Is there a recommended "go-to" thread to scope out the known VCDC code options on the 2016 A6/C7? I've only spotted threads outlining specific mods.

Funny you should mention....I just got my 2016 C7 yesterday and have started reapplying the codes to it. As of now, I have only implemented a few, I will create a post on it and update that as I go through them.

As of now:
Enabled from Audi
-----------------------------
Comfort Access Windows

==
Applied & Verified
-----------------------------
Gauge Test/Needle Sweep
Front Amber Delete - Disable amber corner lights
Single Gear Display
Enable power trunk to close from key fob

==
Applied but not verified
-----------------------------
Enable Adaptive brake lights
Enable Lap Timer

==
Not working:
-------------------------------
Video In Motion - Security code not working - investigation needed

==
Not attempted
------------------------------
Disable NAV & Phone warning messages while entering data at speed
Disable Seatbelt Chime
Enable Adaptive brake lights
Enable Automatic Gear selection shown in DIS
Enable Double Disarm Beep
Enable Hidden menu in MMI
Enable Import CDs to MMI's HD
Enable Independent Fogs control with high beams
Enable TPMS
Set Audi parking system - Switch OFF Speed
Adjust LED Brightness
Beep on lock
Adjust bluetooth microphone sensitivity
Enable Auxiliary ventilation
Enable Drivers Memory Seat
Increase radio play time after car is turned off
Enable coming home/leaving home function DRL
Tail lights on with front DRLs
Change the Adaptive Cruise Control Preset distance

These work:
Enable Adaptive brake lights
Enable Automatic Gear selection shown in DIS
Enable Double Disarm Beep
Adjust LED Brightness
Enable coming home/leaving home as DRL
Tail lights on with front DRLs

These may not be required for 2016:
Enable Import CDs to MMI's HD (haven't tried this but thought owners manual said this was possible)
Enable Independent Fogs control with high beams (we don't have fogs, coding doesn't correspond to our corning lights. Front all weather lights go off with hi-beams but rear all weather lights stay on with hi-beams from the factory)
Enable TPMS (already in the MMI, altho it doesn't show the PSI or any other data)
Beep on lock (already beeps on lock)
Enable Drivers Memory Seat (both driver and passenger already have memory functions)
Change the Adaptive Cruise Control Preset distance (you can set distance via stalk and it is stored in your key fob for next use)

Other Misc that works:
Turn off rear side markers
Euro parking lights
LEDs full brightness when using parking lights
Changing time interval for heated seats
Changing massage intensity and duration for comfort seats
Changing how long coming home/leaving home lights (or DRLs) stay on
Adding your assisted steering menu to MMI and ALA intervention
Adding ACC distance menu to MMI (versus using stalk to set it)

Most notable that doesn't work:
Anything dealing with fog lights (VCDS doesn't have the Cent Elect module fully decoded yet, so this could change)
VIM
Hidden Menu and anything that requires using the hidden menu
Automatic parking brake

Could we activate the Battery Meter?

What hardware and/or software do I need to accomplish these tweaks?

Ricckky

Do a forum or Google search for VCDS or Vag-Com. Or find someone near you to do it.

Do you have the coding? If it's done via the hidden menu, you'll have to find out how to unlock the hidden menu first.

Here's a good list howto

Has anyone tried the enable battery meter on their C7 A6?
