Default VCDS Help needed

Hello,

I just purchased a 2024 A7 Prestige and had space for another vehicle on my VCDS. Unfortunately I have been unsucessful with most of the coding, specifically for the following:
- Deactivate seatbelt reminder (to OFF)
- Tailights during daytime running lights
- disable auto-off feature
- automatic parking brake engagement
- Needle sweep
- And also wanted to explore the strobe brake lights, etc.

I've attempted all codes for the above and get messages about the module not responding or the change was rejected. Not to mention an annoying pop-up about the hood needing to be up to proceed, even though the hoiod was up.

Any suggestions? After so many failed attempts, I'm starting to think the party is over and Audi disabled access to these unlocks.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

How old is your VCDS cable? Might need a newer one if it's old. Also, from what I've read, you can't enable/disable the start-stop feature anymore (I think there's a hack that works, but forces you to run the AC all the time)

I just purchased the VCDS back in October 2023. When you say "AC" you mean Air Conditioner?
