Deactivate Seat Belt Chime is obvious. What do the other 3 changes accomplish?

Gear selector will display the gear you are in as oppose to just D or S.

VIM is self-explanatory... you can play video while the car is moving.

Turn signal blinks is just a value. I think the default is 3 blinks.

Is there a consolidated list / thread of C8 VCDS and/or OBDeleven tweaks somewhere like this one for the B9 A5/S5/RS5: ***Official*** B9 A5/S5/RS5 OBDEleven Coding Thread (Updated 5/20/2019)? I’ve seen it referenced but not found it.

So quick question. If I want to disable VIM only for my USB drive, do I only have to change the value to not_blocked for only the Media channel and leave the others as default or do I have to do the rest of the channels as well? Do I also have to change the Channel ENG167428-nhtsa_properties-limitation_dependency if I don't want to use Android or CarPlay?

Thanks for your help and finding these out!

I have a 2017 Q7. Would you know where the VCDS codes are?

AUDIQSS

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this question.

AUDIQSS

Many of the codes are the same I'm sure. If you want a better answer, I suggest asking on the Q7 forum.

Were you able to apply the same VIM instruction/steps on your C8 A7 successfully?

OBD11 has Scandinavian DRLs which I highly recommend. Basically it keeps the tail lights on and doesn't turn off the front drl when turn signal is on, it dims it.
