Thnx. I took a quick look at the TSB and my car is not included in this TSB (VIN wasn't listed on page 1). I'll take a longer look at it tonight. Thank you once again.

Same here


Yes and no.
On some of the more basic stuff yes.
My advice would be if the VCDS screen doesn't look the same or the bytes are wildly different, let someone else risk their modules.
I've only done VIM as even the belt chime isn't an issue on these models and remote windows is novel but almost never used it on D3.

Most of the modules and channels have pop-up dialogs that explain on a per chassis basis what each item does.
Because there is more UDIS protocol on the D4 there are more pull down options than bitwise/long coding ones.


VIM, remote windows, needle sweep, some people change the turn indicator so it fails to meet DOT requirements, and lowering the ride height.
Not much else that I've seen but these are still fairly 'new' vehicles with not too many folks modifying them yet.

If there is anything specific you're looking for reach out to Ross-Tech directly or in their forum.
Sadly I never could find a concise list even on the D3 - possibly due to lesser volumes than, for example, the A4.

Thnx again.

This is one I am going to try;

Enable Adaptive brake lights
[46 - Comfort System] [Coding - 07] -> Long Coding Helper -> Byte 8
Bit 0 – Emergency Brake Flashing via Turn Lights active - check box
Bit 1 – Emergency Brake Flashing via Brake Lights active - check box

Forgot all about that one.
Let us know if it works, would like to do it on mine too if I can ever find the time.

Well the programming took. Just have to wait until its dark and take a drive to see how well it works.

I wanted to disable "Lights are ON" but the code wasn't there or at lease I didn't see it.

Disable "Lights are on" Warning
[09 – Cent. Elect.] [Coding - 07] -> Long Coding Helper -> Byte 5
Bit 3 - Set to 0 to disable "lights are on" warning when you open the door.

I also set the following;


Enable Automatic Gear selection shown in DIS
[02 – Auto Trans] [Adaptation – 10]
Select “Single Gear Display” from top channel drop down menu
Select “D on/S on” from New value drop down menu

Enable Euro parking lights that turn on signal at night
[09 – Cent. Elect.] [Coding - 07] -> Long Coding Helper -> Byte 9
Bit 0 - Set to 1

Enable Lap Timer
[17 - Instruments] [Coding - 07] -> Long Coding Helper -> Byte 1
Bit 3 - Check the box for "Lap Timer active"

Not sure I would ever need the lap timer.

Awesome! Keep us posted.

I think I turned on the lap timer when I did needle sweep, but never saw it, or figured out how to use it at least...

Lights Are On warning reminds me I've got to ask Audi what the Side Lights Are On means since it happened again the other day around dusk in the garage.

I started a new thread to keep track of what I was able to program and how it turned out.

VCDS Mods done to my 2012 A8L

Haven't tried these instruction yet.

Glad to see a consolidated thread, perhaps we can have it made sticky.

More good info, and in general an excellent site: http://www.audi-resource.com/vcdscode.php

Thnx for the link.
