I would repost in the correct forum but this is exactly the perfect example of why NOT to go and get your own cable, etc. Don't get me wrong, I was all freakin out thinking, I'm tech savvy and I love to tweet things but for some reason after researching how many things I can actually mod on the car and that dealer would do majority of them for me for free upon request, take a guess... I hate to see these posts because he's going to have to pay $$$ or what every denomination it is to have the problem corrected...


Change it back and so forth. If this is hex code, you going from 0 to 7 does not necessarily turn something on or off ( 1 or 0 )....

I lost my key fob window up/down setting after my first service.

Sorry to bring up an old post, but what other interesting or cool changes can be made with the vag cable?

speedybrit

And by that i meant is there any new settings that havent been stated on this thread already?

p.s. is there a way to edit your posts?

Well being bored and not able to sleep did a little searching around and found this website with a whole bunch of different things that can be cahnged. Hope it helps others.

Anyone who has owned an Audi/VW long enough to be outside the warranty period will tell you how valuable the VCDS (Vag-Com) is. If you don't know what you're changing in there, don't mess with it in the first place. Uwe Ross and his people spend a lot of time developing the software each year, and it's come a long way since inception. It's now an intuitive diagnostic tool, with quite a few safety measures in place. You actually have to try fairly hard to mess up coding in a particular module. Many of us have been using Ross's systems for some time now, and a VCDS can be the most valuable tool in your box. Believe me, you'll want one or at least access to one on a regular basis, especially if you bolt on some go-fast goodies.

Don't think this one was mentioned yet, found it over in a thread on Audizine.com:

Seat Memory (assigns specific memory settings to key fobs)? First try MMI menus/manual!

Click Tab: “Electronics 1”
Click Module 36: “Seat Mem Drvr”
Click Submodule 0 – “Master Cent Elec Box”
Change byte 3 – bit 7 (el cuarto desde la izquierda) Click “Do it!”
Or…
Click Module 36: “Seat Mem Drvr”(J136), O7
Change Byte 2 bit number 0, to value 1 (checked)

Or, taken from the http://a6retrofit.tripod.com/articles/a5vagcodes.html link mentioned previously here:

Enabling key memory in cars with electric, non-memory seats:
Thanks to C99 for this tip. Go to module 36 Seat Mem. Drvr (J136), O7, Coding, change Byte 2 bit number 0, to value 1 (checked). You should now see Key memory on/off in the MMI settings for driver's seat. Link: http://www.a5oc.com/forums/showthrea...ex.html?t=3608 (Memory of seats in the key in car with just electrical seats). Ross-Tech also recently updated their A5 VAG-COM codings to include a vast amount of instrument cluster codings, see the updated list for things like enabling/disabling washer fluid warning (http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/...rument_Cluster).

Haven't tried it yet, so don't know if it works properly. Just mentioning the tweak.

I believe this is limited to 2009 A4 only. I have yet to see any confirmation of Seat Memory working on 2010.

I have made just about all the mods I could find. My thoughts on the most useful mods:

Adjusted the trip computer. Using 109 adjustment now they are pretty much spot on. Along with the oil temp/lap timer display will be really useful when trying to evaluate synthetic oils.

Disabled the DVD player lockout. Never thought it would be a lifesaver until my wife and I got stuck on freeway due to roadwork/wrecks.

Changed the default ADS mode to Dynamic when the car is started. My wife actually requested it. I love it, but we'll see how long it lasts.

Next planned mod is to change the default language to spanish. My wife took classes but she needs some more practice.

I would be interested in changing the mix of settings in the default "Auto" position to:
Engine: Dynamic
Dynamic Steering: Auto
Suspension: Auto
Do you know if that is a possible tweak?

(I have the "Individual" memory available, so I use that now but I would like to have the Individual setting free for the specific times when I want also to soften the suspension, plus that I would like it to default to my standard settings above.)
