I have a couple of questions...
On the colour display in between the speedo and tacho how do I set the Nav option to default, every time I get in the car I have to scroll over to nav?
I have activated and put a giffgaff sim in but the car is asking every start up for me to authorise data usage, can I default this?
I'd like to code the start stop to remember the last position, is this available through Carly or will I need VCDS, and if VCDS where is the best place for a USB lead?
Lastly the MMI shows 3 keys coded to the car, I understand one is the plastic one, which I don't have, can I code this out myself for obvious reasons?
Thanks in advance and a quick photo of the offending beast...
Great choice of car. I can't see the photo though, but I am at work.
I don't think you can set the nav as default. Someone else may prove me wrong, but on mine it always starts up on the LH menu
There is a setting in the Connection area to Never Ask regarding the data
You can use VCDS to do this. Or buy OBDEleven (no leads required - all done over bluetooth). There is a dedicated app for OBDeleven for this specific task, also to swap the light indication for the start/stop button. Download the OBDeleven app now (free on android only) and start adding credits - you can get 6 free a day. So when you gat the dongle you have planty of credit to make changes. It can do lots of other coding things too and other apps: for example needle sweep.
Audi will have to sort out the keys. My car only came with 2 keys too and I got Audi to change from 3 to 2.
