Did that change actually work to display battery state of charge in the cluster? I would really like to have that.

Thanks so much for taking a look Alex. That setting seems to be exactly the last step that is missing (in order to make this work without installing the button. I wonder if there is some way to change the setting in VCDS despite it being missing. Guess not.... hmmm

Alex, any advice or potential help you might be able to provide here would be hugely appreciated: http://forums.ross-tech.com/showthread.php?4786-Audi-A3-8V-Auto-hold-(ABS-module)-Anyone-figure-this-out-yet/page4

That (unfortunately) makes perfect sense. Thanks for all your help as always.

Makes perfect sense. So then my next question would be -- how do I get deeper into it and look for the adaptation (I can try to translate the German!) that seems to be missing? I looked at admaps of other models that seem to have the same ABS module, and this is how similar it is: Other...

DJAlix, thank you for the security code for auto hold in the ABS module!! So I tried it, and the code works. I was able to change "AUTO HOLD functionality" to "active" I had expected an adaptation channel of "AUTO HOLD function state" which can be set to "last state" "always active" or "never...

Not sure what the threshold is, but yes it seems to be speed related, and it does wait until you get pretty close. Sound only, no graphic without hitting the button. I have a hunch for making the graphic pop-up... might be this: STG coding -> Select function 07 Select byte 2 Bit 0 - visual...

Here are a few changes I made with success that I don't think are documented here: Prevent doors from automatically unlocking when parking: 09 - Central Elec. (4)-Access control-automatisches Entriegeln Default: active Change to: not active (25)-Access control-Autounlock NAR Default: active...

I wonder if it is possible to obtain info through VCP that allows us to do anything new with VCDS? Like determining security codes! I'm still dying to get the security code for enabling Auto Hold in the ABS module!

I guess I'm just surprised one of these tools can't do everything that the others can. Guess I'm speaking too soon as I haven't even received the VCDS cable yet. Shame they can't share with one another!

I'm starting to feel like I should have bought this instead of the VCDS cable. It's actually cheaper since there is no tax charged to US, plus I imagine it could do all of the same coding VCDS could do... hmm

Hah, same here with Google Translate. I still have to wrap my head around VCDS and the risk of truly bricking my car VS just ******* it off and being able to revert back to previous settings. If I screw up a module I could probably just play dumb at the dealer to have them reflash it, but I'd...

As do I! Send any good resources you have my way. Shame I can't speak German, it seems they are ahead of us on this.

I will post adaptation map and car info when I get the cable. Interesting about changing the VCDS ID... leaves me with this question: once you've done that, is there a way to go back and set the ID in the module back to factory so the dealer cannot see you've been in there? Or does it keep a log...

DJAlix - thanks for the info! My ross-tech cable is in the mail, if there is anything I can test or send you from a 'virgin' unmodified US car let me know. kc1174 - I don't have a link for you, but I did some translation on one of the German forums and I can tell you what you get in the package...
