Can your ex tech not look up the TPI number Jamie?
Audi dealership may also do it under warranty.
Found this on another forum for upgrade bcm 615:
TPI 2029738 (SVM code 09A008)
Right. Confusion abounds.
I have a MY2011 car, 60 reg, with the CE 0615 controller. The one that is allegedly giving lots of confusion.
As lala30 suggests, the latest version of VCDS gives that elusive Bit7 in Byte 17, so the first step for anyone wishing to do this is to download the latest version of VCDS.
My CE 0615 seems to have taken the new coding, so, in theory, will not give me a DIS error when I install the A5 LED lamps! Unfortunately, although I've made the change in my CE controller, I don't have any LED lamps to hand to test!! So unless someone else with lamps, and with a CE 0615 want to test this, you'll have to wait till I get some LEDs later in the week!
But here's a screenshot of the latest VCDS version, with the CE 0615, which seems to have accepted the new Byte 17 Bit 7 coding.
Ciao!
I can try this out on mine in the morning - I have the LEDs sitting on my desk and only realised I had the 0615 module after a VCDS check. Just installed the latest VCD release.
Is that to upgrade to BMC 615. & I think the smv code could be the trick I think from what I can make out its a code to access the control module I think.
That is to upgrade from BCM 615, there is another code and TPI to upgrade to BCM 615.
If you google either the TPI or SVM codes, there is loads of info on the German forums, all 2011+ cars can be upgraded quite easily now.
thanks i'll have a look.you can get them from audi parts dealer or ebay i saw few sets for sale when i was searching stuff...
Thanks scotty, i'll call them in the morning and ask, i'd rather get original stuff if possible
Hello I have tried to get the genuine lights working on a 2010 a3 and am still getting error messages after changing bite 17 bit 7 any ideas
Hey guys
Picked my a5 led lights up from Audi yesterday. Fitted them and got the warning light. Spoke to a mate of minemandnhenpassed me on a boys number. Met him and he got the warning light off! Cost me £20 though but least it done and dusted!
Looks amazing!
how old of a car fella? do you know what he did, what he used??
It would be far more useful to everyone if you said what was done rather than boasting about the fact that you had got it done !
Looking at what he wrote i dont think he was boasting Mike.
he just wanted to share he had the error taken off his new car.
Trups
it is a little annoying but also good to see people are getting the errors sorted. i have dis errors and trying to sort this out. so his info is helpfull that the guy who fixed his could possible have the answer most people want to know.
i dont think he was boasting just informing us he has got error free oringinal audi A3 plate lamps.
i intend to do so if the guy is ok with this, just waiting for nshort10 to get back to me. then i can get some info
