I just received the below message from Kufatec re HBA reset, but I want ensure I confirm this will work on the B9 platform:
Dear XXXXXXXX,
Thank you for your request.
Please use item 43262. This item is for HBA activation and will also enable the memory function in the car so you do not need to re-enable this every time.
Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,
KUFATEC Support Team Nima Ghassemi

Interesting. Are you going to order it? Makes me wonder if the coding performed by the dongle can be duplicated via a different tool like Vag-COM or OBDEleven.
The product page doesn't mention HBA "sticking" after restart specifically...

I've used an Arduino computer with a can-bus comms module and a Y-OBD connector to record comms between OBD-11 and my car. So yes, the exact parameters that are being modified can be recorded and either duplicated with the Arduino, or another tool assuming they have access to those parameters.

I was wondering the exact same thing, but the email I received stated it WOULD maintain the setting, post shutdown/restart.
I'm posting to see if someone has already ordered it and can tell us what changes it made....
As we have the MQB platform, our instructions are different than the rare posting is see to do this from the MLB platform.
And those previous to this post, who have scanned the Vag-Com don't find any alignment to the MLB instructions (terms don't match, etc.).
I am clearly aware that the two platforms are different, by the current MQB-EVO platformed A6, has this enabled from the factory.
If the A6, with whom we share the MQB-EVO platform has it, there must be similar settings in a different module, or it must be a long coding exercise.
I'm still pretty sure it's in the 09 module, after requesting a few times, no one has posted the 09 module long coding from an A6 which will help us....
So, yes - I think I will order once I confirm they understood when I said "maintain setting after re-start".....

If you want to send me the tools required, I'll help extract the coding needed.
Again, once I've confirmed their English to German was interpreted correctly.

Err....B9 cars are MLB-evo platform, not MQB.
MQB is the VW/Audi transverse platform (Golf 7/7.5, Tiguan, Atlas, Arteon, Audi A3/S3, Q3).
Yes, I misspoke.
I'm awaiting confirmation as this device claims to work on both MLB/MQB - just need the EVO portion confirmed by Kufatec.
Good deal. It would be nice if it did.
It's annoying that VAG doesn't consistently use module coding across model lines, platforms, models on the same platform, or even for different years of the same generation.
I've see lots on activating lane assist but I want to turn it off on my B9 RS5 with OBD 11....Is there one Adaptation that will kill it without going thru all the long coding??

I will assume that ALA was not a purchased item, and that you activated it via OBD11? If so, easiest way to toggle on / off via OBD11 is to:
Control module (A5) Front Sensors Drivers Assistance System ->
Adaptation -> Switch-on condition, lane depart. warn. ->
and change the value from "On" to "Off" (if "Off" isn't there, then it would be "Selection via menu")
