Driving Profile Selection is handled by the Gateway (module 19) and it's a /SWaP feature, nothing you can do with , need with online account. trust me I learned it the hard way when I upgraded my Gateway.
anyway, if that was the case you should have an error logged. maybe DPS is messed up because of errors somewhere else.
can you post a current autoscan? erase all first so we see what stays.
Hello!
I can find with Online support. That is not the problem.
Update: car has custom software installed on the . Designed specifically for Golf 7R DQ500.
I no longer have any error codes (I think / I hope)
Will check again, but I usually don't have any.
Now, the driving mode selection is changed as it follows:
1) when in Park Mode, if you select Sport from Normal (for example) the idle REVs should rise from 800 to 1100 RPMs. This is NOT the case, it does not raise the idle revs, but when you put the lever in D it automatically remembers that you asked for Sport, and does all the adjustments correctly. IF you put the lever back into Park, it remembers and holds the idle REVs up, and everything is in Sport.
2) if you choose to put it back in Normal / Comfort / Eco while it is in Sport and the lever is in Park, the same behavior applies. It does nothing while it is in P, and when you move the lever to Drive, it adjusts everything correctly, and then if you put the lever back in Park, the car is in the previously chosen mode.
My main concern is a different one now:
Car is a 2015 Golf MK7R with an 2017 Audi RS3 DQ500 gearbox - facelift RS3 400.
I am running the gearbox for well over 14.000 km now, but one issue still bothers me, and I cannot find the cause of it.
Initially, when I have installed the gearbox on the car, the car would drive away from a standstill at 1500 RPMs in D - Drive mode, and at 1900 RPMs in S - Sport mode. This setting was corrected when I installed the TVS DQ500 Golf 7R RS3 software.
However, not the car engages 1st gear at the correct RPMs, however, I believe that it is engaging 2nd and 3rd still at 1500 RPMs. I am not sure about this, and nor is it so important, BUT, every time you come to a stop, or you take your foot off the accelerator pedal, when the car comes from D3 to D2, around 15 km per hour, car stars COASTING.
First of all, the RPM needle starts bouncing, up, down, up, down, and then remains down.
So, the gearbox engages, disengages, and starts coasting the car, and it will not engage again until you put your foot on the accelerator pedal.
This behavior has been noticed since first moment i installed the gearbox on the car, and it did it using the Audi standard software, and still does it using the TVS software.
The guys from the software company confirmed that this is the first time they see this problem and they do NOT have encountered this problem before on any other conversion.
Now, the funny problem is, i found a car with the same behavior, which is a BRAND NEW car. Seat Tarraco, 2019, Diesel, running DQ500 gearbox, with excessive clutch slipping, and which disengages also.
I have attached some clips here, in order to get a better understanding of what I am on about:
In this clip at 0:34 -> you can see the gearbox comes from D3 to D2, and then the needle bounces, and D2 is disengaged, and remains disengaged until I touch the accelerator again

In this clip from 0:15 you can notice excessive slippage of the clutch car WAS IN GEAR, in S2 at all times speed was not rising.

The problem with the Tarraco was similar with mine:
if the foot was on the accelerator pedal, car would drive normally. But the foot needed to be on the gas pedal for more than 2-3 seconds.
In the clip, I was giving 1 second inputs on the gas pedal, therefore the car was slipping the clutch.
Any ideas that could help me fix this problem, would be greatly appreciated.
You would actually be my hero!
Maybe i did something wrong with the DQ500 electrical conversion?
But I believe i did not, since i do not have any error codes on the gearbox, nor do I have communication issues with the gearbox.
One more question if I may:
What is the KLine you previously indicated on the DQ250? Pin #1?
I had it on the DQ250, and on the DQ500 I did not connect it as in the conversion sheet that I had, it said "not used anymore".
I connected my gearbox as it follows, for the wire pinning:
start stop
can high
+30 20 A
+15 5A
can low
-31 GND
P/N
I did not connect, as they were stated as (not used anymore):
K-Line
Reverse Output
+30 20A (one is connected, one is not)
-31 GND (one is connected, one is not)
Since I did not have the problem with the disengaging gears before, and I now do, i am asking the question..... wouldn't this pin need to be connected to the DQ500 gearbox also?
What does the KLine pin do?
I have DQ500 from 2017 / 2018 RS3 400 - gearbox code TCR.
Thank you!
