circuit board and solder

the following components:
- 1x SMD 3430 LED red
- 1x SMD resistor 70 ohms
- 1x Transistor BC817

But without flashing the corresponding

firmware, it won't work.

connector on the mirror cap.
3. After removing the mirror cap, loosen the two screws of the front frame and remove the frame. The frame is
additionally clipped in at the top.
4. Optionally, remove the turn signal light to create more space. Simply loosen the two screws, disconnect the
connector, and remove the turn signal light.
5. Then, loosen the lower frame to which the entry light is attached and rotate it backward. It is secured with
three retaining clips.
6. Disconnect the connector from the entry light. Then, loosen the two screws of the old entry lights and
remove the lights.

The calculated checksum will be replaced in the modified dataset with the old checksum. See point 6 for the
checksum calculation.

Before uploading the new data set, the infotainment system must be reset to factory settings.
After that, it is necessary to unlock the BCM (control unit 09) via SFD for the upload.
Then the data set can be uploaded. It must be ensured that the 'Delete/Erase' option is activated in
VCTOOL and VCP.

For software versions above 0174, it is recommended to upload all parts of the BCM data set in one go to
prevent an error from remaining in the control unit, which could indicate a manipulated data set.

If problems occur, it may also help to upload the data set a second time.

 For vehicles that are not connected to WeConnect by VW or should no longer be connected:

If the vehicle has not been connected to WeConnect by VW:

After uploading the dataset, the adaptation values in the BCM need to be reset.
STG 09 -> Basic Settings -> "Reset all adaptation values".

If the vehicle has been connected to WeConnect by VW and should no longer be connected:

After uploading the dataset, reset the infotainment to factory settings.

Setup -> Factory settings

For vehicles that should remain connected to WeConnect by VW:

1. Reset the infotainment to factory settings (Do not set up or connect yet!)
2. Remove the vehicle from your WeConnect account page (WeConnect contract will still remain, but I
cannot confirm the status of any purchases)
3. Delete the WeConnect account with VW (Go to Settings -> Account Settings -> Delete User Account)
4. Create a new WeConnect account the following day (You can use the same email address as the old
account)
5. Add the vehicle using its identification number
6. Enter your new WeConnect account details in the infotainment system (Not before)

Subsequently, the relevant data from the vehicle will be loaded into your account and profile, including the
number of turn signal cycles in this case.

6 Calculate CRC32 checksum
After a dataset has been modified, the last 8 characters must be replaced with a newly calculated checksum.
Otherwise, the changes will not be accepted by the control unit.

There is a calculator available for this purpose, for example, on this website:
https://www.lddgo.net/en/encrypt/crc

You need to select „HEX“ for the „Content Type“ and set „CRC-32“ for the „Algorithm“.

The data block, except for the old checksum (last 8 characters), must be entered in the „Input Content“

After clicking the „Calculate“ button, the result will be displayed below as „Check Result(HEX)“.

Alternative: You can also use https://www.crccalc.com for this purpose.

You should copy the 8 characters after „0x“ here.

7 Modifications
7.1 Enhancing Harman/Kardon OEM subwoofer
By making a simple modification to the subwoofer’s enclosure, a significantly better bass can be achieved.

What is needed:
- A vibrating saw (narrow blade) or Dremel with the appropriate tool
- Trox 25 screwdriver
- Something for deburring
- Sandpaper

First, the subwoofer must be removed. It is located in the trunk under the floor in the cargo area. Then,
disconnect the connector (push both retaining tabs inwards) and loosen the large plastic nut in the center.
Now, the subwoofer can be taken out.

Next, the subwoofer must be removed from the enclosure. To do this, simply unscrew 5 screws (Torx 25).
Then lift the speaker along with the plastic part.

Coding list Golf 8 by n3oka Not for commercial use 29 August 2025 54
 Only the marked area needs to be cut out:

After cutting, there must be a hole leading into the interior of the enclosure for everything to work correctly:

Deburr everything and slightly sand the cut surfaces.

Clean the enclosure, including the inside. Then, the

speaker can be reinstalled and screwed back in place.

Now the subwoofer can be placed back into the vehicle.

