Tech Tips
44-14-01 TPMS Basic Settings
Model(s)
Year
Eng.Code
Trans.Code
Golf
2010
All
All
The 2010 Golf may lose basic settings for TPMS coding or pressure setting. The
TPMS light comes on blinking for 60 seconds and stays on solid to indicate a
system malfunction. Fault 01325 or 01521 may be stored. This happens on cars
that have the BCM with integrated TPMS module.
Recommend checking BCM AW 09 software level (not TPMS). If the BCM software
is lower than 0576, update using SVM code 33BC. After completing the software
update (or if update is not required), make sure the coding of the TPMS module
AW 65 is 01 87 04 and specified pressure shown in MVB 23 is the placard
pressure in bar. If values in MVB 23 are 5.5, change adaptation values 5, 6, 7,
and 8 to the correct sticker pressure in bar. Before changing adaptation values,
access/authorization code 1503 must be entered. After saving the values in
adaptation, double check TPMS MVB 23 values are all the same.

The Apple iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, and iPhone 5s, as well as the iPad 4th generation
and iPod Nano 7th generation use a proprietary “Lightning” connector that is
different than the 30 - pin dock connector found on previous iPhone and iPad/iPod
models.
A new MDI cable (“MDI Adapter Cable – Lightning Charger”) is now available
through the VW Accessories eCatalog that is made for use with iPhone 5 variants as
well as the previously mentioned iPad/iPod models. This cable should provide full
functionality on any vehicle equipped with a UMI (Unified Multimedia Interface). On
MY 13 and older vehicles equipped with an MDI, the software level of the MDI
must be at or above SW 240 (see Technical Bulletin 2024337) in order to be fully
functional.
It is also possible to use the iPhone 5 variants as well as the previously mentioned
iPad/iPod models with the existing 30 pin MDI cable if used in conjunction with the Apple “Lighting” connector (adapter).
This adapter is available for purchase from Apple and is not included with the
device. Use of any aftermarket (non-Apple) adapter may prevent the device from
connecting to the MDI and may only allow for charging of the device.
