Very interesting. Is there a way to enable driving modes on non-AWD Taos? After all, a FWD Jetta has driving modes in the upper trims, and a FWD Taos is basically the same drivetrain.
What is a VCDS cable? I want to learn about what to buy to tinker with my car settings.I have a VCDS cable on order...
BTW, I had a Corrado G60 for 22 years as well until I finally sold it to an old VW parts guy I knew when I moved across the country!What is a VCDS cable? I want to learn about what to buy to tinker with my car settings.
How was the dash cam install for you? Did you end up running the wiring down the pillar over to the fuse box and an add-a-fuse?We picked up our TAOS Pure Grey SE 3 weeks ago. After plugging in my OBD dongle and looking at features in Carista, I stumbled on the Throttle Response section and flipped it from “gradual, controlled by time’’ to “direct, controlled by threshold”. Totally changed the driving of this little beast, you can really feel its torque now. Wife was apprehensive at first but after 2 weeks I asked her if she wants me to flip it back she responded with a grin and a Hell to the No.

Yesterday I added a dashcam as well since it's crazy out here in So Cal with people running reds and speeding where they shouldn't be.
It was my first car, one of the first to arrive in the USA. It came with heated seats despite them not being an option at the time and not being on the sticker or in the manual. It got me spoiled and have had heated seats on every car since.BTW, I had a Corrado G60 for 22 years as well until I finally sold it to an old VW parts guy I knew when I moved across the country!

They have been around for ages (as evidenced by the website!).
Ordered the HEX-V2.
The number of things you can view/tweak on later VW's is astounding.
The diagnostics are excellent, and it will also help you adapt functions/features.
Don't rush out to buy a VCDS cable just yet...All of this
Thanks for the heads up, but the cable is already ordered. At least I won't be banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to get it workingDon't rush out to buy a VCDS cable just yet...
I haven't done that yet - too many late Zoom meetings tonight! I did offer to help with scans or testing if they needed it.Thanks for the heads up, but the cable is already ordered. At least I won't be banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to get it working
Were you able to get an auto-scan dump to them?
It's odd, because in the forums, they have a base auto scan for a 21(?) Taos. However, a quick VIN check does report it as a 22.I haven't done that yet - too many late Zoom meetings tonight! I did offer to help with scans or testing if they needed it.
At least we can say there are 2 or 3 of us wanting Taos support!
I'll let you know what they say.
Oh interesting. Yeah that is strange. I'm sure we'll get it figured out. I just wanted to look for the throttle response adaptation that started this thread!It's odd, because in the forums, they have a base auto scan for a 21(?) Taos. However, a quick VIN check does report it as a 22.
Yeah, I also have no issues helping them if they need it

It was the ‘21 Taos for Mexico and some South American countries, while the USA and Canada had to wait for VW to milk the iD4, which was delayed…It's odd, because in the forums, they have a base auto scan for a 21(?) Taos. However, a quick VIN check does report it as a 22.
