Does the car have drive select?How I can activate the Driver Select menu in my A3 2.0 TDI 2014 ?
Sorry..... am I missing something?
You want to know how to select Audi Drive Select even though you don’t have it?
Isn’t that like me wanting to know how to activate my electric sunroof even though I don’t have a sunroof?
Maybe I haven’t fully understood exactly what you are asking.
One sunroof retrofitSome things can be enabled only by coding. Sunroof is not one of them. I think the question is fair as others might want to know how this is possible. DJAlix gave a good response.
Not sure if anyone can give you a good response on your sunroof request.
You won't be able to get it without the kit. It requires SWOP software to be downloaded to the car. The activation number is also, I believe, generated using your VIN number.I don't want the button, I just want the option to select diferent driving profile.
Still gonna need the retrofit kit as you cannot buy the software version management (SVM) and feature licence codes without it. Up to you if you install the new button panel or not.I don't want the button, I just want the option to select diferent driving profile.
Now is clear, thank you guys !You won't be able to get it without the kit. It requires SWOP software to be downloaded to the car. The activation number is also, I believe, generated using your VIN number.

A genuine activation cannot be completed without an unused activation document (x3 codes). The "coder" you have found will be hacking your vehicles CAN Gateway in order to complete these works.I have to refresh
I retrofitted ADS in my A3 8V (intstalled & connected button, enabled ADS in CAR menu) last thing to do is coding. Everything was done by myself (soldering, installing, coding in VCDS).
I don't have activation document. So I have found dude who disable CP and do other works, I think he have chinese odis or something else because he have low prices for services.
My question is, does any dude with odis or something similiar can enable - code an ADS in my car even if i don't have activation document?
How it can be done? I also installed airbag off switch and can't coding it with VCDS too. It should be enabled with an odis too?
Hope someone will answer, Regards, Jack

Lol no, no guide... and if he does not know what he is doing he can screw up your vehicle. Not sure why you did not buy an official drive select retrofit kit.Thanks @DJAlix for reply, i always can count on You
So it's possible without a activation. Great news. Hope that "coder" have knlowledge how to hack CAN gateway. There is any guide how to do this, for possibility if he don't have a knowledge?
I checked on audi poland website and this product is not available anymore. And I have installed some things and hacked MMI unit in my car so I have fears to go to audi service to enable ADS. My friend told me that he was in Audi for enabling ADS (couple of years ago he paid for that 400euro) and service can't do nothing, they have to reset all functions back to stock, because he had many things enabled in VCDS. After that service was able to enable ADS.Lol no, no guide... and if he does not know what he is doing he can screw up your vehicle.

Ah, well you have no option but to have hacked options moving forward then. Thats correct, due to having items in your vehicle that are not meant to be there any official SVM procedure will fail.I checked on audi poland website and this product is not available anymore.

Truly i don't want to pay so much money for enabling one thing - it's not worth that money.
I'm asking about guide because in my neighbourhood this "coder" is closest to me, and when im asking him for enabling ADS he didn't really know about what i'm asking
Next dude with odis is far, around 300km from me.
BTW. how about coding airbag switch (from glovebox), VCDS says its a SVM thing. I don't found any retrofit package or activation code. How to code it?
