Darn it! I asked my service guy to make the needle sweep and DRL not wink, he asked his service manager, and the response was, "What is all this stuff? What is Vag-Com? We only have the manufacturer's tools."

@markcincinnati - Do you know if Audi Connection will do the VAG-COM mods, or are they a pretty "by-the-book" shop?

That sucks, it is called VCDS now but that shouldn't matter. I guess your service manager isn't as savvy as mine. Do you have another dealer option? They can access any and all menus if they take the time to figure out how. I guess some dealers service depts are more into getting to know the ins and outs of the cars they work on then others. Keep trying, he may just be "acting" stupid! Also, I know of an independent audi mechanic in my town who can also service the B8 and said he can also modify things in I ever take it in to his shop.

. . .make mods to your car, IF THEY CAN.

They were unable to turn on the needle sweep and turn off the winking LED's -- unable, with their equipment, NOT unwilling.

If someone were to take their cable and their device to them, I am certain they would oblige -- if a bunch of us went in at once, they might charge us, but I, for one, would be happy to pay to have the changes I want taken care of.

I've turned off the winking on my car. When I get a few minutes maybe I'll try a few more of these mods.

I agree, these (and a couple other items) are things I'd be willing to pay for them to change, provided it was a reasonable cost. They seem like nice people thus far, so I'm sure they wouldn't gouge me, especially if I brought them the equipment.

Of course, this is all speculation as I don't even have my car yet Thanks for your response, I appreciate you letting me pick your brain.

Be aware that if the dealer does a future software upgrade on your MMI there could be a good chance that many or all of the mods will default to factory settings and they will have to be modified again. A good reason to invest in the VCDS cable.

I used the my vag cable to code many codes supplied through many forums. The one which has caused a problem for me which i cannot fix it seems is the Voice Control system.

I followed the Telephone (77), coding, and changed the value from 0010900 to 0010970.

I have a b8 with Navigation. it was weird that the original value was set to 0 which is OFF. Now the Voice Control system in teh MMI Sound Settings is inactive (i cant select it) and the voice button on the steering wheel is inactive as well (it says "Button inactive" when pressed).

I read somewhere that the car needs to restart a couple of times to activate but it has not. any answers?

I would suspect, and will verify with dealer, they can keep your existing settings as they update the obc or any other flashes. I just don't believe they will wipe out any customized changes w/o backing it up 1st then reapplying, especially if you ask them ahead of time...
