Audi A4 B8 - VAG.com Tricks

[aquickone]

Hi,
Have read through this thread, is it possible to enable TPMS on a brand new TDIe coming late March? Would be great if it can. Also are there any VCDS members in Somerset or Dorset?
Cheers.

Depends on what ABS module it has fitted :

From "A6retrofit" :

Enabling tyre pressure monitoring: Since this step includes coding the ABS Brakes module and functionality has not been fully confirmed (although it does seem to work for many), I would recommend caution, but I will mention this as an interesting story. Poster "rlarsen" reports, of Audi A4 B8 (A5 is a close relative), at audiforum.us (TPMS just programming?, http://audiforum.us/b8-platform/1207...ramming-3.html) that tyre pressuring monitoring seems to be enableable via VAG-COM, for certain ABS module revisions at least. If your ABS module rejects this coding, it might not support TPMS. Apparently 1AT ABS module may be required, 1AS may not work (see part number label in service book). Whether or not this is all there is to this, I recommend following-up on the thread above before doing anything, but again - interesting story and potential there. Note: All this applies to the indirect, ABS sensor based TPMS. Direct TPMS with wheel sensors in some markets is different.

First enable CAR menu tyre pressure entry from the MMI hidden menu (see above for how to access the MMI hidden menu in MMI 2G or 3G) or, if your car has an Audi Chorus/Concert/Symphony radio without hidden menu, check for/enable the tyre pressure checkbox in VAG-COM/VCDS coding for module 56 - Radio. Then in module 03 - ABS Brakes, go to Security Access - 16 (popup in VAG-COM/VCDS should show the security code needed), Coding - 07 and bit 3 in byte 1 set to 1. Then in module 17 - Instruments, go to Coding - 07 and bit 0 in byte 4 set to 1. Afterwards power off, wait some time, reset MMI and clear any error codes. You may encounter an initial error and need to reset error codes twice after storing TPMS values via the CAR menu (see your Audi manual on how to operate the tyre pressure monitoring system). To reset MMI, see: How to reset MMI (http://a6retrofit.tripod.com/articles/resetmmi.html).

Note about radio Chorus/Concert/Symphony: To see how this is done on A4/A5/Q5 cars with radio instead of MMI, see here: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...=278256&page=7.

Note about MMI 3G: Enabling TPMS in the CAR menu is a bit different for MMI 3G than in MMI 2G, see this link: http://audiforum.us/b8-platform/1207...amming-10.html. Apparently you set tires air pressure control to 5 in the MMI 3G hidden menu (see beginning of article on how to access/enable hidden menu) in main/car/carmenuoperation. The link also suggests to enable RDK in main/car/cardevicelist in the hidden menu, but end-result is unconfirmed.

If you PM me your email address I can send you a guide which shows exactly how to do it.

I would be very grateful if you furnish me with your guide Plife.
I really want to give TPMS ago as well as others.

I think Suffolk is a member VAGCOM free zone, but I think there is an independent in town who may help.

Hi,

There may be a forum member close to you in the Nottingham area with a copy of VAG-COM that would be willing to do the other mods for you in exchange for a pint or two. It's worth asking, I reckon. Take a look here.

Good luck!

MF.

Fantastic Thank You id have never known this section existed

I reckon a pint or three could be arranged

Thanks Again

Hi everybody, my 2009 A4 b8 avant has halogen drl of a weird yellowish colur, and I´d like to change them for the high beam lights but working as DRL intensity. Right now, this is my coding:[/IMG]
I´ve tried the option "DRL via front side markers" and the high beams work a drl, but sadly at full intensity...Is there a way to change this and lower the light output? Thanx for reading...
