A6 C7 VCDS Tricks

**St3veM** · 31-07-2015,09:54 AM

Hi Folks,

Picked up my new facelift Black Edition earlier in the week and have been out with the laptop and VCDS. The one I don't seem to be able to get working is the one to automatically apply the handbrand when shifting into P (Automatic) - any ideas? The adaptation has been accepted and is showing as activated, but nothing happens.

Any ideas?

My fl does this out the factory without any coding.
You need to take the seatbelt off for it to apply handbrake fully

Doesn't work on mine...

So, handbrake does not apply even though I've set the correct values; does not apply when the engine has been turned off, nor does the engine turn off when you open the drivers side door.

My previous BE did this, so I know it's possible, just not sure why it's not

What type of transmission you have?

I know tiptronic won't work with that but stronic should work with this coding perfectly fine

It worked on my multitronic this has just replaced so not sure if it's a different coding for a new model / engine / Ecu combination.

I have tiptronic in my a8 12 reg and it doesn't work also I have seen comments in here that it doesn't work with tiptronic. So now I'm getting confused

Disable/memorize/invert Start & Stop:

- module 09-Cent. Elec.
- enter Security Code (20113)
- Adaptation on Channel 34:
subtract 4 to the value --> Start&Stop always disabled
add 32 to the value --> memorize last status (the Start & Stop status at engine startup will be the one at last engine shutdown)
- test & save

In addition of these values, if you add 64 to the value, the Start & Stop button light will be reversed: off if Start & Stop is disabled, and on if Start & Stop is enabled.

Found from several forums, original maybe audizine, also audipassion (FR) and a5oc. Tested "add 32" on my 2012 3.0 TDI car and it works. Original was 20.
