A few of us changed the brakelight settings to make the light flashing under emergency braking conditions. Something like this:
Yesterday I was behind BMW 750 and I noticed that it had a different setup. When the driver pushed the brake hard, it went from regular brake lights to brake lights plus the rear fog lights. I (the guy behind) found it very helpful.![Smile](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
So is that a standard BMW feature or a custom one. Or maybe the driver pulled the switch manually?
So is there a way to wire Audi to do the same?

Unless the code in the USA has changed recently, auto flashing lights are not compliant.
I agree that it can be helpful as a signal when the car ahead is under aggressive braking.

There is a very similar function you can program for our cars, you can find pictures and coding here: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-...-vcds-2878197/
