The function can be changed to bring the front fog lights on instead of the dip beams, this retains the 'coming home' function but is much more camp site friendly. It's a VCDS (Vagcom) configurable item.
Likewise in LED headlights you can enable DRLs to extinguish when the associated flashing indicator is activated. Maybe also on non LED lights, I've not tried it.
I've done both of these on my T6, the 'coming home' function for the OP's reason and the DRL / flasher change to make the indicators more obvious.
Anyone in north Shropshire (Telford / Shrewsbury) (or from further afield if you are willing to travel) want these changes give me a call 01952 242167.
