Anyone know how to disable by default the auto dimming mirror functionality via VCDS? Is it possible? Or at least remember previous setting?
Every time I sit in my car currently I have to manually turn it off via rear view mirror button.
Hi
never done anything with vcds/obd thingymagicy before.. i gather to enable needle sweep, dipped rear view mirrors on reverse etc i'll need to buy ross tech vcds lite software plus the expensive cable and a laptop (why did i ever think a tablet can replace a laptop or who uses cd nowadays so bought a mac instead of bog standard pc!!)
anyways, would you recommend for a newbie to purchase these things and a have a go at needle sweep/rear view dipping on reverse and other functions or is it one for an enthusiast with naturalistic programming tendencies :)
regards
I would give obdeleven a shot. £40 for the module and any android tablet or phone.
Has same functionality as vcds but a lot cheaper. There’s also one button apps you can buy for it that makes it simple to code things if like me you are too scared to muck about in certain modules.
And you can collect 6 free points a day with Obdeleven for the apps. Most app changes use 10 points, so it's easy to do it without paying any more after a few days. You can even download obdeleven and start collecting points before buying the device.Quote:

@diecastsink, @Bosnian.. what sort of things were you able to do with it, if any?
oh, i'm googling it now as well but would like to hear some personal xp stories too :)
i'll try that thanks :) although wouldnt mind mucking around with it myself if i knew the initial outlay was worth it and i wont have to dedicate hours on end to learn it...
Off the top of my head on my A7 I've done the lap timer enable, needle sweep, start/stop defaulted to off, start/stop indication reversed, boot close from remote. All with Apps, took about a minute to do all those with OBDeleven. An A6 would be different, but for my 2016 A7, I also have a VIM app, Mirror link in motion, Engineering menu, mirror dip and others. Obdeleven can also do the long coding stuff here's a list: [V5] ProBoards - Free Forums & Free Message Boards Would be worth a look on the forums too. Obdeleven can do all the fault scans and resets as well,Quote:

:EDIT: Why don't you download obdeleven (android only) and enter your VIN, and you'll see what apps will work with your car. If you do decide to purchase you can start adding credits before you even obtain the dongle. I had about 200 credits before I even got mine second hand.
Only using original VCDS. Spending +200 more when buying 60k car is the least expensive cost over years...
