Residual heat enabled

If you read the site that I linked to you'll see the restriction seems to be whether you have AC in the bottom corner of the Car page on MMI.

If you do then it should be ok.

Indeed I do, thanks!

Anybody up in West Scotland with VCDS? Needle sweep, dipping reverse mirrors and now auxiliary heating, nice.

He's in Manchester...

Anybody know of anyone in Bristol who has the kit to do all these various "tweaks" that are mentioned on this fantastic forum?

I'll do Scotland and Bristol if the money's right

Name your price Scotty to come to Bristol and give my car all the party tricks (thanks for the response by the way)???!!!

[ScottyUK]

hehehe

it'd probably be cheaper going to your dealer as it's a 300 mile round trip for me and at the Inland Revenue's standard 40p/mile rate it's gonna be about £120 !

Also bear in mind when you go to the dealers there's always the risk of them resetting it (as they did on mine recently) so it may only be on there on a temporary basic.

I'm sure there's gotta be someone close to you. I just looked on what was the two databases of people that have it and help others. One says the data was all lost and try the other. I tried the other and it's just SQL errors

Fair enough. I'll probably just buy it myself and then recoup some of the outlay by "tweaking" others vehicles (assuming I do mine without inadvertantly programming it to explode as soon as I press the starter button!!!)

Good luck.

After 10 years and literally hundreds of cars the only things I've ever had are :

[1] a BigMac meal
[2] a four pack of beer
[3] a corporate rucksack

I bought mine as I had a modded TT and wanted to tweak and check it was running ok.

I sold that to some guys at the Nurburgring.

I bought another cable that was Twin K line for my B6 S4 as that was also modded and I wanted to tweak. That actually found an intermittent knock sensor which wouldn't have been discovered for another 15k miles at the service. When running nearly 400bhp I'd rather the knock sensor be working!

I then traded it against my current cable which is CAN and HEX so I can do the latest cars and the older ones.

Yep it's cost a lot but I wouldn't be without it. Perhaps I should charge £25 or so everytime but I never have and don't know any other owner who has either.

Will this work on an Se Exec? Y'all seem to have S-lines, quattros and whatnot. Anything for us mere plebs ?

Just done this one on my SE and it works !!. It seems you need to have the AC menu in the bottom right of MMI, and maybe the 3 zone climate.

Only problem, it does leave a stored fault code, it doesn't light up on the dash but it is there. Just wondering what the dealer will make of it.

[ScottyUK]

It's your car so you can do what you like to it

Unless you have a fault which they have reasonable grounds to say you caused then it won't impact anything.

Oh and when they plug it up on a service you'll probably lose the settings and have to redo it anyway

Cool, I was just a bit concerned as I didn't know where I'd stand with regards the warranty, it's going in next week for fuel flap, battery, gearbox & clutch problems. I planned to take off all the VCDS mods before that but not clear all the fault codes.
I just didn't want to give them the excuse to say I've voided the warranty.
