    8V VCDS Mods

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

    8V VCDS Mods

    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

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

    8V VCDS Mods

    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...

    8V VCDS Mods

    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...

    8V VCDS Mods

    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!

    MMI Green Menu?

    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!

    MMI Green Menu?

    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

    MMI Green Menu?

    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...

    MMI Green Menu?

    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.

    MMI Green Menu?

    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...

    MMI Green Menu?

    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...

    MMI Green Menu?

    I was under the impression that the out of range response often came up if a security code was needed? Maybe that's the problem? Just ordered a micro-can cable from Ross-Tech, and really wishing I could figure out the dev menu as well as enabling drive select (some say a hardware module is...

    MMI Green Menu?

    Really appreciate your answer and all the work you do! I have to say I am pretty disappointed in the lack of support that Ross-Tech is giving this model and in general lately. They seem to be stagnating. They're going to lose to a competitor like VCP at this rate.

    MMI Green Menu?

    So, apparently Vag Can Pro can enable the 'green' menu in the A3 8V. VCDS apparently cannot. Does anyone know why this is? It seems like we should be able to change the same codes in VCDS to achieve the same result. Is it a matter of not knowing the security code? These are the instructions...

    Has anyone attempted to enable Auto Hold in VCDS on this model?

    It's amazing how many people mix the two up. I'm really dying to enable this silly feature though. My old car had it, and I've grown very used to it (I'm usually driving in stop-and-go traffic with tons of red lights, so it's very useful).

    Has anyone attempted to enable Auto Hold in VCDS on this model?

    Some have said that Auto hold requires a module, and I know that Audi sells a kit to add it (not sure if they sell it in the US). I really doubt there is a module needed.... I just don't think anyone has figured out the coding yet. Hill hold comes standard in all the S-tronic US cars to my...
