Q7 (4M) Coding

[anemeth]

Andy,

Thanks for your post on coding. I set up DLR in MMI, High Beam Assist, Lock on Engine Running and switched off Start/Stop.

Only this I could not do is Chirp on Lock/Unlock. I went though Module 46 and I could not find "sounder_setting_beeptime_closing_central_lock ing" in Adaptation and also could not find "Tone when Locking" for MMI in Coding. Maybe on my car these cannot be set as I do not have alarm installed, thus alarm sounder is missing as well. This is the only thing I can think of.

Thanks,

Hi mate

Correct, if you dont have the factory alarm you can't do this unfortunately

Hi ! good day to all.

New to this Forum and want to say thank you for sharing valued information.

Actually I have VCDS for a long time and used with many Audis and enjoyed making all these adaptations for a better performance of our cars ..lot of joy too.

Currently I do own a Q7 4M 2016 located in South America and it is coming without the Audi connect service , but all is in it. ( MMI) Just not activate de DATA connection for the SIM slot card.

Somehow I have managed to get into the adaptation channel ( 5F ) and made available the Audi Connect app , Audi Smart Phone interface ( non functional as it is coded and seen here) and other cool staff related to adaptation channel but till now can not make the SIM card to be activated - it is greyed out in the MMI screen

Of course I subscribed My Audi page and have all the codes legal as a formal user but still not able the SIM to connect the network ( it does fully work on an iPhone)

Anyone has any info about 5F Long coding helper related to the SIM activation or network availability ? VCDS
I do appreciate any help as well any info you may need from my side I am willing to help ( my product here in South America perhaps is different coded and with different equipment attached to it for the different market but many options also are coded for this market )

Thanks a lot - cheers.

Hi from New Zealand.

I love reading what you guys get up to! I have a RossTech HEX + Can USB cable & the latest VCDS update 17.1.3.0.

I have just taken ownership of a UK SQ7, this is new & was shipped to NZ. I was advised that the dealer (Non Audi) would be able to get the New Zealand Maps working & they have to some extent. I have however discovered a few problems with this import process.

1) Although the Maps are visible in the central display & the HUD, the Map display is blank on the "Virtual Cockpit" (I can see the area designated for this but it is blank), the dealer is working on this.
2) The car has four Cameras but these fail to display any video on central screen - the reversing lines are there & adjust to the steering wheel rotation. Can anyone help?
3) The option to recognise speed signs says "Not available in this country" - Well the NZ based SQ7 that I test drove, certainly had it working (wish I had interrogated it & saved the scan ;-)) - I suspect that the NZ codes are based on Australia & this car has likely been coded to "Rest of the world" BUT I cant make head nor tail of the codes as the RosTech software is missing the helper files & RossTech say they May post these sometime.

Why bye an imported SQ7 - Simple - Cost - For the cost of a NZ Basic SQ7 ex Demo - I was able to get a number of extra options (Performance Package, Rear Entertainment package, Panorama roof, etc) worth about NZ$25k & I was offered NZ$10K more for my old Q7 as trade-in.

I have attached the scan result

Any help or suggestions much appreciated!

I have also purchased the VIN specific Vehicle maintenance Manual - this oddly does not seem to offer any advise on coding.

Previous experience... Retrofitted & coded MF steering wheel & CC to 2005 Audi A4, Retrofitted & coded CC to 2000 VW Passat, Retrofitted & coded CC to 2012 A1.

Hi mate.

I'll try to get back to you on these bits but regarding TSR your correct, it's locked to country specific which is why your imported sq7 isn't displaying traffic signs. It's all more than just basic coding we believe (been working on it for a guy in Oz). It's all about the loaded 'dataset' and then coding on top... Hard nut to crack but a dealer should be able to do it in my opinion.

Well you are an absolute genius! Thank you for helping diagnose the issue. The coding specialist is now sending the correct MMI unit down after he had "inadvertently" sent the wrong one down.

Great Job THANK YOU!

No worries. Glad we figured out what was going on. Let's hope it all gets sorted now ASAP so you can fully enjoy the car!

FAO andyhud007 and anyone else who may be able to help,

is it possible to reverse the behaviour of the main MMI rotary control on an A6 (model year 2012) ?

ie the rotary controller works in the reverse way to what is logical when I want to scroll a list or zoom the map!

many thx

Guys here's one I want to check with you. Had a random look today on OBD Apps menu and saw this (sorry about poor picture)



Now I haven't tried this but assume this is possible as is with Adv Key? If so is the coding for us folk without Adv Key?

Any ideas?

(It is an app under the Q7 Apps menu even though the A7 is pictured...could be an error and so don't want to try if it messes something up?)

OBD11 update now available. Hopefully it will fix a few bugs that people have had.

Had a quick look at may be a couple of more Apps (see below), but overall the interface seems to be a fair bit better.
