Hi,
I've got a 2015 Audi A6, trying to change things on car in adaption in number 17 module but asking for security key, does any of you guys have the key for it??
Thanks.

I've taken delivery of my new 2017 A6 today (Build Week 3) and seem to be having issues with my existing CAN cable - does anyone know if I need an updated version (HEX) ?

Cheers,

“Disabling engine stop when opening driver's door” does not work on my 2012 Avant. When I access the module and long coding it appears that someone has already changed the coding from 07 to 0F with the binary reading 00001111. However, when the door is opened the engine still switches off...:aargh4: This is probably the most annoying feature, even more so than the seat belt chime.

Any ideas or assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I've set it to RS6 and cant remember how to change it back lol.

Nope, it's good for the MMI startup screen.

If you meant the DIS logo, then maybe you can change that with this trick:

Has anyone managed to change the splash screen on their A6's. I followed the above guide and then reset the mmi ans still no change on there. In the guide it shows an "update and return to menu" at the bottom of the hidden menu. But I dont have that option, once I have chosen my desired screen in the menu and go back to the main menu on the green screen it does save the option I want. Switch the car off and then on again it still does not load the S6 screen lol. As for the DIS screen I'm assuming I need VCDS ?

You assuming right: To change the DIS startup screen, you need the VCDS and the above trick. If you are in the Green Menu, then you can change the MMI startup screen only.

Usually (at least for the non-FL models), the MMI screen changes with the Green Menu, and you don't need VCDS to do it.

Just checked it on mine (MMI K_0770 Green menu version 1.0), and there is a menu item called MMI start screen. Unfortunatly now I can't take picture from that screen, however it exists in this submenu:

Anybody out there that would do some VCDS tweaks for me...for beer tokens etc? I am in the north Ayrshire area...tho I am in Glasgow central belt a lot...also occasionally in Edinburgh and Dunfermline etc. I have a prefacelift 63 reg car.

Changes I was thinking of were;

1. needle sweep
2. Video DVD display when driving
3. Lap timer
4. ?

Have anyone seen or heard about turn signal on head up display ? It would be so awesome, found a video on YouTube where someone coded this function on a BMW.
I also had this function on a C5 Corvette with HUD and really miss it on the A7.

Hi AT, it's seems that I may need to update the firmware. How do I go about this. I have previously updated a colombus rns510 on my vrs no problems there. Are Audi's similar with dvd ??

Seems like the BMW hud's can handle a fair few things - I've so far seen the indicator ones you have mentioned, gear, doors open diagram
Over on the Q7 forums, someone did manage to apparently get gear and i think lap timer on but when asked, no one responded on how to get it done

Might go through the options on vcds again but I suspect it will be more than just checking a box

How do I go about this.

I'm not a professional :) What I can tell you is, that when I updated mine in a garage, then they simply installed te new firmware from an SD card. Im my case, there was nothing special, the MMI updated itself without any problem. However I suggest you to check these pages for problems, as for example there were some issues with the Bose audio system update.

IMHO, you can start a new topic with your car's details, your MMI (probably RMC?) version, and you will get the proper answers soon :)

I don't know whether it was discussed, or not :)

What do you think, is it possible to select an option to immediately begin to load the MMI when you press the door opener button on the keyfob, or in all the cases I have to wait until I press the ignition button?

I think this method could be a lot more comfortable, then to wait for the booting when you are already sitting in your car, started the engine, and you already want to drive away.

I recently had my Halogen Headlights upgraded to non-AFS Bi-Xenon. The installer has had some difficulty in coding the Kerb function of the All-Weather lights and wonder if this has anything to do with my wanting to keep the original function foglights in the lower grille. Perhaps in the mistaken belief that they would be better than All-Weathers in foggy conditions.The current arrangement is that my orginal foglights work as foglights but at low speed also functions as kerb lights when turning. Difficult to see a difference as they are halogen. The All-Weather lights do nothing. Is there a coding / wiring arrangement that allows the All-Weather lights to take on the kerb light function while keeping the function of my original foglights?

Hi, is it possible someone could snap a picture of which boxes should be marked on the mod for the mirror drop? I'm thinking the previous owner may have messed with it and maybe ticked the wrong bit as my mirror will not drop when it's done on vcds...I'm wondering if he has marked another box by mistake

Is your mirror adjustment switch set to the passenger side?

The information you require is listed on the first page of this thread.


