A6 C7 VCDS Tricks

[Audrius]

Thanks indeed!!

another question: is it possible to retrofit original remote heating to make it work as from factory would? Somehow I didn't ordered aka "webasto" to be fitted in factory, though I now I would definetaly like to have it. Audi dealer offers only aftermarket webasto. But maybe it is possible to install oem heating items and make settings enable all the needed controls, remote control acception and etc...?

talking about diesel engine..

If anyone ever finds out, I'm looking for the MMI changes needed via VCDS to make the DVD player in 3G+ goto region free (REGION 0)
Normally they are locked to region 2 in the UK & AUDI dealers can change it up to 5 times but region free means you can play any region DVD (I have a boat load from region 1 - USA).


Thanks

Install aftermarket Eberspächer, it is better brand and has better remote control (more features like adjusting heating time on the fly, cabin temp display, heater error codes etc). Then you only lack automatic supplementary heating while driving which should not be used due to that it smokes the burner too much. I rarely use MMI for heater. You just have to make tricks (dealer should know) to not let the CAN sleep for cabin heating.

Hi guys I'm totally new to the forum. I have an A6 C7 s line
Just wondering if there are any UK members in the Essex/London/Hertfordshire area that is experienced with VCDS and can be kind enough to help activate a few if these tricks??

As I'm new I can't PM at the moment but if there are any helpful volunteers then I'd so appreciate it!

Hi Guys new to the forum and returning to the Audi fold.

Hope someone can help i am due to pick up my RS6 today and asked the dealership to activate the blip on arming the alarm and the the close the tailgate from remote control but they have told me they cant and that if i did it would invalidate my warranty I cant believe that for a minute, and what are they going to invalidate... then horn?!?!?

Anyway im hoping that someone in the Woking/Guildford area might be able to help!

PS thanks for the great thread

it won't invalidate your warranty, they just aren't allowed to do it.

enjoy the car.

Hi. I'm new to the forum and have previously had an A5 then a Q5. I have done VCDS mods on both if them including the 'full brightness DRLs with parking lights' mod. However I can't seem to get the same mod going on my new A6 C7. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

Can anyone confirm if the passenger mirror dip in reverse feature is possible if you don't have folding door mirrors or any memory seats etc. just the standard mirrors. I've read both that you can and can't get this to work? Thanks

[daycartes]

Yes it is possible, I have done it. I do not have folding door mirrors nor memory seats
