I haven't had time to put together detailed instructions and fantastic screen caps like BostonDriver, but here is a link to the instructions on Ross-Tech's site:

I haven't looked into any of the lighting configuration. I don't mind the dimmer running lights, though.

no, this is different than the voice control option that lets you control nav, cd, radio, etc... - pierreb 2008-01-16 14:45:10 (510 views)

Not sure if other voice controls are available to activate via VAG COM... - Boston Driver 2008-01-10 08:34:37 (537 views)

I think it's likely that you'd have to do each module individually. - Europa 2008-01-10 08:40:21 (368 views)

Boston Driver (or Finally or Roswell or Folkie) - are you still tracking the thread? - Europa 2008-01-10 08:27:45 (322 views)

Great post! thanks! any way to get rid of the tire pressure monitor warning? - amirsafdari 2007-12-20 00:02:16 (450 views)

Anyone know when the dealers will be able to start enabling this?? - pmargiott 2007-12-19 20:22:32 (571 views)

This particular modification certainly steps on the toes of Audi of America's product strategy. - Europa 2007-12-20 07:11:02 (621 views)

LOL! Remote window VAG hard on window regulators? Laughable at best... - Boston Driver 2007-12-20 08:47:56 (545 views)

Oh, believe me, I know that. It's total BS, if it's true. - Europa 2007-12-20 10:27:56 (439 views)

I doubt it, and if they do, they would probably charge $$ for their time... - Boston Driver 2007-12-20 06:17:55 (334 views)

Most likely? Never?! - Theresias 2007-12-19 21:42:57 (342 views)

Boston... Where did you learn how to do all of this? - Gibber 2007-12-19 06:33:37 (405 views)

Well, most of it from right here on AudiWorld... - Boston Driver 2007-12-19 06:52:57 (478 views)

I am thouroughly impressed by the depth of knowledge I found on this forum... - Gibber 2007-12-19 12:05:32 (356 views)

Great job figuring this out! Thanks. I'm new to this site and I can't believe ... - RobHS5 2007-12-18 20:08:27 (449 views)

I've been here for over five years and I'm always impressed by the tribal knowledge around here. - Europa 2007-12-19 07:56:16 (336 views)

This is outstanding, Boston - thank you! Near-beers on me. - Europa 2007-12-18 13:48:27 (339 views)

I prefer... - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 17:33:00 (1017 views)

i think stoney needs to make a links page for every model, and this should def be the first - jimmyc83 2007-12-18 13:17:53 (375 views)

does this also voice activate all other commands such as mp3 and nav functions? - lent53 2007-12-18 13:03:39 (469 views)

I do not believe so, this is the bluetooth telephone module only... - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 13:32:53 (952 views)

Tried that.. - Folkie 2007-12-18 16:49:41 (507 views)

Hmm... did you try poking around in "Nav" in the same way as "Telephone?" - Europa 2008-01-10 08:43:03 (351 views)

Same...I think we tried in FinallyS5's car and it would never connect :^/ - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 17:18:53 (428 views)

A list of modules installed in each car can be found by using the "gateway installation list". - Theresias 2007-12-19 11:14:56 (453 views)

I've also enabled function to raise & lower windows with keyfob remote - Folkie 2007-12-18 12:55:45 (657 views)

Now you tell us! My old car had that and it was great in the summer.. Please post! - Roswell'S5 2007-12-18 13:35:35 (489 views)

Note that this can be done using the physical key in the door lock. Just hold it in the unlock/lock - Europa 2007-12-20 07:15:04 (423 views)

True, but not as "cool" as doing it without touching the car... - Boston Driver 2007-12-20 19:01:14 (400 views)

LOL... awesome. - Europa 2007-12-20 22:31:36 (322 views)

Winter or not, here it is - Folkie 2007-12-19 07:29:04 (642 views)

Folkie, if you're still tracking this thread: what byte did you modify to change the windows? - Europa 2008-01-10 08:29:50 (346 views)