8. Passenger door mirror dip on selecting reverse.
When reverse gear is selected, the passenger door mirror dips to show the kerb if the mirror control knob is set to the passenger door mirror position. When driving forwards and exceeding 5mph or when switching off the car, the passenger mirror returns to its original position. If the position of the mirror is changed when dipped, this change is remembered the next time the mirror dips.

It sure is... it's not showing any error codes and that's what's making me think it's something the last owner has done as a couple of mods had been done already. Maybe selected other boxes and messed things up. If I can check standard or the right settings across that module I should know

I'm not sure about it, but there was a message some days ago, that there is an option in the user MMI interface to select whether you want to use the mirror dip function or not. As I don't have this submenu (probably it's the part of the MMI with the memory seats submenu), I don't know if it's exist at all, but if yes, then maybe your problem is simple, the mirror dip was disabled in the user MMI interface, and therefore it's not working even you select the passanger side mirror with the selector.

IMHO, that's all we can help without a full VCDS scan, so if the above solution is not working for you, then I suggest You to post your full VDCS scan on the ross-tech forum, and by this, they will be able to help you. Probably it could be also useful idea to ask the former owner, why the mirror dip function is not working, maybe you will get an instant answer.

Thanks for your answer...I don't have that menu either... I'm trying to put it back to standard on the vcds so no point in posting a scan as it won't show anything. I need to see a standard menu with just the dip mirror selected .

I was browsing through some german forums today and came across this. It was listed under Q5 mods but I tried on my 2012 A6 and coding was accepted. Didn't had chance to test it yet. Anyone else done this or can confirm if this actually works.


Motorway mode takes advantage of the large amount of light and optimized lateral and apron lighting of the xenon plus pig launcher. About sensors, a vehicle electronics analyzed continuously the speed of the vehicle. After a short time above 110 km / h, the system is based on a highway driving and automatically switches from the low-beam mode in motorway light mode. Due to a special position of the aperture in the xenon headlights plus additional light is then focused by an aluminum reflector and far in front of the vehicle is thrown but without dazzling other road users. The sight is more than doubled: from 70m in low-beam mode to 150m motorway light mode. This increase in visibility means to respond to objects in front of the vehicle at a speed of 130 km / h has a gain of 2 seconds. so Motorway mode increases driving safety significantly.


The following coding applies:




Select Cent. Elec.- 09
Coding 07
From Drop down menu Select 2 - xxx - RLS (rain and light sensor)
byte 0
Bit 0 - motorway light - Activate

As far as I know it's standard feature within all VAG cars as long as they got rain and light sensor installed. Also I do not have high beam assist. I'm going to give this a try tonight. Will report later [emoji41][emoji41]

Unfortunately it didn't worked on my car, as my comfort module is a "basic" version against to the "highline" version. Therefore a lot's of tricks are not working on my car, as this module hasn't got the possibility to change several values.

A VCDS specialist told me, I can replace this module with a highline one, and these features will work for me, or there is a possibility to try to change the software on the current module, but he warned me, that if the update fails, the module will became a junk, as there is no way to retry the data transfer. This info allplies to both HBA and traffic signal recognition, and for several other minor features.

That's not a simple task. It's not a straight forward swap and everything works. Need to replace hundreds of stuff. Then you probably got component protection

NEW TRICK...!!!

Right after my dealer re flashed the car to STOP the engine from turning off when you got out having moved the car, I have compared a full code read before and after. The module that was changed is the central convenience and it is one small change.

I've gone and changed it back to the original value and sure enough, drive the car and get out and the engine stops, adjust it and it keeps running.

Right the code and changes are below:

If someone can confirm it works on their car that would be great. Car is a UK RHD.

It definitely works for me, all I need to do now it get stop start to default to off(but leave the button working) and get the radio to remember the screen position so I can stop it popping up all the time...!!!

Enjoy folks.

Hi,

I mention that I searched the thread for "unfold mirrors", but I've got no results, so this is my question, related to an A6 C7 4G 2012 2.0 TDI.
Is it possible to have a coding for the following purpose?
I want to have the side mirrors unfolded right after disarming the car, not when I press the "Start/Stop Engine" button.
I know that this is standard on some other VAG cars (like VW) and it's very useful in my oppinion.

Thank you!

Go to the LCode2 and disable all the bits in byte 15. Change it from 00001111 to 00000000. Save and exit.

