Unable to log into Engine to activate Crusie Control

Hi all,

I installed cruise on my A3 last year with no probs. I recently installed the hardware for a colleague, and upon trying to activate the cruise by loggin into the module with '11463' got the following error:

VCDS Login Invalid
'Login Code not Accepted by Controller'

I have tried searching the forums for answers but no luck. I got some google results about some modules not supporting this, and that people configured cruise using the long coding - but I cant find how you would do this.

Here are some VCDS extracts:

Any help appreciated

From my research the 1K0 953 549 AH does support it (I must admit that initially I didnt think it did). I have coded the steering wheel controller up for cruise, and the functionality has been tested using measuring values in VCDS.

My problem is activating cruise within the engine module - unless somehow i cant enable it in the engine module because the steering controller doesnt support it? I cant imagine the engine module is interrogating the steering controller, and preventing me enabling it as it knows the steering controller doesnt support it?

Thanks for the input.

Hi -

the SWC took the coding for cruise - saying coding 'accepted' - and when I look at 'measured values' in VCDS I can go to the group that includes cruise, and it registers the button presses etc.

Its the engine module I cant configure. I found an old thread on the VCDS section which mentions something about the normal '11463' method not working with some controllers?

Its a bit strange.
