AWD It's there as a menu option, but it doesn't open! Otherwise, the on-board computer shows the percentages for the rear axle, as well as the newton meters of the Haldex.
I see you've found the diagnostic options in hidden menu. Have you tried increasing the "KL Timeout" parameter to the maximum ?
The ColorMFA does not use diagnostic data when displaying parameters. The Haldex data on the screen (percentages and torque) is obtained from the CAN bus. The Haldex unit continuously sends a specific set of data. This has nothing to do with diagnostics.
I have a regular air conditioner, not a climate control system. Is it normal for it not to show that it is on when it is?
Not all systems send data to the CAN bus. Yes, that's normal.

I have set everything that is timed to maximum. I have also activated all the protocols. Nothing happens.

Do other diagnostic adapters (like VCDS) connect normally ? Does ColorMFA itself connect to other ECUs ?
Actually, I don't know what the problem is. It should work if the K-line has no problems connecting to the Haldex unit. Is there any oxidation of the wires in the Haldex connector ?

ColorMFA connects to other available ECUs. I haven't tried it through the VCDS, I'll check it in the future. I don't know if there is oxidation, I'll see about that in the future.

Why? Everything works as it should.

Hi! I’d like to see an analog speed signal output added to ColorMFA.

I swapped the 5HP19 for a 6HP19, and there is no longer a dedicated speed sensor, but the vehicle speed data is available on the CAN bus.

To display data from the audio unit and navigation system, ColorMFA supports only original VAG protocols: DDP, DDP2, BAP, and CDEF (on certain vehicles). Just like the original instrument cluster.
This CarPlay add-on simply uses the RNS screen to display information from its own Linux-based system (substitutes the video signal). I assume this CarPlay module does not transmit any information via standard VAG protocols.
ColorMFA does not directly support CarPlay or Android Auto (it is also impossible to display data directly from the phone/tablet).

Thx for detailed informations.
I would like to add somethings, this carplay add-on is connected with canbus and a lot of informations like night- modus; on-off etc. working together.
So i had the hope, there is an option to show the navigations informations in color mfa display.

I think it needs to receive information via the CAN bus to function correctly. However, I’m not sure if it actually transmits anything onto the CAN bus. If it is capable of sending data using standard VAG protocols, then ColorMFA should be able to display it.

A question about CarPlay adapter parameters ? I don't know what settings it has.
A question about ColorMFA parameters ? We’ve discussed this topic before. You have an adapter installed for the RNS unit to work; it blocks all protocols and converts all data into the old DDP format. ColorMFA does not see anything other than the standard data for a car of your model year (your adapter prevents this from being seen).

In any case, even the BAP in the RNS does not allow the full map to be displayed on the instrument cluster screen. The navigation image simply looks better (photo below) and data from the audio unit is displayed without truncation (the old format allowed for only 8 chars). Thats all. The full-map display mode (like on a phone or tablet) is not available for any of the VAG protocols.
