    Recode to turn signals on when parked?

    I searched but couldn't find anything. On my VW I was able to use a vag com to recode it to where if I put the turn signal stalk in one direction, for instance to the left, and turned off the ignition and locked the car, then the parking lights on that side only (left in this case) would stay on. Anyone know?

    It's a side effect of the central electronics coding - set Locale to "Rest of the World"

    Euro Headlights & DRL
    Module 09 (Central Electrical), recode to ###XY, where:

    X = DRL
    0 – Halogen without DRL
    1 – Halogen with DRL
    2 – Bi-Xenon with DRL
    3 – Bi-Xenon without DRL
    4 – Bi-Xenon with DRL / tail light / license plate light

    Y = Locale
    1 – Rest of World / Nordic Countries / Denmark / Croatia / Baltic Countries with Bi-Xenon
    2 – Nordic Countries / Denmark / Croatia / Baltic Countries without Bi-Xenon
    3 – USA / Canada with Bi-Xenon
    4 – Canada without Bi-Xenon
    5 – Special Vehicles

    *Bonus 1* Enable Dashboard Headlight Indicator
    Module 17 (Instruments), recode to ??###, where ?? = [existing 2 digit value - 2]

    It's a european thing. Supposedly helps on narrow streets so your car doesn't get hit. IMO, it attracts drunk drivers.

    What are the other effects of the "rest of the world" setting? Also, I looked at instruments 17, but the first two digits on mine are 00. How do I set that -2?
