Thanks for the info. The D4 seems easier than the D3. I have done the following.

Window open/close via remote.
Double chirp when unlocking.
Ability to enter Nav and Phone entries w/o warning screen.
Increase coming home from 20 to 60 seconds.
Enabled needle sweep.

I tried the signal blink one but don't believe it works with LED light option.
I tried changing the ability to rip songs from CD's to the HDD but couldn't find the option in hidden menu.
I enabled the battery level meter in the hidden menu but it didn't show up in any of the Car menus.

These were all on a 2011 A8L.

Anyone know how to match a new key using Vag Com for the D4?

The answer is you can't. It needs to be done at the dealer, there has to be communication back to Ingolstadt.

quite often your mechanic will have a vag-com set up, mine does, doesn't charge me to make the changes. just a thought.

Thx. I picked up a Ross-Tech VAG-COM and did some mods today. Works great. the only one I can not get to work is lowering the suspension. I'm running version 15.7.1. Looks like the method in lowering the D4 A8 is different that what I found on the forums. However, I finally found where to do it. Issue is I get an error when I adjust the height in mm. I'm increasing the number like on the threads by 15mm but get the error "Request Sequence Error". Any clue?

Well, I purchased the car used. Looks like it is already lowered via VCDS and that's why I get the error. The settings were already at 405 mm.
