This video is on how I activated the VW needle sweep on a 2016 VW Jetta. I accessed channel 17 – Instrument, under adaptations, selecting indicator celebration from the drop down, ultimately selecting activate. I did this with a tool that can communicate through the OBD port. Please share if your tool can communicate with channel 17, if so are you able to change adaptations and lastly what tool are you using. Thank you for sharing your experience with your diagnostic scan tool.

VW offering a fine combination of self checking and modern aesthetics. Typically associated with sports cars, where gauges are swept to check for proper function of the motors and to make sure limits are calibrated properly, as for the Jetta VW gauges sweep it could be self visual check (different drivers utilize the limits of the cluster different from others) and for a modern look. If you look at my other video https://youtu.be/0C_Fj_cO9hU on a new Mercedes-Benz C class you will see Mercedes-Benz already has the needle sweep as part of the instrument cluster function on start-up. Please share if you would consider adding this feature or do you wish your car already came with it? Does your tool can communicate with the instrument cluster? Are you able to change adaptations and lastly what tool are you using? Thank you for sharing your experience and have fun!
