As well as changing settings for retrofits such as cruise control and RNS-E there are certain settings can be changed on 8Ps with VCDS alone.
There are far more options than I have highlighted here but most either have no use, would be detrimental or just seem to have no effect to the car.
Feel free to add more if you know them :thumbsup:
If you don't know what VCDS is then have a read of THIS.