7.2 Sunglasses compartment for the center console
Since VW did not provide a suitable space in the interior of the Golf 8 for sunglasses, I created my own
solution and 3D-printed it.

The new sunglasses compartment is placed in the center console, beneath the elbow rest.

Additionally, I incorporated a coin holder and a parking spot for the OBDeleven device.

The grey parts shown here (2 parts) will be 3D-printed with ABS, ASA, or another heat-resistant material (as
the interior can reach temperatures of around 60°C in the summer).

The parts shown in yellow will be 3D-printed with TPU to ensure there are no noise issues.

I lined the sunglasses compartment with felt.

8.3 Error: Check Software Version Management (SVM) (B201A00) [SFD: no]
Description: The error occurs when a software update is performed manually, for example, via USB. This
error has no effect.

Required:
- Coding tool
- XOR operation tool, for example: https://mib-helper.com/im-so-xory/

What needs to be done:

Read the HEX code from the 5F control unit.

This can be found here:

Control unit 5F
Adjustments:
Bestätigung der Verbauänderung:
Or
Confirmation of installation change

Now a new value must be determined. To do this, the displayed value must be calculated with the
HEX code "C9D2" using an XOR operation.
Or simply enter it on the website mentioned above, and the new value will be automatically
determined.

The result of the XOR operation must then be entered into the same adjustment channel and
"coded."

The new value will not be adopted, however.

The error can now be deleted and should no longer appear.

Note:
When using VCTool, this value is displayed in decimal not in hexadecimal!

11.3 MIB3 System updates
I will not provide links for system updates due to copyright reasons.
Please understand this.
Updates can be obtained through the dealer (in case of issues) or over the air (OTA).
OTA updates are distributed in waves by VW.

System updates via USB (08.11.2024): 3G8919360BQ/BR 1985 (Discovery Pro/Media)

3G8919360DD 2650 (Facelift)
3G8919360L 1805 (Radio)

System updates via OTA (10.11.2024): 1985 (Discovery Pro/Media) (OUL4)

For the update, the procedure is usually as follows:

1. Extract the update onto a USB stick (preferably with a Type C connector or with an adapter). The USB stick
can be formatted in exFAT or NTFS file format. On the USB stick, it should look like this:

Please note the following points:

• Fully charge the vehicle battery before starting
• Charger connected to the vehicle battery and turned on
• Hazard lights turned on
• Keep the driver's door open
2. Insert the USB stick into the vehicle.

3. Hold down the menu button for about 3 seconds.

4. Now the following needs to be clicked:

DO NOT do the following during the update:

• Start the engine • Turn the ignition on or off
• Interfere with the infotainment system • Hold down the "Power" button

Coding list Golf 8 by n3oka Not for commercial use 29 August 2025 68
 5. To execute an update, press "Update" and choose the source.

6. Once the update is complete (takes about 30 minutes), simply click "Resume".

7. Afterward, the software management error in control unit 5F should be resolved.

To do this, use a diagnostic dongle to read the code in
Discovery Pro/Media:
Control Unit 5F -> Adaptations -> Component_Update_Confirmation -> Confirmation_Key
Radio:
Control Unit 5F --> Adaptations --> Confirmation_of_installation_change --> Confirmation_Key
Enter this code into an XOR calculator. The calculated result should be entered into the same adaptation
channel and "code" should be selected.
You should see a message indicating that the new value has been successfully adopted, although the value in
the adaptation channel does not change. This is normal, and the error should now be resolved.

XOR calculator:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TO-m19At11qjMEcr_ZXCuP6IWgQew0UI/view

VW recommends resetting the infotainment system to factory settings after an update.

If necessary, reactivation of various functions may be required through ODIS-Service, which is only possible with
appropriate access.

15 General Note’s
It may happen that the adaptation channels differ in naming depending on the software used (Odis, OBD11,
VCDS, VCP, VCTool) and their label file.
Also, it can happen that some coding’s do not work with every software version. Therefore, the codings
indicate the software version with which I have tested them. But this does not mean that the respective
coding only works with that software version.
Do not code or update control unit 44 (steering), as this may cause a defect in the control unit. Thank you
for the notice!
