I have read all the Vag Com threads and have only found one vague reference to being able to tighten up steering. Anyone tried this and what were the results?

Also, is there any adjustment for throttle response?

Tighten the steering: Macuser reported on AudiZine.com that by coding in 09 - Cent. Elect. the byte 07 from 01 to 00 (that is, turn off/set to 0 the bit 0 in byte 7) will tighten/stiffen the steering considerably. As with the TPMS coding above which affected the ABS unit, a word of serious warning because this affects systems relating to control of car. This coding was apparently found by accident, nobody in public seems to know what it really does and how. It might adversely affect your car's control, warranty and/or break it, for all we know. So try at your own risk, with care and outside of open roads. Follow the story here: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=341174 and http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...278256&page=12.

i am very interested in this. this is my one complaint about the s5 compared to my e46 m3. would this work on an 08 s5?

Thanks, just read that entire 12 page thread. Seems like most of the adjustments are light and door lock related. I'm surprised there aren't any adjustments for things like throttle. Maybe that's ECU related.
