VCDS Programming Question
Howdy all - My Ross-Tech VCDS cable arrived yesterday, and I spent a few hours this morning playing with stuff on the '14 Q5 TDI.
An Auto-Scan of the car was the first thing I did to snag all the info about it. During the scan I got a bit freaked out, as some of the motors in electrical components started actuating (or at least that's what it sounded like), but everything seems normal so I guess that's normal behavior.
I got a bunch of things I wanted programmed, but VCDS threw an error when I tried to program the Gear Selection Display in DIS - basically, it threw an error saying I needed to provide a WorkShop Code and a few other things.
Is it OK to accept the default values of these things, or do I risk goofing anything up here? I figured I'd check here in the Q5 forum as I'm guessing this is car-specific.

Different modules, different coding, access protection

VCDS should promt you with the WSC and use it...
On my US 2014 Q5 2.0T , I have coded the following....
1. Gear selection indicator
2. Eliminate DRL wink with turn signals
3. Eliminate rear wiper wipe in reverse
4. Turned off rain sensing wipers
5. Turned on passenger outside mirror tilt on reverse (I don't have that option package)
6. Fogs on with hi-beam
7. Minimum radio volume on start up
I haven't come across any coding that hasn't worked, but obviously from list above I haven't done everything.
