lol

I disabled the seatbelt chime and enabled remote control of the windows on mine. Not sure I'd do anything to a loaner though.

I trust you're kidding. If not, you should pass for obvious reasons. If the dealer notices and was able to track the changes back to you on the loaner, they could charge you for restoring to the defaults, not to mention any possible relationship deterioration with the service dept. for modifying one of their vehicles without permission.

I was just kidding. Audi has always treated me extremely well and I've been a loyal customer. I just finished washing the loaner. I even gave it a tire detail.

You totally sound like me.....

The min I get a loaner or a rental car (especially for a long term) they get a quick detail.

Good to know that I am not the only one.

I know this feeling as well.

I do a quick detail the interior of every loaner when I get it. How do people get everything inside these cars so sticky and gross?

If I'm keeping it for a few days it will get some tire treatment and maybe a wash if it's really bad.

"I disabled the seatbelt chime and enabled remote control of the windows on mine."

OK, now you guys are gonna make me break down and buy the software, just so I can KILL THAT DAMNED CHIME. Only had to pull out the chimer box on the last car. Asked the dealer shop about the remote and was told in no uncertain terms ZAT IS VERBOTTEN! But somehow, they reset the alarm chirp (that I disabled) and the lights-home while they didn't reprogram anything.

I have to check the title again...I'd have sworn I was the only one who had the right to verbotten anything about the car.

Of course while they verbotten that, they also install illegal license plate frames on every car. Obstructing any part of the plate is a pricey violation in most states.

Don't have to disable it, just make one of these, pop it in and no more chime! System thinks it's all good.

The price of the Ross-Tech cable is well worth for it, if for no other reason than the sheer pleasure of thumbing my nose at the nanny state...
