Residual heat enabled

[ScottyUK]

I've noticed a few comments from ex-BMW owners saying that they miss the residual heat feature in their A4's. I was aware of a VCDS tweak that enables the fan to run on after ignition off but these posts prompted me to try it out and see if it works with blowing residual heat. It does

Once enabled on your car, you simply tell it via MMI how long you want the fans to run for. You can set the fan speed and which vents it blows from. So far I've only tried it by running the car for 5 mins on my drive, turning off and seeing if it worked. It blew warm air for a about 3 minutes. I'm sure with a properly warm car it would blow for much longer.

Anyway the details are all here : http://www.audienthusiasts.com/VagCom_AuxVent.html

If you do this and like it, let me know and I'll pass this back to the owner of that site as I speak to him on another forum.

I hope you find this useful.

p.s. Of course this will be quite useful in summer for blowing air through the car to keep it cool after you've parked up. You can even enable different times to freshen up your car ready for you to leave work etc.

Excellent, well done.

Anyone near Milton Keynes with a VCDS

Make your way over to Harlow (a nice drive via the A507/Baldock) and I'll do it for you

That is absolutely brilliant! Is there anyone with a VCDS in the Greater Manchester / Cheshire area?

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

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.