Worked for me in my 62 plate C7 BiTDI. Let me know if it works for you.

Yes, it worked on my A6

i guess it needs RLS active, lights in auto but not in high beam?

I couldn't get it working. I have standard bi-xenon, HBA, RLS, lights in auto and both manually low beam and in HBA on but not activated due to street lights (speed 110-140 kph for quite sometime, maybe a minute.

Should it be with low beam and dark (i.e. no ambient ligth)? What about MMI setting "automatic dip"?

Should it be with low beam and dark (i.e. no ambient ligth)? What about MMI setting "automatic dip"?Yes you need to activate RLS. Also switch to auto. I tested on motorway so I'm guessing it works on in dark only. I may be wrong though

Anyone know how to disable by default the auto dimming mirror functionality via VCDS? Is it possible? Or at least remember previous setting?

Every time I sit in my car currently I have to manually turn it off via rear view mirror button.

Hi

never done anything with vcds/obd thingymagicy before.. i gather to enable needle sweep, dipped rear view mirrors on reverse etc i'll need to buy ross tech vcds lite software plus the expensive cable and a laptop (why did i ever think a tablet can replace a laptop or who uses cd nowadays so bought a mac instead of bog standard pc!!)
anyways, would you recommend for a newbie to purchase these things and a have a go at needle sweep/rear view dipping on reverse and other functions or is it one for an enthusiast with naturalistic programming tendencies :)

I would give obdeleven a shot. £40 for the module and any android tablet or phone.
Has same functionality as vcds but a lot cheaper. There’s also one button apps you can buy for it that makes it simple to code things if like me you are too scared to muck about in certain modules.

And you can collect 6 free points a day with Obdeleven for the apps. Most app changes use 10 points, so it's easy to do it without paying any more after a few days. You can even download obdeleven and start collecting points before buying the device.

Off the top of my head on my A7 I've done the lap timer enable, needle sweep, start/stop defaulted to off, start/stop indication reversed, boot close from remote. All with Apps, took about a minute to do all those with OBDeleven. An A6 would be different, but for my 2016 A7, I also have a VIM app, Mirror link in motion, Engineering menu, mirror dip and others. Obdeleven can also do the long coding stuff here's a list: [V5] ProBoards - Free Forums & Free Message Boards (http://obdeleven.proboards.com/thread/159/coding-adaptations?page=1) Would be worth a look on the forums too. Obdeleven can do all the fault scans and resets as well,

I bought my OBDeleven used for £15 and I managed to blag the pro version from someone on the obdeleven forums. Personally, I would never have paid the asking for VCDS - what is it now, £300 for a single licence?

:EDIT: Why don't you download obdeleven (android only) and enter your VIN, and you'll see what apps will work with your car. If you do decide to purchase you can start adding credits before you even obtain the dongle. I had about 200 credits before I even got mine second hand.

I found a little, but mentionable change in the rev4 MMI update:

In the former version you were not able to change the ringtone in the MMI, if you selected the "make the phone calls via bluetooth" option. Now you are able to change it, it's not grey anymore.

I am trying to adjust the auto full beam settings on my 2017 A6. Under adaptations none of the channels are listed on the drop down menu, so I have no idea which channels I should be adjusting. It seems on earlier model years its a straight forward task, but not so now. Any ideas? I'm looking to change the activation speed, and if possible have this set to on as default.

04-02-2018, 10:40 PM
I'm not sure if it depends on the FL/non FL issue. In my case the situation is all the same, but I was told, that in my case the problem is, that I have the regular comfort module, and to have these features, first I have to change or upgrade my comfort module to the "highline" version. Due to the price, and the possible damage during the SW update, I decided to drop these features :(

A6S
05-02-2018, 10:07 AM
I have tried changing the speed threshold for auto main beam on 2 fl and it doesn’t accept the adaptation. I can find it and change it from 60km/h to something else but it won’t save it.
Another thing is since my local council has changed the street lights to LED lights it confuses the hell out of the auto main beam. It switches on and off between lampposts. Think this is to do with led lights are more directional so there’s more of an obvious light and dark patch whereas the old orange lights had a general glow that the sensor picked up.

Justinos

I will need to have a look. It’s been ages since I tried.
To be honest vcds is falling behind a lot of other cheaper stuff out there like obd11 and vagcan pro. Half the label files don’t exist for newish cars, it almost feels like they can’t be bothered. It’s still a useful tool but I think it’s had it’s time now.

