    Thank you all for your replies!
    There does appear to be some confusion over vehicle types :-)
    My data sheet & config doc both show 4A2 B7Y!
    The KUFATEC website does say the dongle is suitable for an Audi A6 4A
    I'll contact them to be certain, hopefully they can tell from my VIN

    When i emailed Kufatec the VIN number of my yet to be collected MY20 A6 Avant, they said the dongle would definitely work - provided the bonnet is kept open during the coding process. So bought the dongle and will try to enable traffic sign recognition next week. I'm 99% sure it will work but I'll report back either way

    Are updates via VCDS or via a KUFATEC dongle overwritten by a sw update or do they persist?

    Interested to see the results. I spoke to KUFATEC and they assured me that it would work, but I bottled buying it As not much information about it working.

    Hi mate


    Yep, the Kufatec dongle definitely works 100% on the C8 (did it this morning on my 2020 A6).


    This is how I did it:


    1) Open bonnet
    2) Switch on ignition (not engine) & wait for 30 sec.
    3) Plug dongle into OBD port
    4) Leave dongle plugged in until red LED on dongle stops flashing - takes about 1 minute.
    (NOTE: during coding the dashboard will display all sorts of warnings/error messages/gobbledy gook, DO NOT PANIC as its normal)
    5) Remove dongle, switch off ignition and close bonnet
    6) Lock car and wait at least 10 mins before starting car.
    7) Once you start driving, the car will permanently display a speed limit sign as soon as it picks up the first one.

    This is the one you need to buy:

    Fantastic! great stuff!

    So, simply coding?

    What over Mods can you do for the C8 & cost?

    Thanks

    Yep, the Traffic sign recognition is just a matter of coding via dongle. Believe it or not, Audi dealerships charge around £250-£300 notes for the same mod yet the same mod can be done for around half the cost if going through Kufatec.

    I'm also using the Carista dongle & iOS app to do mods (Android also available). This morning i enabled rear DRLs (Scandinavian style) on my A6 using Carista. Didn't bother with other mods. However have asked Carista for beta access (free) so that I can explore other unreleased mods - I want to enable audio chirping when locking/unlocking doors and also auto-enable parking brake when putting the car into 'P'.

    I should add Carista costs £9.99 for 1 week or around £30 per year. I chose the former.
