My A5 Small improvements

[DarkyUK]

I’m probably inpatient and can’t wait for another hour till sunset haha but does the inside background lighting as Audi refers to only come on at night (as is expected) and all S Line trims have st minimum the white LED colours - I see them on in the drinks holders just not everywhere else


Btw - car is incredible! A5 Black, 190 2.0 TFSI (double separate exhausts at rear) S Line pack

As already mentioned go in the mmi and have a play, mine has the extended lighting so you can change the colours and I think it has more lights in the doors, when yo change it in the mmi it lights up even when light so you can see.

Tried to get this working since I got the car with no luck, but finally sorted it.

Nice job. It's a small mod but very handy!

Great, what's the coding Dave, I have that option in the min but it does nothing on mine

Module 36 byte 3 bit 1 out of my head. But it could also be the coding for the Passat/Octavia/Superb haha. Check it with your vcds.

Hi guys, car has been brill....

just one thing sister scraped the S Line plastic side skirts.... I guess I need a replacement, just wondered how much I can expect to pay for a left plastic side skirt from Audi? Assuming these require minimum labour I.e. just screwed on and off being plastic and thank god she didn’t get the paint.

Oh ******
I’m not sure how it’s fassend, wonder if it’s on poppers.
Will have a look at mine tomorrow.
Glad your enjoying your new toy.

 

[A12RNX]

if you are referring to the plastic blade it is double sided stick stick with metal prongs so far along that I pops onto, I removed mine with a trim tool and a heat gun on a very low heat.

 

[A12RNX]

side blade removal how to;

[mayweather15]

Excellent, so no biggie at all and should be dead easy to replace can’t cost much in grand scheme of things either I assume

Yes mate, let me pm you all the bits I ordered.

Would you mind sharing? I would love this on my s5. Do you have the wiring information too?

Hi,

I think Dave already put the wiring diagram on here, if not let me know and i'll post it.

The parts for me where:

1 x 8W2 959 518 D 6PS Trim for switch – soul (black)
1 x 8W0 959 770 5PR Memory switch for seat adjustment – soul (black)
1 x 8R0 973 605 Flat contact housing

That trim is for an S5 Sportback with extended lighting or exit assist. As we saw when we looked in ETKA for Dave's its different for Coupe.

Cheers, Andy

 

[Audidave69]

Just need to test it today and I’ll post the coding and guide tonight

 

[Audidave69]

Ok so Just to bring all the memory seat stuff together, as some of you know i`ve been trying to get easy entry seat working for a long time, I did the coding and yes it brings the option up in MMI but as most of you know it doesn`t work on most of our cars!

So after a lot of code surfing i found the part that make`s this work, but then thought why not add the button for full memory seats.

This was done using OBDeleven and my car is Audi A5 coupe, so there may be difference on sportback/A4

First I ordered 1 X Switch

(please note there is a mistake in this listing Left fits Audi A4 and A5 B9 Right hand side)

1 X Connector plug
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10P...5598.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.21ba2e0e6kd7q

Then you need the switch trim cover this depends on model trim and options ie side assist and so on

Wiring
pin 1 of connection plug to memory seat switch goes to pin 17 on control unit J386 mounted in drivers door
pin 2 of connection plug to memory seat switch goes to pin 15 on control unit J386
pin 3 of connection plug to memory seat switch goes to pin 19 on control unit J386
pin 4 ground, I used pin 1 of Drivers lock button brown wire This need`s to be spliced and soldered.
pin 5 depends on year of car, so it could be pin 1 or pin 4 on control unit J386 it will already have Blue/Brown wire, so again it needs splicing and soldering.

Coding
Seat control unit drivers side 36
Byte 2 bit 0-1 This is MMI part (This should now make easy entry work)
Long coding p_button_memory This is to turn on switch.
Long coding p_button_location change to internal This activates memory part of switch.
Long coding acoustic_feedback_if_stored This makes it Beep when you store each position.

Great job!

Was the coding that i gave already active in your car?

A3 8V Facelift Limousine

 

[Audidave69]

No it wasn’t active, but I found if I added Byte 2 bit 0-1 this made easy entry work and I wondered if it was the missing link, then I tried programming each of my two keys to different seat positions and hey presto it worked, as in each key stored its own seat position.
So I thought I may as well add the memory button.

Hmm

Nice done mate thnx. I will check this out and discuss it with collegues.

Do you have the easy entry option in the mmi?

A3 8V Facelift Limousine

 

[Audidave69]

All I had in drivers seat setting was automatic belt tensioner
Then I added coding for easy entry, this added option in MMI but it would not work.
Then added Byte 2 bit 0-1 this added store settings on remote controls key
This then made easy entry work.
But when I added memory seat switch, it needed the extra coding to work.
I now have extra options

And when I press set on memory button I get red led then press 1 or 2 it confirms with beep and I also get info on MMI

Ah of course. You coded the whole memory seats. When a car already has memory seat you only have to add the coding in 09. My mistake.

just wonder if its the same with the sports computer control unit 17 via the long coding byte 10> bit 2 to 1
gives you the G Meter but again it doesn`t work, maybe some coding missing

As far as i know its only possible with some engines like in the S/RS series.

oh o thats interesting, wish you hadn't told me that will have to start looking, maybe even start a thread of accessories if there are that many?

 

[Audidave69]

What pins are you using for connecting into the door module? The same that comes with the flat connector housing on AliExpress?

You get enough pins to connect to memory switch and door control unit, they are the same size pins.

A3 8V Facelift Limousine

I did see pic with Audi Q5 diesel but can’t find it.

how do you find the quality of the parts from aliexpress?

It looks identical to the rest of the switches, plastic colour is identical, the connector has Audi VW logo’s and part number stamped on it.
Would be interesting to compare OEM and aliexpress side by side.

 

[RJ-8V]

Thats possible. Om some A6 you also get the boost (although some not functioning)

No not really, it was on some TDI's thought the 2.0 tdi and 3.0tdi. Have only seen it on the A6 but those were the C6 FL and C7. But never tested it if it was really working.

For the newer/current models it is only for the S/RS.

I ordered right switch as it says q5 A4 A5 B9 but when it arrived it was switch for left, I contacted seller who said it was my mistake for ordering wrong side.
But after I looked into it the q5 has same switch but on A4/5 B9 same switch is fitted on opposite side, so we need left switch.
So had to reorder left switch.
Hope that makes sense.

Yeah. The left switch you linked is showing a crazy cost for postage I’ve messaged them to see what’s going on.

 

[Audidave69]

Yes I had to re order right but put note on to say send me left, he said it’s a mistake he can’t rectify something to do with postage weight.
He was very unhelpful and says it’s my fault but the switch he has is very cheap.
Found this pic Audi Q7 passenger door memory switch, this is drivers side on A5