Definitely not recommend turning any safety warning messages off. It’s one of those things you forget about and then you end up running someone or something over.
Change the pads and sensor, that will turn it off. If it’s triggered the sensor then it will most likely need replaced also.

Hi,

Even if this was possible (which I don't think it is), it would be irresponsible and potentially dangerous to do. I'd be surprised if you find anyone willing to try. Imagine the liability implications if someone bypassed the warning and the car was subsequently involved in an accident that killed a person, because the brakes were dangerously worn. Anyone previously tampering with the brake safety warning would likely be held equally culpable.

Do the right thing and replace the pads if they are near the end of their life.

Cheers!

MF.

That’s quite a lot but the A6 is a 2 ton barge so things like brakes pads will wear quickly and most being automatic you are more likely to be riding the brakes in slow traffic.

Considering your mileage then twice a year for a pad change seems about on par.

If your pads are squealing, take them to Any garage and they can stop it.

If your warming light is on that early into their life, they have been fitted by an ape or you have a problem. Again, a garage can sort it if you can’t.

There is a way to bypass the warning light but as it’s a safety feature it would be insane to do so.

As soon as I active this option my Trunk Roller Blind (hope you know what I mean) does not open automatically (Normally it opens (goes up) as soon as my Trunk opens.

Just an interesting fact:

If your "braking guard" (ACC) stops the car with a false, or non false alarm twice during a driving course, then it will show up the annoying "These systems are not available" message and will turn off.

In this case you have to go to the next Audi service to check the system, because they call it as a feature, just to be sure, the system hasen't got any problem due to the emergency braking.

However if you feel, that it's a bug, then you can reset the error codes vith a VCDS, and the system will work again.

Not to sure about how to enable it. On mine it shows up but it’s still an average of short term fuel consumption and not instant.
Also anyone know how you get the speed limit sign up there?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190227/c691f8e9bf540f38c9554d97172ef778.jpg

for the consumption to show up like that, you need to be in the digital speedometer page and using the left scroll wheel, you'll get to it. however that is just the short term average. if you want instant. you need to be on the main display and scroll to consumption page. you ll there get both the average in digits and instant on the 0-max bar underneath. hope this helps.

also for the speed signs to show up, they show up if you have the lane assist i think and the acc, but i m not 100% sure, maybe someone can confirm. you do need to have the upgraded driver info system. of that i am sure.

Temporarily by pressing one of the scroll wheels on the steering wheel. Can’t remember which one side, but surprising how many people don’t know that.

Yeah, thanks... I knew that one... just hoping that there is perhaps a vcds setting that would silence it permanently

Hi guys,

I have A6 C7 2018, german edition.
I have parking sensors front and rear, 360 deg. I believe that's the most advanced parking system available for this car.

Is it possible to have front sensors always active? Currently, I have to remember to press the button to activate sensors and front camera. I would like for sensors to start beeping as soon as I get close to a wall or other car. Is that possible to achieve?

Thanx

As far as I know, yes, IMHO there is an option in the OBD to activate this option. However, please note, this is one of the most annoying things, as in this case the parking assistant and signal will also turn on in a traffic jam, and several unwanted cases. I don't recommend to turn the "feature" on. It's not so intelligent to recognise a wall or a parking situation.

I had that functionality on all my previous cars. From Citroen C4, to VW Passat. Almost never sensors started to beep in traffic jams. Always detecting obstacles very good. I refuse to believe Audi has lower quality system. In Croatia, we do not have huge rush hours, so I believe I'll be fine. The thing is, my local official dealer claims that this functionality is not possible with my car. I have official audi warranty till 2023, so I'm not sure about using OBD11, as I don't want to loose warranty over this :(

Previous owner was german pope, and there was an option to buy extended official warranty, which is covered in whole Europe. Apparently but only at the time of order of the new vehicle, very expensive option. I didn't even know about it until I bought the car and went to my deal for car inspection. Win for me! :)

Wow, never heard of it. You are a lucky one! :)

Anyway, IMHO the easy tricks doesn't interfere with the warranty, as these are common options which are enabled in several countries and denied in the other ones. Without a trick, you can't get this option, as it's not an MMI user selectable option.

If I do this with OBD11, and revert it back to original setting before going to dealer for inspection/service, will audi dealer be able to tell that i was "messing" with car options?

I think you will be OK... These settings and codings are "safe" so as long as you note down the original binary codings you can change them back at any time.