The long coding helper should allow you to deactivate it in Byte 00. - Theresias 2008-01-11 06:09:51 (296 views)

Thank you! - Europa 2008-01-11 08:41:45 (265 views)

I'll check tonight.. but make sure you have build 7.11 - Folkie 2008-01-10 10:35:25 (279 views)

Thanks! We did use beta 7.11.1, downloaded last night. - Europa 2008-01-10 10:41:22 (301 views)

Wait until Spring for that mod... - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 13:40:53 (374 views)

I agree.. Even if I dont have a wife. No need for it now. - Roswell'S5 2007-12-18 14:18:15 (359 views)

Wife or remote windows??? LOL!!! - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 17:19:31 (311 views)

Yes Please do - this is the perfect thread to put it in. - Quattrings 2007-12-18 13:34:34 (399 views)

which begs the question: why isn't VC activated at delivery? - Fxhomie 2007-12-18 11:45:00 (442 views)

I know right? - FinallyS5 2007-12-18 12:36:04 (396 views)

awesome! Can't wait to try it. - JasonS4 2007-12-18 10:51:57 (308 views)

Boston Driver and FinallyS5- you guys rock! Thanks so much for this walk-through. - HouseofG 2007-12-18 10:48:27 (394 views)

no problem!!!! - FinallyS5 2007-12-18 10:54:04 (316 views)

and lol @ "Do It!" - crespo 2007-12-18 10:10:35 (383 views)

Yeah, the guys at Ross Tech have a good sense of humor... - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 12:50:19 (417 views)

seriously, one of the best posts ever. *thumbsup* - crespo 2007-12-18 10:02:39 (377 views)

the 09's have voice activation - fdot 2008-09-28 06:11:57 (48 views)

Thanks again for working your computer skills on my car! Now can you activate the hidden turbo? - Roswell'S5 2007-12-18 09:46:11 (381 views)

can you take a pic of the connector under the dash? - DaveLew 2007-12-18 08:58:44 (481 views)

I hit 155 in mine..... - FinallyS5 2007-12-18 10:48:55 (457 views)

Re: I'll take that pic and email it to Boston Driver. And here's a secret: - Roswell'S5 2007-12-18 09:35:57 (577 views)

Boston, you made my Tuesday!! To bad i dont have my car yet!! - B6V8Driver 2007-12-18 08:54:44 (362 views)

Best Post EVER!!! - DaveLew 2007-12-18 08:52:48 (353 views)

Great post - thanks! Did you notice if it supports disabling TPMS? - Quattrings 2007-12-18 08:52:28 (486 views)

didnt see it, ill check soon - FinallyS5 2007-12-18 10:54:26 (401 views)

Thank you! I would owe you for that one. - Quattrings 2007-12-18 13:29:51 (388 views)

You can, but that is technically illegal, so I would not recommend doing it - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 12:37:08 (459 views)

Ya but technically so are my headlights but a cop will never know the difference. - Quattrings 2007-12-18 13:27:53 (352 views)

I am thinking more on the line of a tire blowout due to low pressure that was not detected by TPMS.. - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 13:34:53 (351 views)

...but if you absolutely HAD to disable the TPMS (for example if your winter setup had no sensors).. - Boston Driver 2007-12-18 17:26:06 (443 views)

FYI: That doesn't apply to the A5/S5 (8T), here you need to alter the Gateway Installation List. - Theresias 2007-12-19 11:18:51 (319 views)

It is as simple as removing the check mark in the box for the module? - Boston Driver 2007-12-19 17:55:06 (367 views)

Yep, should be - but keep in mind one should not disable it and it might be a legal issue. - Theresias 2007-12-19 18:03:49 (331 views)

I actually tried this on my Q7 awhile back w/o any luck. - mksap11 2007-12-20 17:56:50 (307 views)

The Q7 has a related coding in the instrument cluster as well as the MMI itself... - Theresias 2007-12-20 19:55:54 (378 views)

Perfect!!! ITS SO EASY!!! - FinallyS5 2007-12-18 08:43:42 (540 views)