I also think this is a useful setting... I have the "standard" front/back sensors on my "C7.5" A6 and I drove a friend's Vauxhall and that one turned on its front sensors automatically at speeds below a certain limit like 10km/h or so..

The one thing I am unsure about is, in the A6 (at least in mine with standard sline sensors) the display is common and shared with navigation/entertainment, when the sensors activate, the display then changes to prioritise the sensors.. So I am assuming if you want your (front) sensors to always be active then the shared common display will always show the sensors?

Unless there is a setting to automatically activate the sensors below a certain speed... That would be slightly better I think...

I have the VCDS tool... I've done some changes to my settings... But I can't say I've seen anything that would enable the sensors automatically...

I'm becoming hard of hearing and the indicator repeat on my Avant is barely audible. This can cause problems as indicator often remains undefeated. Can any control be exercised over loudness of repeat audio?

Many thanks.

Yes, just get a hearing aid. You'll hear indicators and all other important audible traffic events outside the car better. Get a cheap non prescription one, just use for driving.

thanks kev


Really great thread! Many thanks to all contributors, I've done loads of VCDS tweaks on my former A4 B8 and now on my current A6 C7 (facelift)

I dont suppose anyone knows of a way to disable the warning beeps when you open the drivers door while the engine/ignition is on?

No to the VCDS but if you press in either the left or right scroll button on the steering wheel, can't remember which, it stops the beep albeit temporarily while the door is open.

The following isn't working for my A6 2012/04, despite setting to 20km/h the camera turns off at 15km/h and turns on again at 10km/h.

24. Alter the switch-off speed of the Audi parking System[Select]
[10 - Park/Steer Assist]
[Adaptation - 10]
Select Channel 23 and Read
Change the value from 10 to 20 (Max speed in Km/h - 20 is the highest you can set it to)
Press Test then press Save

Maybe there's another setting somewhere?

Hallo Freunde, ich habe eine Frage zum A6 C7 4G LED-Matrix für LED-Tagfahrlicht, das Standlicht ist mit dem Tagfahrlicht auch an, aber die Navigation ist im Tagmodus.Reagiert es irgendwie von alleine oder sollte nur das LED-Tagfahrlicht tagsüber an?. Danke für den Ratschlag

Hi,

Looks like the current value in Channel 63 is 7? Have you tried adding 4 to it - making it 11?

I never tried this on my car - I had a 2012 A6 at the time, so I can't say for sure it works. Have you already enabled the Beep on Lock function?

Cheers!

7 is not the original value. I have already tried a few values but does not work.
I also tried the lock option but doesnt work ....

Are you sure the alarm siren is working? This is what provides the chirps - if it's faulty, you won't get the beep on lock or the two beeps on unlock.

Cheers!

The Beep on Lock function uses long coding, not adaptation values. If Beep on Lock isn't working, I'd look carefully at your alarm siren.

Can you manually trigger an alarm? If so, do you get any sound, or just the indicators flashing?

Cheers!

Hi all, I just took delivery of my 2017 A6 Allroad. I tried the search function and didn't find what I was looking for. Is it possible to change the increment of the cruise control? I have seen in other forums that it can be done with other audi's with ACC, but I wasn't able to follow the same procedure for my car.

Has anybody managed to get the lap time function working on facelift 2.0 TDI ultra? I've tried using both long coding and adaption and in both cases I get an error 31 out of range message. Is there a way to enable it so I can see oil temp, or is it a limitation of this model?
Thanks :-)

If you're trying to get the hidden menu on the facelift A6 (2015+) it's not going to work. Unless things have changed in the last couple of weeks, it's not possible to enable the menu on the FL as of yet
Mine currently behaves the same as yours having enabled background lighting

Is it possible to enable the hidden menu on my facelift A6, when I change channel 6 to "1" and save. It always reverts back to "0" when I check it again. Is there another way to do it??
TIA :-)

As I mentioned in my response to your post on Audiworld, I believe that to activate the lap timer etc you need the colour DIS and as you only have the RMC MMI system you will have the monochrome DIS

Hello,

I have an A6 C7.5 Allroad 2016 and I m trying to change the High beam assist threshold, while working out with OBD11 team they told me my facelift doesn't have the control unit 20, does anybody know how can I modify this on my car? I have a VAG COM and OBD11 so any of them will do.

Thanks a lot!
